Spring is Coming



Last week I went to a conference where I learned so much I’m just exploding with new ideas and encouragement for each of you. It was great. I cannot wait to add these little things to our advising times together.  I’ll try to add these things slowly so I don’t drowned you with ideas or contagious energy.

In the meantime, I just realized we are half way through October and I haven’t even reminded you of the Haunted House at St. Albans. This is not my thing, but everyone who has gone has loved it.  http://stalbans-virginia.com/

Did you get everything done yesterday that you wanted to? Have you ever said “I could get everything done if I only had more time.” Well, news flash – Beyonce has the same amount of time in a day that you do and she gets stuff done!  So where does your time go? Use this guide to figure it out http://www.studygs.net/schedule/.  Be honest and keep in mind that if you are off campus commuting to campus your transportation should indicate 1 hour for each round trip to & from campus.
