What did they do...

Cheers from afar!

... over Spring Break? Yes, what did our Stedsmen do over break? Well, today we have a Spring Break story from our Stedsmen studying abroad. Taking their leave from Hall and campus, our juniors have embarked upon a three month vacation in various European cities. Taking a break from their rigorous coursework, a number of the Gentlemen converged on Dublin for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Oh, it was wearing of the green and wee bit more to celebrate the memory of Ireland's saint. On studying in Dublin and hosting his fellow Stedsmen during their visit, Brendan Avey, junior and Virginian, said, "Well, as they say, 'When in Dublin...' and Dublin we did!"

A new...

A nest with a view

... resident. Yes, Steds has a new resident... a mourning dove. Checking in at the window of the landing between the fourth and third floors, this mourning dove has made her nest between the window and the screen. While she may have to put up with a bit of foot traffic going up and down the main staircase, her nest couldn't be in a better place. It's protected from the elements, and no one will ever bother her. But there are questions... how many eggs will she lay? And, does she plan on moving out after finals? On the new resident, an unnamed Steds resident said, "I think she should name one of her babies, Eddie."

Your Sunday picture...

Golden

... from Notre Dame. Here's a view of the Mary and the Golden Dome from the south side of St. Edward's Park. While it is spring, the temps and weather have not reflected that, hence the lack of green buds on the trees. But surely, they're on their way! Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Saturday Squirrel.

Break time

Our furry friends are always on the go. Here and there they go but never still they be. But in a rare moment this squirrel spotted on God Quad was doing just that... standing still. Why? He was nibbling on a nut, maybe one he just found or perhaps one he buried just before winter. But whatever it was, he was standing still, enjoying his tasty treat, and of course, the view. On settling down for just a brief moment to a nut, this squirrel non-verbaled, "It's nice to take a break."

It was an...

Davidson: Not so bright eyed and bushy tailed

... early morning! Yes, it was morning for Stedsman Colin Davidson. When most Stedsmen were not stirring, this Gentleman was up, dressed, and ready for the day. But why? Was Davidson traveling? If not, then perhaps an early morning class? Still yet, may he was getting a head start on breakfast, you know, before the masses appeared? No, it was none of these things that stirred Davidson to action. Instead, it was time to go to work. Having structured his classes so that he would have NO Friday classes, Davidson was now free to have a part-time job with Starship. Yes, that's right Starship, the company that manages and operates the campus robot food delivery machines. With the "mothership," the hanger for the starships, located right behind Steds, Davidson may have had a short commute to work, but sadly, nothing could have been done for the early start to the day. On having to get up early for work, Davidson shared, "It's time to fix the robots."

What did they do...

Bifone with Andrew of Knott and Ekizian 

... over Spring Break? Yes, what did our Stedsmen do over break? Well, today we have a Spring Break story from our Steds sophomores. Taking his leave from Hall and campus, sophomore, Nicholas Bifone, New Yorker and ND Marching Band member, traveled west with to his roommate's, Aidan Ekizian, home town of Los Angeles. Even though he's an east coaster, Bifone was not the proverbial fish out of water during his recent visit as he took to California like, well, a fish to water. On his visit, Bifone said, "Being from the east coast, I’ve never truly seen mountains, like those with year-round snowcapped peaks, and that hasn’t really changed since I’ve gotten to Notre Dame. This past spring break, however, I was able to see the west coast, where it’s possible to be on those mountains and in the ocean all in one day. From Joshua Tree to Malibu, this break opened my eyes to just how much the west can offer. Randy Newman really said it best when he said, 'I Love LA!'”

Honoring a...

THANK YOU CHRIS!

... gentleman! Recently, a plaque was placed in the Gregorian Lounge honoring the man who made its recent renovation all possible, Christopher Scott '18. While not wanting a plaque, a plaque was nevertheless placed to honor and thank Chris for his underwriting of the lounge's refresh, and what a refresh it was! Although a lounge, the Greg really has become the Hall's living room with all its activity, chatter, and functions. Renovated from top to bottom, carpet to furniture, paint to pictures... and lighting, Chris' benefaction has truly made the lounge a lounge befitting Notre Dame's oldest and most storied residence hall. Still yet, the addition of a specialty coffee maker, making twenty different types of coffee, has been a real game changer too! On Chris Scott's renovation of the Gregorian Lounge, an unidentified Stedsman said, "I want to be like that gentleman!"
