"It may be long to get me there
It feels like I've been everywhere
But someday I'll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I'll be coming home"
- John Legend "Coming Home"

Hey everyone....

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but it has been a stressful two weeks. I've been focusing on school for the most part. It is "crunch" time in college terms. This is the time of year where you recieve every final paper and every review sheet imaginable.

Time-Management is key!!

I always knew that college work and finals week were going to be difficult but I never knew it was going to come around so quick. Ok so here's an idea of what I have to accomplish in the next two weeks:

- 10 page classical argument paper
- 8 page Information Technology Paper
- Statistics Project
- 5-7 page Sanitation Paper
- English final
- Marketing Final
- Sanitation/Security Final
- Statistics Final....

whew... yes i know what your thinking..... OH MY GOD!! because that is exactly what i'm thinking. I know I will get all of it done and to tell you the truth I don't really have a choice but now its just time to buckle down and bang out all this work.

Advice: Your last few weeks of school, you are going to want to spend as much time as you can with your new friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc., but don't! School comes first. Don't let all your work pile up until the last week just because you wanted to go out to dinner or you wanted to watch another movie with your friends.

Honestly, I can't believe the school year is almost over. I thought I was going to be excited to be finished with my first year of college and get to go home for a 4 month vacation, but to be completely honest, i'm really not. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my parents and my friends back home, but I have made another home here. I know it sounds so cheesy but it's true. I'm going to miss my dorm, my Massachusetts/New Hampshire friends, my freedom, etc. I'm glad, however, that I didn't take advantage of my college experience. Trust me, I made plenty of friends that didn't make it through their first year of college because they took it for granted. I'm proud that I stuck through it, made great friends, found a boyfriend, had fun, and still maintained a 3.5 GPA. College is an amazing experience if you are mature enough to handle it.

Anyway, my life isn't ALL about boring ol' school work. On Thursday I went to the John Legend concert in Boston at the Orpheium Theatre. He was AMAZING!! My friend Bryan and I went and I was soo happy to take a break from school stuff and just enjoy the show.

We had Great seats!

So anyway, other than that, I am pretty excited for this weekend because of the NFL Draft. I know what your thinking, why on earth am I excited about the draft? Well there is one simple answer........

I LOVE FOOTBALL!

Any Football fan will tell you that the draft is the start of their season. I'm so excited.

Well then that's all for now. I have to go and finishing writing my first draft for my classical argument paper. Talk to you soon.
