I just found out yesterday my British Empire class will be ending a week early. I'm thrilled. Our professor also extended the deadline of our paper from the 22nd to the 27th so I have an extra weekend to work on it. Amazing.
Tomorrow my Pirates class is having a Pirate Food day and I'm a little terrified to see what kind of food my professor brings in.
Then next Thursday we're taking a walking tour of Boston focusing on pirate locations and then the final week (27th & 29th) we'll be watching Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. So stoked.
My other two classes aren't nearly as exciting for the next two weeks. One frustrating thing about my Small Business Management class is there are 8 teams, 7 of which have given presentations 2-3 times. Only 1 team has given a presentation once. It's completely unfair as my group has to do a paper, powerpoint and present 3 times and this one group only has to do a paper. No one has any idea why this team is getting preferential treatment; maybe they aren't and my professor keeps forgetting about them. Ugh.
I have to remember to stop at CVS on my way home today. I'm basically out of toothpaste, I have no tissues or paper towels. I've been forgetting to go for days. Anddd I need to do laundry. Just another thing to add to my list. Blah.

It's crazy to be able to say I only have 7 days of classes left in my Undergraduate time here at Suffolk. Since I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday, my days left are shorter than most other students who have classes all week.
I realized today I'm kind of running behind with some work I have to do. I have to come up with a new product for my Strategic Management class by April 15th and I have a 10 page paper due April 22nd; both of those days literally are just right around the corner.
I'll be done on April 29th with 1 final on May 4th which is such a tease! I get almost a full week off and then I have to go back at night on the 4th for a final. Boo.
My Easter weekend was lovely with the exception of Amtrak trains being shut down due to the flooding in RI. I was unable to travel home Thursday night as planned, so my dad had to come get me Friday morning.
Luckily I was able to come back to Boston Monday morning on the first train Amtrak was running since all the flooding. My sister celebrated the 2nd anniversary of her 25th birthday on Friday (she refuses to admit she's 27). Her fiance planned a surprise dinner party for her at Azu restaurant in Mystic, CT which is one of her favorite places to eat.
Easter was a pretty low key affair with my family. I don't get big Easter baskets or anything anymore but my mom still gives me some chocolate and most of my family came over to eat. Other than that nothing too exciting has been going on. My Disney trip has officially been charged to my dad's credit card so I need to start working on paying that off asap. I'll be spending 5 glorious nights at the incredibly gorgeous Polynesian Resort at the end of May. So excited!

6 weeks left
Spring Break flew by and I want that time back! I had to be at work at 8 am which means when I had 2 days off, I couldn't sleep in past 730. Quite the break if you ask me.
One of my best guy friends, Mike, visited Foxwoods and stayed at the hotel where I work so we we able to get together towards the end of break which was awesome. We don't get together a lot outside of school so being able to see him near my hometown was wonderful!
With 6 weeks left, I'm going to be incredibly busy with group work, presentations, papers, reading and exams. Thank goodness I have Lost to keep me sane every Tuesday. Last night's episode was the best so far this season and one of the top episodes of the series. It was all about Richard Alpert who has been kind of a mystery character for the past couple seasons.
For once they actually explained quite a bit; Lost is notorious for leaving viewers hanging and incredibly confused but I finally feel that I'm getting some answers! On another note, I have to buy a new phone charger for my phone because the one I had snapped off inside my phone last night. I'm going to have to switch phones for a couple days before the charger comes in and I hate the other phone I have. Hopefully the shipping will be quick!

Yay!
Thought it was time for a pretty, new layout!
Usually I'm all for Suffolk but I have to say, yesterday was the most boring day of classes EVER. Literally. I sat through 6 presentations between 3 classes and thought I would never make it home. I really wish professors chatted with each other (like teachers used to in high school) to make sure something like 6 presentations don't happen in 1 day; wishful thinking. While it was boring, it also meant that I didn't have to do any homework in preparation for that day.
I've also just planned an East-Over dinner for all the Ambassadors. Our Not Your Average Thanksgiving Dinner was such a success that Jack suggested I host an Easter/Passover Dinner, so I am! I love when all of us get together.
Short and sweet post today!
