BARZA HASHMI

İHola!
So a lot has happened this week...here is a quick update... this past Monday we had elections for Student Government positions, and I was re-elected as Vice President of the Class of 2010..yay! I love my position and I am so excited to represent my Class once again but this time I will be a senior in August (WOW!) As a VP I get to meet my fellow class members and make changes for them on campus, like hosting events on campus.

After a long and waited time period, I finally got my four wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday. Trust me…it was not fun. Everyone has told me that my face looks pretty good for someone who underwent such surgery in the mouth. I MUST HAVE BEEN THE LUCKY ONE! It really is so difficult not talk for someone like me. Because I do a lot of talking, my mouth has been hurting a lot. Hopefully I will get better by the end of this new week!

Friday, I totally had a blast with my sister! We went to the Village in NYC to buy her prom dress for her high school prom. After doing some final shopping around, we FINALLY FOUND THE DRESS! It isn’t your average prom dress which is why I really liked it. Here is a picture of the dress, isn’t it beautiful?

Then came Saturday, OPEN HOUSE! The turnout of all the prospective students and families was wonderful and the weather was amazing! During the spring season Saint Peter’s beautifies the college by planting all new flowers. Here are some pictures of the Open House including some eye catching flowers planted in the Quad.

I am so in love with this tree, it's so pretty!

This is Mike, our Freshmen speaker at the Open House Welcome Address and did a great job speaking about his experiences here at SPC.

Here is Megan, an recent alumna of the college and an Admission Counselor & Juan, who is a Senior member of the Pavo Society. I was a fan of the balloons Megan was holding at the end of the Open House.

Today was the Six Flags trip! We had a large group of students go this morning at 9 AM. I didn’t go because I am not really a fan of roller coasters because I get sick but I helped set up breakfast for everyone. Hopefully when they get back tonight, I can post some photos of their amazing time at Six Flags.

Well that was the update of the week. I really can’t believe it is over! How quickly time flies when you’re having fun, right? My life is defiantly never boring, so stay tune for my next blog! İAdios!

Hi Again!

It has been such a hectic week for me since the last time I blogged. Just a quick update from my last blog, I got a 15 OUT OF 15 on my Cross burning presentation. I was really nervous at first but my professor said I did a great job on presenting the facts. After presenting such a difficult topic, I am so prepared for future presentations.

At the moment, I'm co-hosting a three day event called Peacock Adventure Days, which includes Paintball shooting, Whitewater Rafting, and Six Flags. Last week, we had about 60 of our students who went to our Paintball shooting trip with Skirmish USA. It was good times!

Here is a picture we took before battling. We fought hard on the battle field!

Here is a picture of some of the E-board members who helped me host this event. Far left, is Samantha (VP of the Class of 2011, and is a great person to know), in the middle is Anthony ( the President of the Class of 2010, and my right hand man) and on the far right is Kat ( President of the Class of 2011, and is one of the most down to earth person that I know.)

I am preparing for our last two Peacock Adventure Day trips. One of which is Six Flags which will take place in two more weeks! WE'VE ALREADY SOLD OUT OF TICKETS! And the following is Whitewater Rafting in Pennsylvania, which I am REALLY looking forward to because I love rafting! I go with my family ever summer to go rafting.

Last but never the least I have two papers to right, which means I better get started because they're due on Wednesday. I hope to keep you posted, catch you later!

P.S No matter how hectic my life is, I love every minute of it!

Hiya! My name is Barza Hashmi. Even though I live in Jersey City, NJ, I defiantly commute 6 "LONG" blocks...I emphasize the long. Currently a junior (going to be a senior in Aug., so crazy!), and I'm majoring in Accounting with double minors in Business Law & Spanish. I'm known on campus as the "Buzy B", mostly because I've very active on campus. I'm the Vice President of the Class of 2010, Development Chairperson of the Pavo Society, Member of the Accounting Society and Business Law Association. Since freshmen year, I've learned so much just from being involved on campus. Right now, I'm prepping for my Contemporary Legal Issue class debate. Basically I was presented with an issue, "Should a blank prohibition of cross burning be considered unconstitutional?", and I have to debate the Yes side. It really was a lot a work researching, and I hope when I present the issue I do well. Defiantly stay tune to my blog to hear more about my interesting yet very adventurous life! Catch you later!!
