<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This semester I'm taking a course in Public History - something that I'm interested in pursuing after graduation. EEP! With this class, we are using some of our time to actually visit museums, homesteads, historical sites, to actually look at the purpose they serve. Tuesday of last week, we made our way over to <a href="https://shelburnemuseum.org/" target="_blank">Shelburne Museum</a>, a short 15-20 minute drive from campus. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shelburne Museum is an unique space offered to Vermont. It uses buildings from all over New England, expanding time and space, to display exhibits and items of the time. This was my first visit to the museum, but you can guarantee I'll be back before I leave SMC! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Due to the season, only the <a href="http://shelburnemuseum.org/visit/planning-your-visit/pizzagalli-center-for-art-and-education/" target="_blank">Pizzagalli Center</a> was open. It is the center for art and education on the museum campus, allowing the museum to be open year round. We stopped by to see two exhibits in the center: <a href="http://shelburnemuseum.org/exhibitions/john-bisbee-new-blooms/" target="_blank">John Bisbee: New Blooms</a> and <a href="http://shelburnemuseum.org/exhibitions/supercool-glass/" target="_blank">Supercool Glass</a>. These exhibits are open until late May-early June so stop by and see them for yourself!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love being able to go out and experience any museums and the information they have within the walls.

Lucky enough, we got granted a day off last Friday! Since I don't have classes on Thursday, I decided to hop on the train home to spend some quality time with my parents and dogs. I was able to go to NYC with Saint Michael's Playhouse to observe auditions during the break.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was such a great experience - we saw over 130 people in one day! It helped me gain another idea of what I could do in the theatre world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another way to recharge during the semester that I like to do is going on retreat. I applied to go on the Emmaus retreat offered through Campus Ministry and got welcomed to go on the retreat last weekend! It was held at St. Anne's Shrine up at Isle La Motte - a beautiful retreat space of the Edmundites, complete with new cabins this year! If I could live there I would! It's a gorgeous space right on Lake Champlain and perfect for a retreat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend was filled with the method of Ignatian Contemplation and Spirituality for prayer - which I loved! Using scripture, meditation, songs, talks, and prayerful thoughts, it was a great way to reconnect with God and recharge myself for the last bit of this semester. I came off the retreat relaxed and rejuvenated, knowing that I could make time to work on my spiritual needs and having this new community to support me on my faith journey.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

What's great about Saint Mike's is that there are so many opportunities to pursue your faith. You don't have to be religious to participate, making all feel welcome to be as involved as you want to be. For me, this was an important part of my college experience and I can't imagine being anywhere else where I could explore my faith and have such wonderful Campus Ministry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today marks the start of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent for Christians. Campus Ministry puts out a blog of Lenten Reflections <a href="http://smclent.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">which you can see here</a>! Students, faculty, and staff come together to provide prayers for the season - a great collaborative effort!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What are you doing for Lent? Giving up Alliot fries? Girl Scout cookies? Being more proactive in your community by volunteering? This year I haven't decided what I'm doing, but I hope to use it as a reminder for the Lenten season!</span><br />

This means that I have a reduced meal plan, 40 swipes per semester to spend in Alliot or at Sloane on North Campus. So far I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is easy, delicious, and sometimes nutritious for me to eat!</span><div>

For me, one of those places is Kountry Kart Deli. The first time I went there was my first-year here at Saint Mike's and I fell in love with the Shiner. It's a combo of egg, cheese, choice of meat, on a bulkie roll toasted, with a hash brown. Just the thought of it makes me salivating! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most local businesses are on Facebook and it's a great way to keep tabs on what's new and happening around Burlington. I liked KKDs on Facebook and entered a contest to win free lunch for a year. </span></div>

I was lucky enough to be able to go to three plays, all that had to load-in and set up within one day and perform that night. It was crazy to see how fast everything came together. There was some beautiful craftsmenship on the sets as well. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first play we saw was <i>Painted Alice</i>, an Alice in Wonderland story about an artist who was having trouble finding out what art she was supposed to create. She ends up falling through her canvas and has marvelous experiences to discover her passion again. It was a creative musical with a large cast.<br /><br />My favorite part of this play was the Caterpillar! He had a suit coat with long tails that really helped his image. He was a great character and I wanted to hear more from him as the play went on!</span></div>

