So I made it through the first week of classes, activities, and craziness. Whew. Don't get me wrong, I love it here and I love all of the activities that I participate in, but the first week is always a rough one.

Classes look like they're going to go well. I'm taking my last two math classes here at Albright, which is happy and sad at the same time. I'll be officially done with part of my major, but I know I'm going to miss the math just a bit. I'm also taking two education classes. I'm really… Continue

A lot of people are at Albright right now for the interim session taking a class or working here, but I'm doing something a little different: observing a middle school classroom.

I'm a math/secondary education major in case you didn't know, and a requirement for education majors is that they take a class called early field experience, where we are put into a classroom to observe and even teach a little bit; we get our feet wet to see if we like education. I'm at Northeast Middle School right do… Continue

That's right, today I am doing absolutely nothing constructive...first time I could say that for a while. Finals are over, the semester is over, and now I can be a bum for two weeks. Yay!

I can say with complete confidence that this was my most stressful semester academically. I took some pretty tough classes, abstract algebra (sounds fun r… Continue

With the end of the semester fast approaching stress is building more and more each day. Luckily I had this break to catch up on work and have at least a little bit of time to relax.

First up was Thanksgiving! For Thanksgiving my girlfriend Carrie and I drove out to her home in Fairchance, which is about an hour south of Pittsburgh. I don't know how many of you have experience driving long distances but that drive is brutal. We left at 7am Wednesday morning and got to her house around 11:30, wi… Continue

It's getting really busy to say the least. We've hit the part of the semester where everything seems to hit us all at once...

Pledging has been time consuming, but fun at the same time. Last week I had two tests, and this week two more. One of the tests this week was on Monday so only one more to go...and that's on Friday. Problem is it's in my abstract algebra class, which is really hard, so I'm nervous for it. Just going to have to hit the books. I also have a 10 page math paper to write, a u… Continue
