A few weeks ago everyone received housing lottery cards. Which color card you got depended on the amount of credits each person has at the end of the Fall semester. Most future sophomores received a blue card because they have a lower amount of credits than the aspiring juniors, who attain green cards. Luckily, one of my suitemates had 30 credits, which is enough to have junior status. Our group had eight blue cards and one green card. This means that we go before the groups that consist of all the soon-to-be sophomores, but we go after groups that have two or three juniors.

This past weekend my roommate went home and I hung out with my friends. I wasn’t too happy last Friday due to the fact my parents and my brother left to go to Cancun. Apparently, they couldn’t plan their vacation around my schedule or wait until the summer. I get to stay in beautiful, chilly Syracuse while my brother texts me, bragging how much warmer it is in Cancun. However, if I did miss a week here, I wouldn’t be able to catch up before the end of the semester.

Halfway through the second semester with more school work than I know what to do with, I’m still happy with my college decision. The small school community of Le Moyne still has more benefits than hindrances. I believe the size of the school is a huge advantage. This semester my classes have gotten smaller, but that only means I am able to build a stronger relationship with my professors. Initially, I was very skeptical about being in an all -male dorm, but my entire floor has become very close this semester.

Possible future students of LeMoyne College are able to spend the night with a current student to get a feel of the campus and academic life before they make a commitment. Last week a student from the Rochester area shadowed my roommate. I personally didn’t take advantage of this opportunity when I was a senior in high school, but this experience can easily help an aspiring college student  choose the right school.

Super bowl weekend was a couple days of intense anticipation and extreme tension between rival fans. Fighting gestures and words were passed to opposing fans. Patriot fans were fairly confident with their dominant season, and not too worried about Eli Manning and the Giants. Giants fans had faith in their team, but were not completely sure of the outcome. All through Saturday the insults continued. When the Sunday sun punted the Saturday moon, all was quiet. This was the quiet before the storm.

This semester my classes are the same. It is just the second half each course that I took in the fall. My only class that is different is religion with Rev. Makuja. It is a very interesting class, as well as, a fairly easy class to get out of the way early in my academic career at Le Moyne. Although my classes are generally the same, I have brand new teachers with the exception of physics. Personally, I believe new teachers can enhance learning because of their very different teaching techniques.

            People everywhere are excited for this time of year for many reasons. Children are anxiously waiting for Santa Claus to come; giving them all their desired presents. Parents are thrilled to see their wallets and purses empty… not so much. For college students at LeMoyne this time of year is when it gets harder to get out of bed to walk to class. Ultimately, this is the time of year when finals loom over the campus causing regretful thoughts such as, “I should have studied.” Luckily, after the finals the smoke clears and students are able to go home to their families.

           November 17th was an extra-special day for me. After nineteen years of giving her and my dad a tough time, they came to see me on my birthday! My family had planned to come up and take me out to eat and hang out in Syracuse. The night before my birthday, my friends and I went to Applebee’s to celebrate.

         Le Moyne is located in Dewitt, New York. Dewitt is a small town directly outside the City of Syracuse. Throughout the academic year, Le Moyne provides transportation to several attractions, and school sponsored events.  On weekends there are shuttles that take students downtown as well as to local malls. Le Moyne has a quaint campus and the buildings are fairly close together. Some buildings are further away than others, but only by a couple of minutes.
