Happy Veteran's Day, everyone! This week I'm blogging from my apartment, enjoying the day off from school AND work... I'm not really sure how I managed to pull that one off.

Anyway, things have been pretty exciting at Suffolk since the election last week! Students are actually planning trips down to the Inauguration for class credit, myself included, so we've been busy planning that. I am going with Emily (my roomie), Kelly (a friend from class), and maybe Kayla (a fellow Ambassador). What is really cool about this trip is that everything is paid for from our tuition at Suffolk except for transportation to and from DC and food once we get there. We're going for 9 days before the Inauguration to meet different reps from different agencies and departments, with a few days off in between so we can explore the city ourselves. I went to DC for my 8th grade field trip, and although I absolutely loved it, I am certain that I'll appreciate things much more now that I'm older and I'm not stuck on buses with 200 classmates for 4 days. This Inauguration is so historical, and it'll be so cool to be there for it; I can't wait!

I'm also in a really great mood right now because I just spent last weekend having a blast with my sister in Providence. She goes to school down there, and we hardly ever see each other, so it was really nice to spend a few days together in her city. She showed me some different parts of the city, and we spent a good amount of time at the Providence Place Mall - one of my favorite places to visit in RI. You'll probably think that we're crazy because we did our Christmas shopping this weekend for those who we give combined presents to (we don't have enough money to buy people nice things separately... haha). Its nice to have it out of the way... Now I just need to figure out what to get for her... Hm.

The rest of this week is sure to be hectic with papers to write and presentations to plan, but its all leading up to the biggest Admissions event at Suffolk every year: Open House. Its this Saturday, and this all day event will be so crazy for all of us who are working that it won't really feel like the weekend until Saturday night around 4:30 or so. If you happen to be attending, we hope that you really like what you see at Suffolk, and hope that we can answer all of your questions about applying, classes, student life, or anything else you might think of. Hope to see you then! : )

The Utility Warehouse CashBack card is a unique card that gives you 5% CashBack on food and fuel at Sainsbury's, clothing, DIY, health and beauty products, household and electrical goods at thousands of stores across the UK One can expect the same from used forklifts in Maine as well. Both Hyster and Toyota forklift models give you other fuel options such as using LP (liquid propane gas).If you are going to be using your forklift truck in an outdoor environment you can purchase a pneumatic tire version instead.Depending on the area of the country you live in, you may also want to consider getting a model which has a heated or air-conditioned forklift cab. Do you foresee storage space becoming a problem in the future and need to be able to store goods at high levels? Is there a mezzanine or high level area you need to stack onto? On the flip side, what is the lowest doorway or beam you will need the forklift to fit under and do you need a forklift with a small enough mast to fit into shipping containers? Pete finds himself in a sludge area facing dead monsters and even creepier monsters and freaks out. When he sees the other monsters coming after him, he calls them schoolboy names and screams like a girl.
