Remember the fifth of November

By Christopher N. ⋅ November 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Remember the fifth of November. I watched a movie with my friends last night, so good. I’m still quoting it. On a completely unrelated note, I LOVE RPI HOCKEY! I bought season tickets with my friends and I have been having a blast at every game. Last week was great, we played Army and I [...]

First place going into the playoffs

By Derek ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

To say the least last week was exhausting. I had another presentation for senior lab about fluid flow, a test in chemical engineering separations, and a few other assignments thrown in there. We had a hockey game on Monday night, but got crushed because we haven’t played in over two weeks, but are still in [...]

Black Friday

Hi Everyone,
Halloween was pretty fun. I went out both Friday and Saturday and had a good time. Today is Black Friday, which means it’s the first ECAC Hockey opener. Tonight we’re playing against Yale. They call it black Friday because the RPI team wears special black jerseys. I’m planning on going with a few friends [...]

This was my last Family Weekend here at RPI

By Sam ⋅ October 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This was my last Family Weekend here at RPI. Well it’s not really a big deal because my parents live 25 minutes away so I see them often enough unlike other families that live farther away. It was fun none the less. I went to the hockey game on Friday night and saw the hockey [...]

Family Weekend

By Andrew ⋅ October 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Every time it comes to be Friday I get a sense of relief. During the week it’s a lot of work, and a lot of effort, and on the weekends it’s nice to be able to relax. Studying still has to get done of course, but there’s plenty of time to relax. I’m sure I’ll [...]

The ECAV opening was amazing

By Franklin ⋅ October 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Wooo! The ECAV opening was amazing. Fanfest was loaded down with all sorts of food at the start of the day, including kettle corn, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, and free soda! After the initial part of the day, where I said hi to dozens of friends and sat on the high steps, the games [...]

Backstage passes to the RPI Pepband…sort of

By Marissa ⋅ October 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a few days ago the RPI club Hockey team cut up the ice in our campus’ Houston Field House. The pep band was warming up their instruments for the upcoming division I Hockey season. Not the greatest sound to here when you’ve got some freshmen first learning the songs, but I know my roommate [...]

The most stressful week so far

By Derek ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

So this was definitely the most stressful week so far. I had three homework assignments due, a presentation yesterday, and a test today. I spent so much time in the Union working, because it’s tough for me to get work done in my house because there is always something fun going on. But it’s all [...]

Only a couple weeks left in summer

By Derek Y. ⋅ August 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

As the school year really starts to get closer you start to realize how much stuff still needs to get done. I am going to be really busy these next couple of weeks. I have to continue and hopefully finish all the minor work that I have been doing on my apartment. I also have [...]

First time for everything

By Carlos ⋅ March 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Learning does not have to stop in a classroom. While at Rensselaer, you’ll have plenty of chances to try new things. This year I decided I would learn how to play ice hockey.
