Having 4th graders bring you Valentine cards seriously could make one’s life. It made mine.
Today I went to an elementary school where I teach some of the sweetest childen in the world. We had only been in their classroom for 2 days and they thought to bring two fellow teachers and me Valentines. They even gave me a Valentine that was meant for someone else. I mean, it actually had someone else’s name on it. (more…)

I’ll be honest; I thought the first week of school as a freshman was going to be the scariest thing in the world.
It was my first time away from home and I was scared I was going to be sitting alone in my room.
Only one other person from my school came to Concordia last year and I was scared that I would not adjust well and that I would not find my niche.
Much to my relief, I was very wrong. Concordia is so warm and inviting that you actually have to try to not make friends. I found an amazing group of friends within the first two weeks of school! (more…)

It’s getting closer to one of the two busiest weeks of the semester. Guess what, its finals week… YAY!
Last semester being exposed to the finals system for the first time, I wasn’t quite sure what I needed to do, to be prepared.
But this time I am all set. I’ve started studying and working on my papers a week ahead (that doesn’t happen often).
Finals in college aren’t like the ones in high school. They actually need to be studied for… ahead of time. (more…)

A ball whizzed past my head and I jumped over another one. As I bent to pick up a lonely rounded projectile my last teammate was eliminated, I was the last one in the game.
Soon I found myself backpedaling when suddenly a ball came out of nowhere and struck me in the chest. I was out and the game was over. But the day was not over; there was still a lot of dodgeball to be played.
This past Saturday Olsen Forum at Concordia turned into dodgeball mania. The Students in Free Enterprise hosted the 2nd annual Dodgeball tournament. (more…)

This past weekend was one of the best weekends ever! One of my friends who used to go here, Alicia Monson, and her girlfriend, Gwyn, came down from St. Cloud this weekend to visit me and see our amazing friend Marit Geston in The Miracle Worker.
Even though I was really tired that weekend from a long week, I had sooo much fun! We ordered pizza, played Jenga, and watched a movie, made breakfast twice, played guitars at Maurgarite’s Music, saw Apocalypto at Safari, ate dinner at The Norm, saw the play, and went to the band home concert all in one weekend!
