Groundhog Phil is forecasting six more weeks of winter.

As here in New Paltz winter seems to be a no laughing matter, we have to find a way to deal with it.

Fortunately we are getting familiar with the campus, learning how to move crossing buildings, in order to keep indoor most of the way.

: Stairs

: Cold, cold, cold!!

Here are some picture from the maze of corridors and stairs, between the Business School and the Student Union Building.

The Place to Study

There are quite a few things to do as we approach the end of the study part of the program. And to get things done, you need to be able to focus. The way I do this is to select a place dedicated to studies, and studies only. That way, whenever I go there, I get into “study mode”. On campus this spot happened to be second floor of the Student Union Building, or the Atrium as it’s called. Apart from all the space available and the peaceful environment, the opening hours are very generous; from early morning to 1AM during weekdays, and 11PM on weekends I think. Try it out; you might be able to get a whole lot of work done in no time!

The funny thing is I wrote this earlier today without posting. When I got over there to post and do some homework Andreas, Filip and Nicklas were actually sitting there! Somehow I feel less productive than usual..

Last week of studies, last week in New Paltz!

Saturday and only (five!!) whole days to go until we leave New Paltz and head for NYC for new experiences and internships!

Since it’s the last week of studies there’s a few things to do. Not only exams but also presentations and homework. Even though it’s going to be nice being finished with homework, exams etc. I think we’ll miss New Paltz in a few weeks with its’ nature and nice people. It’s going to be a big change moving into NYC but it’s a change that I think we are all up for!

At the moment a few of us are studying at the top of the Student Union Building, which is a really nice place to study actually. It feels a bit like a greenhouse but you really have a great view!
