As a new group of bloggers will be introduced this fall, this is my official farewell to Simmons Reconnect. Thank you for all of your comments on my blog posts - it's been a wonderful opportunity to share with you all!

If you are interested in hearing more news about The King's Rose, The Blood Confession, and whatever my third book (still in progress) may turn out to be, please visit my blog at www.alisamlibby.wordpress.com. You can also visit my website for more information about my novels: www.alisalibby.com.

Many thanks,
Alisa

To the delight of One & All, our own ice cream truck appeared in the MCB Plaza as a special treat for the Simmons Community. Even a thunder shower couldn't "dampen" our spirits!

At My Desk

The 2009-2010 Academic Year begins in a few short weeks. Here is where it all happens before each class. Notes, files, books, and movies come off the shelves and out of the desk drawers each weekend in preparation for the classes that I teach. They are Animation, Video Production, and a course many Alumnae remember - Communications Media. Take a good look. This will be the last time the office is cleaned up for a long time.

Feng Shui of Benches

The Plaza behind the Main College Building has three newly installed benches. The Uncommonly Nice Bench sits near to a shade tree and faces the lawn. The Stoney Bench sits upon the concrete runway sidewalk. The Am-I-Waiting-for-a-Bus-at-this-Stop Bench boasts an unimpeded view of Dumpsters. If given the choice, I can be found upon the first.

Posting facebook profiles gives me the opportunity to endlessly create self-portraits.

Signing off!

There will be a new group of bloggers in Fall, so this will be my last blog entry.

It was absolutely fun to share my random thoughts with you during this time. I hope you enjoyed reading them as well.

So, till we meet again sometime in some other context! In the mean time, I will leave you with my personal nutrition principles:
1. Minimally processed foods
2. Wide variety
3. Plant based diet

Be well!

turn on the A/C several hrs before Honors Convocation if you don't want me & your audience to... MELT!

The Gym is a wonderful place to hold a basketball game. Or a dance, like in high school. At one time Honors Convocation was held outside. Folding chairs facing a small stage. A beautiful autumn afternoon. A small gathering of the families and friends of the honorees. Some resident students peeked out of their dormitory windows. Two years ago the President welcomed First Year students and their families on the Quad. Folding chairs facing a big stage with a huge audience. A beautiful autumn afternoon.
