We want a Mountain Day!

Last night included rolling in mud, painting, singing, and jumping. Why? Well it was the first night of Mountain Day singing. The theme was TV Shows for your floor. The ideas we had were America's Next Top Model and Survivor. As you can probably guess we went with Survivor. Our outfits consisted of mangled t-shirts, rags, and leggings to keep warm. Our cheer was to the song I will Survive. Although we did not win for best Floor, we still took a lot of pictures and had a blast. The rain held off and the sun even came out while we were getting ready. Sadly following I had to study for a physics test and most of the girls on my floor had to finish a paper for college composition. Keeping my optimistic behavior tonight maybe the night to give us a Mountain Day tomorrow! The theme is Togas for class year. So lets go 2011's!!!

Over the weekend on campus was Octagon Fair, where clubs and organizations set up booths to get the community aware of activities and build a relationship. I heard it went really well despite the unanticipated fall weather. Along with Octagon Fair the Men's Varsity Soccer added another win to their season. For volleyball this weekend we had our first Empire 8 Tournament of the year and went 2-2. The last two matches were very close in the final sets. Looking on to next week we have a tournament at Fredonia and we are very eager to keep playing aggressively. Aside from athletics and Mountain Day the Elmira Chiclet's held auditions for their acapella group. I can not wait to hear them preform!

Academically I had my first 3D class today. Organic Chemistry and 3D glasses who knew! We looked at the chiral structures and placed priorities by our professor rotating them on the board, so we could see in 3 dimensions how it would actually look. Too bad for tests we won't be able to do that. Physics we worked on projectile motion last week and launched small objects knowing the angle, finding the distance, and calculated the velocity.

Anyway I will post some pictures from our first night of Mountain Day!
I'll let you know when the day is granted!

Junior Year

Hello All!

Summer flew by! Already another academic year beings. So let me fill you in. The class of 2013 already went through Fall Orientation and learned their class cheer, which I maybe slightly jealous of. Along with Fall Orientation their College Composition Course has been keeping them busy along with the annual Foam Dance party. I got the joy of watching my residents come running back covered in foam and others coming back dripping wet because they jumped in the fountain. Good times...good times.

Being a Resident Assistant in Anderson Hall, Freshman class, is quiet different from upperclassmen last year. They are full of energy and very excited about the year. Already we had the most people out of all the underclassmen dormitories attend phone-athon. Mountain Day with them is going to be big, one of the college's many traditions where every night is a different theme that you dress for and sing outside our Presidents Home to sing in hopes of a Mountain Day. Once given, Mountain Day is a day off from classes and full of free food and games.

To keep filling you in this weekend for volleyball we won our home tournament. The tournament was with three other schools and was a Dig Pink event meaning we raised money for breast cancer. Everything was pink...even our volleyballs. The color pink is not my favorite color, actually my least, but I decked out in pink for the cause. This season looks very promising and I can not wait to see us go very far. This weekend coming up is the Plattsburgh Tournament, so I will keep you posted. There we play St. Lawrence, St. Joseph, and Buffalo. Aside from volleyball winning our Men's and Women's soccer also had a victorious weekend. Congrats!

The first week of class is under our belts. For myself it has been full of physics and organic chemistry. All my professors are amazing and so eager to give assistance.

Have a great week and feel free to ask questions!
