Of course we have to get another good 6 inches just days before our first game. Absolutely brutal. Thankfully the athletic department cleared off the field so at least we can get out there and play, but if it snows Friday night I may lose it. We have our first game on Saturday against Adelphi, who is in the top of Division II. It will be a real test for us, and hopefully start off the season on the right foot...crossing my fingers... Nothing new other than lax for life really. School is going well. My online class ends today, so I'm just finishing up a final for that. Then it's just three in the classroom and my internship. Internship is going well too, busy busy busy. Once games start it is going to get really tricky with having time for everything. But I'll figure it out, I always do! My parents FINALLY come home from Florida on Tuesday those punks. I'm so jealous they were there for 3 weeks! But they never go on vacation at all so they deserve it of course. My brother also just bought a house which is so exciting! I guess they are closing pretty soon and should be moved in at the end of March. My brother said if I wanted to live there over the summer I could pay $300 a month. I was like, why can't I just live there for free, you have 5 bedrooms!?!?!?! No word on the internship front yet...still waiting to here. I have gotten really lazy in following up with things, and I am definitely running out of time to line something up for the summer. I think I will call some places at home this week just to see, even though I would rather not live at home. The more I think about that, it scares me. I love home, and before I know it I will have to GROW UP. AHHHH!!!! Random thoughts today...not much is organized in my life these days.... http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/03/big_week.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/03/big_week.html Sun, 02 Mar 2008 12:11:43 -0500 I am so sick of the cold weather. We have had practice outside only two times so far, and there is only two weeks before our first game! I am ready to start playing outside, as much fun as the small gym is... I was able to retrieve most of my music...woohoo! Still missing about 1,000 songs, but at least I got 2/3 back. I am really getting into the swing of mxdwn now with reviews and editing, as there was kind of a period of time where nothing was going on for me on that front. Confirmed Australia! I CAN'T WAIT!!! I have to send my deposit in...which I am going to do right now actually, and I am good to go. No word yet on my internship possiblities. Hopefully I will hear something soon. I actually need to continue applying for them because deadlines are approaching fast. My brother just bought a house back home (in South Burlington, VT). I am so excited for him and his girlfriend. I guess they are moving in at the end of March, and they definitely can't wait to get out of their townhouse now. They are still down in Florida with the rest of my family. I talked to them all on Sunday and they passed the phone around so I could say hi to everyone. I am so jealous...I'm trying not to let that show through ;) So that's all for now. I have been crazy busy, and really missing my friends from home. Trying to stay in touch is tough when every minute of your day is planned out...ugh. But my friend Todd is coming a week from today! And I think two of my best friends are coming a week after that. So that will be good. I guess I am getting a little homesick :( Until next time...keep on keepin' on http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/will_it_get_warm_already.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/will_it_get_warm_already.html Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:42:24 -0500 ALLof my music on my computer and ipod. I am in the process of trying to retrieve it, but I can't even believe it happened, and I still am missing 1500 songs. Talk about BRUTAL. Also, my entire family left for Florida for three weeks today, and I can't go. Bummer. So for now, I am trying to remember to breathe and the exciting things that are happening in my life. And cross your fingers that my music magically appears. ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/rough_weekend_even_rougher_mon.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/rough_weekend_even_rougher_mon.html Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:48:56 -0500 So, I have been totally brutal at posting so there is soooo much to say. First off, winter break was fantastic. I saw all my friends and family, even the ones who go to school so far away. I also worked which was of course haineous. I work at a wholesaler for underwear. It's high end, insanely expensive underwear ($22-$26 a pop) that is sold to stores like Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and the like. Basically my job is to fold underwear, which is just as exciting as it sounds. Although, everyone that works there is my age so we usually have a pretty good time. Ok! On to a new semester, and this one is crazier than the last one. I am only enrolled in 4 classes because I am doing a 6 credit internship at Rock 101 in Manchester. The internship is in the promotions department and I work their events and remotes. It's fun and it is giving me some good experience and networking opportunities. I am taking a marketing course, a psycology course, and a communications course in the classroom, along with U.S. History online. I feel like I have more work with these than I had when I was taking 6 in the classroom! I guess that's what happens in Spring...lacrosse takes up all that extra time I had to do other stuff! Lacrosse is going well though, and we are really getting things together. I'm looking forward to season, and we are ranked number 10 in the country! (for D2 of course) Practice is going well, although the gym makes pre-season almost unbearable. We actually got outside on the turf yesterday which was awesome! I can't wait for more of that... So I have covered my bases I think. OH WAIT...I forgot to mention the most amazing thing that could have ever happened in February...THE NEW YORK GIANTS ARE SUPERBOWL 42 CHAMPIONS! Who would have thunk it? Even I, the devoted fan that I am couldn't have. I hate the Patriots, and Tom Brady, and the victory is just oh so sweet. I love it. Look for my article in the paper, you know I couldn't resist. And also, I am sick of everyone saying stupid things like the Patriots gave them the game. 5 sacks ain't no joke kid Until next time... http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/it_has_been_way_too_long.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2008/02/it_has_been_way_too_long.html Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:13:13 -0500 Hi! My name is Libby Parent and I am a junior at Southern New Hampshire University. I am studying marketing, but also minoring in communications and public relations. I am heavily involved with the student newspaper on campus and I also tutor math in the Learning Center and give tours in the Admissions office. I am also a member of the SNHU Women's Lacrosse team (go Penmen!) I am originally from Hinesburg, VT, which is about 20 minutes south of Burlington. I LOVE music, and I am starting an internship at Rock 101 next semester involving promotions. I also write reviews for an online music magazine. I love all kinds of music, new and old. Let me know of anything good! I am so glad to be done with the semester. I think this was my roughest finals week EVER in college. Four finals, and I had to stay until Friday. Brutal. But next semester, with the internship, I will only be enrolled in 3 classes, wooohooo! I'm looking forward to some downtime, but I'm sure I'll be ready to get out of mom and dad's house after a month. Enjoy your break from school, I know I will http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2007/12/the_way_i_are.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/LibbyParent/2007/12/the_way_i_are.html Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:06:49 -0500
