It has been a blast writing each week for you guys to read and now it is coming to an end. But, it’s like they say, all good things must come to an end. My experiences here at Mount Aloysius the past three years were amazing. The friendships and memories I've made here contributed greatly to my love for the college. From runs to Sheetz to late night hang outs to the Halloween dances and college trips, they made my stay at the college both fun and exciting. Saying good-bye to them is going to be the hardest part for me....because I know I won't be missing the school work anytime soon…Haha. The professors and their genuine concern for the students as well as their passion for teaching is something that I will miss greatly as well. Many people come to college and become eager and anxious to be done so they can start working and making money. We sometimes lose sight of what we will miss when we leave and move on to bigger things in life. If you are a reader and are coming to Mount Aloysius, you will have an awesome time and will meet some really cool people. Be careful, because if you blink, it'll be over before you know it. Time flies by so fast, therefore, you need to cherish the moments as they come. Best of luck to everyone in all you do in life. And for the very last time....cya. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/goodbye.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/goodbye.html Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:08:15 -0500 Hey everyone, Hope you enjoyed yourself this past week. It was a busy week early on for me. I had a bunch of homework to do, a presentation to finish and a paper. However, after Thursday, my work-load will be a little lighter to finish up the semester. This week, I submitted my stuff for the Class of 2009 Time Capsule, which will be opened 25 years from now in 2034. It is going to be crazy to see all the things people donated 25 years from now. It was nice to see all the things I saved and collected over the years. The things I submitted ranged from the very first sweatshirt I bought and wore from the Mount to McCain Palin bumper stickers. I also went through a bunch of photos on Facebook, going all the way back to freshman year. I have awesome memories with my friends here at Mount Aloysius College and will never forget them. The hard part for me, after I graduate, is going to be the fact that I won't be spending it with my friends, who are all coming back to finish their senior year. Well I am going to wipe away my tears...haha...I’m just kidding, I'm not a crier. But it is a sad thing to leave people who you have become so close with over the years. Well this is all for me. Hope you all enjoy your weekend...I think it is supposed to get up in the 70s! Until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/time_capsule.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/time_capsule.html Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:25:27 -0500 Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great Easter and that is was spent with family and friends. I enjoyed being home for the holiday. All I did was eat tons of candy that my little brother and niece got from the Easter bunny. I got to see my extended family, some of whom I have not seen since Christmas, so that was nice to see everyone again. I also got to see a bunch of my friends from high school too. This week, I finished up my 20-page Capstone paper. It was due at midnight on Wednesday, and I submitted it with a couple minutes to spare...haha. CAC (Colleges Against Cancer) is putting on the finishing touches for Relay for Life. We are working hard to put on yet another successful year of Relay. The event is going to be outside this year in front of Ihmsen Hall. We just hope that the weather will stay nice for us. We have many great activities planned throughout the entire 24-hour event to help beat cancer. If any of you are in the area, stop by and join in on the fun! I hope everyone has an awesome week. Enjoy the nice weather and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/relay_for_life_toonin_out_canc.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/relay_for_life_toonin_out_canc.html Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:16:43 -0500 Hey everyone: I hope you enjoyed yet another week of April. I cannot believe my last break as a Mount Aloysius student has come. We have off Friday and Monday for Easter break. I will be heading home on Thursday. I am very excited to go home to see my family and friends. It has been a month since I was home last. This week was a short one, so it flew by quicker than usual. The PT Club was selling Easter eggs to raise money for children with Muscular Dystrophy. We are trying to raise $150.00, which will pay for one session of physical therapy. There was also a guest lecturer on campus this week. Sr. Margaret Farley gave a lecture about death on Wednesday night. It was an informative and interesting discussion. Well this is all for me this week. I will be spending a lot of my time over break working on my 20 page paper for my Capstone class. I hope you all have a blessed Easter and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/happy_easter.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/04/happy_easter.html Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:30:15 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/03/jamaica_land_we_love_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/03/jamaica_land_we_love_1.html Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:26:23 -0500 Hi Everyone It has finally come....Spring Break. It is what so many college students wait for when they come back from winter break. For me, I am excited to head to Jamaica for a week. It is going to be a great experience and I cannot wait for it. Although come to think of it...I have not even packed yet…haha. Oh well, I will probably do that a couple of hours before we leave. Monday, MAC Goes Green and SIFE held our Eco-Expo/Art Show. We had different vendors come and provide education on recycling and helping the environment. It was a good turnout for the first year. The art show was interesting as well. There was a variety of art work, ranging from a skeleton made out of milk jugs (which won first place) and ballerina made from old copper piping. It is amazing what you can make out of trash. Recycling is going well on campus too. We are in week five of Recycle-mania and have recycled over 300lbs of plastic and aluminum. It is great to see the school increase the amount of waste recycled. When emptying the bags, it is amazing to think of all the bottles and cans going in the landfills. Well I hope you guys all enjoy your week. I cannot wait to come back and share my experiences in Jamaica with you. This is all for me and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/spring_break.