Time flies! It has been almost a month now that I have been living on the Greek island of Santorini, Greece. Once again, I have begun to create a little world for myself in a distant place that has become a temporary home. Now, I know that my recent li…
I’ve been gone for weeks and I have so much to tell you all about. First of all, I would just like to say that I survived Bonnaroo! Bonnaroo, for those of you who aren’t familiar with it, is a huge music festival in Manchester, Tennessee. We drove all the way down there, camped out for 4 days, and drove all the way back. The trip took an entire week, and was incredibly exhausting, but was totally worth it. We saw Jack Johnson, Death Cab for Cutie, OAR, Kanye West, Willie Nelson, Metallica, and Jupe Fiasco perform! The sweet tea was delicious and the sun shined almost the entire time.
I’ve also completed my first summer course, Public Relations I, and should be getting an “A” in that. Next week I will begin Biology and spend the rest of my summer in the library… science isn’t one of my strengths.
As for the rest of the summer, I will continue working in the undergrad admissions office, possibly volunteering at the Boston Medical Center, planning the first Best Buddies event of the school year, and getting as much sun as I can.
I’m off to the Alternative Energy Event, one of many free public events sponsored by Suffolk University.
Until Next Time,
Kayla
By popular demand, I was asked to continue writing my blog over the summer break. (Sorry A. and T., for the long dry period. But I guess life outside college dosen’t give you quite as much to write about…) SO! The first year of college is over (alrea…
Second day of dark skies and muggy weather…NOT KOOL with a capital K. Tomorrow and for the weekend it’s supposed to be beautiful and sunny, and it better be because I am looking foward to going to the pool or simply relaxing with a book out on the B…
There weren’t any visitors for my tour today, which was okay since it is pouring rain outside! Talk about a change in weather… it is suddenly cold too!
I’m leaving soon to catch a bus home to New Hampshire for my mother’s farewell dinner 
I will return early tomorrow morning for the orientation fair only to bus home again on friday to do my cousin’s makeup for her high school prom. The buses from South Station are so convenient and certainly make money off of my hectic schedule! I will probably go to the beach this weekend before working on several assignments that are due on monday morning. I can’t believe we’ve already finished half of this course!
Until next time,
Kayla
So I am really pumped this summer!! I am back at Admissions giving tours for the summer as well as living at the dorms this summer to. I am back living at the 150 Tremont Residence Hall as a Third year Conference Assistant which is definitely excitin…
Aside from giving campus tours, the only work to be done by ambassadors this week is filing… yuck! Filing obviously isn’t difficult, but boy does it get old. In fact, if it were more difficult and required a bit more thought it might be more entertaining. We do, however, make the most of the day by counting how many incoming “Smiths” and “Browns” there are in the filing cabinet, singing the ABCs in our heads, and wheeling down the aisle of folders in rolling office chairs. Of course my Ipod is dead right now. I look forward to my tour tomorrow afternoon…
Since I’ve last blogged I’ve begun learning how to golf. I am proud to say that I can now consistently make contact with the ball and hit it 60 yards, woo hoo! Sushi at Ma Soba was good, but Zen might still be better- and cheaper. The apartment is coming together nicely, I bought a few area rugs and plants and even made my bed today.
My weekend in NH was long and tiring. My mother is moving to San Francisco for business and recruited me to help remove every last item from her home and bring it to either charity, storage, or a dumpster. We worked from 8am to 11pm each day until our apartment was bare and my mother was homeless. Just kidding, there are plenty of sofas for her to crash on until her flight to Cali on Thursday.
Speaking of Thursday, the 5th will be the first Student Orientation Fair of the summer! It will be held in the Ridgeway gym at 12:45pm and I will be working the Best Buddies table with the President of our chapter, Melissa. There will be representatives from various clubs and student-run organizations here at Suffolk to invite incoming freshmen to get involved. It was at the transfer orientation fair that I became familiar with Best Buddies and I am so thankful that I did- so be there!
It is a beautiful day in Boston today and the weekend looks equally gorgeous, hooray!
