Poster Child & Rez Council

So, I have 2 mid terms left. Algebra and Calculus… #2’s. haha This week has been really wicked so far though. Rez Council events for Halloween, which I helped organize, going on. Random CFM things going on as well.

Poster Child
Today I went to DC and met up with my program manager, Colleen, for a photo shoot. These photos were being used for the CFM poster. I was very excited! The first picture was a single picture of myself in a suit and the second one was a group shot. It was a lot of fun! However, by me saying the first and second photo, I mean there was a total of 90+ pictures taken. The photographer was amazing! He was really nice and made everything look really good. I’m excited to see how everything turns out. Now I know Colleen is probably going to be reading this at one point or another, so let’s mention her! haha Colleen is the awesome manager of my program. She knows everything about everyone in CFM. Scary? Nah… Anywho, she looked like she had fun during our photo taking.

Halloween
Rez Council has been organizing events for Halloween. So far we’ve had a pumpkin carving competition, Dress your Don (An upper year student who acts like your “cool aunt/uncle” while you live in rez), Movie night, exc…
At the moment, we’re getting a Haunted House ready and getting ready for our first All Ages event at Bomber (on-campus pub). It should be a lot of fun! When it’s all over, I’ll definatly let you know how everything went!

Thanksgiving, Mid term update, Res council update

Hey everyone,

I went home for thankgiving and it was amazing! On the friday, I went out with the girls (a.k.a – the best friends). I went to my grandmothers house for a nice thankgiving meal on the Saturday. On the Monday, I went to my aunts for, yet another, thanksgiving meal! I was definatly stuffed by the end of all that eating. I ended up coming back on the Monday night.

So far, I’ve done 2, out of my 7, mid terms: Calculus(MATH 137) and Algebra(MATH 135) #1 (I have two each for those classes).
All I’ve got to say is… most of us found our mid-term easier than our assignments. Which, in general, is a relatively good thing! There were, of course, a few tricky questions out to get us all, but in the end, we did what we had to do. We were definatly given enough time; so essentially, most of us finished all the questions.

Res Council… sooo much fun! Being an event leader is awesome! I’m in charge of Halloween Events. The things we’re setting up are: Dress your Don, Door Decorating Contest, Movie Night, Food Drive, Haunted House, and Bomber All Ages Costume Party! It’s going to be awesome! So for all you current students… you guys have got to come! It’s going to be a lot of fun! There are prizes and everything.

Anywho, that’s my update on life here at UW.

See you all soon!

P.S- Campus Rec classes are awesome! They keep me so sane during the stressful times (a hem… right now).

Mid-Terms

And so it begins… my first mid-terms at University. I got 6 mid terms coming up.

My first one will be Calculus on Tuesday, October 10th. I can’t even enjoy my Thanksgiving at home. Oh well.
I’ve got about 2 mid-terms a week for the next month. They are usually during the beginning and end of the week. So at least I get ample time for study time in between. I, of course, will be stressing, but who doesn’t?! haha
Well I wish everyone well on their mid-terms and make sure you all get enough sleep (if only I listened to my own advice!)!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! I’m back to studying…

My weekend!

Hey everyone!
So this weekend was very fun. But let’s start from thursday…

Thursday: pulled my first allnighter. In short: NEVER DO IT! haha It was a horrible experience. Just… don’t do it - trust me.

Friday: after a lot of sleep to catch up on, I start not to feel very well. So I go back to bed. Then I woke up and I was really hungry, so my friend and I went for some CAMPUS PIZZA! That pizza is very good. Very addicting!

Saturday: Okay. This was my favorite day! So I am a part of the Executive Residence Council. My position is an Event Leader. We basically help organize and set up events and such. We had our ‘retreat’ on Saturday and it was awesome!
A lot of things were happening on Saturday. I was a touch disappointed that I couldn’t go to everything, but I think the Residence Council retreat was worth it! There was Homecoming (football: Waterloo vs Laurier) and the UW Expo was here.

Sunday: Well, Sunday hasn’t started yet. However, I already know what I’m going to do: work! I have to work on Algebra, Accounting, and Computer Science. I found out my mid term schedule and its quite brutal!
I have 6 mid terms… Algebra has 2. *sigh* Oh well!
Well that’s my weekend! See you all later!

Come back soon!
