Stress

05 Feb 10:45 by lcaputo

As I mentioned in my first entry, there will be times when I am stressed out of my mind. The first of those times this semester is upon us now. I have a ten-minute play due on Tuesday next week, and then I am scheduled to present the complete draft of my full-length for the [...]

Visiting Holy Cross in February

03 Feb 12:37 by Admissions

When it comes to the college application process, it’s never too early to start.  At this point as a junior or younger in high school, you may not know exactly what you want in a college,  and that’s perfectly OK.  You should treat this period as your window shopping stage where you’re simply going out [...]

01 Feb 16:23 by cmcurr11

Right now, I’m the epitome of a paradox. As I sit here cuddled up in my Tinkerbell pajama pants and Disney Princess blanket whilst eating toast slathered with Nutella and drinking hot chocolate, I’m thinking about my future. Unfortunately, as much as I want to stave off reality for as long as I can, the [...]

The problem with opening e-mail attachments on your Blackberry should be now fixed. We’ve tested with dozens of file types and all work properly. Please let me know if that is not the case for you.

Thank You For Applying!

28 Jan 14:53 by Admissions

I sat down a few weeks ago, cup of tea in hand, glanced out the window at the snow coming down, and began to read files. As I moved through the stack of applications on the table before me, I encountered several notes and emails thanking the admissions staff for interviews, visits,  and advice on the application [...]

Week 2

26 Jan 05:28 by cmcurr11

It’s already Week 2 of Hilary. My goodness; these terms really do fly. I think it’s because we do so much work that we all lose track of time, an then we can’t believe our eyes when we see the calendar. I don’t know; I’m going to have to talk to some of my Psychology [...]

This Was a Short Week?

24 Jan 14:57 by lcaputo

Monday was a holiday, but honestly by Friday I had completely forgotten that I’d had a short week. It was just THAT busy. My first Tuesday class of the semester met this week. It’s basically a continuation of last semester’s short-plays workshop, just like Thursday’s class is a continuation of the full-length workshop. This semester though [...]

And Hilary Term Begins

18 Jan 04:30 by cmcurr11

I know; I’ve been lacking in witty titles as of late. Please forgive me! Well, a majority of the snow has melted, and Oxford is bustling once more with students. I really cannot believe that Hilary Term is already here. This term, I’m taking Medieval Paleography as my primary tutorial and Victorian Literature as my secondary [...]
