I apologize for being so inactive, but I have been a little busy and haven’t had the time to sit down and write. I am officially on Spring Break. I do not return to class or my assistantship until Monday March 16th! Let me catch you up to speed
In my assistantship, I have been trying to get things checked off my list before I depart for Spring break. Last Friday, the 27th, there was a Late-Night. There was also a Late-Night on the 22nd. They both went smoothly. There are two more left this semester. Also, I collaborating with a senior to plan senior week. Senior week is my last project in this assistantship, so crazy to know that the end is in sight. I am continuing to advise AB Special events and AB cafe. I haven’t met with AB publicity yet. I am trying to ready the marketing for the SLICE Awards, as well.
Academically, I am doing well. We had a big writing assignment due for a portion of our literature reviews. I was able to finish it a head of time before the deadline. My professor ended up cancelling class on the day of the deadline to give us more time. I was confident in what I submitted. I am anxious to receive some feedback.
Special Projects, I still assist RMU with the Colonial Leadership Academy and last week I was able to connect with someone who works with NFL Alumni. We shared contact information and I asked if I could assist her with any events she had coming up, and she told me about an event happening in August. After the CLA, we have been in touch to meet for coffee on Monday. I am excited to connect with her again. Also, at RMU I had a meeting with the Dean of Students, to talk about my career goals, my graduate program, internships, and how I may be able to assist RMU. It was a great meeting. I looking forward to being able to assist the university in anyway that I can. RMU is so special to me. It is where it all started for me. Also, RMU is playing in the NEC championship. I am looking forward to attending the game on Saturday. The game was not televised, so I had to keep loading the score on my phone which was annoying, but they won! I am so proud of them.
Socially, I had a happy hour last night with my two friends in my graduate program. Julia E. just had a Birthday and Julia S. just got engaged. We met up for drinks and bar food at Hemingways. We talked about the HEM program and our projects at work. When I entered my graduate program, I was expecting to make such amazing friends. I do not know what I would do without these girls!
I am ready for Spring Break. I want to relax and rejuvenate. Clean the house and organize a bit, and recalibrate.
