Fall Break!

 Friday, October 26th

Welcome back!  This past Monday and Tuesday, Toccoa Falls students enjoyed two days without classes!  Fall break helped me relax and feel at ease after a week of midterm exams.   Excitement has been building for Fall Break for weeks, but when it finally came, I felt that it went by way too fast!  

Me and Cristy taking a shopping break!

After a full day of classes on Friday, I went home with my friend, Cristy.  Over the duration of the break we slept, ate good food, caught up on laundry, and went shopping, hiking and to Starbucks!  I had the privilege of meeting Cristy’s family and seeing what she did around her hometown for fun.  On Saturday, we went shopping at the Northeast Georgia Outlet mall!

On Sunday, we went to her church, and I enjoyed being a part of a smaller congregation which is nice a change from what I’m used to back home.  Overall, I enjoyed being away, but it was good to return to campus too.

We found a Gazebo on our hike!

Care Package!

Everyone Loves Getting Care Packages!

Let’s face it: sometimes Wal-Mart runs just don’t compare with what your family can send you in a care package.  To college kids, getting a care package in the mail feels  basically like an early Christmas present.  A few of  the girls in the dorm have already received some great care packages from their families back home so I was excited when I saw the golden yellow slip in my PO Box!

Typical care package ideas include:

·         Crackers

·          Chocolate

·         Coffee

·           Goodies specific to your hometown

·         Supplies like extra pencils, pens or personal supplies

·         Wal-Mart gift cards

·         Breakfast foods like pop-tarts or granola bars

In my care package, my family sent me things that they knew I liked for snacks back home like Wheat Thins  crackers. They also sent me an extra roll of quarters for laundry and extra envelopes to mail them some letters back (I should probably get started on those)!

 Welcome back! This week has been very upbeat as well since we are
currently prepping for an awesome homecoming weekend here at Toccoa Falls College. 

As with most homecomings, it starts a week before the actual event with Spirit Week.  It's been a blast to participate in them—especially Monday because I got to roll out of bed and go class in my PJ's. On Tuesday, we all wore neon colors to class which caused me to wish I had my sun glasses to protect myself from the glare. Wednesday held a unique theme with our "teacher look alike"  and students rocked it! Thursday was lumberjack day (very applicable to our mountainous campus) and today is TFC spirit day! We had a number of people participating in our spirit days which made it really fun to walk around campus.  

There are lots of events going on this week so come back next week for information on how the inauguration ceremony for our 7^th President of Toccoa Falls College went, my cross country race, and the rubber duck race!
