Hockey Night Part Two!

 Just a quick update - I just got back from the Men's D1 Hockey Game vs. Air Force and WE WON!!!! It was a great game, we won by a margin of just one goal, 3-2. The student section will tell you that there may have been some questionable calls....but hey, what kind of student section would we be if we didn't? ;-) We were very loud and definitely proud to be Mercyhurst Lakers!
Anyways, it was Mustache night tonight - so since I can't grow a mustache, I made one :) I even added a little blue behind it! Not only is blue one of my favorite colors but it's also one of our school colors - Blue, Green & White.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
It's a Mercyhurst Mustache!!

Again, my mustache for the Hockey game!

Hockey Night at Mercyhurst College!!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you've been having a great week! I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to lately! This week was our last week of classes. So I turned in my portfolio, and my curriculum this week. Now this weekend I'll be finishing up my Geology paper, and studying for my Geology final and Promoting Literacy final. Both my finals are on Monday - but I'm not too worried, I've been studying this week and I feel prepared for both!
Tomorrow is Open House here on campus! Because I'm an Ambassador I will be working Open House tomorrow giving tours to prospective students and their families! Open House is always a lot of fun, there are tours, talks given by admissions, you can meet faculty and staff from all the different majors and departments on campus and there are even some of our student clubs represented too! Maybe if you are coming I will get to meet you! If you see me feel free to come up and say hi! I'll be in my spiffy green Ambassador jacket.
Now, on to what is really exciting - HOCKEY!! Last weekend our Men's D1 team had two huge Hockey games against UConn here on campus! It was so much fun! A bunch of students got together on capus and decided to theme the Saturday night game "Classy" night - so we all dressed up super nice and went to cheer our boys on to Victory for a sweep! :) This weekend we had two games, again and tomorrow's game is themed Mustache night. My roommates and I are just going to make paper mustaches and wear them, haha! But it should be a good time! I'm off to finish working on my paper now... but tomorrow night is a Hockey Night at Mercyhurst!! GO LAKERS!

Halloween and Movember!

Hey Everyone :)

In case you were starting to think I hadn't partaken in spooky activities this weekend, I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I had my best Halloween ever! I had two pretty awesome costumes - if I may say so myself! Friday night my friend had a costume party so I dressed up as Raggedy Ann. I bought the dress and shirt from Salvation Army, and then added the heart and pockets, and yarn belt! I also had my roommate braid yarn into my hair. I wasn't into wearing a wig and I read the blog ABeautifulMess - which has great DYI tips and that's actually where I got my costume idea from! Then on Monday night I dressed up as a "Party Animal" - again a borrowed idea from a friend who did it last year, but I made it my own! I found a tutorial on Youtube for leopard makeup, wore a fun party dress and teased my hair (which didn't last very long). Most people thought I was Ke$ha.... but hey she's a party animal so I guess I was on the right track!

Now it's November! (Crazy already!) And as you may or may not have heard it's "Movember" or "No Shave November". Just as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - November is Prostate Awareness Month for men! A lot of guys will grow mustaches or not shave for the whole month in order to raise money for the cause! Pretty neat :) Here is the official Movember website! So I won't be growing a beard or mustache this month - but I'll definitely be supporting those who do! :)
Have a great week (and Happy Movember!)
Party Animal with a Gryffindor!
Raggedy Ann!
