Starting Anew

Happy New Year, blog readers!

I can't believe it is already 2010 - the year I will graduate from college. I am back in the office a couple weeks early to catch up on hours, but soon I will begin my very last semester here at Suffolk. I will save the sappy, nostalgic stuff for later, but it really will be hard to leave this place.

Break has been a much needed escape from classes and stress. The end of the semester was wonderful, though. Winter Ball was a blast and Haley and Rachel threw an Ugly Holiday Sweater Party at their apartment. I went home for a week during Christmas and spent a lot of time working and catching up with old friends. The picture on the left is me with my best friend Jamie at my house on Christmas day. I came back to the city shortly after Christmas and spent New Year's Eve here in Boston for the first time. My roommate and I went to dinner in the North End and to the Improv Asylum's New Year's show. Then, we headed over to my friend's apartment in Brighton. It was a great way to ring in 2010!

Next week, a friend and I are driving down to South Carolina for our friend's graduation from Marine Corps boot camp. It's going to be a long trek, but I am really looking forward to going. It will be a nice way to wrap up Winter Break.

Then comes time for classes! This semester I am taking Women in Spirituality for my Philosophy minor, The Built World for my 2nd science requirement (ugh, leaving this until the last minute was a terrible life choice), an English Honors Seminar and Women in Literature to finish off my English major. I will also be returning to my internship at Teen Voices where I will mentor a small group of high school-aged girls as they develop a section of the magazine. I had a great time there last semester and am excited to go back.

Time to go give a tour. Here's to one last semester as an undergrad!
