Hey all!

Happy summer! Although it hasn't really seem like it in Boston for a long time now, even when it officially became summer a few days ago. Make the clouds and rain go away!

Today was the last day of finals for Summer 1 courses, and I had my one and only exam yesterday afternoon for Calc 2. It went alright. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Regardless, I'M DONE WITH CLASSES UNTIL JANUARY! Yay! :)

This week, I've got nothing planned except for some work and relaxation (contradicting, no?). Then on Thursday night, I'm going home for a few days, coming back Tuesday night, and then starting my new co-op job on Wednesday! I'm super excited about just working full-time and not have to worry about schoolwork. It has honestly been pretty difficult this past year balancing between work and schoolwork. It's certainly nice to make money while in school, but if your job actually takes a lot of effort, it can get hard.

With only having to working on weekdays, I'll have my evenings and weekends free. I'm hoping that with at least with my weekends, I can do some traveling done. At some point, my friends and I would like to go to Canada, and later, we may go to Seattle and/or San Diego to visit our friends who are co-oping out there. I'm very much looking forward to these trips!

Around this time, a bunch of people have either left or are leaving soon, and it's quite said to see some of my friends go. I'm definitely going to miss their company while they're away, but hopefully, I can hang out with those are still here or returning. Everything's just so quiet right now! 3 out of 4 of my roommates are moving out, and new ones will come in...although myNEU tells me that only 1 is. Odd. However, I'm mostly excited for when my friends will move in for the fall. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Which reminds me, if you haven't already, you probably should be getting your housing info soon, which I know is a very exciting time!! I think I tried calling my roommates the moment I received my letter in the mail. It was slightly awkward, but still cool at the same time. However, I think a couple of them hadn't even received the letter yet, so I think it was a little weird for them. >.<

Also, I know that this week is the first week of orientations. Perhaps you attended this one or maybe you have one coming up. I remember my orientation. It was quite an interesting and exciting time. Although it wasn't all that much fun sitting through those information sessions, it was definitely nice to meet so many people, especially those in your orientation group, who are really going to your peers in the fall. (They group students by college.) I also found it exciting to set up my schedule as well, as weird as that sounds. :D

Next week, I believe, is the first week of orientation that will include the CCIS groups. During your advising period, there will actually be some upperclassmen hanging around just to talk to you and stuff. I attended a few last summer, and it was a good time getting to know some of the freshmen, now rising sophomores. Unfortunately, I can't go to the orientations this summer, but I'm sure whoever's there will be great to talk to!

Anyway, this is all I've got for now, but I hope you all have a blast at orientation, and maybe I'll even see you around campus somehow! Until next time!
