Happy Halloween everyone!!
Things here at Syracuse are finally calming down after midterms are over. It was stressful but I think I did alright! It snowed yesterday! I couldn't believe it! And what's even weirder is that it's sunny and warm today and tomorrow! This weather is just ridiculous! So the halloween festivities are going to be fun! I hope I get some trick or treaters! Since I live on South Campus there is a good chance I might get some kids coming around to all the apartments! It's also Parents' weekend! My parents aren't coming up but my roommate's are! Parents' weekend is always fun! There are a lot of activities on the quad for students and parents to partake in! Well I hope you all have a spectacular halloween! bye!

Hello Again everyone!
Its midterm week here at Syracuse! Its been so busy lately with all our projects being due. We are on the last step of our interior design projects and we're finally starting to make our abstract models into inhabitable spaces. My sculpture project is also due soon. Its amazing how quickly you learn and get comfortable with different media. I had never worked in metals before so I was intimidated to use the large power tools and fire equipment that are in the metals shop. However, now after working on my project I feel like I am finally comfortable with them and can move into really exploring their different effects and interesting ways of manipulating their capabilities.
My roommate and I took a day trip last saturday to get away from all the stress of midterms. It was beautiful fall weather so we checked out some of the other attractions of the Syracuse area instead of just the campus. We went to Greenlakes state park and it was absolutely beautiful. The lakes are a strong turquois color that contrasts well with the yellows and oranges of fall right now. It was so nice to take a walk around the lakes and just relax for a few hours! Syracuse has such a beautiful area around the city! I'm glad we took the time to explore it.

HellO!
Well it seems like every one is going home for the holidays this weekend. We don't have class on Thursday and many people don't have class on Friday either! Its a perfect time to go home and get some rest. Besides that not much else is new here at Syracuse! Im still working on the same projects as the beginning of the year, we just keep on expanding and improving on them. It seems like once you think you are finished they have another step to add! I kind of like it that way though because you become very attached to your ideas and your project and it forces you to think outside the box and keep coming up with completely new ways of looking at something.
It is officially fall here, the leaves are all changed and its usually in the 50s or 60s during the day. I always love this time of year though. Everything is always so colorful, and bright. Especially on the quad with all the leaves on the grass. I think I'm going apple picking this weekend actually! Since I'm not going home this weekend it will be a great way to relax and explore the Syracuse area more than just whats on campus. Well I will talk to you later! bye!

Hello again everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well and progressing in their college search! Things here at Syracuse are pretty much the same as usual. There was a blockparty for south campus last weekend which was pretty fun. They had activities and free food held at Goldstein for all South Campus residents. I've decided living on South Campus is actually a really good idea and I'm really happy I decided to spend my sophomore year there! I love having my own apartment with my own kitchen and livingroom.. and bathroom! Having neighbors and other residents close by but not constantly around like in a dorm is also really fun but relaxing at the same time. I feel so grown up living in my own space! Goldstein is actually really nice too. Its not very far from my apartment building and it pretty much has everything you need. It has a store, gym, laundry, dining hall, offices, and just a general place to hang out. And the best part about it is that students really do hang out there! There are pool tables eating areas some of those really plush couches, and a huge flat screen. I like it, its definitely a perk for south campus. Its great to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of main campus for a while and just chill out. Well I must go but I will write again soon!
