Inch by inch, row by row

What a couple of weeks it has been; only 4 more days and then finals are here! Luckily, this semester I only have one final, but I still have that 15 page paper calling my name. I feel as if everything was due at once. I have been preparing for presentation after presentation. I had my Mgt 101 Board of Executives presentation on Saturday, I have my advertising presentation today, my Alternative Spring Break presentation tomorrow, my oral history presentation this Thursday, and not to mention my two tours this week.

I spent the whole day at the library yesterday. For some reason, being in that atmosphere really encourages me to get a lot of work done. I met a couple friends and we all sat together and worked on some homework. Well as we speak, I should be reading my Women in the 19th century history novel!


Work hard, play later!
Cheers,

Am I reading this right?....

I am looking at the calender but I do not believe it, is it really April 21st? Where did this year go? I know I have been busy, but did I really not realize how fast this semester was flying by. I guess my eyes are not lying, it is really April 21st, which means a little over a week left of classes. This is crazy! I can not believe how fast time flies when you are having....well having fun / doing work yeah know got to have a little bit of fun in this amazing city!

Even though summer is just a jump and a skip away, I can not get to ahead of myself. I still have a couple history papers, a management board presetation, an advertising presentation, an ASB presentation, an advertising exam, and an internship portfolio to get through. A lot of time will be spent in the library this weekend!

Congratulations to all of those who ran the Boston Marathon this past Monday. It was a great race!

Well information sessions are starting and I am needed downstairs!

Cheers to all,

4 weeks to go and still so much to do!

I apologize for the delay, but I have been busy with tours and work in the office! Our second, and last, showcase was yesterday. It went very smoothly and I enjoyed speaking to the groups of parents. I find it easy to discuss my experience at Suffolk because I have done so much in my last two years here. I have taken advantage of the opportunities the university and city have to offer and have achieved great success. Not to mention yesterday was a beautiful day, tours went smoothly and families seemed to really enjoy there time here at Suffolk.

Haley and I went for a run this morning, talk about a great stress reliever. Even though I am a little overwhelmed with the tasks I need to accomplish, running seems to let me forget about my busy schedule and I am able to enjoy the beautiful view from the Charles River. It hit me this morning how lucky I am to be able to live in a beautiful city with such great friends. Haley is training for the marathon and she really encourages me to run farther and faster each time. Great motivation and an awesome and positive way to start off the rest of my day and week!

With the end of the semester just around the corner, I am trying to get everything done. With an advertising campaign, a 15-20 final paper, design lab campaign project, a community service presentation, a board presentation and my internship portfolio things keep adding up. I am taking it one day at a time and took some time off from work this weekend. Basically I'm going to hibernate :) and get my work done. It is better to commit and get accomplished and not wait until the last minute. I am a planner and if I wait until the last minute to do projects I freak out haha...so I will be working diligently this week and weekend to get those big projects out of the way. TIME IS GOING TO FLY!

It is official, I will be working at State Street Co. this summer as an intern with the marketing and communication departments. I am going to work Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays but still also work a couple days a week at the restaurant. I really do enjoy working at Mooo and have made some great connections there. I am not going to overbook myself though, I am going to leave my weekends open for relaxation, but for me it is so hard to stay at home and not do anything! I must keep myself busy haha.

One last thing before I go...a couple dates to look forward to
1) Kenny Chesney 3D Summer Concert is coming to theaters April 21st
2) Spring Ball April 29th
3) May 22nd Kiss concert with friends :)

Cheers to all and enjoy this wonderful Monday!
