The Ultimate Return.

It is my sincerest hope that all has been well with you- my esteemed readers. It is with relief that i finally make a debut to this semester's blog post. As you may have guessed, its been a rough spring semester for me...totally rough. Not that Colgate isn't a nice place.....noooooo...its just that i have been extremely busy but things are starting to loosen up. I mean it's part of the whole college experience and again who said that life will always be smooth. We all encounter ups and downs at one time or the other. Anyway, too much of what has been happening to me, let me now get down to business.

This semester has been kinda AMAZING for me apart from the unpredictable weather that we continue to experience. For me it all started with the participation in this group called NCBI. This group is absolutely new on campus and its main agenda will be to create coalitions across campus which i think will be an amazing thing for all students on campus. Next on line was the commemoration of the founders of the ALANA Cultural Center. This event was characterized by alums from all years since 1969 to date. We enjoyed a cocktail social before having dinner at the Ho science Center. It was more than amazing to hear the stories of how the cultural center came to be....and i convey my sincerest Respect and Gratitude to those who devoted their time to make sure that a cultural center came to be.

The Semester that was.

And let it be white with snow.

"Snowflakes, like people, are all different and beautiful, but they can be a nuisance when they lose their identity in a mob"

United we stand divided we fall.

He who experiences the UNITY of life sees his own self in all beings, and all beings in his own self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

Global Warming.....!

It's become a tradition at Colgate to have a summer reading assignment for the incoming first year students. This year the committee responsible for selecting the summer reading book, led by our very own 'mum' of the first year students, Dean Beverly Low, decided to choose Tim Flannery's book- 'The Weather Makers.'

Dreaming on your feet

Indeed, dancing is like dreaming with your feet.  Dancing every Tuesday night for the past 4 weeks has been like dreaming with my feet. I just couldn't picture myself dancing at Colgate, so I always stroll to Little Hall room 209- the venue for my P.E class, gyrating my body and occasionally doing my two steps as i contemplate the new dance moves for the night.

The Introduction

Undoubtedly, life is a celebration of awakenings, of new beginnings, and wonderful surprises that enlighten the soul.
