So this year I was lucky enough to interview in the Office of College Events for a work study position and be chosen for employment. It is really a great oppurtunity, and I am not talking just about the money that I can put towards school, but the experience overall. Work study opportunities here at PC can really teach you a lot of useful skills that you cannot learn inside the classroom.
This past weekend was Freshman Family Weekend and I was a busy bee both Saturday and Sunday. By working the events like this, I am beginning to learn the ins and outs of event planning - something that could be very useful in the future.
There are lots of jobs available on campus for students that offer similar oppurtunities for those with and without work study.
Like I said in my post earlier today, we had a great time making costumes yesterday with the San Miguel boys out of common household materials.
Here are pictures like I promised!

THE WHOLE GROUP!
October has almost come and gone and right now us PC kids are trying to get through this last week of mid-term exams. Lucky for me I only had one, in my ethics class, but my roommates had tests galore!
Once mid-terms are over, the hustle and bustle of registering for classes for next semester will begin. I cannot belive it is already that time! I am getting ready to plan out my 4th semester at PC, it just does not feel like I have been here that long.
Just to give you an update on my activities...
Admissions Ambassadors has been going great. Although my schedule does not permit me to have Day Visits, I have been giving an Information Session once a week. Speaking to a large group on a weekly basis has really begun improving my public speaking skills and I love talking to prospective students and families, and sharing my PC experience with them, in hopes that they will come here too!
Mentoring has also been going great! Two weeks ago we went on a scavanger hunt around campus and took silly pictures and had a great bonding experience. Yesterday the group acutally took a trip to the San Miguel School where our mentees are located and took a personal tour with them. They were able to show us their classroom, desks and their environment instead of always coming to ours. In addition, we had a costume contest. We were shown a table with limited materials such as garbage bags, straws, cup, plastic gloves, etc. and we had to dress our mentees up in a costume. IT WAS A BLAST, hopefully I will have pictures soon.
All in all October has been crazy busy, but in the end hardwork pays off!
Today is the annual Apple Fest at Ray where almost everything in our cafeteria some how incorporates apples. For lunch there was macaroni and cheese with apple which was delicious, also apple pizza, apple crisp and other treats for dessert and I cannot wait to see what they will have for dinner tonight too. Apple Fest means you know October is here and mid-terms are coming..dun dun dun..but it is a part of college and we will all make it through!
Late Night Madness is Friday, when we kick off the start to the basketball season. I am going to pick up my shirt tonight at McPhails, can't wait!
I woke up this morning and did not even realize it was October 1st. Where has the time gone?
It certainly does not feel like we have been at school a month already, but the calendar does not lie.
Since my last update, my schedule has not slowed down. I went home Saturday night of last weekend to watch my sister perform in her first marching band show of the season, which was great to see. She was really excited that I came.
Today was especially fun on campus because my friends and I went to go pick up our student tickets for the upcoming Friar Basketball Season. There was a cookout on the lower quad, and we got to pick up the tickets and our free t-shirts which have a new design that read, "Lets get friared up!" Different from last year but I really like them.
On Saturday I will be attending a scholarship lunch for all recipients who received financial aid from generous donors. We get to have lunch with the donors in 64' Hall and thank them for their support that helps us be able to go to PC. Hopefully there will be good food, haha! Do I sound like your typical college student or what?
Next week is crazy for me, 2 papers due and my first Civ Exam, but hopefully I'll have a free minute to update!
Hey everyone!
For the most part the first two weeks here at PC were pretty quiet. All students are just getting used to their new classes and professors, but once that week #3 hits, oh boy .. everything starts rolling!
This week I am finally full fledge into my sophomore schedule. I now have a workstudy job on campus and I am employed at the Office of College Events. Also, my Admission Ambassador duties have begun, with greeting ours in the Admission's Office and also day visits and info sessions as well. Oh yes! And I cannot forget about Dance Club which started up on Sunday and I had my first tap class of the year with a new choreographer which should be great.
Also, today began my second year as a mentor for the San Miguel school. My mentee Kenny and I were reunited and the group played community building games and had pizza. Below is a pic from today!
So far that is the scoop! I have my first paper due tomorrow, so I must get back to more writing. Talk to you all soon!
It is that time again, back to PC for yet another great year. The best part about this year is that I am no longer one of the freshmen that I see now, trying to figure out where my classes are, what the best meals are at Ray and various things like that. I'm officially a sophomore and it is so nice to already be accustomed to everything here.
This year I am living in Aquinas Hall which is right on the quad. It is in prime location because out the back door we have easy access to Ray and out the front we can get to the library very quick. I am very excited.
Today was my first day of classes and everything has gone smoothly so far, but it is back to the books and homework already. Please feel free to leave comments or questions just as last year and I would love to answer them! I'll be posting weekly!
THANKS!
Roomies -- Lauren, Me and Annemarie on move-in day!
Sorry I never got around to doing one last blog for Freshman year at PC, well anyways here it is.
Overall, my first year was everything that I thought it would be ... scary at first, stressful managing time, and getting used to new people, but in the end it is my new home.
Those first few weeks filled with scary moments turned into the routine that I grew to love, the stressfull classes and managing time became fun filled with hard work and extracurriclular activities and finally those new people transformed from complete strangers to my friends.
I'm home for the summer, enjoying the relaxation of no school work. But there is still that part of me, that can't wait to go back to Providence and do it all over again next year!
Talk to you all in September! Enjoy your summer!
P.S. I got accepted into the honors program, wooo!
Last Friday May 1st I had my last day of classes of my freshmen year at PC! But although that statement is exciting by itself, many great things came to an end last week that I will miss ..
Last Wednesday was the last time my San Miguel Mentoring group met and I got to see Kenny. We all enjoyed a barbeque on the lower quad and played wiffle ball and kickball. All the mentors and mentees got to sign PC frisbees and exchange them. I brought some candy to give Kenny as a "going away for the summer present" and he wrote me a letter. I will definately miss seeing him twice a month but hopefully he will be in the program next year as my mentee again.
For a "DONE WITH CLASSES" celebration a few of my friends and I went out to dinner on Federal Hill and had some delicious food. It was good to get away from campus for a while but then it was back to the library to study CIV. But it is all done. I took my CIV exam at 4:00 this afternoon and I can now say I am half way through CIV, wooo!
Tomorrow is a reading day and then 2 exams on Wednesday and a take home essay due Friday and home I go!
Here are some pictures from the BBQ:

One week from tomorrow I will officially be done my first year of college, so crazy! But with that said, I still have a whole week left and it is just jammed pack with so much stuff to do.
This weekend was the Dance Club Spring Show and it was a success as usual. It was sad to say goodbye to the seniors, especially Jenna and Aimee who choreograph my tap dance, they have just been phenomenal.
This morning was registration. I unfortunately had the second day of registration for my class so there was not a lot to choose from, but I think it all worked out. I'm taking 9:30 Civ, British Literature II, Contemporary Christian Thought and Intro to Human Services. It should be a good semester!
Tonight we have a meet and greet social for Admission Ambassadors at 5:00 and I am very excited about that. It is our first oppurtunity as new ambassadors to get to meet everyone and all that fun stuff so I am pumped!
Hopefuly I will have time to update again this week. To all you high school seniors out there, that May 1st deadline is approaching! Let me know if you have any last minute questions about PC !!
