Simon Foster's Blog (6)

There is a saying that I have come to understand with more and more clarity and that is "If you want something done, give it to a busy person." I'm not sure how all of your lives are going but I know that I am often having trouble keeping my head above water! I realize that I have not communicated through Faces in quite some time, for which I apologize...but I have just had SO MUCH to do! I guess that's a testament to life here at Albright that if you don't have enough things to do for classes… Continue

Well it’s a cold Friday morning, but inside its so delightful...no I’m not going to start singing ‘Let it snow’ but I think it’s obvious that I am well into the Christmas Spirit (Hence the title). Whatever your faith may be, and however you practice that faith, I hope that each person that reads this endeavors to spend as much time as possible with family, friends, and those you feel to be important in your life. I’m not sure if it’s just that everyone is looking forward to being done with their… Continue

No, Christian Bale isn't visiting Albright College...but we are getting to see some of his work! I have been hard at work planning as junior class president to hold a 'Fall Fest' on campus.

As treasurer of the Student Government Association I have responsibility over our entire budget… Continue

Hi everyone! I apologize for my lack of communication, I've been all over the world and have often had no access to internet. After leaving Singapore last week I flew down to Australia where I had a whirlwind tour in which I slotted a huge number of visits to family and friends into a short, four-day stay. I arrived about 6:30am on Sunday and was immediately hit by how cold it was (Its winter there when its summer in the US...its a hemisphere thing...oh and YES the toilets do flush the other way… Continue

Hello! Simon here! Reporting from Singapore on a hot, humid Monday night (Monday morning for you guys back in the US). I’d like to introduce myself and give a bit on my background before I go into what’s going on in my life and what’s going to happen in the time yet to come. Well, as my page informs you, my name is Simon and I now live in New Jersey after originally moving from Australia just about 7 years ago, when I was 13. For those of you interested in my experience in Australia, I was born… Continue