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/spring_break.html Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:26:50 -0500 Hi everyone, I hope you all are enjoying your week. This Thursday, Colleges Against Cancer is hosting Purple 101, an awareness day to get people signed up and ready to go for Relay for Life. Wednesday night, club members decorated the entire upper lobby of Cosgrave Center in purple. There were purple balloons, purple streamers, purple signs, purple stars...purple everything. The club then spent the lunch hours on Thursday getting people signed up for Relay. Relay for Life is the biggest event on campus and this is the Mount's sixth year participating in the nationwide event to help eliminate cancer. MAC Goes Green was busy this week too. It was another week of recycling, plus we are getting things ready for our Eco-Expo/Art show; co-sponsored with SIFE. This event is designed to make people aware of the different businesses that are “going green� and also to make everyone aware of how they can become environmentally friendly too. There are going to be a lot of informational handouts from numerous vendors, as well as some representatives from local businesses. We have great door prizes to give out as well. In addition, the school is at about 250lbs total for recycled aluminum and plastic. Our totals have been increasing each week and the campus is really taking part in helping the environment. Another week has come and gone and only one more week until Spring Break! I hope you all enjoy your week and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/purple_101.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/purple_101.html Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:28:42 -0500 Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your week. We all had a very nice week of weather for the most part. It made the days go much better with not having to worry about freezing when walking from class to class. I even saw some people walking around campus in shorts and sandals. That might have been taking it to an extreme...but the weather was nice this week! On Wednesday, we held a Caribbean Day for the school's trip to Jamaica. The cafe made Caribbean-type food. We had Caribbean theme music playing throughout the day. In the evening, we had mocktails, snacks, crafts and live entertainment. We also held a fundraiser to help raise money for the trip. The day went well and people seemed to enjoy themselves. Another fundraiser we are doing is having a professor kiss a pig. We have a number of professors with jars and people put money in the person's jar they want to see kiss a pig. It is getting pretty close between a couple of professors, but it is going to be interesting once we get a winner. Well, we had a nice week for Caribbean Day. It almost felt like we were in Jamaica...haha. I hope you guys all have an awesome week and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/nice_weather_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/nice_weather_1.html Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:24:53 -0500 Hi Everyone, What a Super Bowl this year! I thought last year's game was awesome, but I think this year's was even more exciting. My team didn't make it, but it sure was a fun game to watch. I was even nervous when Pittsburgh was making their last drive to try and win the game and I don't even like the Steelers. Congratulations to all you Steelers fans. Up here at Mount Aloysius, we are getting more snow and cold weather. However, the weekend looks promising as it is supposed to get up into the 40s. In a few weeks, I will be going on a service trip with the school to Jamaica. As a fundraiser, we sent letters home to all the parents of resident students asking if they would like to send their son or daughter a care package. This week, we delivered the ones for Groundhog Day. The students were surprised to get something from their parents. It is a great fundraiser and is really helping us reach our goal. The rest of my week was filled with homework and studying, which is typical for your everyday college student...haha. Well this is all for me this week. I hope you all have an awesome week and until next time....cya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/super_six.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/02/super_six.html Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:32:03 -0500 Hi everyone, I hope that your week has treated you well and you are all excited for the weekend....I know I am. It has just been your average week here for me at the Mount. We have had some wintry weather here and Wednesday we had a two-hour delay and evening classes were cancelled. The roads were very icy up here this week. We had our first CAC (College's Against Cancer) meeting of the semester this week. We talked about Purple 101, which is a day to get people informed about Relay for Life and the fight against cancer. We also had the first PT Club (Physical Therapy) meeting this week as well. We discussed the different service projects we will partake in this semester, which include an MDA fundraiser and Relay for Life. We are also trying, alongside with Alumni Relations, to hold a PTA alumni social sometime this semester. I am excited for the many events and projects that will be happening this semester. I hope you all enjoy your weekend...and for all you Steelers fans...good luck! Until next time...c-ya later. http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/another_week.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/another_week.html Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:13:26 -0500 This weekend, I head to Pittsburgh for an interview with Chatham University. I applied to Chatham for graduate school. It will be my first interview for graduate admissions. I am very excited to begin the process of looking at schools. However, I cannot imagine living, working and going to school anywhere other than Mount Aloysius. Yet, it is something that has to be done in order to pursue my dream to become a physical therapist. I hope you all have a great week and until next time...cya later.]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/recylcing_is_here_2.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/recylcing_is_here_2.html Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:18:46 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/welcome_back.html http://blogs.targetx.com/mtaloy/CoreyFehr/2009/01/welcome_back.html Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:56:10 -0500
