Alison Whartenby Well, I am officially home for Winter break! It's weird. I was so looking forward to going home and just relaxing, but the second I left Widener I got really sad. I was already missing my roommates! Oh well. I am home now and have not done much relaxing yet, but I'll get to it soon, I hope! These past few weeks have been crazy! No lie, I had SEVEN papers due my final week! Yes, SEVEN! Man, I was swampped. Luckily, I only had two finals though and they weren't that difficult. I am going back to Widener on Saturday morning. Me, President Harris, and a group of other students are going to deliver Christmas presents to families in the area who are in need this time of year! I am so excited. I hear it is a lot of fun! And next Monday I am going to my absolute favorite place on earth with my best friends from high school...New York City!!!! We are going to see "Spring Awakening." We usually go to NY to see a show instead of getting each other gifts. It is so much fun! Okay--I must go. Off to babysit. Hopefully I'll have time to read tonight! I have to read seven novels for my one class next semester. Looks like seven is my lucky number. I can't complain though...I did choose to be an English major and I love it! I'll update again soon! tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/widener/AlisonWhartenby//316.7749 2008-10-29T19:12:11Z 2008-10-29T20:07:37Z

Alison Whartenby I cannot believe that I am half way through this semester already! Time is really flying! School is going well. I just got some of my mid-term grades and everything looks great! Unfortunately, I am so incredibly tired all of the time. Life is just a little too busy right now. Being President of RHA is very time consuming. I love it, but it's much more work then I thought it was going to be. I have so much reading for my classes and so many papers to write. Then there are all of the other organizations that I am a part of and my two jobs. Plus, I just broke up with my boyfriend, so I am in no mood to be happy right now (and I am usually always happy). Okay--so now that I vented--everything else seems to be going okay. I am so excited for Halloween this coming Friday! I am not sure what I am doing yet, but I know I need to have a fun weekend with my friends to get everything else off of my mind. I am thinking about being Tinker Bell. She is totally my favorite! Last week the President's Office sent me to a Bonner Leadership Conference in West Virginia. That was a lot of fun! In case you don't know, Bonner is a community service based organization. On Widener's campus it is also called the Presidential Service Corps (PSC). The conference was great! I learned many new ways to do service and met a great deal of people that I hope to see again at future conferences! I have so many ideas of what I want to do on campus and around the community now. I cannot wait to get everything started! Oh, and the Presidential election is 6 days away!! I am so pumped! I have voted before for mayor, but never President! This is a big deal! Obama was on campus yesterday. While I don't think I am voting for him, it was wonderful to hear him speak and an experience I will never forget! Okay--must go. Hopefully I'll update again soon. Ali P.S.- Cannot wait for snow!!! tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/widener/AlisonWhartenby//316.7122 2008-08-29T21:40:09Z 2008-09-02T20:31:43Z

Alison Whartenby So, I am officially back at Widener! I am very exicted. I had to move in a week and a half early because I am doing CREW (Committee Responsible for Enhancing Widener), which is a club that helps with Freshmen Orientation. So far the training has been a great deal of fun. I can't wait until Monday when all of the new students move-in! Then, classes start on Thursday, and I am actually very excited for that as well. It is crazy to think that summer is already over! It flew by, probably because I had so much fun. I went to Florida with three of my friends right when finals were over. We went to Clearwater and stayed at a hotel right on the beach. It was so nice to just relax for a week! I also had an AWESOME job at a law firm in down-town Philly. It was absolutely amazing! Somehow I loved every second of it, but it certainly kept me incredinly busy. I went on a family vacation to Canada for the Fourth of July (I know, very patriotic of me, right). I also spent some time down the shore with my friends and family. So, now I am back at Widener and I am very happy. This year is going to be awesome, I can just tell. However, it will be hard to compete with the amount of fun I had last year! We'll see! tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/widener/AlisonWhartenby//316.5901 2008-04-09T14:28:59Z 2008-04-10T15:39:31Z

Well, I was just looking at my calendar and realized we only have three weeks of classes left. It is so crazy how quickly the time is flying! I feel like just yesterday I was moving in to my dorm...

Hello Everybody! It's our first week back from Spring Break and so far it has been pretty good! I have so much due this week and luckily for me, my teachers keep on pushing it back. I don't actually know...

Alison Whartenby Hello all...just wanted to check in and say hello. It's the fourth week of the new semester, and still, so far so good. I am really tired this week though. I have had so much reading, countless meetings, and am working three jobs. But, I love to be busy always, so I'm enjoying my schedule. I went for a job interview for a summer job down town today. I actually just got back. I think it went pretty well. It's awesome being so close to the train station that takes you right down town. I think my friends and I are going to go down one night and walk around when it gets warmer. We did that last semester and it was awesome. Oh, guess what! I got a call from my best friend on Friday saying she was getting her appendix taken out! As alarming as that is, I was kind of excited because I got mine taken out my sophomore year of high school! It was actually pretty cool. The teachers were really nice to me. Haha. And now my friend and I have matching scars! Well, that is all I pretty much have to say. Off to possibly take a much-needed nap! tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/widener/AlisonWhartenby//316.4646 2008-01-23T15:10:41Z 2008-01-23T20:00:04Z

Hey Everybody! Well, I am a week and a half into the semester, and so far things seem to be going pretty well. I love my classes, my teachers are fantastic, and so far I haven't had too much homework...just...

Alison Whartenby Zac Efron (I know, a little crazy, but come on, how could I resist). Alright, that's all for now. Oh, and I forgot to say...I was just on Facebook yesterday and noticed there was a new group...Widener Class of 2012. You should all totally join!]]>
