Typical Week of Classes

Hello Everyone! 

This week has been crazy as usual! I have had so much going on. Between being on RA duty, going to class, writing three papers and work study, this week has been so crazy. The three paper I wrote were for my three favorite classes. One of those classes, War and Peace in the 20th Century with Professor Jorgensen had to be about how war can or cannot be enjoyable. I highly suggest that all of you readers take any class you can with Professor Jorgensen. He his so funny! Another other class I had a paper in was in Classical Political Theory with Dr. Imholt. This class is super interesting because we are in the middle of talking about some of the great political theorists such as Plato and Aristotle. The final paper I had to do was for Quest of God In The Modern World. This class is taught by Dr. Bourgeois. This class is extremely interesting because it forces you to open your mind and think "outside the box." The two other classes I am taking are International Relations with Professor Edwards and Sports Marketing and Promotion with Professor Wajnowski. I have a great class schedule this year. I am very excited to the rest of this year and I am also looking forward to picking my class schedule for next semester as well.

Week and Weekend Activities!


This week has been such a crazy week so far! I had my floor function for the second floor of Dominican Hall on Tuesday September 18th. It was an awesome turn out. A lot of people from my floor came out and had pizza and soda. It was nice to see that everyone made an effort to attend for something that I worked very hard for. I hope that the future events I host will be just as well attended as the last two were! Today, September 18th, I gave a tour to a prospective student. This was very exciting because I was able to show a high school student what it was like to walk around a college campus. The student was very pleased with the tour! 

       This weekend I am hoping to go apple picking in Branford with my girlfriend Stephanie. I am very excited because I have never been apple picking before. Apple picking is a great fall activity to do outside. It is also good that it is not too far of a drive from school, so it is nice to go just for the late afternoon.

       I hope you all have a great rest of the week and a fantastic weekend!

Boston Sunday

Hello Everyone!


This weekend was a busy one! I went home to visit my family on Long Island and then I went to the Students in Admissions Forum which took place in Boston. It was a fantastic experience. The tour guides learned a lot of new techniques about how to do a tour and how to do an "A+" tour. After the forum ended, we went to Quincy Market which is located in the heart of Boston. We had a filling dinner at Cheers and talked about what we had taken away from the days activities and how much we enjoyed the great experience. I had never been to Quincy Market before so it was nice to walk around and visit all of the nice stores such as Coach and American Eagle. We also saw a lot of other restaurants and buildings that were very old and historical. I am looking forward to all of the upcoming tours I have scheduled to use the many techniques I learned about today.

Below is a picture of the sign of the restaurant Cheers.

Busy Busy Week!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all have had a great week! My week has been extremely busy. It was full of work study, getting prepared for my program with RA Alex LaRosa and then hosting the program. We planned a Barbeque in the backyard of Nilan Hall. It was an extremely successful event. We had 20 residents show up ready to eat! I cooked burgers and hot dogs and there were chips for everyone to snack on. I was very excited to be able to cook a delicious meal for the residents of Nilan Hall and Dominican Hall. Next week, I am hosting another event for the second floor in Dominican Hall! It should be very fun and informative.

This Sunday I am going to attend the Admissions Forum with the Tour Guides which is being held in Boston, MA. It should be very fun to be able to learn about the different techniques colleges around the country use while they give tours to prospective students. Last year I attended the same forum but it was held at Brown University in Rhode Island. I had a great experience last year so I expect it will be even a better experience this year.

Football Sunday!

Hello Everyone,

   This week was a very busy week! It was nice to settle down and enjoy a relaxing weekend on campus. Today, Sunday September 8th, was the start of Sunday football! It was nice to go down to The Pub with some friends and have some free wings and pizza. It was cool to have a good lunch while watching the games in  The Pub. The most exciting time of this Sunday was watching the Jets game and seeing Geno Smith earn his first win as quarterback. I definitely did not think that would happen. My other New York team, the Giants played the Cowboys. The Giants vs Cowboys matchup is always fun and exciting to watch. This Sunday was a relaxing day to end the crazy week. 

   This week is also going to be a very busy week but it is going to be a fun week! Alex LaRosa and I are having our RA function this Thursday, September 12th. It is going to be a lot of fun to have a program with Alex. We hope a lot of people come out and have fun. I hope everyone has a great week and thank you for reading!

Back to school, back to school....

Hello everyone!

We are back for another year at Albertus! This has been a very good year for me so far. I arrived at school on August 15th for two weeks of RA training. RA training was very tough but also very fun. I had a great time with Justin Cirisoli who is the Director of Residential Life and the rest of the RAs. I was also a Student Orientation Counselor, commonly referred to as a "SOC". The SOCs were led by Erin Morrell and Kaitlyn Dyleski. They did an awesome job preparing the SOCs and coordinating orientation week. It was a very good experience for me to help prepare and set up the school for the incoming freshman. 

I also have a great class schedule. I have classes Monday-Thursday and I have off on Friday! This was very exciting for me to hear because this will be the first time I have never had class on a Friday. I am very excited to be able to sleep late! I know that this year is going to be a busy school year, but I am ready to get my Junior year moving. It is amazing to think that it has already been two years since I was a freshman. 

I hope all of you have a great year!
