Do you enjoy cooking? Cooking is a great way to express yourself in a new medium and meet and learn about other people. If you don’t enjoy cooking food, do you enjoy eating food? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions then you should know that there is a great on [...]
Two More Weeks to Spring Break…
02-25-11: Two More Weeks to Spring Break… With the temperature outside reaching a balmy 50 degrees Fahrenheit, spring seemed to be on its way after a very long winter in upstate New York. It isn’t – it was about ten degrees the next day and it snowed a week later. However, even with the slightly [...]
Free food is one of the greatest things in college
Last week was the warmest week we have had here yet this semester. It was great hanging outside and playing beach volleyball when I got back from class. I played in my first soccer game last week since spraining my ankle over winter break. We played horribly, but it was great to finally be playing [...]
More and more work…
Guess who’s back? Welcome once again, my name is Zach. This past week was a tiring one. I spent most of the time writing the rough draft for my presentation essay for my Science, Technology, and Society class. It ended up being seven pages long. Last week was also a big week for intramural sports. [...]
Spring break in Daytona Beach
Spring break is over and done with and it was awesome. Daytona Beach was incredible and so much fun. The weather was beautiful except for two days when it rained, but on those days the rain stopped by the evening. Our room was insane. We had a time share on the 25th floor—the top floor. [...]
Tests don’t get cancelled very easily
My test Friday was not cancelled (as expected). I was really busy this week, so I didn’t get much time to study. I did a back test Wednesday and reviewed a bit, but not nearly enough. So Thursday, I pulled an all nighter. I was busy the entire day working on other things, and I [...]
Sheer hilarity
Improv on the violin is hard enough…when I’m alone and have had a couple years of practice. Now let’s bring that on stage in front of a whole bunch of college students and the public and just think on the spot using comedy. Not only do you have to keep it going, blurting out any sentence in your head [...]
Spring break’s a comin’
Spring break is the week after this one! I have to say how excited I am for the chance to relax and see my family for a week without having to worry about exams. Break will be even more refreshing considering the fact that I am worked right up through Friday at 3:00 pm when [...]
More snow!
Back to an ordinary schedule this week. I didn’t get a chance to do much this past weekend since I had a lot of work due Monday, mostly because I have Thermals Lab that day. It is scheduled for three hours and took longer than that. There was one part that took pretty long to [...]
A call of duty
This week started off pretty well. Classes aren’t very demanding yet, so I’ve had time to do more work than usual and stay on top of things. The career fair went well. Hopefully I’ll have something lined up for the summer. I didn’t get to do much this week since I was trying to get [...]
