Saturday Squirrel.

Sipping away

Do our furry friends ever get thirsty? After all, eating all those nuts, must make one a bit thirsty, right? Well, they do! Recently, a squirrel was spotted on south quad taking a sip of rain water that collected in the cleft of a landscaping rock by Howard Hall. On taking a sip of rainwater, this squirrel non-verbaled, "These acorns are making me thirsty!"

St. Edward's...

In the making: A gentleman troubadour

... Park has seen a lot over the centuries. Wait, where is St. Edward's Park? St. Edward's Park is the green space in front of St. Edward's Hall that extends from the Main Building to Zahm and Cavanaugh Halls. At one time, there was a fountain in the middle of the park along with geraniums that spelled out in cursive "St. Edward's Park." Today, the fountain and geraniums are gone, but now, there are spike ball nets, hammocks, and blankets with residents playing, studying and napping a bit too. But you can also see others taking advantage of the park, and that's exactly what Gabriel Yallaly was doing recently. Taking his guitar to the park to practice, and maybe panhandle too, Yallaly strummed away so that sweet sounds wafted in the air amid the other noise of the park. On playing his guitar in St. Edward's Park, Yallaly, Steds freshman and resident Illinoisan, shared, "Playing guitar outside with the cool air and leaves of the trees moving from the breeze beats playing in my room."

Taking ...

Mackey: "Fixing" to get his study on...

... midterms is not easy work. It requires tremendous energy to focus and prep for one, two, maybe even four or five midterms. And if that wasn't enough, throw in a paper or two as well! Suffice it to say, this output of mind energy requires an input of energy in the form of food, specifically Raising Cane's. A hall favorite, Cane's was served in the Flounge following the Hall Government council. So, attending the hall council meeting, then staying for the energy food and conversation, was a study break in the end. On Raising Cane's for a midterms study break, Kyle Mackey, Steds junior, pictured above with thumbs up, and resident Texan, shared, "Nothing resets your brain more between midterms like some chicken tenders and Cane’s sauce!"

... and so are others!

The secret...

Okay, you got my attention...

... is out. In the build up to the showdown with Boise State, NDBarstool made a little ditty where Steds made an appearance. Yes, Steds! In the poking of fun at the blue and orange of Boise, the green and gold of Steds played its part to deliver a laugh and, well, the truth some would say. On the making an appearance in NDBarstool, Ryan Davey, Steds junior, Hall President, and resident Pennsylvanian, declared, "I saw that, it gave me a good laugh. No disrespect to Boise State, but that’s just how the people feel about Yacht Dance.”

... so true!

The best part...

Having a second cup, if you don't mind

... of studying in the Gregorian is Starbucks in your cup! Currently, thanks to generosity of Starbucks's Caffè Verona coffee is now being served in the Gregorian Lounge's coffee machine, and suffice it say, there's a whole lot more studying going on that second floor lounge! There's no doubt that the appearance of this bespoke coffee, coupled with pumpkin spice, has been not only cause for great rejoicing but also a reason to have another cup and do a bit more reading and or reviewing of this or that. On the appearance of Starbucks coffee in the Gregorian coffee machine, Henry Mackie, Steds sophomore, Hall Vice President, and resident New Yorker, stated, "Our donors demand quality, right down to our coffee. Thank you!"
