It was fun to listen to someone I can connect with. She joked of weight, and kids, and grinding teeth – which my boyfriend discovered I do. She was truly a delight and I would love to see more comedians. They light up the mood anytime of the year here at Stevenson. And even though there aren’t alot of them, when they come it is always a blast! I haven’t missed one yet!
Growing and Learning As A Community November 11, 2008
Posted by Marina in : Informational Events , add a commentIt’s no question that after the presidential election more issues arose within all different communities. Race, sadly, has become one of the major issues that America has struggled with for centuries and is now an issue with our soon to be president, Barack Obama.
But instead of running away from the issue and hiding from it, SU decided to do something about. We’re all about making everyone feel comfortable, always. So today in the Rockland banquet room from 4-6, the community held a town hall meeting with a very special lady. Bonnie King Taylor deals with issues of race in communities, and took time out of her busy life to come and bring the SU community together. She spoke of ways to handle it and how one shouldn’t hide from it. She was remarkable.
I think anyone and everyone who attended the meeting truly benefited from it and it opened up some curious minds.
Next up on the schedule is a comedian, which are totally my fave!
Schedule Stressing. November 11, 2008
Posted by Marina in : General , add a commentBy the end of today – the entire freshman class will have registered for their Spring 2009 semester courses.
Talk about stressful. I stalked my computer for a half an hour before my registration time, just to make sure I’d get into what I wanted. Beleive it or not – this process is SOOOOOOO stressful! My friend Maria was sitting in her room watching to see if this one class would fill before her time. She really needed the class, and with one minute left – that last spot was taken. And although it’s a bummer, there are ways to make your schedule work for you. Mine (luckily) had no bumps in the road and it took me about 3 minutes to register 
Now, while registering in the summer – this was not the case. I ended up getting none of the classes that I wanted – but in the end, I have an AWESOME schedule and I’m glad I slept in or whatever I was doing that day. Which is another point – don’t miss your registration time!!! eeek! I learned that the very very hard way, when nothing was left for me to choose from. Yeah – now that was stressful!
But everything works out in the end – so don’t stress out SU!