I read this play in my Modern and Contemporary Theatre course two years ago and couldn't wait to see what it would look like performed. It was quite the amusing story as we followed Jean on her journey to connect with the Gottliebs, through a dead man's cell phone. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My favorite play that I saw that week was </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pentecost</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. This play spoke to me on an intellectual level as my senses were exposed to all things I am studying: Theatre, History, Medieval Studies, Classical Studies, and Religious Studies. I COULD NOT believe what I was watching; I was enthralled as the combination of art historians, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> 12 different languages, art, theatre, EVERYTHING! It was put on by a fellow Vermont college, Middlebury.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At Saint Michael's, being in Vermont means you need to be prepared for all sorts of weather that is thrown your way. This week is especially cold. We're experiencing temperatures of -22 degrees! If that doesn't give you a chill, I don't know what will. Unintentional rhyming. </span></div>

Now I don't want to get all sappy (I'll leave that for May), but instead, speak to something that has made my SMC experience simply wonderful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you're scrolling through this post, feel free to listen to this song (Live Like That by Sidewalk Prophets) , as it was the main song for our VITA retreat this weekend:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/GfosSggwQS0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Being apart of VITA Team has shaped me as an individual, leader, and team member. Most recently Team members were invited back early to participate in a retreat and planning process for the semester. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When the day got closer and closer to go back to SMC, I was apprehensive. Why did I say yes to go back early? Why do I need to leave home? What did this mean for me, physically, emotionally, spiritually? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once our VITA Team reached Saint Anne's Shrine on Isle La Motte, about an hour from campus, my anxieties were subdued. The Edmundites, along with benefactors and donations, built five gorgeous cabins so that SMC retreats could be held in a specific area instead of having to be moved around every semester. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The cabins themselves are absolutely amazing, feeling very shiny, new, and cozy. The only thing that I missed was a fireplace! It was the perfect setting for our retreat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a great opportunity to connect as a VITA Team. We don't normally have the opportunity to be all in one space together as we all run different parts: LINK, Connections, Dessert and the Divine, Taize, and Socials. Meeting before the semester was ideal because we're all so busy doing so many things that we don't get to share in our faith all together at the same time all that often. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The theme for the retreat was "Celebrating Our Stories". We focused on how God is working in and through our lives in obvious and not so obvious ways. I learned so much about myself and my VITA community that really set the tone for this semester. It was a welcome beginning to this last semester at Saint Mike's. I was able to reflect on where I've been and where I want to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Times of prayer, reflection, and discussion enabled us to see that there are many stories that we can relate to, even if the details aren't the same. We were writing squares based off of questions and Scripture passages our Campus Minister Anna had chosen for the weekend. In the end, all of our squares were combined and we were able to see how even though there are parts that are different in our stories and our lives, they all come together to create something beautiful.</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the MOST AWESOME THINGS (definitely a <span style="color: purple;">QUIRK AND PERK</span>!) that could have possibly happened was that we could take the seats! They were just going to be recycled and it was our opportunity to have a piece of McCarthy history! This was particularly interesting to me since I wrote my History thesis on the Saint Michael's Playhouse, now housed in McCarthy. I had also spent most of my time at Saint Mike's roughly in the Mainstage working on the play, during class, or during the summer season of Playhouse. These seats have been in the building since it's opening in 1976. It'll be great to have an update for my last semester here at Saint Mike's!</span><div>

The Early History of Saint Michael's Playhouse as a Regional Summer Theatre: Thesis Presentation!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many things have happened already in December that are making it a pretty great month!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the most crucial events, particularly to my education, is that I finished and presented my thesis! I had the task of writing a 40-page thesis by December 7th, when I would present on my topic. You can check out the presentation below, recorded by the wonderful Alex! She's the best - she even picked out my outfit thank goodness!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's me presenting on my topic: An Early History of Saint Michael's Playhouse. Enjoy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of the great things about my thesis in History was that I was able to combine my interests in Theatre, my other major. Choosing Saint Michael's Playhouse, which I interned last summer with, enabled me to look further into the background of how the SMP originated. It's also great to see how far the theatre has come. I will also be lucky enough to intern with Chuck Tobin, the artistic director of the SMP!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My parents, my faith family, friends, and classmates were there to support me and I was so overjoyed that so many people were there to appreciate my hard work! It paid off and I received an A- on my thesis! I am more than satisfied and grateful that my efforts proved a great result! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Working on this project demonstrated to me that I was capable of producing such a work of large size. While looking at graduate schools, I've been noticing that a similar piece of work is necessary for the capstone of those projects. I now know that I can do it! While daunting while it's happening, you definitely feel accomplished afterwards. It's a great feeling!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It also makes Christmas break that much more enjoyable! Be sure to be on the lookout for more blog posts about my semester wrap-up, what I'll be doing this break, and what's next!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wishing you and yours a very merry Winter Solstice, (shortest day of the year!)</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In other news, I've successfully registered for my final (GASP) semester at Saint Mike's. I will be taking the following courses: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This schedule allows me to have Thursdays 'off' which I will be filling with an internship! I will be working with Chuck Tobin in preparing for the summer of Saint Michael's Playhouse! Lots of fun and exciting things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will also be stage managing our Spring Mainstage Production: Godspell! I've worked on this show twice in my life already and I can't wait to see what this time will have in store for cast and crew alike! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And finally, things I need to complete by the end of the semester:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- 40 page thesis (20 pages already done woohoo!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Class presentation on Medieval Vaulting in Cathedrals</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Final presentation and 8-10 page paper on Christ iconography represented in church portals and architecture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Presentation of my directing scene! December 9th woohoo!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So far - that looks to be it. I know it's a lot but my goal is to be done with 3/4s of it by Thanksgiving! It will make being home all the more special. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past weekend was Academic Preview Day - I loved giving tours to all the prospective students!

