This is Johnny the Cougar standing in front of Mirror Lake, on Saturday Campus Visit Day. It was cold and obviously foggy that day. That was a lot of fun also Johnny played frisby and chilled with the interested students and the faculty in some cases. He also took a tour, and seemed to have a lot of fun. I think this is my favorite picture I took in a long time.
Today I came into work, and had a great big tour we had more than 30 people. It was crazy but it was fun we took two tour guides and were able to tag team the tour it really was quite a lot of fun. They were very interactive and had a lot of good questions it was really interesting, they also wanted to take a picture with the two guides and them, I will add the picture later when I recieve it. We really had a great time. It was kind of wierd though trying to get 37 people into some of the buildings and rooms. It also was kind of fun trying to talk over everyone. They were a great group and I would like to see all of them on campus in the future.
This was an effort to raise awareness of the needy. A couple of organiztions and Residential Halls built houses out of cardboard and manned their “houses” from 8 am to 8 pm, and while doing this they were collecting jackets and some other needs for the needy. It was a really neat experience to see the students taking part in this.
From the third floor of Clare Hall we look down and see the stadium great place for football fans who do not want to get cold down in the stands. From here it looks like somone lost a contact, do you think they will ever find it. The other team might be able to while they are down on the ground after a tackle from our Cougars GO COUGARS.
I just thought this was an interesting picture as it was taken from the third floor of Clare and it is just a great view of the stadium. That is Bishop D’Arcy Stadium.
Today I was a part of a training for Student Leaders, this training was both relaxing and educational. There was a lot of hands on activities, that helped us to learn how to be able to lead our fellow students, but also how to work as a team. Included in this were different ways to manage stress, work as a team, and to see the big game but not only to see the big game but to be able to figure out how to act in the big game. It was a great way to learn to manage goals and to set goals. This was an excellent opportunity for me as a Peer Minister and an Ambassador. I feel like I got a lot out of the leadership training day.
beautiful lake
I took this picture today, I get to see this beautiful scene everyday. It really makes me appreciate the beauty that God gives us. I noticed today that we have a lot of scenes like this that are so beautiful I would like to take more to time o thank God for this opportunity.
This picture was taken from in front of Pope John Paul II looking toward the stadium the picture does not do justice for the American Flag which is right there on the opposite side of the lake right in front of the football stadium which is there in the background.
One day I was in my Nursing class and we were talking about a paper that is due in a couple of weeks and how to access the databases from the library website. I had already been on and found a couple of articles I wanted my teacher to approve, so I pulled out my laptop and was trying to log in to the library website to access these articles and sitting in the classroom on campus, I kept getting an error message saying that I could not access the website. This is not right I am on campus and using wireless technology but cannot access the website. So I used the text a librarian and notified them of my problem and they texted me back saying they would look into it. I went over to the library on our break to show them the problem and we were able to get it figured out. Crisis averted, now I can access these databases from anywhere. Good job librarians. The text a librarian feature of our library really was a great thing.
Had a dinner on Tuesday honoring the 21st Century Scholars. An opportunity to discuss the great opportunity of going to USF with a great group of high school seniors, also discussed the accomplishments that the students had been able to go through in high school I found it amazing how much high schools have grown since I graduated they all seem to have greater numbers in the classes. It was also an opportunity to meet a couple of the other ambassadors. The funny thing though is that after the dinner we were tearing things down and I had to run some things out to my and it started to rain cats and dogs, 2 days in a row of really hard rain and I was in the middle of both of them.
On Sunday Sept. 20 the Campus Ministry had Matt Maher come here to USF, it was such an awesome experience, I have been able to see him before, but this was way better than ever before, his music is so touching, I definitly want to get his new cd which came out on Tuesday. I am looking forward to more concerts to come. I started the evening off directing traffic, I was able to see a lot of my friends, and get a good idea of who all had come. Upon entering North Campus I was able to see more friends, and sat with a few friends I do not get to see very often anymore. Some of Frankie and the Holy Rollers were there. They did not perform but I was able to see them. Matt Maher sang wonderfully and sang quite a few of his songs. We had such an awesome way to perform praise and worship. It was a really wonderful evening filled with friends and fellowship. I cannot wait to see if we get him to come back again.
