Mini-Vaca

After a very stressful week preparing for my DD presentation and Easter on Sunday I took a mini vacation this past weekend. My boyfriend's band Aberdeen City played a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in NYC, so we packed up the equipment and drove down with the rest of the band. The show was on Friday night and was AWESOME...

I had only seen them play once, so it was great to be able to see them at such a small venue and hear some of their new songs. On Saturday that weather was awful, but we made the best of it an toured around the city and went to lunch at an amazing seafood place. After that I met up with my best friend (from my hometown, who now lives in NYC) and we went to a really nice dinner and then out on the town. On Sunday we drove to Connecticut for church and Easter dinner with his parents. It was nice to take a weekend break from school work, but now I have to make sure I have no other distractions.

Yesterday I had to work here at Admissions and give a tour to a group of visiting high school guidance counselors. I gave a tour of campus and spoke on a panel about my experiences as a college student. I like to share my experiences with prospective students, parents and anyone who comes to campus so that they can learn more about life at Suffolk as well as have some of their many questions answered.

So my internship is coming to an end and I cannot believe how fast it flew by. When I started I had to complete 120 hours, which I thought was going to take me a while but I only have about one week left. I hope they have enjoyed working with me and know just how much I have learned from being a part of their team.

Tonight is the Graphic Design Senior Show reception at NESAD, where all of the graphic design graduating students put their work on display and invite family, friends and colleagues to a reception in the gallery to show off their work. I will be attending the event and am anxiously awaiting the Interior Design Undergraduate and Master's Show and Reception on May 7. This is a time we get to pin up our thesis projects in the gallery and show off what we have been working on for months, to everyone- very exciting.

Following that is senior week events and then Graduation!!!! I will be attending some of the senior week events, but not all of them. I will be going to a clambake on the beach in Newport, RI, a night at The Red Hat bar and I was supposed to go on an overnight white water rafting trip to Maine, however I think I will have to sell my tickets because I have an exit interview for school that day.

I am very excited for this Tuesday because I am being honored at Suffolk University annual day of Recognition for the award of Outstanding Academic Excellence in the Interior Design Department from the New England School of Art & Design. I was going to attend the event to receive my award, however I just found out that it is the same time as on of my classes so I will not be able to attend. I will have to make some arrangements to pick up the award at a later time.

Wow- well I have a lot going on these days and I feel like I just spit it out all over my blog. I normally try to keep my posts a bit more cohesive and focused to one topic, but this week I just wanted to tell you about all that is happening.

I should probably be getting back to work,

Blog ya later
