Right now I’m on Thanksgiving break but it isn’t really going to be much of a break for me! I have two term papers due when I get back but I haven’t actually started either of them. I have to come up with some way to present these two papers to their respective classes. I have journals that I was supposed to be writing a little bit at a time since Mid-terms but have been slacking on doing. I also have work to do for a University Ministry Night that is happening the week after break. It’s a really good thing we have a whole week of for Thanksgiving!!!! Many people would read this and think oh well she has been slacking all semester doing everything else but her homework. That’s not the case at all!! I have been doing my homework. I’ve been better this semester than any other about doing the reading I have to do for all my classes on time every time. The problem is that these papers have to get done ON TOP OF all that reading. Trust me, when you get to college the reading is not 5-10 pages per day. I’m talking, if you combine all the reading I have to do for all my classes, every night I have been reading at LEAST 100 pages. Most days I read more like 150-175 pages. Doing that and everything else I’m doing has left me with little enough sleep. So as not to make this too much of a complaining session, I guess my advice to you all when you come to college is this: get involved it makes the college experience infinitely better but make sure not to get so involved that you don’t have a life because that’s not fun. Find a balance. Have enough time to do all your homework on time, after all that is the reason for coming to school- to learn something! http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/finals.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/finals.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:18:50 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/seussical.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/seussical.html Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:11:45 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/applebees_for_jens_21st_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/11/applebees_for_jens_21st_1.html Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:09:55 -0500 In looking forward to college, I imagined becoming an informed person. That sounds vague I know. What I mean is that I looked forward to learning what was going on in the nation, in the world, and what I could do about it. I didn’t think that I would only find out about the problems. I imagined learning about the way systems work, the way governments interact with one another, why science says what it does about global warming, etc. I wanted to learn about it all and about how I fit into the global equation. The elections this year are a great example of how college campuses can help inform their students. When I thought about what it would be like to vote in college, I imagined presidential nominees coming to campus to speak or former presidents coming to speak on their behalf. Now, I love Saint Leo and most of the time I love that I go to a small school but we have less than 2,000 on campus resident students. There is no way a presidential nominee would ever come to a school that small during a campaign. However, what I came to understand tonight was that in spite of our size we can still inform our citizens in a way that is unique to the college atmosphere. Tonight, University Ministry hosted a Symposium Dinner. We had three professors from various fields (a sociologist, an economist, and a theologian) talk about what it means to vote in light of their fields and faith. Using their experience in their fields and the way our society and economy are today, they talked about what it means for us to vote today. They did a very good job of not telling us for whom we should vote. Rather they spoke on the issues. It was fantastic. It was like almost like having the perks of a large school but on a small scale and with a Saint Leo flavor. http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/10/elections_symposium_dinner.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/10/elections_symposium_dinner.html Wed, 29 Oct 2008 23:09:13 -0500 Singing along to Pocahontas Walking to Sweetberries Reenacting Pocahontas Mommy hugs!!!! :-D ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/09/home_weekend_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/09/home_weekend_1.html Sun, 21 Sep 2008 10:00:17 -0500 This is me (on the right) with my roommate Laura (on the left), one of my best friends Sarah (in the middle), our friend Lucas (in the back). ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/09/time_warp.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/09/time_warp.html Fri, 05 Sep 2008 22:52:56 -0500 ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/08/50s_ice_cream_social_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/08/50s_ice_cream_social_1.html Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:48:47 -0500 Me after a church thing My mom and I at a Rays baseball game this summer (yes I was a fan before they got good) My sister and I in Sweden where she lives Me at the World of Coke in March during our SERVE trip]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/08/hi_everyone_i_wanted_to.html http://blogs.targetx.com/slu/ChristinaBeu/2008/08/hi_everyone_i_wanted_to.html Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:39:12 -0500
