Tweet from a Covenant student...

School has been in session for a month and now you decide you want to use power point to teach? Nothing to do with having previewers, I bet.

It's Campus Preview Weekend...

Covenant students eagerly anticipate dinner in the Great Hall.

We're back!

After a long hiatus over the summer and much deliberation over whether we should come back, we have decided that it is for the best. We might not be posting as much as previously, but what we lack in quantity, we make up for in quality.

Just a couple Covenant students observing our school's quirks.

Overheard in the Tech Services office...

Random girl: *comes to doorway of office* Could I take these? (Referring to old computers sitting outside the door) Maybe burn them on the chapel lawn?

Tech services person: Well...um...we don't condone that type of activity...but whatever has been thrown away is not really our concern anymore.

Random girl: I could just contact some of my Catacombian homeboys and get them down here to do something with them.

Tech services person: We don't encourage that type of activity, but...

Random girl: Don't worry, I'm just being annoying. It's what I do best.

Tech services person: Being annoying? Is what you do best? Alright...

Random girl leaves the doorway.

Happy Sutherland Day...

But really, how did you get the banner on the library?

[lifeatcovenant]

Turn in all the big projects and papers for class...

What do I do with my life now? 

[lifeatcovenant]

Get close to finals...

Forget to post for about three weeks.

Decide that the zombie apocalypse has begun at Covenant...

Clean out Walmart buying supplies.

That awkward moment...

when a previewer tries to crack jokes in your class.

Students come down with mysterious stomach bug...

It was either Student Appreciation Day on the Chapel Lawn with the Petting Zoo, or Student Appreciation Day in the Great Hall with Chartwell's S.A.D. leftovers.

[lifeatcovenant]

Only half the class shows up to your first class...

People must still be recovering from the food comas of Student Appreciation Day. 

[lifeatcovenant]

Happy S.A.D.

Best day of the year!
