So long sweet summer...

Sunday was gorgeous out, and yesterday it was so coldd, and also marked the first day of autumn. :( I love the warm weather,so I am pretty bummed that is getting chilly outside. I hate sweaters and wearing long sleeves; I'd much rather be at the beach in a bathing suit, soaking up some sun...

I had a great last day of summer though. I went with a friend to a beach not too far outside of Boston called Nantasket Beach... and I learned to surf! I wish i had learned wayyy earlier, and not the last day of summer, but I'll take what I cant get. And so basically...this was basically me...
Not really, but I wish. I did actually get up on the board by the 5th try, not too badddd for a first time-er.

Jason Mraz tickets are now sold outt!! Sorry for all of you hoping to meet someone from Suffolk and beg them to buy you a ticket. I am so pumpedddd. I got his new cd onto my Ipod, and I'm not gonna lie, its pretty sweet. One of my favorites its "If it kills me." The cd has a pretty mellow sound, which I am totally into. If you like this cd, also check out Michael Buble, and Matt Wertz, different sounds, but some of my faves.
<--- His new album cover. Also, this is a link to youtube, to see/ hear Michael Buble's song "Everything," another great song. Seriously, check it outtt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPUJIbXN0WY
So i seem to be on a music craze today...

I'm in the office until 3 today, then I have class at 4, The art of Rhetoric, Protest, and reform. I really hope this class gets better, because right now all we have been talking about is slavery, which is okay for now, but not for a whole semester. I have to do an project on some kind of reform group, or a group that had an affect on the times, and I chose to do it on the KKK. Should be interesting. I think soon we will be moving onto the Women's rights movement. ..
anyways, That seems to be it for now :)
im off to youtube some more Jason Mraz.
Let me know if you have any more music suggestions for me!
oh! p.s...check out fellow Ambassador Nicole's article that she wrote for the Suffolk Voice about the Temple Street fair last week!.

Back in the Bean...from a new view

Its been a week since I moved back into the city, this time as a sophomore. Its weird to watch the freshmen move in and get adjusted to a new city, new friends, and a new room. I can't believe it was a year ago that I was doing the exact same thing.
Besides being a year older, not much seems to have changed over the summer. There are some new RAs (Residential Assistants), new activities planned, and many new faces in Somerset (miller hall), but thats about it.
One of the first nights we had a tie dye party in the lobby of 10 Somerset and most residents attended. Yesterday Jason Mraz tickets went on sale for only 10 dollars and im super excited for the concert!! We also have some other cool events planned, like Blue Man Group, Cirque Du Soleil, and a comedian coming to Suffolk, all through October.
First semester so far has been great. I am taking Intro to Media, Journalism 1, The art of Rhetoric, Protest, and Reform, and Computer Programing. So far so good. Media seems really interesting; our first class we watched the simpsons and discussed the media's portrayal throughout the episode. My Journalism professor works for the Boston Globe, which is pretty awesome to have a professor so connected to what he teaches. In computers we started creating out own website with HTML, which seems like it will start to get pretty complicated, but hopefully not too difficult. I am still not sure what to expect out of the Rhetoric class; so far we have just talked about slavery, but then again I have only had one class.
Now its just about getting back into the swing of things, and trying to get work done while living on a floor with all of my friends, where it is neverrr quiet. Might have to head over to the library one of these days...
So that's what up this week, more to come later. :)
