November FINALLY Comes to an End!

Oh November, how you have flown by!

It has been quite a while since I have been able to update about life at EC...reason being, November is a busy. busy month! But here I am, ready to recap all of the exciting things that have recently happened.

First, Orchesis, the dance show of term I, took place and was a GREAT success. I danced in the performance, in two Orchesis sponsored dances and one outside tap duet that I successfully tried out and had selected for the show! It really was an awesome show, and it was clear that the student body definitely enjoyed it!

Relaxing before the show!

November seemed like a shorter month, especially because we have Thanksgiving break. Once Thursday and Friday came and everyone finished their last classes, tests, and projects, the campus cleared and became empty, as if a plague swept through. I embarked on my 8 hour drive back to New Hampshire, and successfully made it (obviously because I am writing this blog). I am sure like the rest of the campus I enjoyed my break by spending time with my family, and of course devouring the delicious Thanksgiving food (PIES!).

Now that I have returned to campus, EC is getting in the Christmas and Holiday Cheer! My roommates and I have decorated our rooms and common room with Christmas lights and snowflakes. Many of my other friends have begun shopping for presents, and exchanging gifts already. The school has begun preparations for the annual Holiday Banquet and Ball, which take place this Friday and Saturday. It will definitely be another eventful and exciting weekend. This is a fun tradition, and eating dinner with our professors is always entertaining. The dance should be fun too, and provides for excellent photo opportunities as everyone is dressed up and the giant Christmas tree in the campus center will be dressed to impress as well. I will definitely be documenting the entire night with pictures!

The next few weeks begin the studying for finals time, with extended library hours! For every crazy student who decides studying at 1am is the most effective way to pass, this is very exciting because it means extra work time! Midnight breakfast will be kicking off finals week too, and getting served by the EC staff will hopefully encourage us to get studying. Only two-ish more weeks separate us from Holiday Break, and every student is looking forward to the well deserved break after what we know will be an intense finals week!

Speaking of finals, the studying for me as a nursing student starts now!
After the holiday festivities take place, expect a detailed account of the events as well as photo documentation!

Happy End of November, and Beginning of December!
