Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! I somewhat enjoy this holiday I like seeing how creative people get when picking out their costumes and seeing unique funny ones that I would have never thought of. It's always nice to see everyone walking around in different outfits with bright colors and over the top wardrobes and all the candy that's around is always a plus! I hope everyone has a safe day and enjoys their day.

Campus Safety

With what happened on Tuesday with the suspicious package on campus, I've thought to myself do we really have the proper way to notify students or faculty of an emergency? I say this because I was in class while the situation took place and the only way I found out what was going on was through a text message I received on my phone and also a phone call. Now this doesn't really help because some professors don't want you to look at your phone during class or even have it out. Other students in class received the notification through email and again checked it on their phone. Now this is not really safe because what if this was a class where we could not check our phones we would have been there not knowing what was going on right outside the building (our class is in Feinberg near the computer lab). What I think should be done for emergency notifications in the future is a phone call to the classroom or something to notify the professors so that they can notify the students. I say notify the professors because my professor had no idea what was going on, we had to stop him mid sentence to tell him we had to evacuate the building. The text messages, phone calls and emails are great ways of notifying people of emergencies, but it doesn't always work out to be the best solution to our problems because cell phones do lose service and do die. I just wonder what could be done to better announce emergencies in the future.

Next Semester!

I am pretty excited for next semester considering it is my last semester and I will only be taking about 1-2 classes plus senior seminar, my independent study and possibly continuing my practicum. I am ready to have a good final semester full of things that I really want to do. I don't know what I am going to do next semester when I don't have any homework or work, but I am sure I will figure something out. I look forward to graduation day and am ready for it I think. I am not sure what I am going to do after graduation, but I'm sure in time everything will come to me and all will fall into place.

Being Home

So I've been home in New York City this weekend and it does feel good to be home and see my family, but I do miss being home in Plattsburgh with my dogs. I miss waking up to them and just doing my usually things around the house. I got so used to living on my own in Plattsburgh and having my own space that I don't know what I am going to do after next semester! I am ready to graduate and start job hunting, but I am not ready to come back home and start the search for real. It is more easier said than done for sure.

Being Responsible

This is just a random post about being responsible for your actions. What you do does affect yourself and others around you. I recently learned this over the past couple of days. It did teach me a lesson and I now feel that I know better and have grown from my mistakes. I definitely learned to think before doing or saying anything. 

Columbus Break?

So it's supposed to be Columbus break, but I don't necessarily have a break since I have to work every single day (except Tuesday!) I am just glad I don't have to go straight to class right after the break and have Tuesday off. It's been a pretty decent break and I can't wait to go home next weekend. I hope everyone is enjoying their break though!

The Semester is Almost Over!

This semester is going by so fast we are already almost half way done with it and I don't know where time has gone. I feel like I have done so much yet so little at the same time. Only having classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and working every other day has really helped with this semester going by so fast. I am just hoping that at the end of it all I have the grades that I want and have a good final semester, next semester.

Bob's Burgers

So I just started watching Bob's Burgers recently cause I've heard people talk about it so I figured I might as well check it out and I really like it! I think it is such a funny show and I recommend it to anyone to watch if you want a good laugh this weekend.
