Hey everyone!!

Today is my best friend Ashley's birthday :)!!

She just turned 19, which means she's older than me but oh well i accept that i'm a youngin'. Last night, 11 of our closest friends went to Margarita's for her birthday dinner. It was alot of fun and it was nice to get away from cafe food for a night. I'm not saying that cafe food is bad, you just need a meal off campus every once in a while :).

Let me recap the happenings of my life since my last entry.

Well last wednesday was my first midterm... yuck... but i got through it. It was for marketing and the class is pretty challenging but i did better than expected because i studied like crazy the night before. Yes, i am one of those people who put off studying till the last minute which is awful. I'm trying to change i swear ;).

On Saturday, I went with a bunch of my friends to my boyfriend's lacrosse game. (ok i didn't technically go anywhere cuz it was a SNHU home game so i walked from my room to the field, which if you have seen SNHU's campus, isn't a far walk at all).
They played C.W. Post from New York. C.W Post is like the 5th place team in the league. SNHU lost but they played a good game. The final score was 11-6.

Sunday was the guy day. I only say that because I went with my sister and four of my guy friends to go see the new movie 300 in the IMAX theater.

OMG! it was amazing! I know what your thinking.. most girls don't like war/killing movies but this one was soooo good.. (ok it helped that the whole Spartan army was incredibly good looking but that's beside the point ;) ) If you need a good guy movie to go see, see 300!! You will not be disappointed.

Now its a new week, and its half way done already. Jeez, this year has gone by sooo fast. I can't believe It is almost spring break.

Well thats it for me for now. I have to get started on my homework :) or take a nap.. i'm not too sure which one i'll do yet.

Just a little useless bit of information... Download "Dark Blue" - by Jack's Mannequin .. i'm listening to it now and i love it :) .

Until next time...

Byezz

Heyyy!!

"I would imagine if you understood Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy." - Mitch Hedberg (best comedian ever!! look him up)

My name is Emily, most people just call me Em. I am originally from Bayonne, NJ, which is about 5 hours away from SNHU. I am a hotel and resort management major. People always ask me if its hard to be so far away from home but my answer is always the same--Nope. I brought my home with me and her name is Liz. Liz is my twin sister, if you haven't already guessed.
She is my roommate and best friend so it has made the transition really easy. Even if I wasn't with her, I have made so many other friends here that I can't even fathom that I have only known them for 7 months. By the way, this is picture contains pretty much all of my friends except for my friend Ashley, who was a transfer student this semester.

SNHU is my home away from home. I love it here. Between my friends, classes, activities, social environment, and professors, I couldn't have asked for a better match.

Classes and grades so far for me have been pretty good. I ended last semester with a 3.5 so I was pretty happy with that (and so was my mom). Now its a brand new semester and I and trying to keep up that good grade streek.

okay I have to admit, when I was asked to do a blog I was pretty excited just because it just gives me another excuse to talk and express my opinions about anything. Since my friends are tired of hearing about what is going on in my life I figured the next best people are everyone on the internet :). However, i'm not going to use this blog to just endorse the school. It is a great place but I want all of you perspective students and parents to know what my life is really like as a Freshman at SNHU. I'm not going to sugar coat things because that just isn't who I am.

Now it is down to business. This week has been jam packed...with homework. However, that was completely my fault. Never let all of your homework pile up so you wind up doing all of it the night before it is due. This feeling stinks especially when your friends all want to to go out with them, watch their intermural basketball game, or just watch your favorite tv show and you can't because you are stuck doing homework. This completely explains my Monday-Wednesday of this week. Between a Marketing presentation to English assignments, I was sitting in my room trying to catch up on my homework. Once Thursday came around it felt so nice to just sit in my dorm room in Washington Hall and do nothing. College makes you appreciate how good it feels to do absolutely nothing. It also makes you appreciate naps, which I take full advantage of whenever I get a chance, which is rare. Today we had a snow day, which was fabulous. No one was expecting it so it was a nice little bonus to add to our week. My three day weekend is probably going to consist of homework, hanging out with friends, and sleeping late. Weekends around the SNHU campus are always amusing and interesting to say the least. I will definately fill you all in on the goings on in my next blog.

Well I believe that is all the information I have for you so far. FYI... in all my blogs, i'm going to attach random pictures of me, my friends, campus, pretty much anything that I think is relevant to what I talked about in the entry and even some non-relevant things ;), just to give you a quick look inside my life at SNHU.

Talk to you soon.

Byezzz :),

Em