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My time this semester has largely been spent in the library doing research for my History thesis. On Monday, I submitted a 20 page draft of my thesis. Needless to say my brain has decided to go on sabbatical for the past few days to give me a chance to recover. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My next task is to get a hold of more research for my final papers and presentations for my other classes. WHAT?! Crazy I know how time flies. Luckily for me, I am able to use the wonderful resources and reference librarians that work in Durick. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How do you get a meeting with the librarians? Easy! Simply send them an e-mail or sign up for an appointment <a href="https://smclibrary.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php" target="_blank">here</a>! You can pick a date and time that works for you! You can also see which librarian has the research specialty you desire: i.e. Medieval Studies or Biology. I've worked with a few and they are definitely so helpful! They might even show you where the section of books you need - a tour of the things you'll find useful!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Recently I traveled to Pittsburgh over our October break to check out Carnegie Mellon University for their graduate student program. I'm debating on my options for post-graduation (WHAT NO!) and this was one of the first steps.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While I was there, I went to visit the Carnegie Mellon Museum of Art and Natural History. I can tell you that I was very impressed and could have spent hours (in fact I was there for six hours) looking at all the exhibits that were there. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm taking this class called Castles, Cathedrals, and Cities for my Medieval Studies minor and little did I expect to see what I learned in class apply to what I had been visiting for enjoyment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the coolest things that I got to see where a bunch of portals that were cast from churches in Europe. In my Castles, Cathedrals, and Cities class we had been talking about the importance of these portals, tympanums and lintels (directly above the doorway) of cathedrals in the Middle Ages. I was awe-stuck by the sheer size of the doors and just sat to look at all the different pieces that pulled my eye.</span> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We also have been talking about the different kinds of armor available during the time, how it's made, who needed it, things like that. Being able to walk around in armor, ride a horse, get back up after being pushed to the ground is something that has to be taken into consideration when it is made. There are a bunch of different techniques and decorations that can be used in creating armor. </span></div>

