Hopefully I will be able to find enough artifacts to produce a argument that connects to an ongoing argument. This is a good time to be studying the spirit groups of antiquity, as there is a <a href=\"http:\/\/santaclarabroncos.com\/information\/directory\/baumgartner_renee\" target=\"_blank\">new athletic director<\/a> at Santa Clara, so there are ongoing changes in the athletic department as we speak. I will look into whether the changes that are currently happening are driving the athletic department and spirit groups in a way that aligns with the way it used to be, or if it will take the department in an entirely new direction.<\/p>\n<p>I am very glad that I found a new topic in time for the essay to be completed, even if I do need to return to the archives for a third day. As it was actually impossible to find the sources i needed the first two times I went, I should be able to glean enough information from the third trip to create a solid essay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, upon returning to the archives for the second day, I have determined that I am going to need to go a third time.
