Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined- Henry David Thoreau

Currently on Spring Break. Wow. It’s the end of March and my lovely Spring Break will be ending in two days. I cannot believe how fast time flies. I only have technically 8 more weeks of the semester, 7 if you don’t count finals week. My second semester here at Bridgewater has just been awesome. Of course it’s had it’s ups and downs so far but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I would just love summer to be here now, but then again I don’t because I currently don’t have the job that I planned on having since last July. That was kind of a blow to gut since I thought for the past 8 months that I had a set job. Aw well, everything happens for a reason.

Spring break so far has been nice and relaxing, I didn’t have to deal with much and I got to see Dan everyday which was amazing. Even though I’m only a short ride away, its hard not seeing your boyfriend when you really want to. But we make it work.
I got to hang with my long lost girlfriend Ali! Her spring break was the week before mine so we got together the Saturday before she headed back to Syracuse. I also ended back up at good old Middleboro High School! I really wanted to see some teachers that I havent been able to talk to in a while; just to catch up. I first got to see Braga, my former Business teacher to catch up with him about the high school DECA program and how my business major is going. Next I found Branagan, oh how I love that man. We talked for a while about BSC and Orientation and the current senior class. I luckily found Ms. Malloy and we chatted it up in the English office and I somehow ended up staying to speak to her 4th block class about how different writing and school work was in college compared to high school. And then I got to see Furlong, but I only spoke with her for about 15 minutes because I’m a blabber mouth and ended up talking longer with Ms. Malloy than expected and I couldn’t disrupt any chemistry classes. I was so happy I got to see everyone in the office and the teachers that had an impact on me in high school during my 4 years there. But it was awkward at the same time running into teachers that I despised and did not want to see ever again! Haha.

Hmm so what else did I end up doing…ah well. I amazingly and completely randomly got together with Ileana. Ileana was a German exchange student who attended MHS last year and we were good friends. It was so weird because I ran into her at the high school and was in shock because well, I thought she was half way around the world in Germany! It just so happens she came back to the US for two weeks with her entire family to visit and to head out to Cali on Friday night. I ended up getting together with her and my original 7 friend Christina! We hung out for only a short while because of time restriction and her family having to catch the plane in Boston. It was awesome that after a year of her telling me about her family, I finally got to meet them! They were extremely nice and I was glad I got to spend a short time with her since, well, she lives in Germany. Too bad I didn’t get anything accomplished over break except scholarship crap. I haven't done any of my art projects or any research for my upcoming speech and final paper. I am just in vacation mode but I know once I head back to school, I gotta get cracking down! A lot of stuff is going on in the next few weeks and I really got to be able to get my work done.

Once I head back to school, I am going non-stop with a bunch of stuff for school and outside of school. This upcoming Friday is room selections, my time is 2:51 to pick my room for next year but I’m hoping it doesn’t really matter because I am hoping for an RA position on campus. March 29th is a very important day since I have two amazing interviews for leadership opportunities on campus. That Saturday morning I had Resident Assistant (RA) group interviewing from 9-12 and then that same afternoon I have Orientation Leader (OL) group interviewing from 1:30-4. Woahhh wish me luck please! If I get the RA position I get to live on campus at the price of the cheapest dorm on campus and I get paid each month which is great! I’ve always wanted to become an RA and itll help me save the amount of money that I need in order to travel abroad to Australia in Spring 2010. The Orientation Leader position is another position I wanted since I went to my own orientation last June. I want to be able to get kids excited to come to BSC and be just as excited as I am about the school. With this position I move back on campus the end of May and finish and move back home July 1st after all of the orientation groups go through. Ah Ill just have to wait and seeeeeeeee!
