Fall at RMU
Hey all,
Welcome to my awesome blog!! ... okay, maybe not so awesome but I will try to keep everyone updated on what's happening here on the moon! This semester has been totally crazy, exciting, and stressful all rolled into one! We've just finished midterms (which thankfully I didn't really have any, a perk of being a media student) so everyone around here has been pretty stressed lately. But everyone's starting to relax again.
I absolutely love fall in western PA! I know, I sound like I've never seen fall leaves before but I think some of the trees around here are really beautiful. I just spent a weekend up north in Cooks Forest and Volant (outside of Grove City, PA) and we had an awesome time. I took one of my roommates,Farhana, and her sister,Kayenat, with me. The girls are from Bangladesh and Kayenat had never seen the fall leaves before... I figured it just wasn't right to be in PA in Autumn and not experience it country style. lol
Now, don't get me wrong... I don't want you all to think that just because we traveled all day Friday to have some fun that nothing happens here on campus. Because that's definitely not true! Two weeks ago was RMU Homecoming! 
That was one awesome weekend. Student life sponsors a dance at the ball room of a local hotel every year, and the entire school goes... okay almost the entire school... but still it's an awesome excuse to get all dressed up and have a great time w/ some friends. Who knows you may even meet some awesome people there! I know I did!
On that Saturday our boys beat our rivals, DUQUESNE, in our first conference game of the season. WAY TO GO COLONIALS! That was one intense game. We sold out to standing room only! The stadium was packed! And our guard preformed with the band in pre-game! Our colorguard, including yours truly, is new this semester and is really getting underway for next season. I'm really excited to see what our girls can do!! Our winterguard season starts next month so we're all so pumped!
Oh! And a couple other really cool things happening around campus as of late! We just had a paranormal investigator come visit Massey hall, home of colonial theater, to see if it really is haunted. You can read all about it in the latest edition of the Sentry, our student newspaper.
Speaking of Colonial theatre! They just finished their first production of the season! Aida was a major hit! I can't believe that we have such a huge group of such talented students among us here at RMU! It was truly an amazing performance. I LOVED IT!! The theatre's hard at work again though. Their next show comes out in the beginning of November. Awesome 80's Prom is being held at local hall in downtown Pittsburgh! I can't wait to go see it.. I love dinner theater!!!
Well thats all I've got for now guys! I've gotta go get ready for a really fun pre-halloween weekend!! But check out the pics from Homecoming and I'll post some from my Fall getaway as soon as I get them uploaded!!
