A Top Secret Project Hatching in "Verminworks"...

Be ready for the unveiling of something vital to Irish spirit this Friday. Hint: it contains around 200lbs of cotton, 5 gallons of paint, $340 worth of aluminum and will be visible on the far-side of Saint Mary's lake. The Vermin of Carroll Hall are constructing a monument to Irish pride that should be visible across the pond! Look our way this Friday as we take on Purdue!

Sunrise...Moonrise as viewed from 313 Carroll Hall



Over the past two days, I have had the good fortune of catching the elusive sunrise and moonrise over the Dome.

Home under the Dome

And so it begins... the 2010-2011 school year here in South Bend.  Many Notre Dame students study abroad during their junior year, so we have friends spending a semester - or more - in exotic places across the globe.  One of the most coveted sites is located in the stunning and glamorous city of South Bend, Indiana, USA.  We, the writers of this blog, have been fortunate enough to gain acceptance to this highly competitive program.

We dedicate this blog to sharing our experiences as we explore the surrounding areas and find adventure wherever it may be.  We have much to learn about the region, its geography, including expansive plains - more commonly known as cornfields - and its wildlife.  One species of particular interest will be the elusive Tamiasciurus hudsonicus.  Perhaps we will write more about this later...

 Right now, we are continuing to settle in and beginning to feel once again, "Home under the Dome."
