Now that October is a wrap, I think I can finally breathe again.Last month was so jam-packed with projects, papers, special events, exams and celebrations that I really feel relaxed for the first time in a while now that its all done and over with. Not to say that I never had any fun...

Emily and I threw a party on Friday night for Halloween, and it was a total blast! Our really good friends came over - everyone showed up in a costume, which I think is a feat in itself - and it was so nice to just let go and not worry about school or work, and just enjoy each others' company. I dressed up as a hippie, which some might say isn't really too much of a stretch from my usual character, but it was a fun/free costume so it worked. To the right is a picture of my friend Ashley (aka Lara Croft), and I. Nicole (aka Madonna) and Kayla (aka an Elf), fellow Ambassadors, stopped by and it was so great to hang out with them outside of the office! It really made my realize how much I miss
hanging out with everyone when I'm so busy with work, so I really want to try to see everyone more often. You're only an undergrad for a few years, and its definitely really important to take advantage of it because you'll definitely meet some of your best friends in college.

Last week we also kicked off our first event in a series of Senior activities: we had dinner at Boston Beer Works. It was so surreal to think that we're almost done with our second-to-last semester at Suffolk - only about 5 or 6 weeks left to go! But it was a lot of fun to get everyone together and play some pool and whatever. We rented out a function room so we were very segregated from the rest of the place, which was really cool. I also met some new people, which is always interesting when you think about how you've gone to school with these people for a few years and you have only just met now. It was such a fun night and I'm definitely looking forward to more Senior activities; we're planning a ski trip during the winter and about two weeks worth of activities between the end of classes in the spring and Graduation Day so we'll have plenty of time to celebrate.

Anywho, this week should be pretty mellow. I have some stuff due during the week, and I get to teach my SU101 class on Tuesday so that should be fun. I really like the students in my class this year; I always leave class with a smile on my face because they really crack me up. They're crazy and I love it. I'm wrapping up the week with a trip to Providence to visit my sister for a few days, so I'm really pumped about that. I hardly ever get to see her during the school year so its nice when I can get away and visit her. Plus, shopping at Providence Place Mall is always nice to be able to do... haha If only I had any money to spend...
I have to wrap this up because I'm blogging from my apartment this week, and my best friend and I have a phone date scheduled in a few minutes. She moved to London in August, and we don't get to talk as much as we wish we could, so we have a lot to catch up on!

One last thing... DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON TUESDAY!! Its totally time for a change... : )
