"Snow much fun!"

It has been a crazy week! We had a holiday off from school on Monday and special activities for Martin Luther King Jr. day were held. Then, we got snow on Tuesday!!!! It was so exciting because we hardly ever get snow here! Our classes were not cancelled, but at least we don't have to make up a day! Obama's inauguration was on Tuesday as well. There were places on campus in which you could go watch it if you didn't have class.
Anyway, we just finished the second week of school. Everyone is still trying to get back into the swing of things like being on a schedule and getting homework done. There are many things to look forward to for this semester. Dad's Night, Follies, Fun Day, Spring Formal, and for the seniors: graduation. I hope that everyone is doing well!

Back to School

Today was the first day of classes for the spring semester. Everyone is trying to make sure that they have the right books and that they know where to go. Some people are trying to figure out whether they want to drop a class or not. The stress of school is starting to come back, even though it's the first day. Professors always give a tentative class schedule so that you can know when projects are due, homework assignments, and test days. Seeing that schedule can be very overwhelming. In order for me not to get too overwhelmed, I have to take it one day at a time. It's also good to have someone to talk to. It really helps your stress go down. Reading these blogs may make you think that college is going to be extremely difficult. Well, to be honest, college is difficult and stressful, but it is also fun and exciting. There are also so many resources on campus to help you through it. Trust me, you can do it!
We found out today that Captain Sorell, who was part of our wonderful police staff, passed away on Monday and Mr. Oberly, who was a beloved math teacher, passed away this morning. It was shocking to hear that these men passed away. We will all miss them.
