The semester has flown by. We’re just about at Thanksgiving break (and there is just one
week of classes afterwards.) I think we all need this break. I wish you all the best whether you are staying here or traveling home or joining friends and traveling at their homes.
Before getting to the break and The Game, though, I want to reflect back on this past weekend a bit.
Yesterday was lovely but today the temperatures will plunge and it’s already snowed a little. So consider this a head’s up for our first-years from warm states. I think everyone has a warm coat by now but you’ll see that boots, hats and gloves are additional necessities. Let me know if getting them is a financial issue for you. Get them for sure!
Also, we have Trumbull activities planned over Thanksgiving week. Let us know if you’ll be here over Thanksgiving and are interested in dinner and any other activities we’ll host.
What’s coming up in Trumbull?
Monday, November 4th, Tonight, Trumbull House: Mellon Forum 6:00 - until the last senior presentation
Tonight is our second Mellon Forum dinner for our seniors in the Mellon Forum and the first night of their presentations in the living room. We’re looking forward to our dinner hearing from Kat Berman, Cameron Martel, and Heeral McGhee.
Tuesday, November 5th, Trumbull House, First Year Reception: 9:00-10:00 p.m.
I hope all have enjoyed the wonderful weather these past few days. Now
we’re at October Break which seems to have both arrived quickly and also just
when we all need it.
For all of you: Get some sleep. Get some exercise. Catch up with friends and family and take some time to catch up on work if need be.
TrumBulletin: Oct. 7th, 2019
I hope all enjoyed Family Weekend this past weekend and that workloads are not becoming too stressed. (Yet know, October break is coming up. That can be really helpful in terms of catching up on both sleep and work.)
I hope you have gotten the courses you wish, that all is going well and that you are enjoying the start of fall, the good weather, and your courses.
For those of you new to the Northeast, savor this weather, enjoy the changing of the leaves but also do plan for colder weather and be sure you have a good coat, boots, gloves and hat for the coming winter. (Ask a northeasterner for advice on what to get). Just when the first truly cold days will hit is a bit unpredictable but I urge you to be ready by mid-October.

After returning from spring break, time always seems to whip by. Today is the last official day of classes for the semester. It’s time for Pamplona in the college, then Spring Fling, then reading week and, finally, finals.
For the moment do relax. Enjoy the (finally) warmer weather
Congratulations: Trumbull has won the Gimbel Cup
