Trumbull Notes

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.

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. 

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
