What's up my fellow Dragons! Hope you are all surviving midterms with great success.
So we've made it through half of the fall quarter and as our thoughts turn to holidays, family and those much anticipated trips home (don't book your plane tickets just yet...), we also turn to the exciting season at Drexel.
Coming up on November 1st, we have the annual Midnight Madness concert at the DAC featuring Childish Gambino. This is the official tip-off of the 2013-14 Drexel Dragons Basketball season and will featuring introductions of our Men's Basketball team (which looks to get back to CAA glory this year with the return of Redshirt Sr. Chris Fouch, Damion Lee, Tayvon Allen and Franz Massenet) and our 2013 WNIT CHAMPIONS Women's Basketball team featuring Fiona Flanagan, Meghan Creighton, Tory Theirolf, Rachel Pearson and Abby Redick (yes, J.J. is her brother). Visit TicketLeap to purchase your spot for the show. A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!
November 1st through 3rd will also be the dates for Drexel Family Weekend featuring a number of awesome events such as a Wine & Cheese Reception with President Fry. Check out the Family Weekend Schedule of Events at Family Weekend 2013 Schedule of Events for more details.
If you're not to tired from all the partying at Midnight Madness, you can pop up early on November 2nd and join us for the 13th annual City 6 5K race as we look to stamp out another point that Drexel is the best college campus in Philadelphia! For more information visit Philly City 6 5K.
And if you're just ready to get home, don't worry, we'll have plenty of more exciting events for you when you come back in January. Especially the much anticipated Homecoming weekend featuring the Homecoming Concert and the legendary Drexel Crystal Ball (Location and theme announcement coming soon, but last year's Crystal Ball: A Night at the Masquerade at the Academy of Natural Sciences was AMAZING!).
Well that's all I've got on my Train of Thought for now. See you around campus and best of luck on the 2nd half of the Fall Quarter.
GO DRAGONS!

Kicking Back Into Gear - by: Matthew Jolles
And we're back!
First off, welcome to all our newest members of the Drexel commuting community and since our office hosts Transfer student engagement as well, welcome to all our new transfer students from a fellow transfer as well. You are ironically part of one of the largest populations of students on the campus. With that being said, we have a cool blog just for you which you are reading right now.
Train of Thought is written weekly by fellow Drexel commuters and is a musing of different thoughts, feelings on topics, information about on-goings at Drexel and engaging discussions on subject areas of interest and concern to you. Many times we'll talk about topics or matters pertaining to the Drexel campus. Your feedback to these topics becomes pertinent to our Commuter and Transfer Student Engagement office and Drexel administration in being able to enhance the experience of all students on campus, including you. This blog is POWERED BY YOU, so please hit us back with comments, questions, topics you would like to see covered.
We also have the Commuter Mario account on Campus Soapbox (which you can sign up to join at www.campussoapbox.com or download the app from Google Play or iStore) where we will be posting engaging polls and building conversations on relevant topics related to our commuting community.
In the coming months, you will see many events from CTSE and many discussions taking place through this blog. Some of the topics we will discuss will set the format for our 2nd annual Commuter & Transfer Administration Town Hall where you the students will get to ask, in open forum, all the issues you wish to put in front of university administration. Last year the event was attended by Provost Greenberg and Dean Ruth, and we look forward to hopefully having them back on the panel again this year.
Well that's all we have for now as this week's blog is simply a welcome back to our returning readers and a welcome to our newest readers. We'll dive into the "cooler stuff" next week. Train of Thought will run every Monday during the term. Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride! GO DRAGONS!

Spring Smiles
I am what is affectionately called a resimuter here at Drexel, as I live close enough to actually walk to school, but not in a school building. I live a mile or so away, at the edge of where Drexel Safety goes. I know there are several other students living in my building, and more up and down my block, mixed in with other residents of the neighborhood. I notice, though, that we hardly ever talk to each other, let alone to the other neighborhood residents. We are all in such a busy hurry scurry to get to class that we rarely stop for a second to give a smile and a friendly hello. With spring now here and the weather a bit nicer, we are all spending more time outside and come in contact with everyone more frequently. The other day I walked past a gentleman who was out taking care of a garden that I always admire on my walk. I made it a point to take out my headphones for a second to say how much I loved walking past his beautiful flowers. He smiled in response and said "Thanks, that's what it's there for!" Then I continued to hurry to class, but found I was now smiling too. So these last couple weeks of spring quarter, I am going tomake it a point to say hi to more people, as I walk to class, instead of putting in my headphones and tuning out the world. I encourage you to do the same, as maybe you'll meet someone who will brighten your day as well.

