Day 11


Week 3......It's finals week here at Mercyhurst.......I know this because the sofa that I normally take a nap on is constantly occupied by students cramming for exams...just kidding!


........No time to sleep....no need to sleep....no wanting to sleep....excitement is in the air! Today has been a great day....actually let's make that a super day!


The day began with touring another one of the schools that will be one of the sites for the academy. Great school....great administrator...great anticipation!

The day continued with meeting Holly N. from Arts Erie......I am amazed at the number of talented artists that will work with the students during the Artist in Residence component of the Academy....from puppetry to dancing to animation....the opportunities for the children are endless!


We then met with 2 enthusiastic graduate students who are in the process of writing a grant that will supplement the grant received for the Carpe Diem Academy. Keep your fingers crossed!


Other than a few more meetings scheduled, more supplies ordered, and the newly gained knowledge that there is a Starbucks on campus, that pretty much sums up the day!


One more thing....today, it hit me while I was ordering supplies over the phone...when speaking about the Carpe Diem Academy, I act as if everyone knows about it...like if someone was ordering supplies for Harvard....I thought for a moment and then realized......everyone should know....so make sure you pass it on...



Carpe Diem!
