Longtime No Blog
So we have been blog-up-keep slackers. Our most sincere apologies. Here is where we are with the new Res. Hall: 
I took a tour of the facility the other day and it is top notch! Rish and Cruise are nice dorms, but this is nice. Real nice. There is beautiful tile in the roomy bathrooms. Large double rooms and fantastic single rooms (which are climate controlled!) Not to mention the parlors on each floor equipped with a kitchenette.
Of course there are more pictures to come as the construction draws to an end!

Bluefield has come to life in the past few days. Probably because of an unusual heat wave that has hit us (Al Gore just might be right! But it did snow on Monday... hmm) students are coming out of their dorm rooms. Greek games took place over the weekend for our Greek Life. With the games have come some overnight practical jokes. It was common to wake up to see your car's windshield covered in Greek lettering with window paint. Oh what warm weather will cause! You have to love it!

Going Green
Blah, blah, blah, environmental stuff. I am talking about the grass and trees. Everything is springing back to life here! An Appalachian monsoon hit this weekend but the weather cleared up for a wonderful, warm, GREEN St. Patrick's Day. So I gathered up my camera and started snapping pictures around campus. Check out the progress on East River Residence Hall!

"Torchbearer of Freedom"
From BC Community News:
BC Theatre to Present 'The Torchbearer of Freedom'
Last spring, Bluefield College hosted a month-long Holocaust Symposium featuring lectures, concerts, drama, and discussion that significantly impacted the campus and community at-large.
This spring, February 12-16, BC's Theatre Department will offer an encore of sorts in the presentation of "The Torchbearer of Freedom," an inspiring drama about the life of American Mary Sigillo Barraco, who helped provide refuge for Jews in Belgium during the Nazi invasion in 1940.
The performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. each night, February 12-16, in Bluefield College's Harman Chapel, with the exception of a 2 p.m. matinee for the Sunday, February 15 showing.
The play, written by Virginia author John W. Remmers, tells the moving true story of Barraco, a teenage American living in Belgium at the time World War II erupted. Within a five-year span, Barraco worked with the underground to help smuggle escaping Jews out of Nazi territory, transport weapons for the resistance, and work tirelessly to oppose the tyranny and oppression of the Third Reich.
Although captured in 1943 and tortured and interrogated by the Gestapo, Barraco never gave up. Even after her release, she continued to fight for the freedom of the Jews.
"Mary is a true hero of World War II," said BC Theatre's artistic director Charles Reese about Barraco, who still lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia. "At 85, she still speaks to middle and high school students on a regular basis about what freedom means."
Bluefield College's Caleigh Keith, who recently met Barraco in preparation for the play, will occupy the lead role in the production, after starring as Anne Frank last year's Holocaust Symposium presentation of "The Diary of Anne Frank."
BC's Donnie Bales, also a veteran of "The Diary of Anne Frank," will play the role of Victor, a Belgian collaborator who joins the SS. Christian Masters, known for his role as Hook in last fall's "Peter Pan," will play Barraco's fiancée and fellow resistance fighter, Armand.
Jennifer Bohannon, recently seen as Grace Bradley in BC Theatre's "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," will play Barraco's mother, Leona, while David Sadler, another "Anne Frank" veteran, plays the SS commander Heydrich Rasch.
Other cast members include Marland Funk, Tim Kerr, Will Olive, Zach Nester, Luke Stevens, Jesse Stevens, Libby Stevens, Rebekah Transue, and James Young. BC Theatre's technical director Rebecca McCoy Reese joins Charles Reese as director of "The Torchbearer."
Admission for each performance of "The Torchbearer of Freedom" will be $10 for adults and $5 for senior adults and all students. For more information, please e-mail the BC Office of Public Relations at bcnews@bluefield.edu.

Julie's Ram-blings 2
Hey everyone,
Let me just start off by saying that the weather in Bluefield is so bipolar. One day we are sledding, the next day it’s raining and washing away our sledding hill. This morning it was so nice outside that I could wear just a t-shirt and jeans and be comfortable, but only a few hours later it was pouring and freezing! Personally, my vote is that we get more snow, because I want to try out the new sleds that we won at stock-your-room-Bingo. Just in case you aren’t aware, this is the night when S.U.B. (Student Union Board) gives away a ton of cool free stuff like food, gift cards, sleds, and a futon! It’s pretty much one of my favorite events ever.
Although it’s great coming back to school for second semester, I have learned that it is not so fun during flu season. Once one person gets it, you better say your prayers and go stock up on some Airborne. It doesn’t mess around; my suitemate and roommate got it, so did the people across the hall and it was not pretty! The good news is, teachers understanding as long as you tell them why you are going to miss class. They are actually probably happy you are staying in bed so that they don’t catch it and bring it home to their families.
I’m taking the ceramics on the wheel class, and let me just tell you that I really wish that I had taken the pottery I class first. I didn’t realize that I skipped the beginner class and now it is really tough trying to throw on a wheel. Walter, the teacher, is really good at what he does, but he makes everything look so easy when it really isn’t. Moral of the story, take the beginner class first if you want to do pottery.
The cafeteria food has gotten better. They got in a healthy choices bar, which has weightwatcher point values on the food. They also started to put out more fruit than they had before. There is a new Panini bar and some better things were added to the salad bar. One of my favorites, they got a chocolate milk machine! So, even when I don’t like what they are serving in the line, at least I have a couple more options now.
