Hello!
Finals are approaching quickly, and I can't believe I'm basically halfway done with my sophomore year. Crazy! This past month has been particularly busy, which is why I'm going to share all of the wonderful things that have gone on! Here we go...
Nov. 6- Class registration for next semester!
It's like The Hunger Games, only worse! (Well, maybe not) But hey, at least for this upcoming semester, I was lucky enough to get all 4 classes that I wanted.
Nov. 6- Working at the Burlington Free Press for election night (see previous post for details)
Early November- Homelessness & Hunger awareness- "the shack"
Students signed up through MOVE (Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts) to stay for an hour or overnight in the "shack," located in the middle of the lawn between the academic buildings and Alliot.
Nov. 10- International Festival & writing my second article for The Defender
The 9th annual International Festival, hosted by the Diversity Coalition, brought a vast array of food and dance from other cultures for St. Michael's students and the community to enjoy right on campus.
Click here to read my article on The Defender website about the festival.
Thanksgiving dinner in Alliot is a St. Mike's tradition! For "normal" eaters, turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes are a favorite. For me (a vegan), there were sweet potatoes, butternut squash, rice & seitan, and corn!
Late November- SNOW! & decorating for Christmas/listening to Christmas music.

| The first real snowy day at SMC this year! |

| Lights in my dorm room! |
Put on by the Ski & Snowboard Club, Jibfest is an event where SMC students can show off their rail jam skills...right in the middle of the 300's field! Student volunteers worked all day to set up the site with rails, boxes, locally sourced snow, etc. And of course, there was a lot of food, music, and awesome people to watch during the event!
Now- Preparing for finals
Self-explanatory. We're studying like crazy over here!

-Alliot Christmas dinner on Dec. 6!
