Second week down!

Tomorrow marks the end of my second week of classes for the Spring '08 semester and I have quite a few things to look forward to this semester so I really wouldn't mind the time passing a little faster; the first few days/weeks always seem to drag on for some reason.

I had the unfortuante encounter of being asked to recap a reading assignment in my Business Ethics class today, and for the first time ever, I hadn't read the story so I obviously couldn't do it. Of course I read all the other assignments and had taken notes on that, but the one thing I didn't read was the one thing my teacher decided to call on me for...figures.

I have the feeling that no matter how much homework I do, I won't be able to be ahead in any of my classes. I'm constantly frustrated because I don't have PowerPoint on my laptop, why I didn't get it when I got my laptop I don't know, and all the computers in the lab in Somerset mysteriously don't have PowerPoint anymore so I can't look at the slides for my classes and I can't print them out. Maybe I'm just lazy because I could go to the library but that would require borrowing a laptop, finding a place to sit, waiting for it to load...excuses, excuses, I know, but I don't want to go anywhere in the cold!

Speaking of the cold, the weather lately has fluctuated so much it's ridiculous! Two weeks ago it was in the 50's and now it's in the 20's. People say global warming is a huge issue, but on cold, gray days I tend to disagree.

Exaclty one week from now my sister and I will be seeing the Spice Girls at the Garden! I've never been so excited about anything before. This is just one of the reasons why I love Boston: They get great performances that the lovely state of CT does not have. Then, on Thursday my friend and I are going to see Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood at Mohegan Sun. I'm quite the spoiled child, but I did buy the Spice Girls tickets.

Lastly, I'm looking forward to Disney in March! Less than 2 months from now I will be in 75 degree weather in shorts and tank tops, swimming in a pool, and having the time of my life! And this is what I think about everyday when I go to class, take exams and do essays. 52 days and counting!

What a break!

Winter break is over for us Suffolk students and I had a great time at home. I worked a lot to save money for Disney and I got to catch up with all of my friends from high school who I haven't seen in a while. But I have to say I certainly did miss Boston, not just because of the fact that I didn't have to pay for gas for my car, or because everything is in walking distance (including Starbucks where I have acquired about 4 giftcards from Christmas) but because Boston got a lot more snow than CT did and the city is really pretty during the winter...cold but pretty.

The Spring semester started off rather nicely with the first day of classes being cancelled to the snow. My roommate and I weren't too happy when we got phone calls at 4:30 in the morning to tell us that the University was closed. I suppose it didn't matter since we went right back to sleep for a few hours afterwards.

So today my spring semester has officially started. I had three classes today: English Literature, Marketing and Statistics. The professors were all extremely nice, but the workload this semester is going to be hectic. I also have Accounting and Business Ethics tomorrow, so my work load is only going to increase.
