It's the Weekend!!!

So yesterday was my 23rd Birthday, and honestly it was pretty much what ever. You see 21 is the magic number for most and each year after your 21st is eh. Today was my second day at my internship and I didn't realize that there are places out there that really follow casual Friday. Some people were in jeans and I showed up in my Sunday best. I still haven't met the Senator because she has been out in her district attending meetings but I hope to meet her soon. Some of the committees such as the children and families and the higher ed committee are the two that I want to know more about.

On other news I am very excited that it's Friday because this week flew by which means this semester will fly by. I want this semester to be over because I want to graduate, I'm just eager to move on and something new. I finally completed my applications for Grad School and so now I am waiting on finding out when I can schedule interviews and such. So keep your fingers crossed, hopefully I can't into them and then from there decide which school to go to.

Barack Obama Day!!!

Today, my professor canceled class so that those who wanted to watch the inauguration would be able to. I decided to join a couple of friends at the Cafe in Miller Hall and together we witnessed history being made. I was amazed over the crowds that gathered around the Capital, it was reported that close to 1.5 million people attended the inauguration. I was so jealous for those 1.5 million, because I wish that I wasn't watching it on T.V, but rather I wished I was there in person, sharing the same emotions and excitement those 1.5 million people were experiencing. His speech I felt was powerful, he vocalized his passion for change as well as he expressed the need for the people to come together and help bring about this change. It's understood, that, change cannot be made over nigh, nor should we expect for there to be a drastic change in the next for years, but little are also very important and honestly I feel confident in President Obama and I look optimistic to the future.


To try and pull myself away from this rant let's move onto other news. So Grad School, I have only applied to two schools: Northeastern and Springfield College because to be honest those are the only schools I was interested in. Both schools from what I've heard have a great program for Student Affairs which are also counseling based. So hopefully and fingers crossed I get into both schools but the tough decision is knowing which school I want to go to.

So I started my internship at the State House yesterday which was awesome. The State House it such a confusing place to try find your away around. I got lost trying to get out of the building. Seeing as how it was only the first week I didn't didn't do a lot but once I've been there for a couple of weeks im sure things will pick up. The Senator that I work for is the chair of about 7 committees and so those hearings will start happening and I am excited to sit in on some of them. Working in this type of environment such as the State House is a completely new experience which I feel as though will be worth while.

A New Year, New Semester, and my last Semester!

So my break was awesome, I got some much needed RandR, went to NYC and saw Avenue Q for only 21 dollars, and had a great New Years. Now it's back to classes, Residents, and a new internship.

I still can't believe that this is my last semester and the weird thing is I am ready to graduate. Some people that I know are freaking out about graduating but I'm ready. I have had the best experience in the four years that I've attended Suffolk but it's time to move on and I am ready for that next step, which will be Graduate School. For now, I decided that I am only applying to two schools which is Northeastern and Springfield College, which both schools have an excellent program for Student Affairs.

Next week I will be starting my new internship at the State House, which I will be working with Senator Spilka, I am pretty pumped about it. It's going to be such a great experience and it will look great on my resume. The only thing I am not use to is having to get dressed up, and I mean the shirt, tie, and dress pants but it's a professional setting and so it's worth the experience.

So again, Happy New Year and Welcome Back!
