Finals and summer

This semester was surprising successful. After some worrying I’m sure many of us experienced with the short semester and all, I think we all made it. This semester and even this entire year was full of experiences, activities, and surprises. Our biggest fund raiser, Oktoberfest, was a huge success and tons of fun. All of our other volunteering times and activities ended great as well. With all of my classes, extra curricular activities, and work there was so much to do, but being a QL was a great and worthwhile experience. It helped me become more involved and I’m sure it did the same for my peers. It was also for many good causes. This year I learned more about managing my time, getting done what needs and has to be done, and enjoying it along the way. As finals week begins I’m just living for Thursday, when I’m finally done, as I’m sure most of us are. Now that the learning for this semester is coming to a close, I think it’s time for some work and play as the sun shows its rays, and summer slowly but surely approaches. I know I can’t wait! I hope you take what you can from your classrooms and appreciate, remember, and incorporate, it into your lives this summer, until fall creeps upon us once again. Until then: enjoy, have fun, and always be safe.

For the green thumbs on campus….

The Library had great intentions of giving away green stuffs last week for Earth Day, but as that one guy wrote, the best laid plans, yadda yadda.

As we see this school year end, we’re giving away starts! Stop by the library to pick up little sprouts of a marigold or an indoor houseplant.

First come, first serve… and please, don’t be greedy. One per taker. J

Great year for Kelsey

Hey! I cannot believe this semester is almost over. It is hard for me to believe that I will be graduating in a matter of a few days. For me this semester, all the final tests and projects are very stressful and overwhelming. I have been doing a lot of studying and finishing projects lately. I have loved all the help from my professors, though. They understand a lot and have been helping me constantly. This has been such a fun year at Central Wyoming College. I have loved it.

Final blog for Christina

Hey everyone! It’s Christina again and I thought that I would write this final blog for CWC. That’s right! I finally get to graduate this spring and I am counting down the days. Literally…there are only 5 days left! I usually talk about what’s going on around campus and what I have been up to but this time I kind of want to talk about more important things. Things I could have done different while being here at CWC and things that I should have done.

Graduating this spring is a great thing but I really wish that I could have told myself to do homework right after it was assigned because doing it now is really kicking my butt. I have so much homework to get caught up on that I don’t have time to go and chill with my friends are have the time to make Easter cards for my family back home. So for those of you who are reading this, DO YOUR HOMEWORK A.S.A.P.!! That will give you time to do more fun things here at CWC at the end of the semester!

Things that I wish I would have done here at Central are Student Senate, Hacky-Sack Club, Intramurals and more out of town trips that college provides; like ski trips and going to Denver! I think that if I would have participated in more of these I would have made a ton more friends!! Being on Student Senate would have been neat as well because I would be able to come up with activities and have more of an ability to get students involved. Why Hacky-Sack club? Honestly, it would just be nice to learn! I am pretty uncoordinated so I could stand some help in that area! Playing more intramural things would have been fun because I like to be active and I am really competitive so being able to take my school stress out playing intramurals would have been a great way for me to relax! I never went on a Denver trip while I was here at CWC but I really wish that I would have gone. Every one of my friends that ever went to Denver on a field trip had a blast!! I suggest to anyone that goes to CWC to go to Denver just for the heck of it. I love to ski too and the college gets great discount prices!! So hello! Go on a ski trip while you’re here at Central!! Especially if you like to ski or board!!

Well I have to get going but I really did have fun here at Central Wyoming College. I met amazing friends, incredible faculty and inspiring teachers. Thank you to all the wonderful people that helped me get through my two years here at Central!! And YAY!! I am graduating!!!

End of the semester

Oh my gosh! Another semester almost done and in the bag! I can't believe the semester was so short, sweet, and to the point! It feels awesome getting out of class this early. This semester has definitely had its ups and downs but it's been pretty fun seeing everyone around campus. I'm going to miss everyone this summer! I will not be graduating this semester but I will hopefully see everybody in the fall!

I'm pretty excited for taking "Best of Category" in the Graphic Design and Photography II/III categories of the CWC Student Art Show. There were so many entries and so many good pieces, I'm not sure how the judge ever decided! If you get the chance, stopping by before it is taken down April 21st. I'm sure you'll agree after you see all of the great works done by CWC students.   

Well everybody have a good and safe summer!

Looking back over the past year

So the end of the year is coming nearer and for some reason all the teachers think that it’s time to pile on the homework and tests. Something I have quite understood. Either way I have been super busy with school, work and getting ready to graduate. Since graduation is coming nearer, I thought this would be a great opportunity to tell my 20 best memories at CWC.


Top 20 Memories at CWC:

1. Riding ponies at Professor Patti Stalley’s house for the Equine students BBQ.

2. Completed Mrs. Pryor dressage final with high scores!

3. Riding my bike to Shoshoni! Even though my legs hurt for days!

4. Skiing at Grand Targee in over 3 feet of powder!

5. Getting an advanced on the indoor climbing wall!

6. All my speeches in Public Speaking especially 3 reasons to date me and how to win the lottery without spending a dime!

7. Cracking an egg over my little sister’s head 

8. Going to the X Games in Aspen, Colorado!

9. Playing club soccer with ALL those boys!

10. Shooting a shotgun and hitting a clay pigeon!

11. Preparing my first steak and homemade ice cream!

12. Helping with PBS Wyoming TV!

13. Surviving a “Horse Packing Trip”! Included losing a sleep bag, following a grizzly and having a pathetic tent!

14. Learning to climb in Sinks Canyon and Wild Iris!

15. Taking some AWESOME photos in Black and White class.

16. Dressing my horse up as Fred Flintstone for class!

17. Endless hours in the library studying for EXTREMELY HARD tests and EXTREMELY EASY tests!

Wyoming author on campus Thur. April 14

 

Wyoming author Laura Bell presents her memoir, “Claiming Ground”, on Thursday, April 14 at 3:30pm in the Little Theatre.

In 1977, Laura Bell, at loose ends after graduating from college, leaves her family home in Kentucky for a wild and unexpected adventure: herding sheep in Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin. Inexorably drawn to this life of solitude and physical toil, a young woman in a man’s world, she is perhaps the strangest member of this beguiling community of drunks and eccentrics. So begins her unabating search for a place to belong and for the raw materials with which to create a home and family of her own. Yet only through time and distance does she acquire the wisdom that allows her to see the love she lived through and sometimes left behind.
