A Flying Good Day

Gabrielle Malanowski '15

So all us Elmira College students are back in our home away from home, or the purple Wonderland. Each of us is an Alice wandering around trying to find out who we are and where we are going. I guess thats is what a good long Christmas vacation is does to us. Believe it or not I am litlle glad to be back, as are many of my friends. We were happy to get our Yahoo fixes we had been missing all vacation, and were happy to see all our frineds again, and get some Christmas presents. Then term two started Monday and we were all off to the races. I was having a really good day, meet my really cool scuplture teacher, and had made it through 3 of my 4 classes before noon. Though it is always when your doing great that you fall. Though in my case it was literally. On monday i missed a few steps going down the dining hall stairs while carrying a Yahoo. Me and the Yahoo were in the air, feeling the breeze keeping beneath us keeping us afloat until suddenly we weren't. It smashed and I ended up with a sprained ankle and some cuts on my hand. Though this was quite the tragety I got to meet the nice Elmira Health center staff and got in and out quickly. I'm on crutches now but I don't care I'm not gonna let this keep me from having a fun day. . . .or least I hope not.
