Christmas worldwide

chilling temperatures throughout the week. With a sketchy weather forecast, a little time-out from golf gave some added relief to the upcoming holiday festivities. Speaking of festivities, the 9-hole ladies gathered together to celebrate the annual Christmas Lunch held on December 3rd. We were in awe with the festive holiday table decor, put together by our lovely Suzanne Schmitz. Lori Randall captured our attention during the lunch with a slide show collection of current golf and past golf…

importance of family especially during holidays, the importance of friendships and what makes a healthy relationship, and the most vivid in my life is the student-athlete lifestyle.

Family is something that you don’t get to pick but no matter what they do you will always love them. I…

That was it. Officially. The worst Christmas ever. He has been okay with not being able to go home for the holidays. He had been okay with being alone at Christmas in a city he didn't know anybody.

It was the 24th of December, Christmas. He had forgotten to buy for food for the holidays so he had gone through the city looking for a…

Assessment Situation The assessment was administered on February 1st, President’s Day. Both Dan and Dan’s mom were off that day, because of the holiday and so it was an ideal time to meet. I visited him at his home to administer the test. I chose to administer the test in the afternoon because it fit well with Dan’s schedule and Dan would not be tired. Dan is a close family friend and therefore Dan was not nervous while talking to me. I introduced the assessment like a game. In addition, I told…

I am of course old enough to remember when festivals still retain a whiff of their alternative roots. How far have we travelled from those calm, peaceful tranquil and lens flared days. The meaning of carnival has changed dramatically over the period of time. Carnival has always been and would continue to be the show for the elite in society.

The production I was involved in this semester was My Son Pinocchio. The music and lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz and the book by David Stern.

The uttermost specific case of this excitement is when we rented out a school for a warm Saturday afternoon, nonetheless in December, and made as much candy as we could physically muster.
