My Spring

As I sat down to write, I realized how close my time at Oxford is drawing to a close! I am getting ready to register for classes at the Atlanta campus and already have my housing assignment. This home stretch is bittersweet. I am excited to declare my major and dig into deeper, more exciting courses. I look forward to new adventures on a new campus in the big city. However, I will dearly miss the people and place that is Oxford College, so I am making the most of my Oxford memories and having tons of fun this last semester! Over my spring break, I had an amazing experience on the Oxford College Alternative Spring Break trip. A group of 39 students and 3 staff members traveled to South Georgia to build a Habitat House and volunteer in Camden County, GA. It was an amazing bonding experience as well as a great week of service. We visited Savannah and spent some time downtown on River Street. We played games and went hiking. We went to the beach on Tybee Island, watching the sunset, gazing at stars, and then watching the sunrise. It was a happy, fun, relaxing, absolutely amazing week - probably my favorite week of the school year!

Spring is finally here!

Oxford's quad is blooming as spring has finally arrived. The campus is quiet as our students are on Spring Break! A large group of students are traveling with Volunteer Oxford to Savannah Georgia for Oxford's annual Alternative Spring Break trip, and Dr. McQuaide's Sociology in Developing Society course left for Ecuador for this eye-opening study abroad interim course. Last week Oxford's Chinese Student Association held the first annual Chinese Celebration Week to celebrate the Chinese New Year and educate the student body about Chinese Culture. Students wore their traditional Asian costumes, ate Chinese food served in Lil's, produced a Chinese New Year Gala, and had the traditional lion dance in the middle of Lil's! Scholars Finalists, thank you all so much for a wonderful weekend- I hope you were able to gain an insight into all the great opportunities we offer at Oxford and the great community we have here. Your official letters will be mailed out soon.

Fall Semester - Where did it Go!?

I have finished the first semester of my sophomore year. It's an exciting accomplishment, but it has gone by so quickly! This is my first post since the summer due to my VERY busy schedule this past semester. There has not been a dull moment in the past three months. The sophomores at Oxford are the "upperclassmen," so I have been busy as club president, research student, SI, and studying in general. The studying has to happen sometime....

I have successfully completed physics - an accomplishment I am relieved of. This class was the most challenging class I have ever had, but I am so thankful that I survived! I feel as though I can take on anything now - graduate school, organic chemistry, whatever; I have finished Dr. S physics class, and nothing can stop me now!

I've had a lot of fun this semester, too. Attached is a picture of Fall Formal. It was held at the Fox Theater in Atlanta - one of my favorite places. I used to get dressed up, go to a nice dinner, and then see a play for my birthday when I was a little younger. I love the theater. I recently saw the Nutcracker a few weekends ago, which was magical!

For Fall Break I had a lot of fun volunteering at a national park. I met some awesome new friends, including some new freshmen :) I'm super psyched about Spring Break next semester - I'm on the planning committee for Alternative Spring Break. We are going to south Georgia to build a Habitat House; last year's ASB was the BEST week of freshman year!!!

I'm about to leave Oxford for home - winter break!

Au revoir,

Susanna
