Hot Dogs for Thanksgiving

November 30th, 2011 · No Comments · Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

Apologies for not writing sooner. Life has been crazy as usual but with nothing super exciting. Just a lot of exams and busy work for my classes. Since finals are approaching, I need to buckle down on my schoolwork and stop procrastinating (which I am very good at).   So what’s new with me? Let’s see.  Well [...]

Phi Beta Delta

Tonight I was inducted into Phi Beta Delta, the national honors society for international studies.  It was a nice evening and really put my study abroad into perspective a bit more. I am privileged as a student to have been to as many places as I can.   Our guest speaker was a peace activist from Northern Ireland. His [...]

Goodbye Stacey

November 8th, 2011 · No Comments · Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

Tonight is Stacey’s last night on campus. She’s our area coordinator and she will be greatly missed.  Although I’m really excited for her new position at Lehigh and I love constant change, I didn’t really want change in the middle of my semester.  For now, we will be without an area coordinator. Being an RA [...]

Madness

November 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

So much madness this week!   First-KNIGHT MADNESS TOMORROW!  I decided to volunteer at Knight Madness this year and help out the resident hall council in setting up the event.  This should be absolute madness I’m sure. Lots of running around and little tasks to do. I look forward to an opportunity to win an [...]

Half way there!

October 28th, 2011 · No Comments · Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13, Uncategorized

We’re about half way through the semester and it’s a weird feeling. I honestly feel like I just got back on campus and I’m leaving again in less than 100 days for Ireland. I just bought my flight today and all I have to say is WHAT THE HECK! So expensive and it was a [...]

Places I want to go this spring and why…

October 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Majors Abroad Programs, Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

So, I have started looking where I want to go this spring when I’m in Ireland studying abroad at the University of Ulster.  I figured I should get them down on paper before I start forgetting and this is the perfect place for it. Maybe I could get some feedback if anyone has any suggestions [...]

Home again, home again diggy dig

October 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Majors Abroad Programs, Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

It’s always nice to go home and get off campus. I really misses my very cute and very smelly puppy, Josey Wales.  My family was happy to see me and I figured out a lot of things for Ireland. All I have left to do is get my financial aid straight and buy my plane [...]

Just another day

October 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Majors Abroad Programs, Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

Sometimes it’s hard to write interesting things about the activities that seem like a common occurrence. Today is one of those days. Although, once I look back at my week, I realize that I do a lot that most people would actually find interesting and fun even though I see it as just a day in [...]

First Cold of the Season

October 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Majors Abroad Programs, Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

I love that fall feeling where you can walk outside in a sweater without wearing a jacket over it…or rock the sweatpants that have been waiting under my bed for the summer. Unfortunately, with chilly weather comes colds and I’ve got my first of the season. Although it isn’t very pleasant, I did have a very enjoyable [...]

The Recent Discovery of ASAA

September 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Majors Abroad Programs, Sport Psychology - Beccah Shaffer '13

I had an experience I was searching for on Thursday when my RA friend, Claire, took me to an ASAA meeting. I was excited early in the year to join the club but couldn’t because I had night classes Thursday. To my luck, every Thursday class for the rest of the semester was canceled and [...]