Something I'm involved with on campus is VITA, Saint Michael's Campus Ministry. Along with the wonderful <a href="http://www.emilygclegg.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Emily</a>, we run Dessert and the Divine. We meet once a month to bring together all that's been happening in other VITA events and socialize about how our time at Saint Mike's is going. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It allows me to take time out of my busy schedule to reflect on what's happening in my life and relate to others at SMC going through a similar college experience.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last night was our first meeting of the semester. I baked about 70+ mini cupcakes that we used as an activity. Emily made delicious butter-cream frosting, dyed with food coloring to signify different parts of our lives: <span style="color: red;">Red </span>= God, <span style="color: purple;">Purple </span>= Academics, <span style="background-color: yellow;">Yellow </span>= Friends, <span style="color: #274e13;">Green </span>= Family. We decorated cupcakes accordingly and discussed what our thought process was. It opened up my eyes to see that I've got a lot on my plate (literally!) this semester and finding a balance will be key between God, school, friends, and family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dessert and the Divine is a low-key commitment, much like many of our VITA weekly events. It's great to have a huge turnout but also nice when we have small-group discussions. We had a great group of people and I look forward to more discussion and deliciousness next month!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend us VITA Team Leaders have the opportunity to visit our Campus Minister Anna's house for apple-picking, kayaking, dinner, and smores! Hopefully I can get all my work done to enjoy the gorgeous, crisp fall with my friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something that's been really exciting this semester is that I've signed up to take Directing. Offered every fall, it's a requirement for Theatre majors, particularly why I'm taking it. I've also had an interest in directing, but never knew how to start. This class is already showing me ways to direct and what goes into the directing process. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During the first week of classes, we chose scenes from a hat that we would be directing for our final scene. I was privileged enough to pick <i>Death of a Salesman</i> by Arthur Miller. Other plays from the class include Neil Simon's <i>Barefoot in the Park </i>and <i>The Odd Couple</i>, Tennessee Williams' <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> and <i>The Glass Menagerie</i>, and Christopher Durang's <i>For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls</i>. We're focused on contemporary classics so all the names sounded really familiar to me, but I hadn't actually read any of them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Monday we had auditions for our scenes - we had a great turn out! Today during class we picked our casts, trying to spread out all of the men since we had 15 parts for 7 men who tried out. I luckily got the cast I wanted and I'm super excited to work with them! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next step in the process is to do a scene analysis - involving research and background for the characters and scene. It'll be an adventure that's for sure! It's good to know the details before the rehearsals start happening so that I can help my actors in providing them what they need to fulfill their character's goals. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hopefully I'll keep you guys updated as the process continues. This is one of my favorite classes this semester - I just love the variety of classes I'm taking this semester: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">- Directing with Cathy Hurst</span></div>

It's crazy to think that tomorrow will be my 'last first day of school' (until I decide whether or not I'm going to grad school). I also realized that most, if not all of my classes are with upperclassmen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm so excited to meet all the first-years and help them make their experience at Saint Mike's the best it can be! Being in a leadership position in both VITA (Campus Ministry) and Drama Club, I really want all to feel welcome and get involved! I'm working with a great group of people for both of these clubs and looking forward to a successful year ahead!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some tips that I use whenever it's a new school year:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1) <b>Prepare everything the night before</b>. That way you're not rushing around in the morning frantic that you can't find a notebook and pen or that shirt you really wanted to wear that might not be unpacked yet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) <b>Show up to your classes about 5 minutes before</b>. That way if you don't know where your classroom is you've got some time to figure out where you are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3) <b>Eat breakfast!</b> This is usually a hard one for me as I was not a breakfast person until recently. My stomach was usually never awake when I had class at 8:30, but it was rumbling by the end! <u>Alliot is open at 7:15 for breakfast!</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4) <b>Take notes</b>. You'll get a syllabus or view it online at eCollege. Professors give you an outline for the course so you know what to expect!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5) <b>Have fun!</b> Get excited about learning new things, meeting your peers and professors, and being at SMC! I love getting to know a new bunch of people and studying together makes for a good time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have an AWESOME first day wherever you are and I can't wait to hear some stories about your first day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Katelyn :)</span>Katelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026562360429629428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663383944653195307.post-89831475136574674412013-08-07T13:20:00.001-04:002013-08-07T13:20:17.814-04:00Quirks and Perks of Starting Your First-Year at Saint Michael's <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One thing I love about the end of summer is that I get to see all my friends again! For some of us, it means coming up early to prepare for many First-Year events. There are so many people who want to make this experience a great one for you: VITA (Campus Ministry), RAs, IT Helpdesk, Orientation Leaders, Sports teams and more! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is so much going on in the first few days that it may seem overwhelming but there's nothing to fear! Things to remember:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Everyone is in the same boat as you.</b> It's probably your first time sharing a room with someone you don't know. It's probably your first time away from home living on your own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It may sound cliche but it's true. If you're feeling anxious or excited, someone else is feeling the same way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: purple;">What you can do</span>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Go to all the Orientation events! They are all put on for you so you can meet your peers and have a good time! One of my personal favorites is the hypnotist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>You're here for an education.</b> First and foremost you are a student. However you study you should be focused on accomplishing your tasks. Because you are on your own, it's up to you when you do your work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What you can do:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do what works best for you. If you do your work, your grades will reflect that and your professors will notice. Find a study buddy who will help you focus on your work. Also know your resources: the Writing Center, professor's office hours, and the Tutoring Center. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Try new things and meet new people!</b> There is a club activities fair in the beginning of the school year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What you can do:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Check out a bunch of different clubs that you might be interested in. SMC has a lot going on and it's a great way to meet your peers who share similar interests. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Get to know your floor - your RA will have floor meetings where you can learn things and chat about how your semester is going. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Don't pack everything but the kitchen sink.</b> Those outrageous heels from prom? That old practice jersey? Not particularly beneficial. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What you can do:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What I recommend is weather-appropriate clothing. You won't need your heavy winter clothes until after Thanksgiving. Rain jacket and rain boots on the other hand? Always a good investment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my opinion, the sense of <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">community </span></b>at Saint Mike's is the greatest perk to being a student here. It really makes your experience here a special one. Don't be afraid to chat to anyone, faculty, staff, or your peers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't wait to see you all when you come on move-in day! If you have any questions feel free to comment or e-mail me! Wishing you well on your packing!</span><br />

