cold!

It's back to RMU for my final semester and cold weather is here to greet us. I heard from one of the local news stations that it's the coldest it's been in Pittsburgh in like 15 years. I'm not a huge fan of winter although I can sometimes tolerate snow but this cold is too much! The campus is really pretty with the snow though...I took this picture yesterday morning on the way to work.

The first week of classes went pretty well. I only have 3 classes this semester and an internship so I'm hoping to have a great last semester. Wednesday my friend Jenna and I went to Mellon Arena for the Pens vs. Capitals game. They lost, unfortunately, but we still had a good time. It was a nice way to break up the week. It was a good week but it was nice to have something fun in the middle.

It's really hard to believe that I'm so close to being done. The past few years have flown by...there have been a lot of great times. Working in Admissions helps me remember what it was like to do the whole college search though when I'm giving tours to prospective students. All I can suggest is that you have to find what is right for you. I liked RMU because of its great reputation and I just felt at home here. If you are interested in RMU and haven't been to the campus I definitely suggest that you schedule a tour. The atmosphere of a school can completely change your opinion of it.

Any questions, comment on my blog!

my last semester!

My last few days of "freedom" are coming to an end as the spring semester approaches. I've had a great Christmas break at home. I've spent a lot of time with family and friends and had a great holiday season. I wrapped up my first internship about 3 weeks ago and turned in my portfolio. it was a really great experience and I'm really glad I did it.

Speaking of internships, I started my new one today. I did training and got to know the people I will be working with. I'm really excited for it...I'm not really sure what I want to do after graduation but I like the sounds of what I'll be doing as an intern this semester so I'm hoping maybe it will point me in the right direction. Graduation is going to be here before I know it. I've had a great break but I'm looking forward to heading back to RMU to see how everyone's break was and get back into a routine. I'm hoping to have a little bit more free time this semester because I have one less class than I usually do. So hopefully I'll have more time for fun and then more to update about! :)
