Times Are A-changin’

Warmer weather with an average of 70 F, there are orange blossoms blooming everywhere and bees flying around them (with the help of our new bee hive at Carp.).

Time Flies

I cannot believe we are inside of five weeks to the end of the year! This year has literally flown by. I still feel like it was just yesterday I lugged my  bags into my white, empty room. Now my room is crammed full of photos, letters, every color imaginable… I have had a great more »

Spirit week!

Spirit week is here, yay!

Singing in the Spring. That is, Spring Sing

This year, I am one of three directors of the spring musical called the Spring Sing. The Spring Sing is a completely student-run production, with one faculty advisor, where we can perform anything we want!
