So, a lot has happened since my last post on here. We are now in “off-season” but in roller derby terms that means absolutely nothing as said before. We still are practicing 2 to 3 times a week and have have our common social events. How […]

Glimmerglass Lagoon on my way to work
Three weeks…that’s all that’s left for the semester! It’s almost unbelievable that I’ve pretty much completed my first semester of grad school. Just a few months ago I was going to my first graduate class. At the time I was worried, scared, and very nervous. I had […]

This past week was National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, which Lifestyles recognized by distributing “It’s Okay Not To Drink” shirts to students and faculty on Wednesday, Oct. 19th.
Alcohol and Other Drug Coordinator Ted Winkworth first got the idea for the shirts from “straightedge hardcore bands from the 90s.” When Ted went to a concert, he noticed one […]

Last Monday, I went to my first Practicum experience of the semester at Dennis M. Kenney Middle School in Hannibal. Previously, I hadn’t had much of an idea where Hannibal is located, but it is very close to Oswego; in fact, it’s really only about ten minutes away. Just as you’re leaving Hannibal, in fact, […]
