Ice Skating

On Saturday, we took an ice skating trip to Triangle Sportsplex in Hillsborough with 1st Beall.  I think all the girls had a good time and we only sustained a couple bruises from minor falls, so overall, the trip seemed to be a success.  Here are a few pictures courtesy of Megan Lamb.

3B Profiles-Su

Hi! My name is Su, and I am one of the RLAs on Third Bryan. I am from Fayetteville, NC. I have two younger brothers named Leo (16) and Andrew (6).

Here at NCSSM, I am a co-Editor-in-Chief of the Stentorian, our school paper, and president of the Body Beautiful Club. Some of my hobbies include singing, running, and writing. In my free time, I love hanging out with my friends.

My favorite foods are sushi (I AM SERIOUSLY OBSESSED), Pad Thai, and Korean food. My favorite TV shows include Modern Family, Elementary, and New Girl.

I am really passionate about topics dealing with body image. I find it extremely important for everyone to be able to love their bodies and themselves. I also am passionate towards causes like fighting hunger and poverty.

3B Profiles-Simone

Hello! My name is Simone and I’m a junior on hall this year. I’m 16 and from Matthews, North Carolina, right outside of Charlotte. A whole Trimester has passed and I’m only loving school more and more. I’ve made so many new friends and I’ve learned so many great things. Here are ten interesting things about myself:

1. My favorite food is a potato. Any type of potato is good. Mashed, Sweet, Baked, Twice Baked, Wedges and more – it all sounds good to me. Yum!
2. I play the flute in Wind Ensemble. I’ve been playing the flute for 6 years and I love it. I hope to continue playing the flute through college.
3.  My favorite subject is Chemistry. This year I am taking AP Chemistry and I was accepted into the Research in Chemistry Class. In this class, I’ll be conducting my own independent research on a topic in Chemistry. I haven’t decided what I’ll be researching yet, but I’m hoping to think of something soon.
4.  I love movies. I love movies with a passion and going to see a new movie is a favorite pastime of mine. I especially love movies that get you thinking. My least favorite type of movie is horror. EEK!
5. I am a fangirl. I love geeky TV shows, like Doctor Who, Merlin, Sherlock, and Supernatural and before I came to SMath (back when I had time!) I would spend hours watching them.
6. I have two dogs. They are both Bishon Frise’s. One is a rescue and her name is Rosie. The other is a purebred and her name is Rockette.
7. I hate slugs. I can see any other type of bug without freaking out. But I don’t like slugs. They’re just so scary.
8. I play soccer. I’ve been playing soccer for most of my life. I hope to make the varsity team in the spring and continue to play representing NCSSM. Go Unis!
9. I was lucky enough to be accepted here with my best friend, Nicole, who lives on 1^st Beall. Having a friend I already knew helped make the transition to NCSSM easier and it’s nice to reminisce about home with her.
10. I love Third Bryan!! I am so happy to live on this hall. All the girls are fantastic and Linsey is great! I look forward to living here for the rest of my two years at SMath.

Halloween

Here are a few pictures of some of the 3rd Bryan ladies dressed up for Halloween!  Even though we weren't here on Halloween night, the students still have plenty of opportunities to dress up and celebrate together.

November Hall Calendar

Here is a copy of the November hall calendar.  In both November and December, we are only here for a couple weeks, so we try to pack the activities into the time we have.  This makes for a couple of busy months, but we do a lot of fun activities.

Study Break Sign Ups

Thanks again to everyone who has volunteered to help out by sponsoring a study break or an exam dinner.  We are still missing quite a few for the latter part of the year, so if you have been meaning to sign up and just hadn't made time to do it yet, we would appreciate your help.  Here is the most up to date list I have for the rest of the year.  If you would like to claim a specific day, just drop me an email, and I will add you to this list.

Exam Time

First trimester exams are upon us, and, for many students, this means added stress and pressure.  We do a lot of things both on hall and around campus to counteract this.  On Monday and Tuesday, we will be having hall exam dinners in the lounge at 5pm, preceded by stress relief activities like popping bubble wrap and meditating.

The library is also doing a great program again this year, where they bring a therapy dog on campus for the students to interact with.  Ricky the therapy dog was on campus today from 1-2pm and will return again on Monday from 1-2pm.  Clearly everyone had a good time today!
