Happy March!
Wow! I can’t believe it is already March!!! That is crazy!!! Well to recap on my weekend, I have to start with snowshoeing! It was sooooooo insanely fun! Snowshoes definitely were not what I was thinking they were going to be. I was picturing old tennis racket type things, but these were legit! Like my teacher said, they are like giant flip flops. We played “ultaball” while wearing them. It was like ultimate frisbee but with a ball instead. Note to self: running backwards in snowshoes is nearly impossible and may result in snow down your pants. I can’t wait to do it again!
Let’s see, what else… well, a lot of my friends who graduated came up this weekend. That was a nice little reunion. I just wish that I didn’t have so much work to do but that’s over with now! Sunday was the Honors Convention. In the past, all the honor societies would just have their own convention, but this year they decided to have them all on sunday with a general reception inbetween. I actually really liked it. I wasn’t getting inducted into the English Honors Society, but I was there to support to newbies. I wish I could have attented Psi Chi, the Psychology Honors Society, because I am also a member of that but I had a conflict with the time. My view on honors societies is that it is really a gift for yourself to commit the time to be a part of an honors society if you have the grades and the passion. If you are putting so much time into a subject for it to be your major, then why not treat yourself to knowing that you put in that little extra and was able to have an honors certificate and cords at graduation (and it is a great way to just get involved on campus) I love my English honors society… we do such fun things!
I just got out of my MVP (Mentors in Violence Prevention) meeting. We just talked about upcoming programs that we are doing in classrooms and also about the “Walk A Mile in Her Shoes” event on April 12th. It is such an amazing walk that is being sponsored by a number of organizations around Keene. The focus is to have men (but women are of course welcomed and encouraged) to come wearing a pair of women’s heals, or shoes, and to walk the mile down main street in them. It is to raise money to end sexual violence. There will be prizes awarded to teams who raise the most money and for the best pair of heals worn. I wish I could go this year, but I have my Holloway RA staff retreat. That of course will be a blast, but I wish I could be a part of this too. You can only do so much though!
Well I am off to do some reading before our “Spring Break Safety” social!
tootles!
