Sniffing the air, Fall's coming!

G'day Everyone!

Ever step out into the morning sun (or shade of the trees), sniff the air, and then sense there's a change in the season? Yep, there is a sense of the Fall 2009 season about to happen soon. Makes you feel like we haven't gone through the hot dog days of August yet.
But open your newspapers and you'll see advertisements by stores like K-mart, Target, Wal-mart, and Staples starting to have specials on the Back-to-School sales. You can hear the THOUSANDS of kids and adults do a collective *GROAN* about school. Elementary and high school students *hate* school until they graduate and then when they're in college, they'll miss it like crazy and wish they didn't hate it so much.
College students have to take the responsibility of homework MORE SERIOUSLY than before.
But in this age of economics, I would encourage college students to drink less, study more, and go for being the honor student status. All that hard work pays off of getting a major job offer.

But sadly, the older adults are making their way back to college after fruitless job searches. Why? Because the industry is changing and many positions are either gone or disbanded temporary. I was considering going back to school this fall, but decided against hope of taking the fall semester for job hunting one last time.

Between now and the next few weeks, many colleges will begin having football camps to train the incoming freshmen players and preparing for the college football season. For Joe Paterno of the Penn State Nittany Lions, it should be a good year. That is if Ohio State University beats USC in a game that's going to be most watched on TV very closely.
This season will be an important one for the Gallaudet University Bisons. Head Coach Ed Hottle will be on the hot seat since last season had more losses than wins. Will our Bisons be ready to take on many of the Division 3 teams? Or will more losses mean it'll be Coach Hottle's last season? We'll know soon enough by the time Homecoming in October happens.

It's also GU President Davila's last few months in office. I'm in hopes that the Presidential Search Advisory Committee will do their responsibilities correctly and give us some QUALIFIED candidates to be examined and questioned for the office of President of Gallaudet. I'm praying that the right person will be selected for Gallaudet University. Gallaudet's future depends on the right person being named WITHOUT a protest happening again. 2 protests are enough. A third one would be bad to happen.

So, enjoy what's left of Summer 2009. Prepare for the classes. Be ready to study hard and get great grades.
