there is light at the end of the tunnel!!

It has been nothing but great weather here in Boston, and school couldn't be over fast enough. There are only 6 more days until the end of the school year!! That means only 6 more days of work and studying and then it's summer!! However, I still have a dark cloud looming over my head because I haven't found a summer job yet.

I have worked almost all of my required hours here in the office, so last friday (i normally work fridays), i was lucky enough to spend the entire afternoon in the park with my friends. We played frisbee, got ice cream and even walked down to the river to put our feet in. It was such a great day i even got a sunburn! The weather also remained hot and sunny throughout the weekend and was perfect on monday, marathon monday. Here in Boston we have patriot's day on the third monday in april , which is also the same day as the Boston marathon. That means no school, and lots of fun!
I went to the race to see some friends who were running and spent the rest of the day hanging out with friends and wandering the city. There is always something fun to stumble upon in the city.

I need to get back to work and then head to library to study for finals. Hopefully I will have time to run along the river and watch the sun set.

catch ya later

4 weeks and counting...

this semester seems to be flying by, yet spring is killing me with anticipation if its arrival. You never know here in New England what the day will bring. Two days ago we had a 60 degree, sunny spring day and today, it's freezing and rainy....i think the thing i hate most about spring is all the rain; however, on the upside of things, there is less than 4 weeks of school left. I cannot wait for classes to end and to have a break from all this school work!! With the end of the semester approaching, I have many projects that need to be wrapped up and I also still have to get a summer job! I have been writing cover letters ad updating my resume, but with all of my classes taking up most of my time, I can't find a minute to finalize them and send them out. Hopefully this weekend I can send them out so that I can start interviewing.
Last Sunday the Admissions office held their annual Showcase for accepted students, and we have another Showcase coming up this Saturday, so I been getting a lot of hours in here at the office, but neglecting to update my blog. I also traveled to Westchester, NY last week for an accepted students reception, and to share my perspective on life as a college student. I like speaking to crowd and working in the admissions office gives me the opportunity to practice.

I just registered for my classes for next fall and I cannot believe that I am graduating soo soon. I have only 7 classes left to take and it will be such a nice change of pace to take only 4 classes in the fall and only 3 in the spring!! I am excited about graduation, but I am sad to leave school...it will be exciting to get out into the "real world" and start my career.

I'm not feeling that well, so I don't know what to write...I'm going to head home and get some rest.
until then...
