I have been just over two months since I came to Belmont Abbey. Quite a bit has happened as you have seen. Classes are as expected and I finally feel settled in. Despite the fact that the school is small, there is plenty to get involved with. I try to attend most of the events on campus and take a few pictures to post. I have met a lot of cool people as well as faculty.

Since I got out and got involved, a lot of opportunities came my way. I was fortunate enough to join CAB which is the campus activities board which helps plan and schedule campus events. The campus newspaper is always looking for help and I was able to join and fill a s as the photography editor. I am able to continue to play chess here as they have a chess club. The competition is much better than in high school and I was glad to join. I also got involved with Agora which is the campus creative writing club. I enjoy their functions and get an opportunity to experience some of the campus talent. The advantage of a small school is that it tends to draw a lot of gifted people. It is great to be able to go and share in it. Students are open and of a sharing nature here and I haven’t experienced any of the petty clicks that were so rampant in high school. Classmates and upper classmen are supportive and want to see each other succeed. It was because of this that I tried for a s in SGA (Student Government Association) and I was elected as executive board secretary. It is quite an honor as a first year student and I couldn’t have done it without the support of the upper classmates.

Fall is always great for sports. In addition to cross country, there is always great soccer games and volley ball. Two thirds of the student body is involved in campus sports. If you have the will and desire, you can play a sport here. Games are intense. Scroll back and check out some of the pictures from soccer. All things considered, there is a great deal to do and ways to contribute if you wish. Mid-semester is here and it has been great so far.

Dash for Dollars

A comedian hosts a variety of games for students to compete in. They play for a chance to be in the box containing $500 and to try to grab as much as they can while it blows around. The games ranged from completing the most of a side of a rubic's cube to shooting a basketball into a hoop on your back. The winner was able to spend 30 seconds in the cash box trying to grab money out of the air to stuff in the apron. The comedian also would throw out and pass out money randomly to the audience.

Trying to catch some cash.

Counting up how much he grabbed.

BAC presents "The Mousetrap"
by
Agatha Christie

"The Mousetrap" is a murder mystery written by Agatha Christie. A new inn operated by a husband and wife is opening up for the first time. The snow is coming down hard as the guests are arriving. The inn will most likely be snowed in by morning. Not to made one would think, but there is a catch. A murderer is thought to be on the way! They had earlier and thought to be targeting someone at the inn next. When a guest is found murdered, the people at the inn quickly realize that the murderer is already there, one of them. The police think the murderer was planning three in total. Two down, one to go. Who will be the third? Will they be able to stop it from happening? Who is the murderer?

The set.

The two innkeepers are husband (man on the left) and wife (woman). The man in the center is a fellow guest.

Another guest to the right of the wife.

Love the Abbey Day

Love the Abbey Day is when most freshmen, a few teachers (mainly FYS teachers) and a few upper classmen work together to clean up BAC. Tasks can be anything from cleaning out attics, painting, washing benches and yardwork. My FYS class was responsible for washing benches and picking up trash/downed branches on the lawns by the library and the Haid.

Brushes, buckets and soap.

Lexi washing of the soap.

DJ sweeping an area that normally has a bench.

Adding some paint to the school's seal.
