news.

sup kids? we've got a month until school begins. i personally am grateful that we have a new d&d right across the street, i will definitely be taking advantage of some quality coffee on those mornings where i desperately need to fully wake-up.

also, we've got some construction going on in front of the school by the pegasus entrance.. if all goes well, some pipe will burst and the first day of school will be delayed for a full week.


in other news, especially that concerning livejournal, it seems we have a "lasalle gossip girl." i found it a few months ago when they friended this journal (i'm the mod fyi) and never really thought twice about it. recently, it's been leaked all over the AIM profiles of the lasalle academy hierarchy.. you know, the popular kids. anyway, you can read it here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/g… and figure out who's being talked about by yourself. i happen to know who the author is (thanks to a strange conversation with certain members of my sophomore religion class) and have been sworn to secrecy.


sports! (and clubs!) what fall activities will you guys be participating in? if you did something last year and really enjoyed it, talk about it here and leave it for other community members to investigate the activity and perhaps get involved in something themselves. i know that a lot of kids don't do a whole lot of extracurriculars, especially myself, so try and get involved.


myspaces. i'm almost sure everyone in this community has one, or at least knows what one is, so it'd be nice if you could all comment to this entry with yours (or just join the lasalle group on myspace) just so you can keep up on everyone else in a friendly, non stalker way.

sophomore i mean junior class, i have heard from various sources that we have ms.murphy as our dean again. i'm kind of disappointed, i really liked romani.

finally, everyone stay safe for the rest of the summer and enjoy yourselves.


stay fresh!

(no subject)

For anyone who had Mr. Collins this year, we all know he prayed for his brother who had cancer pretty much every class. I just heard that his brother died last week. So if any of you feel like writing him a note or something, feel free. Just thought some of you would like to know.

Also, apparently he had his surgery and he's doing well.

for those catholics out there... haha
