Hello One And All! :)


Hello everyone!

My name is Ashley Bourdeau. I am from Saint Albans, Vermont and attended high school at Missisquoi Valley Union High School. I am a Freshman here at Johnson State College majoring in Elementary Education and work in the Admissions Office. I was thrilled when I found out that Johnson was creating a blog for students and perspective students to be able to witness life on campus from the viewpoint of current students. I plan on posting as often as I can about my life on campus, experiences, and activities.

Please feel to contact me if you would like to. Looking forward to meeting you all! :D

Warmly,
Ashley :)

The week is winding down.

Hey everyone,
So I missed a post yesterday, I had two exams to study for so that took priority sadly. Nothing too new to report here on campus, two days until break officially starts though for most it's only one. Another thing I love at this school: almost no classes are held on Friday.
I really am not sure what else to report today. Everyone is getting ready for Death of a Salesman, a lot of my very good friends and roommate all work in Dibden (our theater) and they have been working hard since about 9 this morning to get everything set for the show at 8 tonight. It's been abnormally warm the past few days, 70's at least, some love it others just want the snow to come. I say let it cool down, but that's just me. I had mentioned my flannel the other day and I have been seeing even more of them out. On my way to class today I stopped and gave my friend a hug and a kid turned to us and said "Hey guys, wanna wear red flannels today? OK." and the three of us stood there in our matching red flannels, loving life.
Well I suppose that is enough rambling for now. I will leave you with this picture I took yesterday (sorry about the quality it was on my phone) of my Wellness and Alternative Medicine class. We had a guest speaker who talked to us about herbalism, and then took us outside and showed us the plants we have around and what you can do with them. Johnson is one of only a handful of schools in the country that offers a Wellness and Alternative Medicine major and it is a great program. I highly recommend looking into it, or even just take a class and see what you think, that is what I am doing.

This is my first post so bear with me please :). I am hoping to post daily, though it could end up weekly, we will see how it goes.

Hey all!
I am here in the SGA sipping on a nice warm cocoa, after my fresh apple snack, wearing my Patriots sweats, and favorite flannel. Fall is in full swing here at Johnson State, athletes are working hard, everyone is getting out the Uggs and hoodies, and not a single person can ignore the colors. The campus is buzzing about apple piking, pumpkin carving, the games won, lost, and about to come. Not to mention our first break is now less then a week away! Alumni weekend was this past weekend and the campus was as full of life as ever. This week Death of a Salesman is going to be here with the one and only Christopher Llyod, we have our usual movie showing (Avatar this week), our Thursday night Open Mic, and of course lots of games for soccer, tennis, rugby, volleyball, and golf.
I took a few pictures of the storm that is brewing overhead and the colors that we are seeing every day. There will be more to come!
