Busy Sunday

Hello All!

The sun is shinning, intramural softball has begun, and so has 6 weeks of classes. It is Term III. My class is going good and we even had a field trip on Friday to a nature center and some local parks for Representing American Landscape. I will have to attach some photographs that I am proud of! Everything is going smoothly.

As I type the Red Sox-Yankees game is tied, so hopefully the Sox's get some hits soon! Anyway softball has ended with a win for our last game. It was a perfect final inning too with amazing catches. Although we did not make Empire 8's this season, next year looks very promising. We'll miss our four seniors :( .

Volleyball spring season has taken way again and it is great to be on the court. This weekend was a Junior Open House and Admitted Student Day with perfect weather. As you passed Hamilton Hall you would have been able to see purple and gold tent and all the daffodils opening! The temperature reached the high eighties!

Speaking of nice weather today was perfect for our Women's Lacrosse team on their senior game day. They beat Hartwick in overtime.

Alright off to read a few articles...and sadly the game is still 0-0.

Term II Great Success!

Hey There!

Right now I am sitting home on my couch checking my grades on Angel. This week is Elmira's Spring Break. We have a couple days off from softball, so back to Rochester I went. Yesterday to celebrate Easter the whole family came over. Home cooked food and being surrounded by loved ones makes it a perfect break.

Everyone's family is different. Yesterday I caught myself wondering "wow if someone walked into my house and saw 30+ family members waving in front of a computer screen would they find us weird?"

I'll explain. . . some of our family is in Florida, so using Skype we were able to see our family members, but the volume was not working on our end. For about 45 minutes we all just smiled and waved at each other, occasionally talking very loudly in hopes to hear one another. In the end it worked out, after lots of loud talking mostly from my Nonna (grandmother) in Italian and a few volume controls on the MAC we were able to celebrate together! It was great to have a little one running around the house. The newest edition is little Adam. He loved picking up Easter eggs, rubber ducks from the bathroom, any fruit, and astonished by the refrigerator and my cat snowball. Snowball stayed in one room throughout the day, so Adam meowed at every closed door asking "Meow?" hoping someone would let him into the room where snowball was. He is so cute!

Although it was in the 40's for the temperature, we still had an egg hunt. Yes, I was too old to participate, so I took pictures!

Tomorrow is back to EC for me. Term III begins April 20th! The 6 credits I chose to take is Representing American Landscaping! After a few years of hearing how exciting this class is I wanted to take it too! It counts for 3 Creative Processes and 3 U.S. Aside from class rehearsals for the production Nine will consume the evenings.

Well I hope you have a wonderful day!
