Home Sweet ... Newbury

Welcome back!!!!! Today, January 11th, at 9 AM the residential halls opened for all returning boarders. This is a reminder to remember to check in at Newbury's registrar office for the spring 2009 semester. You need to confirm your schedule even if you have already picked your classes. It is important to check in because otherwise you will be unable to participate in any classes. It is also needed to make sure that your student account is not on hold. 

On a nice note, Newbury is now a white wonderland! The snow is everywhere and coming from California this is extremely exciting!! This means... Snow fights in the courtyard!

Updates:

There is a women's basketball game on monday! Come support your schools team! 

School's out for WINTER

I hope everyone has a fabulous break! The dorms officially closed yesterday at seven PM!

They do not open again till January 11th at nine AM. You will not be allowed to enter the halls until that time, so don't even bother trying. Ha.... For t

hose of you who know me... know how ironic this is.. Seeing as how my flight gets in at 5:30 AM and I will be at school by 6:30 Am that day... WHAT am I supposed to do till nine in the morning??? Sit outside in the snow? Um, no thank you. I'm getting in... Somehow. I am not sure yet though how exactly I will accomplish this task. 

Well it has been a good semester you guys. I hope everyone remembers that we are having a semi formal in February, so bring back that dress that you want to wear! It is going to be located at the Lenox Hotel.

Dancing is fun! Look at Laura dancing! Doesn't this picture just make you want to go to the semi formal? I think it does!!

Also remember to support the mens volleyball team when you come back in January! 

Good bye for now! (I most likely will not be continuing this blog next semester because my class is over..... But I hope it was enjoyed and helpful to you over the past three weeks!)

And The Winner is...

Me? Haha.

Well, considering not that  many people actually showed up.... Maybe I am not actually that good at Rock Paper Scissors, but somehow I managed to win the fabulous competition. Haha. I really believe that more people need to show up to our schools events and our RA's programs. Honestly, they aren't bad and the more the merrier, right? 

And on that note...

Help support our schools fashion club! They are still selling raffle tickets and the prize is two tickets to the Celtics game in March! You can pay two dollars, I 

believe, for 5 tickets, 5 dollars for ten tickets or ten dollars for an arms length of tickets. 

You can also purchase a Tee-Shirt to help the fashion club raise money!

ROE SHAM BOE

Break from finals! Break from finals!!! Tim the RA is having a program tonight, for all those who attend you have a chance of winning either, a gift card to CVS, Applebee's, or Roggies.  All you have to do is win the Rock Paper Scissors competition. Although I would like to point out that those of us NOT from the east coast call this game Roe Sham Boe.... I don't understand why NO one here has ever heard it called that before. 

Come and have fun procrastinating tonight at 9!! 

I will let you know how it goes!

Pancakes for Dinner?

Getting worn out from all that studying that has been going down in your room? Take a break, relax, and enjoy something to eat tonight! At breakfast by moonlight! Tonight at ten PM come on over to the cafe and enjoy a tasty breakfast served to you by the faculty and staff! It should be a fun time! 

Have any extra cash? Or just want to spend some?

Do you love new clothes?

I know I do...

Well then, you are in luck! There is a holiday shopping trip to New York City.  December 6th! (also Felicia Jone's birthday!) It is $20 per person, you get to travel on over to NYC for the day.  Everybody gets together in the morning and they plan to hit the road at 7AM.  You all get to New York City and get to go shopping! Seriously, who wouldn't want to do that? Well... Maybe excluding most guys...But really? You get to go shopping! And not just shopping, but shopping in New York City. I don't know about you but I have neve

r been, so this trip sounds pretty awesome. Take it into consideration! You will have a blast.
