AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! This is by far my most busiest semester EVER! I would never think that I would be so so so so busy but since Thanksgiving break is coming right around the corner it would be a bit busy, but not this busy! I have 2 projects, 2 exams, and had 3 writing papers due all within this week. I still have my 2 exams today and tomorrow and one last paper due Friday but I feel like I have no time in the day to do all of this. On top of that I have the Health Administration Society annual Christmas decorating party on Friday to organize so I have all these things to do within the next few days! AHHHH!!!!

I'm really excited for Friday because that's when a lot of my chaos is dwindling down. I'm really excited for the Christmas Party just because its a tradition that the students do for the Health Administration department. However, this year we are inviting more people and different clubs to come join. We invited the SHRM - Student Chapter Human Resources club and also ACHE which is the Graduate Health Administration club. We should have a huge turnout which is great because I think it would be a good opportunity to meet new students also we are all in the same wing of the building so it would be nice to have it all Christmas decorated. Also its good because being a HR minor helps so I can introduce all the HR students I know to the HADM students. Lets hope this will be a success!

I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving break to see my family and friends. Since my parents are finally back from Thailand we can hang out and also spend some time together. Also I got some presents as well so that is always a plus right? I can't wait to also go shopping for Black Friday. There are some things that I actually want but I don't have to worry about getting too hassled because I am looking for some new Snowboard gear and a lot of people don't really snowboard...well at least to my knowledge. That's another thing I am excited for is snowboarding this season since I missed out all of last year from being abroad. I have a few friends at Scranton who snowboard so it is going to be a good time when we all come back from Winter Break. My cousins are also going to be here for the Winter holidays so that makes me even more excited because I get to see them again this year! On top of that I may be working at Quest Diagnostics during the winter to help out a little bit with some of the workload which is going to be great for experience!

WOW I can't believe how much is going to happen in the next few months, I really can't keep track. All I know is that it is going to be really fun and quite adventurous! Well off to study, I have an exam at 6:30PM! YIKES! Wish me luck!

Take Care & have a good week! :)
