Seeing as I frequented Buffalo as a youngster, the city has always held a special place in my mind and heart. What’s different and special about Buffalo, in my mind at least, is that it is the town where I really grew up. We each are raised in certain locales, but each of us matures and develops into an adult in a particular town, and Buffalo is where I really came into myself, as I’m sure is the case for many Canisius grads.

Remember when I wanted to write after spring break and let you know how it went? Also, do you remember when I said that breaks tend to put me behind even more than I would be otherwise? Well, Spring Break did exactly what was expected of it. It put me behind (although it was a good time in Ithaca) and I haven’t recovered yet. I actually don’t think it is possible to recover until summer hits and classes are long over! … Read more

The last few weeks of the academic year are always, coincidentally, the busiest of the year as well. Its almost as if you can’t make plans with anyone because everyone’s calendar is packed with end of the year banquets, club member inductions and elections, job interviews, and the obligatory 10 page papers. In fact, two [...]
