To all of my readers who are coming to Houghton College in the fall-hooray! I am so excited to see you on campus so soon. The year has quickly come to a close, but the time between now and the first day of classes for the 2011-2012 school year will come even faster! So, WELCOME!
I suppose you might want the inside scoop of what to expect from a real, live student. Look no further than me, Lia!

I ran it with my friends Kim Meierjurgen (’13) and Emmie Baird (’13). It was so fun!

Believe it or not, spring is here AND it is nearly the end of the year! This is our final full week of classes before we go into final exams and then may-term classes. I’ll be taking a class called Teaching in Urban America during may-term where I will be observing in an inner-city public school for two weeks along with all of the other education majors~very excited!!

This time of year, I’m reminded of the verse in Psalm that says, “Be still and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10). It is a good reminder for this time of year because students have many demands in front of them with …

We never thought it would happen, but Spring has finally come to Houghton, friends! I am so glad!
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while…things get pretty busy here at Houghton College!
Everyone just returned to campus yesterday after our second break of this semester which included Easter. It was so nice to be home in New Hampshire with my family! Let me update you via pictures on things that have been going on around here…
