Busy. enough said.

For a quick update: Midterms are over, it's getting colder in Greeley, about one month until Thanksgiving Break and a month and 1/2 until finals.

Life is busy, busy, busy. In about 20 days I'm going to a conference at CU-Boulder, so we're in the midst of preparing. The conference is for the Inter-mountain Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls. Schools from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona all attend to share ideas. At this conference I'm bidding for a position called the Regional Communications Coordinator of Presidential Relations and RHA Development. This person helps Residence Hall Associations from around the region to improve. It's a great opportunity, but will make this conference much busier than usual.

The new residence hall (the one I'm not living in) is underway. It is crazy how fast they build these buildings. It is great to see them work so quickly and to know that in just 10 months there will be two new buildings done.

Well, I have more, but for tonight that's my update.

UNC Homecoming

It was quite the week at the University of Northern Colorado. Homecoming is always exciting, especially when you're a bear. The week began with the Hanging of the Colors; almost 2000 ribbons were tied onto trees across campus. On Monday UNC participated in the normal homecoming activities- Banner Contest and afternoon BBQ. On Wednesday the Residence Halls participated in the Lobby Decorating Contest- which is judged by the Residence Hall Association Executives. We go from hall to hall and rate each lobby on a criteria comprised of sustainability, resourcefulness, use of hall mascot, incorporation of Bear Pride and the homecoming theme. It was so much fun to go from hall to hall and see the excitement in students faces. The six of us received our degrees from Superhero School in one hall and in the next partied with Buzz Lightyear and his friends. It was a jam packed evening, but it is one of my favorite things about homecoming.

On Friday RHA put on the Bonfire. It was a lot of work, but we had a good turn out and people love to come down and watch us burn the mascot for the upcoming game. After the fire dies down the firework show began played to a variety of music. Friday night, the UNC Bears Hockey Team played CU- Boulder and beat them 7-4. It was a great game!

Saturday was the busiest day. The day began with the homecoming parade. Then at 1:30 was the home football game where UNC beat Idaho St. 29-9, for our first win of the season. The week was completed with the annual Homecoming Formal, giving everyone the opportunity to dance the night away.

It was a great Homecoming.
