2nd Semester Starts Up

So I had a great Christmas and I received pretty much everything I wanted. The break was alright, and it was really good to see some friends; however, I was ready to come back and start school again. It's good to be back in school and to see everybody again. Getting settled in and now ready to have another great semester.

I am getting started on my new classes: Public Speaking, Macroeconomics, Management Principles, and Marketing Principles. Hopefully before I know it, February break will be here. I think I learned a lot my first semester and will be able to manage my time better. This will help with my stress by getting work done before the due date, instead of procrastinating which I've done some in the past. I really like the way-as of now-that I've set up my schedule. I attend classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (50 min. classes) from 9 a.m. to 11 and than one class at 1 p.m. Then Tuesday and Thursdays I just have class ( 75 min. classes) at 10:50 a.m. so am out by 12:05 p.m. I enjoy having 50 minute classes more since they're shorter and really like being able to sleep in til around 10:30 on those Tuesdays and Thursdays.

On Monday evening we had our 1st Annual Fanfest. There was a great crowd, and the first 200 students received a TC Terrible Towel. It started off by having a faculty vs student athletes game. It was an interesting game, surprisingly the faculty did have some skill and were able to pull out with the win. Then athletes' from each sports team mentioned about how their season either went, is going, or will go this year. After there was a game between two of the older intramural basketball teams. I am on one of the teams actually-the Sonia's-and our team came up with a solid win. We have a great team, and should win the championship; the Sonia's have won the last three intramural championships, so I've heard. We are hoping to make it a 4 straight this year. During halftimes of these games and between the games, there was competitions such as foul shooting and three pointers. It was a great success and it will hopefully be the 1st of many future Fanfest events at Thomas College.
