Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't written a blog in a couple weeks. Since break last week, I have lost track of time and my dates are off! Last week, I left for fall break on Thursday and I had a lot of papers due before I left as well. What I didn't realize was that fall break also marks the half way point through the semester so I am halfway done to one more semester of my college career! How crazy is that? I always say "how crazy is that?" but I can't help it. It honestly does feel like I just entered college 3 years ago, and now I am going to graduate. I also found out graduation is May 30th!

Besides thinking about graduating in May, I had a great Fall Break! I got to spend time with my parents and my sister because I haven't seen them since I have been at school. My parents are leaving to go back to Thailand and Singapore for vacation and since I won't see them while I am at school, it was good to spend time with them. Also,I got to do some shopping, see some of my friends from high school and also people from work. It was good to catch up with friends from home because we don't get to see each other very often since we all go to different Universities and Colleges. The next break is actually Thanksgiving so I hope to see everyone when I go back! I may go back home a couple times, but I do plan on visiting Rutgers and Penn State this semester to see my friends! So excited! This month is going to be so hectic, so lets hope I can handle it!

The Health Administration Society Pumpkin Fundraiser is going so well! We have been receiving so many letters that I was so shocked to see how much we got. So far we have about 70 letters and there are still 2 more weeks before we start delivering the pumpkins to the freshman! I am so excited that we are doing so well and this fundraiser will definitely benefit for club events and our trips to different health care facilities! Thank you so much for all the support for the club and all of the officers and members who are making the fundraiser so successful.

The weather this week has been so crazy! Cold rain and the Weather Channel said that Scranton has a winter advisory and that it will snow from Thursday - Saturday. Oh crazy weather please don't make us sick and more cold! It is way too early don't you think? Stay warm everyone have a good weekend!

Take Care!
