One Step Closer

Hello All,

I am deeply sorry for my lack of communication recently. My schedule has been as full as ever. Finals start today, and my Caretaker and I have been studying hard. Yesterday was beautiful outside, so we got a little slice of paradise while still stuck here in Wisconsin.

I hope all of the graduates enjoyed their parties, we are sad we missed such great food and company, but our time here has been well spent. I realized this term that if I start studying before the night before a test studying is not only easier, but I feel as though it is a bit more enjoyable as well.

Homeward Bound,

Clarence

Webcast Wonderland

Hello All,

As you may already know (or don't) the State track meet for Iowa is happening now through Saturday. Unfortunately, my heavy course load renders me incapable of going to Des Moines myself, but I was able to watch my Caretaker's sister (and some of her counterparts) race in today's events online! It was wonderful to see them all the way in Wisconsin. Molly's 4x800 team got 2nd, with wonderful time splits for each. We are looking forward to the wonders of the rest of the runners throughout the weekend.

My classes are getting a bit better, and a bit worse at the same time, as finals are approaching fast. My Caretaker had her scene work assignment due today, and she said it went very well. She also has monologues for the final, but she has until the 31st for that. We are all getting a bit anxious for the end of the year, while at the same time dreading finals.

Quickly,

Clarence

Dunk Tastic

Hello All,

Yes, I am standing on the seat pad of a dunk tank. I know you may think it is a beautiful day for a dunking, but let me assure you, it was not. The fifty degree and windy climate was not ideal to be submerged into a large tank of cold water, but my caretaker gave it a shot. She said it was wonderfully fun, even with the freezing water. The best part is not knowing when you are going to get dropped in. It's incredibly suspenseful!

Gallantly,

Clarence

Happy Mother's Day

Hello All,

I hope this Mother's day finds you all golden. I myself am laying out in the sunshine in my new favorite garden. The daffodils in front of Colman are magnificent right now, and there's a cute statue nearby that is beginning to warm up to me. My caretaker is studying for a chemistry exam tomorrow, even though I keep telling her to come check out the garden scene with me.

My caretaker and I would like to extend all the love in our hearts to our families. We give our undying hope and strength to those who need it most right now. We can only pray that everyone realizes how loved and appreciated they are, not only on Mother's day, but every day of their lives.

Lovingly,

Clarence

Getting Crazy

Hello All,

The weather is finally deciding to be a bit more consistently spring-like. Even though it is May, we had a few days of cold before it has finally gotten nice outside. The flowers are blooming and it is wonderful to galavant around town. Everyone takes full advantage and stays outside as much as they can on the nice days we have.

It's 7th week, and most Lawrentians are getting a bit crazy. Studies are ramping up for all classes and projects and papers are getting piled on. Everyone is getting a bit frazzled (as shown from my mural friend on 4th floor Colman), but we are all getting through it. Its also frusterating to hear everyone else getting out of school while we are still pounding the pavement.

Waiting patiently,

Clarence

Old Friends

Hello All,

Reading Period was very refreshing for everyone here at Lawrence. My Caretaker and I got the chance to go to my hometown- Chicago! We got to meet lots of wonderful people in the Arts business and see all kinds of cool theaters and museums. We got to see the Field Museum and say hello to my old buddy, Sue. She's changed a lot since I saw her last, back when Gnomes and Dinosaurs ruled the world.

My Caretaker was amazed by all of the different careers she discovered in Chicago and got to see the underbellies of the Museum of Contemporary art, Harris Theater and Steppenwolf Theater. Both of which were very fun and informative. She made a few new friends and got to spend time with a completely new, and fun, group of people.

Anciently,

Clarence
