Alright everyone, I know I've been falling off with blogging lately, but I'm going to get back on track, promise! So the semester started last Tuesday and ever since then, I've definitely been doing a lot of work. I'm currently taking educational psychology, interpersonal effectiveness, international management, management information systems, and operations management. Basically I've had a lot of readings which are just time consuming, I really haven't had much work to do.
So far I'm really enjoying my classes for the most part. I love my educational psychology class and the professor I have is the head of the education department which is pretty nice. It made me wish I was in education from the start, but atleast I'll still be able to take education classes before graduating. And of course my intention is to go to graduate school for higher education or college counseling so there will be plenty of opportunities to take more education classes.
Today was the first day back in the office and there was a flood! How crazy is that? March 6th is the only Students with Students information session this semester, so I highly suggest signing up for it. You can sign up by going to suffolk.edu/admissions and under Embark, find students with students information session. Students with students is special because there are no admissions staff there. Well almost none, Suffolk probably wouldn't let us students run an event entirely by ourselves so there is one admission staff member there, but he/she is never in the room with us when you guys get to ask us questions. You'll get to hear from about 5 students and then there's a huge question and answer session. I think its one of our most popular information sessions, so sign up now!
Time to start some homework, I'll try better to blog more often these coming weeks!

First Blog of 2010
Happy new year everyone! Hope you all had a great new years and are enjoying your winter break. I'm not going to lie, this new year has started off a bit rough for me, but its partially my own fault. But first I'll recap the past few weeks!
Christmas day night, yeah does that even make sense? Well the night of Christmas day I went snowboarding with some of my friends from home. It snowed while we were there which was cool and it was the first riding session at night this year! Then I came back to Boston because my friend Alisha came up to visit me from New Jersey. We had a great time even though she was only here for a little while. Saturday night her bus got in late so we went out to dinner at Ned Devine's in Faneuil Hall, then we went to an improv show at the Improv Asylum in the North End. I had never been to an improv show there before but it was so funny! We literally couldn't stop laughing the entire time we were there. We also watched District 9 which was a decent movie, we were a little lost on the story line but it wasn't a bad movie. Sunday we were lazy and watched football but went out to dinner in the North End at Al Dente. It was really good and its one of the more affordable restaurants in the North End so I highly suggest it! We grabbed dessert at Mike's Pastry, a must have when in the North End and then she had to leave to go back to Jersey.
Monday I went down to Mohegan Sun with a few of my high school friends. And then Tuesday I went snowboarding at Wachusset. I was pumped because the mountain got fresh snow Monday night so I was ready to ride all day long. I only made it 5 runs. What I didn't think about was that Sunday it was really warm, almost in the 50s and a lot of the snow melted and then refroze when it snowed Monday. Since we didn't get more than a few inches, the mountain was basically an ice rink. My first few runs I realized that the mountain was really slippery and it wasn't going to be an easy day. On my 5th run of the day, there was a skier in front of me carving back and forth. I went to pass her but she cut back at the last second and I had to try and stop quickly. Unfortunately my board hit an ice patch and I landed straight on my left shoulder. Barely making it down the mountain I figured I busted it pretty bad. I ended up going to Mass. General Hospital and found out I had a seperated shoulder. Awesome. My arm was in a sling for a few days but I stopped wearing it because it was so annoying!
I spent New Year's in Boston, but it wasn't exactly what you would call a great New Year's. My arm being in a sling kind of killed it for me. But I still made it out to Haley and Rachel's and brought in the new year with friends.
I'm getting excited to start spring semester with new classes and get back into the swing of things. I'm taking five classes again while also working in admissions so I'll be busy like usual, but I'm not a teaching assistant this semseter so I'll have a little more free time.
That's all for now, have a great week everyone!
