ITS OVER!
Hello Faithful readers!
Sorry I have not been posting in a while as It has been a crazy month! Its funny how everything just seems to happen all at once! I am going to tell you about the Leadership Retreat I went on at the beginning of the month just to catch you up. We traveled south to Bastrop, TX where we were invited to a ranch and got to mingle with some cattle :). It was a great trip! We learned about team work, working with different personalities, had an opportunity to understand ourselves better, and participated in team building activities. This was definitely a great opportunity that we had and I encourage all of you to take advantage of any and all opportunities you can! When we arrived, we were greeted with some lunch and went straight into our workshops. The ranch was decorated with Christmas all around so it was a beautiful country scene. Great to get away and get to know some fellow classmates. We got a tour of the ranch, received really good business advice and lessons, and just some good southern hospitality once again. There was nothing but 500 acres of land and wide open spaces
This is a picture of how wide open and nice out it was. There were a lot of cows grazing through the grass!
These are just a couple photos of what we did in our free time. It was a great weekend. I learned alot about myself and other personalities. I learned how people need to learn to work together and what kind of leader I am. I also set new goals and had a chance to review what I have done the last couple of weeks. It was a really great opportunity.
I will check in with you all soon!

Tis the Season
Happy December 1st everyone!
Its that time of year when everyone gets ready to go home for the holidays. Finals are coming up as soon as next week. It is a busy time for staff and students. Personally, I cannot wait to go home for my much anticipated month off! The leaves have fallen off the trees, and the cold is moving in...well for the Texans.. I am from Canada, the weather is just a brisk autumn afternoon to me. :)
My favorite thing about Northwood is the trees! It feels like an oasis in the desert, a nice get away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
As Finals approach, that is meaning for only one thing! A little holiday Cheer, on Tuesday the students were treated to a little comedy and cocoa.. It was a really great event. There is always stuff to do on campus. The Campus Activities Board (CAB) really keeps everyone entertained.
My fellow dorm mates and I decided to spread the Christmas spirit with some decorations we found in the hall closet.
Brittani and a couple others did a great job making our dorm look really inviting :)
My Cool Stocking that our Awesome RA made for us! It says Merry Christmas in Chinese!!! I wish you all a Happy Holiday as you get ready for this final Break!
Talk to you soon!!!!
