Summer Time and the Livin's Easy!

So yesterday I was officially on summer vacation at 9 AM! It was an amazing feel. The weather here has been insane. One day it will be 90 and the next 60 and then back to 80 and then back to 50. That's New England for ya! This summer is going to be amazing, I already have good feelings about it. I'm working in the admission office during the week and then every other weekend I'm going home to work at the bar I've been working at for the past 2.5 years. I've been outside every minute its been nice here. I can't stand people who stay inside while its nice. I just don't understand how you can be inside when its beautiful outside! Especially when in New England the weather changes so much, I definitely take advantage of the nice days here!

My finals went good and I feel I did a good job. My accounting final was a little harder than I thought it would be, but I still feel I did really good on it. Business Law was easy and so was marketing. Globalization was tough but I knew that going into it. I studied as much as possible so I can only hope I did well. I did an extra credit assignment just in case so I'm sure my final grade will still be good.

I went shopping the other day and bought some new sunglasses and clothes. I definitely felt the need to drop some cash after finals. Unfortunately I dropped about 350 on clothes and sunglasses but whatever, you only live once right?! Not going to lie, my sunglasses are bangin! They're Ralph Lauren and I'm really happy with them haha.

Anyways my friends are beginning to return home from abroad and I couldn't be happier. Haley returned a few days ago and actually called me today which was a total surprise. Then Geralyn, Rachel, Kirsten, Alaina, and Melissa return on Sunday. Unfortunately Olga and Allison don't return until June. The Monday after they return, Geralyn and Melissa are going to a Third Eye Blind concert with me so it'll be a good mini reunion!

So being the first full day of summer vacation, I'm going to enjoy tonight to the fullest. But I felt the need to update since I haven't blogged in a really long time! (sorry Sara!)

Blog ya later!

3000 Word Paper

So I have a 3,000 word paper due in a few weeks, and I'm ashamed to say I only have about 100 words. It's on Global Warming and I'm only allowed to use facts from this pod cast I had to listen to. It's definitely taking me some time to figure out what to write, but I'm confident I'll get it done. I have another group project due in a week and my group is just finishing up what needs to be done. I have a business law test on Wednesday that I need to study for, but other than that, my classes are pretty much wrapped up! Unfortunately a week after classes end, I start another class for a month and a half. Oh well.

I finally found an apartment I want to live in next year! My roommate and I found on in the North End that is absolutely fabulous! It's a two bedroom, two FULL bathroom top floor apartment. It even has a fire place! And the roof deck is amazing with the best view in the North End easily. Not to mention it's right across the street from Ernestos which is one of the best pizza places in the North End. I'm really exciting about moving into a more modern, mature apartment. I'll also be 21 when I move in so house parties aren't really going to be a big thing for me. Me and my roommate have kind of stopped the whole house party scene because it's always the same everytime. I'm definitely ready to go to bars instead!

I have plans to see Third Eye Blind this summer in Boston and Rascal Flatts in Connecticut. I'm super excited since I haven't seen either of them in a while. I used to go to concerts all the time, but recently I just haven't gone.

Back to my 3000 word paper.....

April Showers

Is it really April already? I can't believe my Sophomore year is coming to a close. I have less than a month left of classes and finals. I registered for my Junior year classes last week and got all the classes I needed. Next year I'll be taking Federal Taxation Accounting, Intermediate Accounting I, Data and Decision Analysis, Organizational Behavior, and Business Finance. I'm also taking a summer class for the first part of the summer with Kristin! We're taking our science requirement so we can get it out of the way.

I traveled to Farmington, Connecticut last Wednesday to speak to admitted students. It was really fun and I had a good time. I had to speak for about five minutes which was fun and then I answered questions. Allison went with me and we got to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner beforehand. We had a lot of fun on the car ride down with Dan. Definitely had some good bonding time. My parents also showed up which was nice since I haven't seen them in a while. I made a little note about parents in my speech which I think made them happy.

Golf practice started last week. Unfortunately we only have three matches in the spring. Our fall schedule is much larger and we travel a lot more. I can only play in one of the tournaments because of other obligations with the admissions office. I have stopped working in the office because I don't want to go over my hours. With Sunday's showcase and another reception on Friday, most of my hours will be used up. I have about 5 extra hours that I'll use for my last three tours I give on Monday's. I'm kind of happy about not having to work in the office during Finals Week, but also I'm going to miss seeing all my friends at work. Luckily I'll see some of them in the office during the summer.

I have been super tired lately and I think it's because I've been working hard these past few days. I've been trying to get ahead in my classes before finals week so I've been doing some extra work here and there.

My realtor found two apartments that me and my roommate haven't seen so we're going to look at them on Thursday. Hopefully we'll like one of them enough to put down a deposit. I hate having things hang over my head, especially when it has to do with my living situation for next year.

I talked to Geralyn last night for the first time in a while which was really nice. All my friends in London come home on May 3rd which is exciting for me, but I definitely can understand them not wanting to leave Europe. Although Third Eye Blind is playing in Boston on May 11th and Geralyn and I will most definitely be seeing them!

Cheers!
