In order to kick off the week, all freshmen and sophomores made their way to the quad last night at midnight to do the PC tradition of the "Civ Scream." My friends Jaime, Liz and I went to 10:30 mass, got hot chocolate at Slavin and made our way to the quad and screamed with the crowd all gathered around. I love corny traditions like that, they make me happy! So tomorrow my first civ final is at 4:00 and once it is over I will feel free, 4 days of studying is enough for me, wish me luck! In lighter news, I went to the PC vs. URI game on Saturday and it was the most intense thing I have ever gone to. The place was packed and part of our student section was set aside for the URI students. We were trailing the entire game, but when push came to shove, our defense held out in the final seconds for a win. The crowd went ballistic and the streets were packed with excited PC kids waiting for the buses to return back to campus. Off for some last minute studying then home Friday! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/finals_week.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/finals_week.html Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:12:16 -0500 WANT TO KNOW WHY PC IS AWESOME... So tonight my friends Jaime, Caileigh, Kelsey and I spent our night participating in a Gingerbread House Contest and we had a total BLAST! Each table got 6 bowls of candy, two containers of frosting, a box of gram crackers and we had 90 minutes to construct a masterpiece. Every couple of minutes there was Christmas Trivia and you could win extra supplies; it was so intense! WE CAME IN THIRD out of 14 teams and here are some pictures of our house...ENJOY! Working hard... The Team... THE FINAL PRODUCT! ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/extreme_makeover_gingerbread_e.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/extreme_makeover_gingerbread_e.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:22:06 -0500 I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break, I know I did! I headed home to Blackstone on Tuesday night, spent time with my family, went to lunch with my best friend from home Ashley, hung out with my boyfriend Josh and his family and just had a goodtime! Thanksgiving day it was just me, mom, dad and my sister, we watched the Macy's Day Parade and had a cozy dinner, plus delicious dessert from a local pastry place called Wright's Dairy in North Smithfield! I think I gained the freshman fifteen just in these past 5 days, haha! It is sort of a tease going home for 5 days and then coming back to a week of classes and exams and then leaving again! But I'm a college kid now, I got to deal you know? Anyways this week is going to be a crazy one, full of finishing papers, intramural playoffs, basketball games and studying for FINALS! Congrats to those of you who are starting to get your acceptance letters, I know a few of my friends back home have just been accepted to their first schools and it is so exciting! Keep your eyes open for that PC letter, and good luck! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/thanksgiving_break.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/12/thanksgiving_break.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:03:10 -0500 Me and Christina in our AFRICAN COSTUMES! ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/dance_club_fall_showfabulous_w.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/dance_club_fall_showfabulous_w.html Mon, 24 Nov 2008 01:10:12 -0500 Below are some pics from our field trip..

My friend Liz and I went to the 2 pm production of "Breaking the Cycle," a series of three plays: Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides, Agamemnon by Aeschylus and Electra by Sophocles. Although it was an extra credit assignment for our Civ class, I am really glad that I went as the acting and staging were phenomenal. It was a student-run production and the cast members were amazing, taking the complete role of their characters. As someone who is not into theatre and for those of you who might be in the same boat, it is really neat to reach out to groups such as theatre on campus to sort of culture yourself about what college is all about. I think of college as a time for experimenting, exploring and taking advantage of all that these four years offer you. I think by attending that play today, I reached out to a part of PC that I had not yet! I hope to attend another play, Philoctetes in December and hopefully a few others this year as well. The Providence College theatre department is extremely talented and well worth seeing. So come on down to PC and catch a show! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/blackfriar_theatre.