from current students to graduates of 1955

last night was so much fun, i went with the alumni office to a hotel in milwaukee for an enriching lives, educating students event. there were alums from 1955 all the way until 2007. it was so much fun to meet alums from every generation and learn their ripon story. each persons story is so differnt.
i also love the staff we had a great time both at the event and in the car there and back. we learned lovely laffy taffy jokes from my boss eric and just laughed the whole time.
today tommorrow saturday and sunday are going to be a mix of craziness and fun. i have 3 practices today we have to get ready for our big tournament this next weekend!!! i have to write an english paper on langston huges, a politics paper on immigration, study for a politics, history and possibly a latin midterm.
but my friend patty and i are going to downtown saturday to eat ice cream and do some shopping. and on saturday night we are going to build a fort so she can stay over b/c my roommmate is in NY for the weekend!
enjoy the day

just another tuesday

well i have one week to get ready for my new speech, it seems like no time at all but i have so many meetings with my coaches that i know it will be fun when we go to nebraska next week! i dont have to work as much this week, but i am going with the alumni office to milwaukee tommorrow which will also be fun.
last night i wrote a history paper about the new deal, i love writing for that class because i learn more about history when i have to do research for the paper, it also helps me study for next weeks midterm.

Hey!

hi, my name is Sara Sisco and i am a freshman at Ripon College. what will surprise you is that i have moved to Ripon Wisconsin from Encinitas California, a suburb of San Diego. YES!!! i know its a huge move but thats ok because, well simply put Ripon is an amazing place! my roommates are awesome people (all from wisconsin, so they love to laugh at me when im cold) and my classes are even better than i thought that they would be. i havent mentioned my major, but its politics and government! so you want to debate the issues, i would love to. i love anything to do with politics and the world as a whole. i am on the speech team which is a bunch of fun and i will update about that a bunch. i work in the admissions office as a tour guide and a visit coordinator and then in the alumni office calling alumni about donating money to our awesome college. ok probably one of the biggest adjustments was the weather, and let me tell you its cold, so if you love wearing your flip-flop about 360 days a year you will hate the weather but if you want change then come to ripon. though it isnt snowing right now there is probably almost 2 feet on the ground and its bitter cold but you get used to it. ok well i probably should go be a stellar student and do my homework!
