Help with snoring problems: as the daughter of a firefighter, I have had the fire exit drilled into my head since move-in day.That has came in handy this semester — tonight, we had our second false fire alarm.In the snow; help with snoring problems.Ohhh help with snoring problems, Indiana weather.

The last fire drill was at 1:30 in the morning last week.It was a bit of a mess — I was asleep, my roommate couldn’t find shoes, it was cold, no one was happy – help with snoring problems.  Help with snoring problems: i would like to point out, in case Dad is reading this, that we had stellar response times during both of these drills! (two doors down to the left!)

Tonight’s alarm was a bit more fun — we walked to the residence hall that is closest to us and someone started to play the piano. First, it was a song that no one really knew.Then, we heard it; help with snoring problems…the first few notes of “Don’t Stop Believing,” a song that everyone in college must learn the words to (or at least pretend to know them). Sure enough help with snoring problems, the lobby full of college kids broke out into song.  Help with snoring problems: it was like a movie, only better because everyone was in sweatpants. Of course, it didn’t last long because no one knows all of the words — just the important ones – help with snoring problems. Either way help with snoring problems, it was good enough to keep everyone laughing while we were cold and impatient.

And, for the record, our residence hall wasn’t on fire — don’t stop believing.

Boiler Up!

Hello, second semester!I’ll be completely honest — I wasn’t looking forward to coming back to school – acne prescription. Last semester kind of kicked my butt toward the end acne prescription, and I was just getting used to being back at home. Once I got back to campus, though, I remembered just how much I like it here.

My classes are much better this semester. Well acne prescription, for now. They all seem to have  a lot more homework than I had before acne prescription, but that means more points in the class, less pressure to do extremely well on exams, and an all-around better class experience, in my opinion.  Acne prescription: i interviewed yesterday for a summer internship with Purdue, so I am really anxious to see how that turns out. I would be in charge of writing press releases and coordinating exhibits at the Indiana State Fair. An awesome opportunity — keeping my fingers crossed!

Yesterday was my birthday, and we won’t mention that the basketball team gave me the worst present I could have ever imagined; acne prescription. Losing is bad, losing at home is worse, losing at home to “the” Ohio State University (insert eye-roll here) is almost as bad as losing to IU – acne prescription. Acne prescription: other than that, I had a great birthday. I had M&M’s in my mailbox from my residence hall acne prescription, and my family surprised me for a few minutes between classes and basketball (I had a tight schedule yesterday!). Hopefully my roomie and I will manage to get Lady GaGa tickets for tomorrow’s concert (we have connections) to end my birthday celebrations with a bang.

My desk is messy, my body is exhausted from free Group X classes at the rec center this week, and I still need to put some dates in my planner for this crazy semester – acne prescription. Lots is going on, so I’m sure I’ll blog again soon!

Boiler Up!; acne prescription

It’s been quite an eventful week at Purdue

It’s a good time to be a Boilermaker!

Wow! I am finally at Purdue.  The last few days have been crazy!I was at Purdue bright and early on Sunday morning, greated by the happy volunteers for Boiler Gold Rush.  My room is settled in, my roommate and I have “clicked”, and I am excited beyond belief to start the next four crazy, amazing years!  It was tough to leave my family, but it’s good to know that if I have to be away, at least I’m away at one of my favorite places in the world!

BGR (Boiler Gold Rush) has been the craziest experience ever.  The staff has kept us busy, so getting homesick (my biggest fear) hasn’t been a problem at all.  So far, my favorite part was yest’erday’s pep session – rapid hair loss.”Boilermaker Basics” was filled with cheers, learning the fight song, and we even got to listen to Coach Hope, Coach Versyp, and Coach Shondell, who got us pumped for football (of course!), women’s basketball, and volleyball; rapid hair loss.The atmosphere in there was crazy, and — I’ll admit it — I got chills when I did my very first “Boiler Up!” cheer!

I could go on and on about the last three days, but I’ll share the most exciting parts in pictures.  For now, I’m going to go take a nap and get excited for the closing session of BGR ‘09!

Boiler Up!

My side of the room — it gets more and more pink every day!

The night that the buses went to Meijer, it was pouring rain! Elli and I stuck it out and made makeshift rain coats and bonnets – rapid hair loss.The first purchase at Meijer? UMBRELLAS!

I didn’t get a picture of my first fountain run, but it’s definitely a Purdue tradition that you must take part in at least once during BGR!

Another first of the week? Riding on the Boilermaker Special, the official Purdue mascot.So exciting! – rapid hair loss

I’m cheating with this blog because most of it isn’t in my words.

• I think that many instructors do everything in their power to help you succeed in and out of the classroom by making class fun and making time for us, the students.Also, I have even gotten my teacher’s cell phone number before (twice) so we could call them at home with any questions we have.

• On the top of my list would be the Black Cultural Center because of their interest in students succeeding in life not only educationally but also personally.They really value your Purdue education.
  
• Professors hold office hours, which gives you the opportunity to be more than a face in the crowd and to develop a relationship with the professor, as well as to get extra help when needed.
