Weeks Are Just Flying by Here at Suffolk University

I just finished my 6th week of the semester so we're almost halfway done. Two midterms down, one presentation to go and I feel like Spring is getting very close. This past weekend here in Boston the weather was beautiful. It was 50 and it seemed like Spring had finally come. Then the forecast for this week has been miserable. I looked at the weather and for the next TEN days the forecast read, "Snow showers, heavy rain, showers, light rain, snow flurries, light snow, rain, snow, dusting of snow, mist, slush, sleet, freezing rain". I think you get the picture. I was so ready for Spring and everything that goes with it. Shorts, T-shirts, no heavy jackets, frisbee in the greenway, frozen yogurt, roof deck dance parties, you know the usual. BUT the rain has ruined it! I know its only the beginning of March and I'm sure there's going to be a huge storm at some point, but this weekend really got me in the Spring mood.

Suffolk has been putting on some good events for students lately. A few weeks ago we had a trip to Wachusett mountain for $35 for a full day of skiing/snowboarding. This Saturday we have a trip up to Loon, New Hampshire to go to Loon Mountain. The tickets were only $45 and it includes a round trip bus ticket, all day lift ticket, and rentals if needed. A lift ticket at Loon on a Saturday is usually $80 so that's a huge savings right there! We also have been selling Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins tickets lately. Tonight the Celtics play the Cavaliers and we sold tickets for $30. Today we also started selling Bruins-Canadians tickets for $20. This is just a tiny little bit of what you could be doing here on campus. Off campus there is a Black Eyed Peas and LMFAO in Boston on Friday. My roommate's girlfriend is going and she said tickets were really cheap. Another great thing to do here in the city!

My plans for the weekend are to go home tomorrow, probably go to the casino. Saturday I'm going to try and snowboard all day. Not sure where yet, I have a few possibilities. Sunday will definitely be dedicated to doing homework and getting ready for the week.