Yikes. This is what happens when you have a summer internship at Saint Michael's Playhouse. We were told before we arrived that each day would feel like a week, each week a month, and so on. I wasn't sure how believable this would be, but boy have I been surprised. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You saw my last post boasting about my endeavors for <i>Fiddler on the Roof</i> and we're in the thick of <i>Tuesdays with Morrie</i>. Compared to the huge cast <i>Fiddler</i> had, <i>Morrie</i> is a quiet change with only two actors. We've been building our third set for <i>Rumors</i> (opening July 17 and running through the 27th) behind the set for <i>Morrie </i>due to its small size. It's a welcome arrangement since the set for <i>Rumors </i>is two intricate stories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since I last wrote that we've started <i>Rumors</i> - we're in our second week run now. It's sad that it will be over soon since we have changeover in just a few days. It's truly beginning to feel like the end is near. I'll be ready for a mini-break (I'll have a week at home before heading back to SMC for training week and orientation) but I wish that I could just bottle this summer and keep it forever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've learned so much from all the great people here at the Playhouse and I now have a better idea of my career aspirations. It's also crazy to think that this time next year I'll hopefully be employed in the real world DOUBLE YIKES. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll keep you posted on my future endeavors as they happen and as I begin my final year here at Saint Mike's. What a long, strange trip it's been! (That 70's Show anyone?)</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After living in Burlington for the past two summers working for my favorite <a href="http://ramblesofanomad.blogspot.com/2012/05/it-helpdesk.html" target="_blank">IT Helpdesk</a>, I decided to apply to a few internships and see where they would lead me. Turns out I would just be moving a building over into the Michael and Margaret McCarthy Arts Center here at Saint Michael's. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After my <a href="http://ramblesofanomad.blogspot.com/2012/12/i-am-england.html" target="_blank">theatre internship abroad</a>, I wanted to get an internship in theatre stateside. Luckily Saint Mike's hosts <a href="http://academics.smcvt.edu/playhouse/" target="_blank">Saint Michael's Playhouse</a>, an Actor's Equity theatre company during the summer. I was accepted with other thespians to work in the box office and in the shop for the summer. While I took a huge paycut, I really wanted the opportunity to gain hands-on experience for potential future employment opportunities. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I moved into Ryan Hall with my friend Julia, also in Playhouse, and was thrust into what summer stock is. So far we've put up <i>Fiddler on the Roof</i>, closing this Saturday (6/29) and started the processes for <i>Tuesdays With Morrie</i>, our next running show from 7/3-7/13. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two pieces of scenery, a well and a counter were made by myself and fellow interns Julia (well) and Lexi (counter). It was difficult at first but definitely super rewarding afterwards!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Playhouse has certainly kept me busy, but we also have fun! On our day off, staff and interns put together a putt-putt course where the only requirements were that you couldn't use an actual putter and that you must wear plaid or argyle. I used my vacuum cleaner (was mildly successful) and though I didn't have plaid or argyle, I donned a dress and wore my sunhat! Afterwards, we created a slip-and-slide behind a row of houses to cool off. Definitely a great way to spend a day off!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As of tomorrow, I'll be working at Saint Michael's Playhouse in VT. I've spent the last three weeks in CT and it's been a relaxing change of pace from my hectic schedule. What I feel now is that I don't spend enough time in CT, being around family and friends from home. The past weekend alone fulfilled a lot of socialization for me and while I think myself to be a social person I've relished in my solitude while I have the opportunity.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That being said, I'm really excited to be starting my summer internship, making new friends, making (meager) wages, and being in VT for the summer. After spending all of my undergraduate summers at Saint Mike's, I could not imagine a better way to use my time. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saint Mike's is one of my favorite places in the world, especially during the summer. Campus seems to be dormant and yet so much is going on beneath the surface. It's a different feel from the school year, more relaxed and laid back. It's what I wish after graduation would be like; hanging out with your friends within a walking radius and having a good time. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't wait to be back, though I'm not looking forward to the hot dorm rooms... luckily McCarthy is air-conditioned! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In other news, I got a new phone! I named it Buzz Lightyear for my love of Disney/Pixar and it's the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and space and all that good stuff. