So three weeks into the semester and I definitely feel like I've been in school for months now. I have a ton of homework every night now and I feel like its going to be a semester where I'm going to have to work a lot to keep my head above water.
Today was the Temple Street Fair where a ton of our clubs had tables out on one street. It was insane. There were hundreds of students walking in one street getting tons of free stuff. Its a great time to join a club as well as get free lunch and a ton of free stuff.
Tomorrow is Meet the Firms night which is a night where local and regional accounting firms come to recruit students for internships and careers. This is the first time I'm going to be attending and I'm a little nervous. There are a few accounting firms that I definitely want to speak with. I just recently applied for a few internships with KPMG, Ernst and Young, and Walter and Shuffain. I'm beginning to get a little nervous about finding an internship, but I definitely have to find one so I can't drag my feet.
This Saturday is our first Students with Students Information Session. Students with Students is really fun because there aren't any counselors or admissions staff there, only us ambassadors. It gives prospective students a better idea of what Suffolk is like through a student's point of view because they know no one is telling us what to say. There's a fun group of us working it so I'm excited.
Now I have my office hours for SU 101. Blog ya later!

Starting the Second Half of My College Career
So a week into my first semester as a Junior and I can most certainly tell you the workload is a lot more. I'm currently taking Intermediate Accounting, Federal Taxation, Business Finance, Data Decision and Management, and Organizational Behavior. On top of that, I'm a Teaching Assistant for SU 101 which is like taking a 6th class. And then of course I'm still a Trustee Ambassador and trying to maintain my status as golf team Captain.
It's great seeing all of my friends and I know a ton of people in all of my classes. A lot of my friends have moved into apartments this year which is new and exciting. I even have some younger friends attending Suffolk so its fun to see them every now and then.
My SU 101 class is great. We've only met once but the class is very dynamic and its a lot of fun. The professor I'm teaching it with is awesome and we share a lot of the course work. We have a lot of fun with the class since it is a 1 credit course.
I'm attending an accounting event called Meet the Firms next week for the first time and I'm pretty anxious/nervous about it. There are going to be about 35 different accounting firms there meeting with students for possible internships. I have my resume and cover letter but I need to print off copies for the event. I'm a little nervous about meeting with some of the bigger firms and I'm not even sure why I'm nervous. I'm definitely excited about it, I just want to make sure I'm fully prepared for it.
Now that I'm 21, I'm going to my first 21 birthday party for one of my friends. I was one of the first out of all my friends to turn 21 so now all of them are slowly turning 21. It's kind of exciting because its like starting a new chapter in our lives, not to be philosophical or anything haha. But anyways, she's doing a bar crawl so I'll probably meet up with her halfway through and finish the night with everyone at the Harp which is next to the TD Banknorth Garden.
That's all for now, I'm going to try and be a good "blogger" and blog whenever I can this year so hopefully there are more to come.
