Hello again!

It's the Tuesday right after Spring Break, and I'm just totally swamped with work to do! =( This week, I have 2 midterms, a paper, and of course the usual homework assignments as well to get through. I'm pretty nervous about all this work because there is just a TON of material, so wish me the best of luck!

Anyway, I went down to Florida for Spring Break, and it was just great! It was definitely pretty nice to have gone back again after about 5 years since the last time, which was also my very first time. Three of my friends and I flew to Orlando late Friday night, but still able to wake up and drive down to Fort Myers. There, we caught a Red Sox Spring Training game against Northeastern with the final score being 14-0 Red Sox. Other things we did in Florida included visiting Englewood Beach, spending a couple of nights in Miami Beach, going on a bunch of rides in Universal Studios, and just walking around Downtown Disney.

During Spring Break, I also met up with a prospective student and his father, who came all the way up from Atlanta, Georgia! If I remember correctly, he's actually current a junior in high school. Regardless, a fellow classmate, Daniel, and I gave them a tour of West Village H (home of the College of Computer & Information Science) as we discussed with them many of the things going on here at the college. We had filled them in on the freshman experience, since it was only last year when we were in that position, and informed him of the different student groups we have. Both the son and the father seemed extremely pleased and excited for this college and really the university in general, and in turn, this makes me really happy as well.

If you're really interested in finding out more about CCIS or Northeastern, coming up here and visiting is definitely a good idea. Doing a campus tour is a good start, but actually talking to the current students one-on-one is even better. You'll get so much more out of discussion than just reading all the pamphlets and materials from the Visitors Center or the website.

I've done several open houses, welcome days, and many other prospective student events, and I honestly can't tell you how much I love talking to these prospective students and their parents! Although at these events, they're split up into the 6 different colleges and I only participate in the CCIS portion, I really love discussing what it's like to be a student here, and I mean everything I say!

Also, I know that admission decisions are coming right up, so I wish you all the best of luck! Wherever you decide to attend! Once again, I definitely recommend visiting campus and talking to students here at Northeastern, or just wherever else you're looking at too.

Oooh, in other news, I GOT A JOB OFFER from Smarter Travel Media! Not from FlipKey however, but I'm totally fine with that because either company would be a great place to work at it seems. They're also both in the same industry really. Anyhow, I'm still very excited, and now I just kind of want the semester to be over... =X

Well, I should really get back to my work now, but please, please, *please* feel free to leave some comments or questions. Let me know what you want to hear about! :)
