I wanted to start off this blog by encouraging you guys to check out the new Suffolk blogs. Our new bloggers have some great insight into the school, and I'm sure they have tons of stories to share with you guys so I definitely would check their blogs out!

Okay, so its that time of year again. Basically, I get really sick once a year - usually in March. Without fail, March 8th rolls around and what happens? I develop some sort of sinus infection... as I'm lost in Dorchester, in the pouring rain. Clearly not a great start to the weekend, but it definitely got a little better despite the fact that I thought I was on my deathbed.

I went to see the Suffolk grad student production of the Vagina Monologues after that. It really was such a good show - something that everyone should see if given the opportunity. My bestest friend Rebecca did the set design and lighting for the show, so I went to the show with her roommate, Amy, and boyfriend, Greg, for moral support. It turned out to be one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. One of my favorite parts of show was sitting next to a guy and hearing his reaction to a feminist show aimed at empowering women. He was also lucky enough to be singled out as a male ally for women, and was asked to lead the "vagina chant," and his taking-charge attitude cracked me up as he enthusiastically agreed to do so.

After taking Monday and Tuesday off from school as sick days, I had to return to classes today. The classes themselves weren't bad, but the day goes by so much slower when you're not sitting in your pj's watching Full House and the Price is Right all day long. I have so much work to catch up on now. That's the main reason why I hate being sick during the school year: its nearly impossible to get caught up on everything afterwards. Thankfully, Spring Break is next week, and I CANNOT wait to take a few days off from school. NEW YORK CITY -- here I come! Crossing my fingers for finding the Cash Cab! : )
