New Semester, New Horizons

So the new semester started a few weeks ago and it's actually been very good so far. I'm taking Honors Accounting, Princples of Business Law, Globalization, Marketing, as well as a Management Seminar. The past few weeks have been very busy. Starting my new job as an Ambassador has been very exciting. I work in admissions, helping with office work as well as give tours to prospective students. A few days ago I gave a tour to three Chicago Counselors who wanted to know more about Suffolk. After the tour I was invited to go out to dinner at the Union Oyster House with the Director of Admissions as well as the Chicago Counselors. It was definitely the best dinner I've had since Christmas Break hands down!



Besides school, I have been very busy with friends. Last weekend two girls in my apartment building had their birthdays so the weekend was very fun. Whenever we have people over our apartment, it turns out to be an amazing night. Last semester I had a group of friends that would come over every weekend. Unfortunately all but one of them have left Suffolk to study abroad this semester. Two of them are Ambassadors as well, Rachel and Haley. One of my best friends, Geralyn is studying in London. Luckily technology has made it possible for us to stay in touch with Skype, AIM, and MagicGate. Geralyn surpised me a few days ago by calling me, which I totally did not expect. I did not think it was possible for her to call me from London without paying a massive amount in phone charges. MagicGate however lets a person use a landline number to call through a computer, no matter where they are located. It's really cool and now I can call her whenever. Although she is five hours ahead of me so its kind of hard when I want to call her after dinner. Although Geralyn is one of my best friends, I love all of them, and if I didn't say it, I know I'd get in trouble with them :). Rachel, Kirsten, Alaina, Melissa, Olga, Bia, Allison, and Haley, I miss you all!



Now that I've talked about school, work, and my friends, I feel I should talk about Suffolk a little more. Since this is my first blog, I'll give everyone a little bio about myself. I'm originally from Tolland, Connecticut, which is right next to the University of Connecticut, so I'm a huge UConn Huskies fan. March Madness is definitely the highlight of my winters. I lived in the 150 Tremont Dorms my Freshman year and loved every minute of it. Now I currently live in the North End with three other roommates who all lived on my floor last year in the dorms. Next year three of us will be moving to the Back Bay area which is close to the Arlington T stop. While at school I am the captain of the Golf team. I was MVP my Freshman year which was totally a surprise to me. I probably won't be playing this Spring semester due to my Ambassador job.

For now that's my first blog!
