It is the last full week of June, which means it is my last week at Kensington Investment Company! I am very excited to be done with my third and last co-op. It's been one crazy ride at KIC these past two years with the company feeling the effects of the recession. It has been a great experience furthering my knowledge of the real estate industry and also of the strategic decisions a company has to make to adapt to different economic climates. I've been involved in a few different aspects of the company and I definitely will be taking with me a lot of new/improved skills. I'll miss the people at the office. It's been really fun working with all of them and I'll definitely keep in touch. They're throwing me a going away lunch on Thursday too! Woot! Anyway, will I be working at KIC in the future? We'll see. If a position is available, then they'd be pretty high up on the list, but you never know these days. I do want to keep my options, though, and look around to see where else my experiences will lead me to. If you have any questions about the co-op program, definitely feel free to ask. I'll try to answer them with the best of my knowledge.

After this week, it'll be my summer off! It'll be my first since my freshman year! So, what's next for me? I have a few things planned ahead. In July, I will be spending about a month in New York City to experience life in the Big Apple. I am very excited. It'll be a good change of pace from my life here in Boston. August, I will probably be going to see my family in Cincinnati since it's been awhile since I've been home for more than a week. After that, I will be back in Boston to get stuff together for my semester abroad! I don't think I've mentioned this, but I was accepted to the Rome study abroad program through the College of Business. CBA recently started their study abroad program and as soon as a city in Italy was available, I hopped on it. Anyway, so after this co-op I'll be somewhat of a jet-setter. I'll try to keep all of you updated on my travels.
