Fall Colors

Fall has been heralded in with the coming of a new president! New changes and new seasons await, and we all hope that neither one gets too icy!

We're 3/4 the way through the semester, and it always seems that the last 6 weeks go by pretty fast, but the seasonal holidays seem to stunt the motivations for homework. Now is the time to make sure you're buckled down and not getting lax.

My mother and grandmother are going to California next week. I wanted to go with them (they're visiting an aunt there), but couldn't afford the academic price. There's no way I would be able to keep up with the required homework for that week. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

It's been getting colder and colder. I'm glad I'm in Price this year rather than Logan (no offense, Loganites!), as it's a lot warmer here. I recently got word that the North has a few feet of snow, while we've still got temperatures in the 50's with no snow, but a bit of chilly wind.

I haven't even thought about the November activity... I should get working on that. I've found that combining USU activities with the more popular community activities works a lot better than doing activities alone. FYI. We had a pretty good turnout at the October activity, but it was geared more towards those students with small children, and I'd like to have more activities which are friendly to all age groups.

I've finished a resource list of scholarship opportunities for the Price students. I'm really hoping it will help students to be able to find scholarships and school funding a little easier. I know I'll be taking advantage of some of these resources; I hope others will, too.

SIGH

The weekend was a success. The in-laws were all able to fit here in our small apartment, and dinner went off without a hitch, at least in my opinion. This next weekend, my family is all coming here for a visit. They are much smaller than my family in-law, so it will be much easier to fit and find seats.

We are all finally getting over our colds, my husband staying home from work yesterday to rest and heal a little more, while at the same time keeping anyone else from catching the sickness. I was kind of jealous, as he played games and rested all day while I had to do homework. It would have been much more fun for me if I had been able to play games, too. :0)

This week and next week I am working on putting together some resources where the Price students can go for scholarship opportunities. I am also trying to get an answer out of the main USU administration as to why extension campus students aren't eligible for the USU-sponsored scholarships that main Logan students are automatically put in for upon being accepted into the University. Price is really lacking in scholarship opportunities, so I'm trying to find ways where the students can have more access to scholarship help. If anyone has any information or ideas, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
