Hi! :]
Hi! My name is Nicole Onello. I am a current sophomore at SPC majoring in Economics and Finance and minoring in International Trade and Finance. I have always wanted to travel; these fields will hopefully enable me to mix a bit of business with pleasure. I was born and raised in Hudson County. Living half an hour up the boulevard allows me to be involved on campus without living here. I am a member of our radio station, WSPC Radio. Many students are not aware that we broadcast via internet. My job is to help get the word out in the Promotions Department. If you are interested in listening to our on-air talent, feel free at http://www.spc.edu/pages/1788.asp.I am also the Communication Chair for the Pavo Society. We are the friendly faces you encounter when visiting our campus and receiving a tour.
This semester is drawing to a close and the work is piling up. There is less than a month left and yet I am calculating the remaining days in terms of how many papers I have left to write, which is about three big papers. I am writing this entry as a Word document is minimized for my Seminar class in Macroeconomic Policy. I am looking forward to having a four day weekend, thanks to Holy Week, to accomplish a lot of work I have procrastinated on. I have also been balancing work with fun outings. In the past two and half weeks, I have gone bowling, karoking, to the batting cages, and ice skating. It's fun to hang out with friends and forget about class work.
I should definitely keep my singing confined to the shower but it was a lot of fun!
This Saturday, I attended a 'spiritual retreat' with some of my friends here at SPC. I am one of three who will be making Confirmation here at the end of April. Confirmation is one of the sacraments that I never made for reasons that vary. Coming to SPC has opened my mind and given me a renewed sense of my faith. I thought that there was no better place than here to take the next step of being confirmed. There were about eight of us, including Father O'Brien and Father Braden. It was extremely insightful and made us look into the depths of ourselves including our hopes, fears, strengths, and weaknesses. It was an open conversation followed by a shortened mass. The retreat was a fun afternoon spent with good company!
Stay tuned for more updates on my life here at Saint Peter's College! :]
