The time has come and gone for the seniors here....Graduation was on Sunday and what an amazing day it was! I know all the high school seniors out there are anxiously awaiting their time...which is coming soon I would imagine or has passed already....early to mid June, right?? Almost there guys!! And, then it's time for college!! Are you pumped up yet???! In just a few short months you will be packing your bags and moving on to the next chaper/phase/etc. in your life.
Aside from all the graduation news...the campus is sadly very very quiet now that the students have left for the summer. :( Quiet is very hard for me. Loudness (not loud loud...you know what I mean) is definitely my way of life. The energy I feel when you (the students!) are around is very contagious and makes the days very uplifting....not saying I'm not uplifted during the summer...it's just a more exciting environment when students are running through the halls, practicing on the fields, studying it up in the libraries, pumping iron in the gym, swimming laps, playing guitar by the pond....you get the picture...
Anyhow, I shall close...lots to do...Again...Congrats and Hooray to Grads! Bask in this time of your life because it only happens once! :) Have a most joyous summer!

Happy sunny May day!
OK ok ok...I did it again I know...it's been a month and 2 days since I last posted. I do have a good excuse though...drumroll please...I was requested to be a participant in an international hot dog eating contest in Beijing (did I tell you all that's one of my most beloved hobbies?)...yep, I flew across the world to eat hot dogs. It was actually a promotional event to help drum up support for adding hot dog eating as a olympic sport. I got to meet the best in the world, but I ended up placing 4th....ok...that's enough of that...Yeah...Just kidding....I don't even like hotdogs. I do love hamburgers though.
Well...let's see...I have been busy meeting with all (well, not every single one, but alot) of the wonderfully talented and bright seniors and rising seniors who visited and informing them of all the extraordinary aspects of LSC....it's been a lot of fun getting to you know all! Also, it's college decision time for seniors, which is an overwhelming and emotional task especially if there are financing concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact our finanical aid office (or any of the admissions counselors)...they are dedicated folks that will help you through the crazy maze of figuring out how to pay for college, which by the way I am still paying for and it's been 8 yrs since I graduated! I definitely get it when your eyes get big when talks of costs come in to play.
So, anyhow, it's been a busy month in admissions as I am sure it is for all the other admissions offices in every college/university in America. We all want you to come to one of our schools because we think you have something valuable to bring to the "table" (campus). As corny as it sounds...I do truly believe that each student has something unique and awesome to bring to LSC.
On a life note...things have been good. It's currently 70 degrees (let me hear a Whooppee to that!) and I am at home relaxing despite it being a work day...I took a personal day to recharge, unpack, do laundry, take the dog to the vet, clean my apt., go for a long run, etc. I was gone over the weekend to Washington D.C. (kinda close to Beijing?) to see my big brother get married, which absolutely was one of the finest and most amazing weddings I have ever been to. We had a clear view of all the big monuments (even could see President Bush eating dinner..yep...teasing again) and the Potomac was right under the building the reception was in....truly magical and tons of fun seeing the wedding and especially spending time with my family...all 7 siblings of mine, 12 nieces/nephews, and a crazy amount of extended relatives.
I hope all is well with each one of you...whether you are getting final projects/exams done before you high school graduation, studying up for the SATs, or preparing for a recital/theater production/softball game, etc....I hope life is good. I know LSC students are in their last week of classes for the year (summer is almost here!!) and some are in their last week of classes for life and will be graduating (Go Grads!)...I won't be a stranger for long this time because I have a little more time this month to keep informing you all of my wonderfully entertaining stories and happenings :)
Take care of yourself and each other, study hard for exams, and enjoy the beautiful weather! E
