Tonight there was an SMCM zombie walk, the first! It was pretty exciting and scary. They dorm stormed Prince George and it was pretty spectacular. I was on RA duty and I decided to go on rounds running away from the zombies.
It was pretty scary and fun. Definitely best zombies I've ever seen.

Zombies
Last night I gave a presentation on Zombie Preparedness. It was my RA Programming for the month of October. It was pretty awesome and thirty people showed up. I was really surprised because I forgot to put the time on the fliers that I put up. I think the key to having a good Program is giving out food, or having a topic that is funny/interesting that the students will genuinely enjoy.
Um and I might put up the pictures later either in this post or another.

An Apology
I would like to apologize to Jeremy Pevner. It has come to my attention that people actually read this blog, and I've said a lot of mean things about him, and that he is aware of this.
Jeremy is easily one of the hardest working students on campus. I don't know how he was time to put so much effort into the school and its future, while being RHC of WC and attending class. It's just ridiculous. He knows about everything going on at SMCM and can really give you an excellent summary of any campus issue.
And even though he talks a lot during SGA meeting and has an opinion on everything, I think it would really be a major loss if he wasn't around. I know that personally Jeremy has been of help to me in various ways, and the 09-10 school year is going to be a lot different without him around.
In conclusion, Jeremy I honestly am sorry for saying those things because you of all people don't deserve it.

Class of 2011 Meeting
I went to the Class of 2011 Meeting that was held tonight. Apparently I am the first person to ever attend one of their meetings. This is kinda depressing really. The meeting was about 10 minutes and they kept asking me questions about my opinions on what they were doing. It was creepy at first, but I can see where they were coming from and it was just cute after awhile :3
Also I somewhat feel bad that I have a 2010 shirt but not the 2011 shirt. Also 2009 shirt sucks. I hope that 2012 makes an awesome shirt.
Speaking of shirts, the week of November 15thish I think they are planning to be selling shirts in the campus center, and then have a "wear you shirt" day. Exciting stuff!
So, if you aren't busy you should go to one of their meetings so that they are less depressed. It's every few Mondays at 8.

