De-Stress Week brought to you by Res-Life

Brighten up your finals week with some Destressing Holiday Cheer!

On this glorious Reading Day, we give thanks for all of the good times this semester, and we share our triumphs and our sorrows during this time of closure and family.

What better way to let off some steam or share some infectious energy by attening one of the De-Stress Week Programs hosted by your RA’s? If you want to find out what’s being offered by your RA’s or maybe just what’s going on around campus at other Residence Halls, look for the flyers or talk to your RA.

This week in Fox, we’ve already had a buffalo wings eating competition and a ladderball tournament, and more is coming with holiday decoration creations and movie nights.

Time to start wrapping things up…

Hey Guys!!

It’s Ashley! I haven’t been able to write a decent blog in quite some time, sorry about that! I’ve been soooo busy the last few weeks! With the semester winding down, make sure you take some time to relax yourself so you can get what you gotta get done, done.

I just finished writing up my focus paper for my psychology of developmental disabilities class, and boy was it a doozy (spelling by jeff sawyer.) I had to write about 2,200 words on a focus topic of a developmental disability and area of my choice. I had to choose 4 primary sources that had to be all journal articles, no text books or anything.

It was really hard to do, but I finally plugged through it and finished with just over the amount of words I needed.

I also had a huge presentation for my short story class, and put it on youtube for class.

I had a lot of things to do for classes, but now all I have left is to focus on my finals.

Start studying now so you don’t get overwhelmed!

Xoxo- Ashley

Monday Morning And It Is Cold!

Good morning and good day to all of you readers out there! It couldn’t get any more wintery than this…except, of course for a Nor’ Easter which we should be getting sometime this week.

The low for today: 25.2
The high for today: 30.3

I wore a sweatshirt and a wintercoat to class and in class and I was still cold. I was amazed by the site of a girl wearing a skirt with leggings on my way over to the office. I think that’s just pure insanity.

Speaking of pure insanity, why am I awake? It’s monday, it’s cold, finals are coming, papers are due, why do we even have class? I’ll tell you why: this is college. Instead of working at ten dollars an hour, you’re working at ten dollars with a purpose of bettering yourself and upping your chances at a more successful work venue.

So get out there, get to class, and enjoy this winter weather because it’s only going to be here until late April/ early May…

The Worst Christmas Ever…By Dad

With finals week fast approaching and the winter break alongside, I thought it fitting to pay tribute to one of our many orientation leaders we respectfully call dad…

In honor of the Christmas Season and to light up the dreary weather before finals I give you Chris Christmas Adoretti…

It’s Dad! singing the Worst Christmas Song Recorded
Well, maybe it isn’t Chris, but you have to admit that guy totally looks like him…

Waitin’ for ISIS 9.0

Hey Peeps,

So for those of you that still need to register for classes or just want to play around with the new ISIS once it becomes available, go to this website to get some sneak peeks of the new and improved ISIS 9.0…

http://www.uml.edu/enrollment/isis/default.aspx

There will be an update at this link at 4PM today informing everyone whether or not it is up or how much longer. If you are at all confused about how to register for your classes using the new ISIS once it is up just feel free to e-mail any of the Orientation Ambassadors for help. On that note, you all should be getting e-mails from us just checking in on how your semester is going and to answer any questions you may have. Do not hesitate to e-mail us back with questions or concerns. It makes us feel so much more useful!!

Alrighty I’m done,

Two Losses Doesn’t Make It A Slump… Does it? :-(

🙁

11/24/09 UML 4-2 Loss @ Providence Friars

11/27/09 UML 3-1 Loss v Maine Blackbears

Does this spell trouble for the Riverhawks? What kind of slump are our boys in?

No trouble… not here in Mill City…
I think it’s the academics to be honest with you. We’re all feeling pretty sluggish this late in the semester. They hit the ice hard the first games of the season. After November 8th is where the slump factor came in. With two games at Alabama the weekend of Nov 13th and 14th, followed by an easy win against Merrimack on the 21st the Riverhawks never cut slack on the competition, but after easy opponents, tons of school work, Thanksgiving, and a fair amount of ice time it’s easy to see that there’s more to close losses than bad skating.

With only four games left in the Ice Breaker Tournament, it seems the Riverhawks are a headed off the Pawtucket Falls in a wooden bucket. UNH, UMass Amherst, and Princeton remain as the final opponents before Christmas break and it’s going to be the last big push to the lulling rocks before the rushing rapids of the Dartmouth Tournament in January.

Just like everyone else…push

All I can say is good luck boys…

Hit em’

The semester is winding down!!!

Hey everyone, Jeff here with some information about the end of the semester…if you already don’t know. ISIS will be back up on Wed. December 2 so for those of you that still need to register you can do so starting the 2nd. It will be much easier to use! The last day of classes are going to be on Monday December 14th. The 15th is Reading Day and there will be no classes. The 16th is when final exams begin. If your professor has not already told you when your final exam is, you can go to the Registrars website, or just click on this link…

http://www.uml.edu/registrar/term_fall/SCHEDULE/Final_Exam_Schedule.html

That is the direct link to the schedule. It is all listed by department and course number so if you know those then you can just see when your final is going to be that way.

Be sure to check your e-mails as well because myself and the other Orientation Ambassadors are sending out e-mails just to check in with everyone and see how your first semesters were here and to answer any questions that you have.

Alright I’m Done,
Jeff
