I've always heard the phrase "In like a lion, out like a lamb" and just figured that things will be rough for the start but then as we come near the end, things will be peaceful and Spring will be in bloom. I was curious what else was behind this phrase so I went on Google and just typed in the phrase. I came across a blog on USAtoday.com for these two men known as The Weather Guys. This is what they had said: "The phrase apparently has its origins with the constellations Leo, the lion, and Aries, the ram or lamb. It has to do with the relative positions of these constellations in the sky at the beginning and end of the month." (Bob Swanson and Doyle Rice) Pretty interesting and cool! I find the whole constellation and astrology aspect fascinating! I always end up checking out my horoscope no matter what stories I hear about them being a waste of time! I find them helpful at times!
Anyways, here are some pictures I took out in the snow today before my mother and I shoveled and snow blew the driveway. I love the snow when it first falls, but then after the trucks have started plowing, it gets all brown and gross looking! Now I just want it to melt!!
Anyways, I have been pretty busy these past couple of weeks. The end of the quarter is soon approaching so I have been finishing up work and working on my research paper. I have decided to write my paper on Breast Cancer with a focus on detection, prevention, and treatments. It's a huge topic and very important to learn about. I've been learning some new facts, which is always exciting!
For the past week and a half, I have been in contact with Nancy Drepaul, who is the SGA President on the Garret Mountain Campus. We have been trying to set up a meeting with one another, but its been hectic for us both. The SGA meetings are held Monday's at 3:30 P.M in the Community Room, and all are welcome to attend. I unfortunately can not attend on Monday's, but Nancy has informed me that she has scheduled a second meeting on Thursday's from 1:30PM until 2:30PM in the Student Center!
I presented to Nancy an idea to work with The Children's Miracle Network, in hope to bring our students together in some fundraising efforts. Nancy has asked for me to write up my mission for this project and present it to everyone for their support and feedback. I have put an email out to a director that I previously worked with at the Children's Miracle Network to inform her that we would like to help out. I have not heard back from her just yet, but when I do, I hope this is something I can involve the students in.
I would also like to remind everyone that the last day to drop any courses is March 7. The 7th is a Saturday and not everyone is in on Saturday so your best bet is to get everything done by March 6th. You can either stop by Advisement or contact them through email which I will provide!
The Garret Mountain Campus Email: GMTAdvisement@berkeleycollege.edu
Be sure to include your name, ID#, Phone #, Course(s) you are dropping, and the faculty member's name.
For online students, contact the online advisement at the following email:
AdvisementOnline@berkeleycollege.edu
If you have any other questions, see advisement or email them directly!! Hope that was helpful!!!
Another thing I would like to bring up are the online clubs that are available. I recently joined SGA online to contribute my ideas. To access the clubs and enroll, click on the Community Tab on blackboard, and click the Clubs tab under Organization Catalog. You will see a list of clubs available and if you are interested in joining, click the enroll tab and introduce yourself on the discussion board!!
Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their snow day! Let's hope this was the last of it and Spring will come with nicer weather in about 3 weeks! YAY!
