Hi everyone!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Rebecca McSweeney, and I am a first year student at Holy Cross! I am from Stoughton, MA, and I plan on majoring in Biology!
Currently, Holy Cross students are on Fall Break, and I look forward to having a week off after a bustling first few weeks on campus! It’s hard to believe that I moved into school six weeks ago!
Classes were certainly an adjustment; even though you are not in class for seven hours a day, there is still quite a bit of work you need to do on your own time. So, when not in class, I usually read or study in my room or in the Science Library.
This semester I am taking Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, and my Montserrat, which is “Love, Text and Performance”. I am living in Brooks-Mulledy this year; my roommate is really nice! She is on the ice hockey team here, so I plan on going to one of her games at some point!
I’ve been really busy during my first few weeks on campus. A few of my friends and I have taken advantage of different on-campus events. We’ve gone to a hypnotist show, on the Escape Retreat, and to the homecoming football game (where it was cold but really fun).
In addition to all of these activities, I am in the Theatre Department’s bilingual production of Fuenteovejuna. I am typically at rehearsal five days a week, and we will be rehearsing throughout Fall Break, but I have made so many friends and have learned so much about performing!
I know this was a very brief overview, but my future posts will be much more in depth!
Thanks for reading!
Rebecca McSweeney