Tip-time: Mid-Term Success
This is something I'm sure many of you are already aware of, but just to help you out, here once again are my mid-term test tips.
Most of you are waking up to a Monday morning that is Week 5 of Winter Quarter here at Drexel. Yet that lovely time again for mid-terms! So here for your information are a few mid-term taking tips:
1) GET SOME SLEEP! That partying you might normally do during the week can wait for a moment til the weekend comes.
2) EAT WELL! There is nothing worse than trying to take a test while your stomach is playing kettle drum rhythms.
3) You might think that cramming the night before is good but actually you're going against your best interests. For strong test taking you want to begin a few days in advance of the test, work through your units/chapters in sections (about one week per day) similar to how they were taught during class. Cramming everything from four weeks into one night will cause so much stress to your body and brain that you will actually not retain or refresh information as well as you think you are.
4) Look over the whole test before you start taking it. I can tell you from personal experience there will be parts of tests you can realize will take you longer than other parts. It may be in your best interests then to maximize time by completing those sections first before continuing through completing the rest of the exam. After you've finished the test, look back over it again to make sure that all your answers correspond correctly to the related question.
5) And last but not least, RELAX! Yes, mid-terms are important but don't stress over it like it's the end of the world if you do a bit less that you expected. Positive outlook always allows the ability to rebound before the final. Keep your head up and you shall prevail.
BEST WISHES MY FRIENDS ... This "Train of Thought" is pulling out of the station, we'll arrive again next Monday with a new thought!

A moment of pause - By: Matthew Jolles
As we go through our normal days of progress here at Drexel we at times may become blinded and shell ourselves from the progressions of society and the outside world. However, when major events occur it quickly opens our eyes, changes the thoughts in our minds and in our hearts as well.
Yesterday's events in Boston are no different. The tragedy that struck during the wrapping moments of the Boston Marathon shocked not just everyone in Boston, but all of us on campus and the society of the world.
President Obama called it a "gruesome act of terrorism" and vowed to work the fullest extent of the government's abilities in finding the responsible person or party and bringing them to justice.
All we must do now however as citizens of the United States and/or fellow citizens of the world is to provide our thoughts and love for the victims of this tragic event and love for the City of Boston as they recover.
#loveforboston
Our regularly related Train of Thought's will return next week.

Pulling into the station...
Thanks to everyone who rode the Train of Thought with us through the Winter Quarter, we hope it was a smooth and enjoyable ride for you. We're pulling into the station for a brief layover but we'll be back on track after the break. Enjoy your time off and do something fun! See you all on April Fools Day when we start the Spring Quarter.
And please, show up for class on the first day, that is NOT an April Fools Joke your professor will laugh at.

Jumping the tracks - by: Matthew Jolles
I'm going to jump off the rails this week and take you on to the road for a moment. The road specifically that is the racetrack of Daytona International Speedway.
Saturday was a scary moment for not just NASCAR but sport as a whole, and life in general.
Coming out of Turn 4 into the home-stretch on the final lap of the Nationwide series race a horrific crash occurred that launched driver Kyle Larson's car up from the track and into the catch-fence that surrounds the track and separates it from the grandstands. The impact was so severe and destructive that it disintegrated the entire front section of the car, launching pieces of metal, car parts (including the engine and tires) into the stands and causing injuries to 28 people (14 minor, 14 hospitalized).
It's moments like this occurrence that cause us to step back for a second and appreciate the fragility of life, and how lucky we are each and every day to have our health and the opportunity to pursue exploits that we desire.
Now I'm sure as you read this you probably asked yourself, how does this apply to Drexel?
So here is my obligated Drexel tie-in. We are all here because of a desire to ascribe to more in our lives. We are all here pursuing a dream. However, that dream is as fragile as the cars that speed at 180+ MPH around the tracks 36 weekends a year. When you come to class, take a test, write a paper the strategy you put into it, the tact you take during the time spent, and the quality you put out is similar to how NASCAR teams approach a race. So what I'm saying is, make sure you put your car out front, drive the best race, and stay out of the clutter in the middle of the pack. Be the best, and appreciate the opportunity you have to compete here!

Raising money and seeking balance - by Matthew Jolles
The Main Rail Line:
Yesterday, I had the honor of participating in the Philadelphia 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament to benefit Heart of our World Foundation. While my team may have lost both games, we could not be more proud of our part in the efforts that helped raise $2500 for impoverished children in Africa as we help to build stronger education and athletic opportunities for them. The tournament, which was created and hosted by Drexel Women's Basketball player Abby Redick (yes, she's J.J. Redick's sister) was the result of a class project as she drives for her degree in Communications.
On the other train line today:
Does any one else feel like you struggle more during the winter quarter than Fall, Spring or Summer? It could be the weather, more activities stretching your focus, harder courses, etc. We want to know what you think! We'll select the best responses and give you advice on how to balance your Drexel experience to its fullest.
See you at the next station!

