So I know its really out of the ordinary for me to blog twice in one week - or once a week for that matter - but I just realized that I have some things that have been going on around here that I wanted to write about in my last post but had forgotten to.

Cool thing #1: Murder on the Campaign Trail. Every spring, Suffolk puts on a dinner theater production, but this year was the first I have ever gone to it. It was a pretty funny show, and it was nice to see how much fun all of the actors were having while trying to get the audience to participate. I also went to their cast party and met some really cool new people. Moral of the story? Put yourself out there and try new things, especially at Suffolk. : )

Cool thing #2: I've found a new roomie for next year, and it is none other than Miss Emily Paige from the Admissions Office!! Trustee Ambassadors turned roommates - its a beautiful thing. In September, I'm moving into her apartment that she has now, so I'll get to stay in the North End for my senior year!! Nice apartment, fantastic roommate... I really feel like next year is going to be the best yet.

Cool thing #3: I'm going to another Suffolk theater production tonight - Hair. Its the second night of the show, and I've heard wonderful things about it from friends who went last night, so I'm really excited to go. That is definitely one thing that I really love about Suffolk - I feel like there's always something to do on campus. To my friend Amy who is in the show (and who probably won't ever see this... ): BREAK A LEG! : )

And finally, Cool thing #4: The seniors are almost done, and it really seems like they are really getting things together. By that I mean they are getting their post-undergrad lives figured out in terms of jobs or graduate schools for the fall. Many of them are wrapping up final projects and getting pumped for Senior Week activities and graduation. So to them - CONGRATS! & we will definitely miss you on campus.

But enough of that sappy stuff for now; they're not gone yet. : ) Hope you enjoyed these random thoughts.

Okay, so I haven't blogged in forever. There's just been so much going on around the Admissions Office that I haven't really gotten the chance. The past few weekends we've had showcases for accepted students, so its been a little chaotic here getting ready for those events. We had about 1,700 people come to the College of Arts & Sciences one alone, so we've probably spewed out more facts about the school and given more tours in the last couple weeks than we have all year combined. Craaaazzziinnessss!

Besides all of the office madness around here, we're also all sooo busy with wrapping up the semester. The good news is that I will officially be a senior before April is over! So exciting! The bad news? I have about five papers, three exams, and two books to read in the next 3 weeks or so. Yikes.... Best get crackin'!

In other good news, spring is really starting to blossom in this lovely city. Right now its still a little chilly, but its sunny out so I'll take it. Its supposed to be almost 70 degress out tomorrow! Woo hoo! So pumped for flip flop weather... Speaking of which, I'm going to head out and enjoy whats left of this sunny day. : )
