7L 55 it And time passes on. There are parties and dorm wars, and singing, and laughter, and frustrations, and complaints, and rejoicing and excitement. And there are the silent times when you find yourself in the twilight chapel searching for a moment of peace. And after a while you feel a calm resting in your soul. A time to think, a time to rest, a time to sort out and understand and be thankful for that sparkle of magic that God has put into the serene moments at Siena. Late autumn is approaching and the campus is bustling with the anticipation of 1'Parents Weekend? Pride and a feeling of belonging fill the precious minutes of these few days. Everyone says with their eyes and their hearts were so happy to have you all as our parents and friends? The weekend finalizes on a cheerful as well as slightly tearful note. Though saddened that this weekend is closing, you can still manage a smile because that magical feeling of community at Siena remains with you, comfortable and secure, like a friend.

Faster and faster the days roll by, the wind begins to whisper of winter, a few flurries dance outside the windows, and soon the carols are echoing in the quad. Decorations, Christmas parties, wing Mass, Kris Kringles, and visions of A's on finals dancing in our heads - we anxiously prepare for the close of the fall semester. We each feel rich and full in the capacity of our hearts and the special meaning of Christmas at Siena gives us the magic of contentment. 11
