We have now found ourselves back at school to begin the
spring semester; the winter break went by quickly, as it always does. The new year has brought with it some changes
around the halls of Quigley. Our
director’s position has changed hands alongside the retirement of two faculty
members. It will be interesting to see
how/what changes come about in the coming weeks and months…. Regardless, it has come time to really
buckle-down and focus on our thesis projects.
We have made it to the final stretch of our education! We just have to hang on for another few months.
Southern
Illinois was hit with a little bit of wintery weather last night. I woke up this morning to about two-three
inches of snow. As is usually the case
during these circumstances, SIU is the only school or college to be open all
day, seemingly unaffected by the new weather conditions. I figure that this is due largely in part to
the majority of the students living on or immediately near campus, so the task
of reaching classes is not too daunting.
For myself (a commuting student) however, this is not always the case… I
made it without much difficulty today though so that may be a discussion for
another time. For now I am sitting in
studio now while my fiancé enjoys a day off from his teaching duties at a local
high school… Maybe it is the little kid in me, but I always welcomed a nice and
relaxing snow day. I knew we would have
classes today on campus, but a part of me held out hope (and always does during
the winter weather) that we might get just one snow day to enjoy. Given what I just said however, I am kind of
glad that we are here today…. Seeing as the semester began only yesterday, who
wants to have a snow day on the second day of class? That seems like a bit of a
waste… Looks like we will have to see what the coming weeks bring!
