Radio Shows at PBA

"The Taylor and Nate Show" and "J.A.W.S Radio (Jenny and Wendy Show)" are two of the popular PBA Radio Shows at PBA.

"The Taylor and Nate Show" is on Tuesdays at 8 pm. "J.A.W.S. Radio" is on Fridays at 6pm. The two do not compete, in fact, there is talk of them collaborating for one show. If there wasn't talk about it before, now there is.

The two shows are actually quite different. "J.A.W.S. Radio" focuses primarily on the artist. From musicians to poets, they cover it all. There is a "Shark Tank Time" where guests are asked ridiculous questions by the co-hosts (Jenny Bacallao and Wendy Georges) and the listeners. "The Taylor and Nate Show" is well rounded; they, Taylor Smythe and Nate Goodlet, lead interviews and have special guests.

The two are different, but they have one similarity! They are both worth listening to.

FALL BREAK!

As Friday approaches, pencils get dropped and papers get put to the side. The library is put on hold. Some students go home or on some sort of exciting vacation. Some others take avantage of the quiet campus.

"I am playing with the Bryan Reynolds Band (local band made up of PBA students), and I was planning on visiting Seminaries. Also, my family is coming to visit me. So, we're going to watch an air show and a shuttle take off on Monday," says Shane Hess, 21 (Senior).

"I'm going to South Carolina to visit family I've never met before! I will chase Fall!" Kristen Scarcella, 21 (Senior).

"I really love PBA, so I'll be spending my Fall Break with my roommates. None of us are going home! I'm really excited. The RA (Resident Assistant) is planning on doing some fun Fall activities like Pumpkin carving. It's going to be great. I also love that it is October and we can still go to the Beach!" Ashleigh, 18 (Freshman).

As for myself, I'll be taking this opportunity to relax, do some homework, watch some movies, and hang out with friends. A lot of the weekend is unplanned, which is awesome! Let's live it up spontaneous style!

Have a wonderful Fall Break, PBA!

Monday Night Live

MNL:

A live, sketch-comedy event based on the concept of SNL (Saturday Night Live), but with a PBA-spin.

Yellow Figures Appeared!

Imagine a yellow, wooden figure that stands on its own and has a secret meaning. It appeared one day. No one seems to know where they came from. Are you afraid?

Now we know where these attractive models came from. There is a scultpure class of 17 students that was assigned to build 5 abstract figures. They were divided into groups. One student claims that the planning was the hardest part, because the styles seemed endless.

The Mystery of the Yellow Figure has been solved.

Retreat!

Let me start by telling you how important Hall retreats are. What a great time to fellowship with other girls and take a load off from the academic life.

Like most years my dorm (Weyenberg) was teamed up with another dorm (Johnson Hall). Unlike most years, we went to a place that we had never been to before- The Hilton in Singer Island. Glorious! It was such a good time.

We left late afternoon on Friday. We got there and unpacked. At 9pm, we met up with everyone to discuss the plans for the rest of the retreat. We also did a little worship out by the pool. Introductions were done. They fed us vegetables. YUM! Unfortunately, we were feeling a little more on the junk food side. Thus, PIZZA was delivered to our suite.

As the night progressed, we were all getting very excited for the next day with reason. The following day was jam packed with beach time, pool time, soccer time, lunch, and, of course, fellowship time.

It truely was the best retreat!

Overall, I'd give it 5 stars.

SALSA DANCE NIGHT!

PBA holds an annual Salsa Dance! Last year was amazing, and I didn't think anything would ever be as good. These were my naive thoughts until I stepped into this year's Salsa Dance.

"Move those hips," encouraged the Ballroom Dance Club. They had everyone team up with a partner. Then, they taught us some simple ballroom dance steps before the party even started.

There was a station with chips, salsa, and various fruity drinks. Then on the stage there was a professional Salsa band playing music from tons of Latin Countries! What a blast!

I love PBA's tight community. We really are a family. Those that knew how to dance were teaching their moves to those that had never moved their hips like that before.
