It's Almost Over!!
The days are dwindling down...(Thank God!!), I go home in 9 days and I CANNOT WAIT!! Because I am in the 3-year program, we have our finals this week and then integration starts on Friday. This one is the best one because it is the last one! Next year as a senior, we work with a real company rather than answering fake problems that a company may face.
Things have been extremely exciting here on campus over the past month or so. There are many different activities going on to keep students busy, on top of finishing projects and studying for finals! Two and a half weeks ago, Third Eye Blind and State Radio were on campus for our big concert of the year sponsored by CAPE. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the concert because I was in New York City on a field trip with the Economics and Finance Association. During the three days that I was there, I walked into Donny Osmond. When I told people here on campus, they either didn't know who he was or told me that I was a lunatic. I SWEAR THAT I SAW HIM. ASK JILL LANDERHOLM!!
Work in the athletic department has been busy as well. We have had many baseball, softball, women's and men's lacrosse games going on and the women's lacrosse team has made it to the finals!! This past Monday, I worked at our Athletic Awards banquet and I have to say that I was very impressed. All of our athletes looked very classy and some very deserving people got some great awards. My roommate Casey was nominated for the Female Sportsmanship award, but unfortunately she didn't get it (sad face). My job as a tour guide in admissions has also been busy as many prospective students have been coming to visit our campus. We are having our end-of-the-year banquet at Jillian's in Manchester tomorrow night, which I am very much looking forward to!
One of the big struggles about going home at the end of a semester and having bills to pay is trying to find a job that will pay for them. Some of my recent tasks have included applying to jobs back home in Maine and trying to interview for them from New Hampshire. One thing I didn't realize was how hard it was to find a job in your area of study before you graduate; many companies are looking for post-graduates. I guess I could look on the bright side and say that I'm only one year away from graduating!!
Well I suppose that's it for now...this will probably be the last time I write this school year. I will try to keep all of you updated as the summer goes on and definitely when I get back to school in the fall!!
Happy Reading and Enjoy Your Summer Vacation!!