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bev: Oh how I adore you. Your speech at graduation was wonderful. I loved the shout-out to Lightbody (aka I hope he made it to hear it!). I've enjoyed our work shifts together at IT and I will definitely miss you and our online-shopping, whether or not it's worth buying $135 rainboots... Emory and Hotlanta are lucky to have you not matter how in debt you'll be. I'll be glad to add you to my arsenal should I ever need a lawyer! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raquel: I've also enjoy our work shifts together! You say the darndest things with that witty sense of humor. You are a magnificent person and I am honored to know you - especially when you belt out song with that fantastic voice of yours! I can't wait to see where life takes you :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MUFFIN: Though we lived across the way, our paths rarely crossed. Still, I am glad I got to see you in passing! I wish you well in your endeavors for firefighting - you are such a dedicated and outgoing person and my fingers are crossed for you!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anthony: I had missed you so immensely after being abroad! I was so glad we had a class together so I could see you on a regular basis. I am honored to be following in your footsteps as Drama Club VP. I was glad to be around my best friend who shares my brain! Just like you put on a show with minimal rehearsals, you will direct your life with full effort, enthusiasm, and class. Can't wait to see you when you come visit Playhouse!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jake: Thank you for putting up with my insanity this semester, from a late-night trip to the ER to making dinner after I got out of rehearsals. I also enjoyed getting addicted to Doctor Who and Sherlock thanks to you haha. I'm glad that I was around for your final semester at SMC and I'm so proud of you constantly working on your thesis which turned out to be great! You know I love you and I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. I'm glad to be along for the ride :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my roommates: Although most of us were just two ships passing in the night, I loved living with all of you! I would do it again in a heartbeat :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Allyson: I'm so glad you asked me to live with you this semester and reintroducing me to such amazing people! I will certainly miss hearing you singing around the house and the crazy shenanigans that ensued many a night in 403. I expect you to visit before you get a real-life job haha :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Caitlin: Woohoo names! Our side of the floor was clearly superior - I'm so glad that I got to live with you this semester and get to know you better. It seems like so long ago that we were in class with Rose and Hope; I would've never guessed we'd live together! I already miss the guitar-playing! Mexico is lucky to have you and maybe I'll come visit for Spring Break next year! </span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sam: Finally after <i>Dead Man Walking</i> and student teaching, I'm glad we finally got to hang out! Sitting out on our porch people-watching and enjoying the good weather was one of my favorite parts of the year. I also enjoyed being the communication between you and Cait when one of you was in the kitchen, the other upstairs haha. I miss you all so much! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anna: As the only two non-education majors, it was nice to have someone who understands haha. You make me aspire to bake more (especially from scratch!) and everything you made smelled and tasted DELICIOUS! It was also great to have someone else who understands the difficulties of being lactose-intolerant haha. You are also so stylish! Loved all your skirts and dresses :) You're such a great person and I know you'll go on to do fantastic things! I hope you enjoy Colorado!</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To TH 304:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for eating all the extra food/baked goods I brought over and letting me eat your food. Many a night I was glad to overhear some interesting conversations, exclamations over video games or reddit, or discussions off the beer wall or brewery-related excursions haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

It's now May 24th. Just goes to show that life gets a hold of you and you get busy. Being busy is good in my mind but I shall make time to blog again! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enjoy the post below and expect further posts in the next few weeks to catch up :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So it's a crazy thought to think, but I've finished my junior year at Saint Michael's! The spring semester always seems to go faster than the fall semester. I had two finals on Saturday and I'm just waiting to hear back on grades from two of my classes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've even started packing! I'll be here working Senior Week where seniors have a bunch of fun things planned - it enables me to hang out with my senior friends and go to graduation without having to take a ticket. It really shows me how fast time goes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next up for me is going home for a few weeks which will be really nice. It'll give me a chance to relax a bit before coming back to VT to work with Saint Michael's Playhouse for the summer - I'm SUPER EXCITED! We have a really good group of people interning from Saint Mike's and I can't wait to meet other interns from other colleges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't wait for all these auspicious things to transpire - I'm sure there will be delightful things to share! </span><br />