5-Year Strategic Plan
I submitted feedback for the 5-Year Strategic Plan. I mostly said that a bunch of the ideas would lead to more yuppies and therefore it was bad. Here is the Plan if you want to read it
Strategic Plan Priorities Related to Mission Goals
Draft of January 30, 2008
Academic Excellence
At the core of the College’s identity is its commitment to providing academic excellence in the education of an undergraduate student population. As our mission states, we achieve this excellence through strong interactions between faculty, staff and students, small classes, experiential learning, and close student-faculty collaborations. Hence, of highest priority for our strategic planning are all issues related to the new core curriculum and mentoring that enhance teaching and learning activities. Accordingly, strategic planning must prioritize the allocation of funds in areas most critical to the College’s core mission.
Priorities
Support all components of the new core curriculum.
Identify and address needs within academic programs for additional faculty and staff
Identify and address needs within academic programs for additional equipment and other material resources
Support student and faculty research activities.
Optimize management of programs of international education
Variety of Educational, Cultural, and Recreational Experiences
Educational programs and activities outside of the regular academic curriculum enrich the learning experiences of students and can provide services that respond to the needs of the community outside of the college. SMCM provides a considerable number of educational opportunities outside of, yet related to, its regular academic curriculum. These include international education, community service, internships, continuing education, partnership programs, and the Center for the Study of Democracy. The related educational programs and activities that are offered by SMCM respond to institutional and/or community needs, are consistent with the mission and goals of the College, and through partnership programs enrich the curriculum by providing learning experiences not otherwise available at a small liberal arts college
Priorities
Provide access to opportunities on and off campus to engage students, faculty, and staff in a broad range of cultural and educational experiences
Support recreational and athletic opportunities
[Revision Coming] Intentionally create an environment both in and out of the classroom where students learn and use their knowledge and expertise
Global Engagement
The College is committed to expanding our community’s global engagement. With increasingly interconnected economies, communications, knowledge, technology, and environmental systems across the globe, a college dedicated to the liberal arts has a responsibility to provide deep and meaningful opportunities for its members to prepare to participate in the global community and to develop the disposition to do so. We believe that the study of the liberal arts cannot occur in a vacuum and so seek to both promote wide and equitable participation in study abroad experiences, and to bring the world to the campus by encouraging international students and scholars to come to St.Mary’s.
At the same time, we believe that our connection to the physical world must be grounded in a commitment to environmental stewardship, which involves recognizing and acting on the knowledge that our everyday consumption of resources and interactions with the globe affect not only our immediate environment but that of the planet as a whole. As an institution, our practices and operations must be consonant with these values and our educational endeavors must foster students’ abilities to live in the world in sustainable ways.
Priorities
Ensure individual needs and circumstances of all students are met so they can fulfill the core curriculum goals related to experiencing the liberal arts in the world
Increase global awareness by providing diverse campus-based experiences that bring the world to our community.
Be a model green campus that promotes sustainability.
Student-Faculty Interactions
As an institution we are committed to strengthening student-faculty interactions through smaller class sizes and through close collaborations between students and other students, between students and faculty, between students and professional staff. Demands such as participation in athletics, peer advising and mentoring, effective classroom work and out-of-classroom study and preparation, committee work, supporting campus activities such as Nitze talks, and other campus commitments are an increasing drain on the time of students, staff and faculty. In this context where every person amongst students, faculty, and staff has an increasing roster of responsibilities, the time required for close collaborations is condensed into fewer and fewer hours each week.
The new core curriculum offers both danger and opportunity. The danger is that as faculty re-train themselves to think more creatively about class design, including design of first year seminars, their days become so full that interaction with students on a one-to-one basis becomes compressed into fewer hours. The core curriculum’s addition of a component requiring students to use their knowledge in practical ways off campus, which will likely result in increased numbers of students completing independent studies and internships may further strain our ability to foster close collaboration even while the requirement mandates such connections. Faculty are growing so busy that adding another independent study student to their load may become the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. In such a context, many may feel that they cannot take the time to go to a student athletic event or to participate in a student-staff-faculty event. The opportunities offered by the core curriculum, however, are great. First year seminars introduce beginning students to professors in a very small class context, fostering their willingness and ability to communicate one-on-one with their professors. Broader connections across the curriculum will encourage more team-teaching across disciplines, and students may be inspired to work more closely with faculty in all areas creating their own cross-disciplinary studies.
Priority
Foster meaningful student/faculty interaction
Accessibility, Affordability, and Diversity
As an institution we are committed to enhancing accessibility, affordability, and diversity among our entire campus community. Accessibility and affordability are pre-requisites to a diverse campus. Every member of the faculty, staff, and student bodies plays a role in making progress towards a more diverse and representative campus population. In order to maintain a diverse campus, our climate on campus must welcome and support diverse populations that vary in politics, ethnicity, race, and philosophy. Supporting the needs of diverse populations may require further education: education of staff and faculty – for example, in supporting the needs of young parents – and education of students – for example, in engaging in the ideals of community respect and inclusiveness.
Priorities
Enhance accessibility, affordability and diversity
Develop new revenue sources that are both consistent with the college mission and will help achieve institutional goals.
Provide professional development to faculty and staff that supports the needs of a diverse student population.
Intentionally develop and promote a campus climate through programs and initiatives designed to not only attract and retain a diverse group of faculty and staff, but also to support, appreciate and celebrate diversity, in all its forms.
Community Built on Respect
At St. Mary’s College, we believe that a cohesive community should share a sense of mission and a commitment to strive toward common goals. Individuals within such a community should embrace the mission, and at the same time appreciate and respect each others’ differences. The recent growth of the College has increased stress and reduced the opportunities for communication across campus. At the same time, financial constraints have limited our ability to adequately recognize everyone’s contributions. This lack of cohesion is unhealthy and inefficient. Valuing the dignity of everyone’s work and improving the sense of respect and mutual responsibility among the students, faculty, staff, administration, and board of trustees will create the open, cohesive community we desire. As a result, we will see improved morale, increased productivity, greater respect for the campus and its surroundings, and higher retention of both students and employees.
Priorities
Create a community which values differences of all types (class, ethnicity, nationality, religious belief, sexuality, age, etc.)
Promote an environment of open and respectful dialogue in which campus issues are identified and addressed
Develop ways for conducting difficult conversations

SMCM Gossip Girl
Someone started this blog a few days ago http://smcmgossipgirl.blogspot.com/ and they left it in one of my comments. I don't know who they are, but I have some theories. More importantly, I wish it had better writing. It's a cute writing style, but also somewhat annoying. Also, the post about kids outside PG getting busted was....lackluster at best, really devoid of any good information. They don't even use names!
Regardless, I wish them the best of luck.

