Last Thursday I had an hour-long conversation with my advisor, Joe Lucchesi of the Art History department, about life after graduation (since I’m a senior). Even saying that word gets my heart racing! I love new adventures, but there is something different this time! I am not worried about getting a job or eventually applying [...]
Hey everyone! This is my first blog! Very exciting. So today I went to the Chesapeake Shores Nursing Home which is a home for the elderly in town near the college. I get to go to the nursing home for credit for a 400 level psychology class. Today at the nursing home, I got to [...]
Today my political science class visited the seat of St. Mary’s County government in Leonardtown, MD, just a couple miles down the road from the college. The class, called State and Local Politics, focuses specifically on Maryland Politics. A key component of the class is to experience different forms of local government in action. So [...]
So next Wednesday has been deemed “St. Mary’s Day.” It may sound like a day to celebrate the beautiful river, or our facilities, but in reality, we have been given a day off of classes to participate in a campus-wide discussion about how to make St. Mary’s a better community. Cool, huh? It really goes [...]
I am currently writing a St. Mary’s Project, which is basically a senior level thesis about a topic of the student’s choice. These yearlong projects are mostly independent but are guided by a mentor. For my SMP I decided to mix both of my majors, art history and political science, and research arts education policy [...]
Intramural volleyball just got very intense! Tonight was the first round of the playoffs and our opponent team included 2 varsity volleyball players and 2 math professors. It was a very close match but, unfortunately, we lost. Our knees and hips are bruised, but our pride is not. The second round is tomorrow night so [...]
So, this is a moderately embarrassing admission, but last Friday my friends and I had a two hour lunch in the Great Room. And I enjoyed every second of it. This habit is two-fold; I love my friends and we all love the food in the Great Room. It started normally enough, meeting at 11:15, [...]
Over the weekend I traveled to New York City with my South African Literature class to see two Broadway productions. Both plays were written by Athol Fugard, a leading voice in South African theater, and were being revived in honor of his 80th birthday. The plays, “Blood Knot” and “The Road to Mecca” were incredibly [...]
This weekend was Relay for Life at St. Mary’s! It was so much fun. I was team Captain of the ODK Honor Society team. For our event fundraisers, we did purple hair streaks, sold purple gatorade and snacks, and did a raffle of a coffee and tea goods basket (our team color was purple). I [...]
I took pictures of Men’s basketball for school paper last week. Shooting sports is so much fun! I definitely think photography will be a hobby I continue throughout my life. I’ve always considered attempting freelance photography throughout grad school. Check out other Point News photos here!
