Well, well, well. What a tremendous semester for Phonathon! I find myself, sadly, writing this last blog, trying to hold on to what memories I have from Phonathon. Haha! Yeah RIGHT! There’s a whole other semester of calling on the way! With calling starting up again in February, I think I’ll be at a loss during J-Term. What to do when you’re not earning money for your favorite college, helping others receive a hidden scholarship of over $4,000??? Being my first J-Term here at Messiah, I decided to give it my all and sign up for a full spring schedule as well as a class to take during January. So, in between studying the Economics of Social Issues, eating and sleeping, there has to be be some room for in there for entertainment. Oh, yes. Coming from Maine, where we use sleighs and snowmobiles more that cars and bikes during the winter, I need some way to fulfill my winter itch: skiing. What better opportunity to hit the “slopes” than our local hill: Round Top. Now, granted, I know skiing in southern Pennsylvania isn’t exactly up to par with the beautiful mountains in Maine, but when asked if I’d prefer being able to ski vs. not skiing….my answer would be ski.
Coming back next semester will be a time of change for the Phonathon with the introduction of Lori Breighner, the new Phonathon coordinator. We all are excited to begin working for Lori, but we will miss Anthony very much.
Messiah is a great place to be! Working for Phonathon is just as great as well…think about it - you’re at Messiah, helping other students who are attending Messiah, what could make for a better combination? Skiing in Maine, and attending Messiah while working for Phonathon.
