 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| Universities around the US all have different start dates to their academic year, but one common factor to them all is their “Week 0,” or “Welcome Week,” to ease returning students back into the swing of school, and give first year students a general idea of the school and its surroundings. Choose a college or university near you and design a welcome week (7 days) for your fellow bloggers! Grr! My first draft of the response to this prompt disappeared.... I clicked "save" and, poof, no more blog entry... Sigh, it's gone...Okay, attempt number two... The closest campus to my residence is in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Both Nipissing University and Canadore College share this campus. North Bay is a town that bills itself as The Gateway to the North, and it's situated on lovely Lake Nipissing. Day 1 will be a six-hour cruise of the lake aboard the Chief Commanda. Day 2 will be a charity car wash with the students strategically located about the town. Day 3 will see a volunteer fair in which students will be introduced to local organizations that need volunteers. This could be combined with a community barbecue. Day 4 will be a day full of intra-mural activities and fun. Teams will be formed based upon course enrolment. There will be various races, relays, and more. Day 5 will be an introduction to the local indigenous community with a pow-wow, and blessing. Day 6 there will be a street hockey tournament pitting the staff against the students. Day 7 will be a pub crawl starting with the campus pub. Students will learn about local bus routes and taxi companies. Of course, the local police force will be in attendance to enforce safety. |
