Group shot! Not everyone, but you get the idea.

Happy 2010 everyone!

Hope you all had a great holiday break. Whether it was a whole month, a few weeks, or just a few days, I’m sure it was fun and relaxing and well deserved! I finally got to go home, a  place I haven’t been to since August. Good times were had seeing family, friends and the dogs (a new puppy spells JOY in any language). Boxing Day was a smashing success and the credit card was just as worn out as I was at the end of the spree. I was not pleased by the fact that I left for home expecting snow and found out later that Ohio got MUCH more than my hometown did. Myth = busted. Canada is NOT the land of ice and snow. Just bitter cold, maple syrup and toques. ( pronounced “tewk”). But enough about my Northern adventures, let’s get back to business:

International Events

For all of the internationals that do not have such a love affair with snow like Canadians do, the club is organizing a tubing trip on MLK day. What better way to appreciate the snow by ripping down a mountain at an alarming speed? Pictures will come next week.

Stay tuned for International club fundraisers!

Tennis Time

Spring semester can only mean “it’s game time!” Both the men and women are hitting the gym and the courts to prepare for another great season. Nationals anyone? It’s possible. Let’s make it a reality this year! Please keep stopping by for updates on match dates and come out to support us if you can.

Spring Break is coming up! Can hardly wait :)

Ski club shreds the slopes in New York

What better way to celebrate the end of exams than with a little bit of R&R? After a few pit stops and a flat tire, 30 Walsh students headed up with their gear in vans to Ellicottville, New York to take on Holiday Valley Ski Resort. Some wrong turns and a few more hours later, we made it to our rooms just in time for some night skiing. Our three-day voyage flew by all too fast, as did many of our talented skiers and boarders as they conquered the slopes. Perfect conditions and no crowds made it the best ski trip yet! (for me at least).

Alex and I on the way up.

A new cafeteria gets a thumbs up from me!

An extreme makeover: University edition must have taken place while we all went home. I came back Sunday evening to find the food section of the cafeteria redone and lookin’ fine! With more diverse food choices, more food options and our lovable waffle makers *applause*, I may be stopping by there more often.

Welcome back Rome Fall II participants!

We missed you! Another year of Walsh Italian adventures successful.

Travel Tips and Tangents

I will count the ski trip as this weeks edition.

Enjoy your first weeks of classes everyone!