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/blackfriar_theatre.html Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:08:44 -0500 Hey Ya'll, sorry for the lack of an update lately, but things have really picked up as far as my work load and activity load. This week I had an English paper due Tuesday, a Math exam this morning and then I just finished my final Western Civ paper due Friday - talk about stressful. Anyway I am so glad I started my Civ paper early, because come tomorrow night I do not have to panic about writing it last minute and I can relax and watch Grey's with my girls! Also this week I have started my first intramural experiences here at PC. My friends and I made a co-ed dodge ball team and we are currently UNDEFEATED 3-0. I was on the championship team at my high school and three of the guys on our team were the champs at their high school which means that we are awesome! It is so much fun and I am so glad we made a team, we have our next set of matches tomorrow night, GO TEAM BOO-YAH! Tonight I also had my first 3 on 3 basketball game and it was a blast, especially because some of the girls on my team I do not know that well yet, so I get to play basketball and make new friends! I can't wait for the weekend, I have friends coming, and I'm going to my first hockey/basketball games, wohooo! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/stress_intramurals.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/stress_intramurals.html Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:06:43 -0500 As we all know this past Tuesday was the 2008 Presidential Election, which happened to also be the first election in which I got to participate in as a young woman of voting age! On Tuesday night, my dad picked me up at school and we took the 25 minute ride back to my hometown where we both filled out our ballots! Then as I was leaving, the lady at the door handed me my "I voted today," sticker and I thought it was so cool. I could finally vote and more importantly I took advantage of my ability to vote! On an academic note, we got our midterm grades this week and my classes are looking good! We are also getting ready to register for classes next semester! I cannot believe I am almost through one semester of college, it is crazy! I decided that I will remain undeclared for the rest of the year; however spring semester, I am going to take an education class, to test the waters and see if I like it..I still really have no idea what I want to do, but hey...I don't need to know quite yet! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/i_voted.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/11/i_voted.html Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:41:19 -0500 FRIENDS! Jim, Me and Matt Susie&Me! Then Saturday came along and it was the start of Freshmen Family Weekend. When I woke up I looked out the window and saw everyone walking around with their parents! My mom and dad came in the afternoon and we went and watched the field hockey and soccer games, and went to brunch.Then that night, my family and Jaime's family went out to dinner on Thayer street to Paragon and I had steak..it was amazing! However, I learned this morning that my Nana passed away. Anyone who reads this, please keep her in your prayers. Thanks!

Now if I didn't have to go to these events, I probably would have never seen the video, but my Women's Studies Class persuaded me to go and I loved it. I found the movie very moving and it made me think that women would be silly not to vote after seeing that movie. Basically I think what Providence College offers for outside the classroom learning is really neat. Events that departments hold such as the movie I watched tonight are really enlightening and allow you to relate your studies to the real world. I have a monologue due tomorrow for this class and I have yet to memorize it yet, so off I go..Wish me luck! P.S. If you leave me a comment, which I hope you do! Just know that I will answer any questions you have in the comment section - so you can find your answer there! Thanks!]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/10/cool_opportunities_thanks_to_w.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/10/cool_opportunities_thanks_to_w.html Wed, 29 Oct 2008 23:51:08 -0500 One thing I love about PC is the fact that we have 10:30 mass, but not in the morning...10:30 at night! It is so nice to wake up on Sunday morning, as late as you want, and know that you can still make it to mass that night after you've done all your errands and such. Personally, it is not just the time of the mass that I love, but mass itself. It is so cool to be in St. Dominic Chapel surrounded by all your peers who are not being forced to go to church, but want to be there. Most everyone is in sweat shirts and sweatpants, which you might say is not church attire, but for some reason, it works here. Nobody cares what each other are wearing, we are all just happy to be at church together at PC. Also the music is fantastic and the homilies always interesting, and always geared toward what is going on in our lives. The friars don't talk at us, but instead they talk with us. So now on to one of the traditions Jaime and I have started here..10:30 Mass and hot cocoa in our rooms after! It may sound silly but we look forward to going to mass together and then chit-chatting with hot cocoa and finishing up our homework after! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/10/1030_mass_hot_cocoa.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2008/10/1030_mass_hot_cocoa.html Mon, 27 Oct 2008 00:01:36 -0500 And here are some pictures of the field trip I went on today with my mentoring program to Cox Communications...