Reaching out - by: Matthew Jolles
HAPPY MONDAY FELLOW TRAIN PASSENGERS!
Over the past week I've been hearing a lot of interesting stories from fellow Dragons (some commuters and some not). I wanted to get some stories from those of you who partake in reading the blog as a line of generation for future blog posts. So drop us a line and let us know what we can write about for you. A Question, comment, rant & rave, or just something you need advice on. We'll set the Train of Thought on that track and bring you to your destination.
Go forward my fellow Dragons!

The Day After - by Matthew Jolles
Well thankfully we all survived Super Bowl Sunday and that lovely 35 minute blackout that occurred during the middle of the 3rd quarter.

"Weather or not..." by: Matthew Jolles
As we recover from the festivities of Homecoming week we take a moment to remind all Drexel students, especially my fellow readers to be careful and take an extra moment while we battle the elements of winter weather. While we have had days in the past few weeks without precipitation and days like today with it, take stock of your surroundings and as well take an extra bit of time to get where you are going. If you are a commuter who relies heavily on the trains, trolleys, and subways. Check out the amazing app called SEPTADroid if you have an Android phone. It gives you schedules and status updates for all SEPTA services. Also, for all my non-droid users there is the website www.baldwin.ph run by SEPTA which will give you status information on SEPTA services.
Be safe around campus and look foward to seeing you all again soon. We'll be back next week with another phenomenally spirited Train of Thought!

Dusting off the Locomotive - by: Matthew Jolles
Hey Fellow Commuters,
So I was poking around our CTSE page and noticed our "Train of Thought" in the yard kind of just collecting some dust. So the cleaning crew, under the direction of our amazing leader Jessica Edonick and I decided it was time to break out the tools and dust it off. To our great surprise, soon after we began the process, Mario The Dragon joined us and with one roar of fire was able to re-ignite our engine and we were off and rolling.
Ok, so enough with the humor and on to the business. Please allow me to introduce, um, myself. (Really, I'm done with the humor!) My name is Matthew Jolles and I am a sophmore transfer student in the Sport Management major here at Drexel University. I am also, and most importantly to this blog and you the readers, a commuter.
Every morning, I board the SEPTA Media/Elwyn line for my travels to campus. While the trip is a very brief 23 minutes it gives me much time for reflection on my day-at-hand and the events surrounding my time I will spend on campus, to get a few extra minutes of sleep or some brief studying to prep myself for my first class of the day.
So here's the deal, this blog is your blog! That's right commuters, I want to hear from you. What's on your mind? What can Drexel do to better your experience as a commuter? And, we'll also touch on subjects I know from my personal experience that you would all be interested in, such as how to be more connected to the Drexel experience even though you don't live on campus.
To touch briefly for today on one experience that is upon us as I write this, would be the 2013 Drexel Homecoming Week. Since we here at DU don't have football (making us undefeated since 1973!) our Homecoming lands at the end of January, smack in the middle of our beloved basketball season. Ahh, basketball, that lovely game where 5 players dribble and pass a big orange ball down a hardwood floor and shoot it through a small hoop hanging 10 feet off the ground. And that much of it is about all the lay-man or woman understands of the game. However, here at Drexel, the experience of attending a game is so much more. From the nostalgia of the DAC, to the raucous DAC Pack joined in by the talented band and our spirited Cheerleaders and Dance Team. Drexel Basketball is more than just a game, it is a ritual that is a part of Drexel University's continuing exsistence. To that is Homecoming, this week at hand when we celebrate all things Drexel and it's glorius history. From our more than 350 student organizations, fraternities & sororities painting the windows of the REC Center in competition, to the Bonfire / Pep Rally scheduled to be hosted on the Race Street lawn tomorrow at 6pm, the elegant Crystal Ball on Friday night at the Academy of Natural Sciences (Visit the CAB Box office in MacAllister Hall for tickets - $25 individual / $40 couple), and of course the BIG EVENTS in specificality our Men's Basketball team vs. Georgia State on Saturday and our CAA leading Women's team vs. arch-rival Delaware on Sunday. And if sports isn't your thing, come to the Armory on Saturday night and party with Flostradamus and Waka Flocka Flame at the DU Homecoming After-party.
So that's my "train of thought" for this week as we journey our way into the celebration of Drexel Homecoming Week. Hope this gave you all some ideas on how to engage yourself into the Drexel community. Remember, just because you don't live in the dorms doesn't mean you can't act like you do. Enjoy everything DU has to offer and truly "become a Drexel Dragon"! I look forward to reading your messages and we'll open up the mailbag soon and write a few blogs on your requests and questions.
Till next time ... GO DRAGONS!