Redesign
I realized that the blog looked really shitty, so I redesigned it. Just plain white, I might change it around, but I think getting rid of that picture of the Garden of Remembrance was a good idea.
Also I was just in the RA office and someone asked me how to spell neighbor. :3

Block Party!
The Residence Halls on the Hill (Prince George, Caroline, and Dorchester) hosted a block party yesterday afternoon. It was pretty excellent. There was pumpkin carving, food, Hawk Radio, beer goggles, and most important of all
Free Shirts. It was the blue ones from Monday.
Highlights:
-I was carving my pumpkin, which said SMUT SLUT, and Dean Bayless walked over to see what it said, and I carefully covered the SLUT portion. Very awkwards
-Jesse Lee, Adam K., and the French kid in my Chinese class cooked food. They ran out of veggie burgers really early on so I ended up not being vegetarian for a half hour, since I wanted food and the Great Room closed early. Also they didn't have condiments until the very end :[
-A first year yelled "fuck you" at someone during the contest to win a "super sober safe sex shirt"; it was really awkward and weird. And somehow Karina remembered all of the alcohol awareness events from the week.
-Chris Rodkey and I made caramel apples. They were delicious
Overall it was pretty enjoyable. If you want to see my pumpkin, it is in Chris Rodkey's window or the RA office window

Free Shirts!
Today at the Campus Center Candice was giving out free shirts. It's part of alcohol awareness week. I really liked the color of the shirts. I don't know how the health center gives out so many free shirts, because at the moment I have 3 different shirts from the health center.
Like I said they were an awesome color, but the message on them was pretty tacky. 10 reasons not to get drunk etc. The message is okay but I can't imagine wearing it after college I guess. I can't really imagine wearing a lot of my wardrobe after college though.
Apparently you had to play around with the drunk goggles to win a shirt, but I got there at the end and they were just being handed out.

Great Room Hours Change
I just got an email 5 minutes ago
The Great Room will close at 6:15 on Fridays
6:15

If you forgot Great Room hours, it used to close at 7:30.
Fuck this shit I hate how early the Great Room closes. It's just ridiculous. I was okay with the horrible hours on the weekends because it was the weekend. But closing early on Friday makes me want to cry. Maybe not cry but I am super angry about it. For reals brosef.

SGA Meeting 10/7
Brian Van Parys and I both dressed up. Many asked if he was going to J-Board, many said I looked beautiful. Everyone at SGA was confused and laughed. Also I got a haircut and it is very stunning and beautiful.
8:06 - Earliest a meeting has ever started!
8:09 - No students speakout today, woooo
8:10 - Guest speaker Lenny Howard. Graduated in 97'. TV noise is playing over the microphone but Jeremy Pevner, technology god, is fixing it. Okay we are good. This guy seems smart and has gone to school for a long time. He is also kinda boring :[. He is very pretty though. Kevin Baier came in late. He went to my high school, and last week he got owned pretty hard. I still don't understand what he is talking about, but I think he is here to prepare people for grad school etc. He seems really nice and like he would be really useful for hepoing you go to grad school.
8:16 - Senate Leader nominations. Apparently I have some competition. I would honestly be pretty suprised if I won. Other contenders are John Campbell, Liam Bradley, Avi Mayvill,e Lisa Neu, and Kait Hines. I think Kait would be my choice other than myself, she is really involved and pretty awesome. Ooooo I think they are postponing the vote. This is probably because people are scared of me getting elected. I mean not really, but I can pretend. They are scared of change obviously. lols.
8:35 - Fantastic Fall Festival of Fun got 500$ to spend on stuff.
8:40 - Adjourned
