Oh it's FINALLY FINALS!

Hey everyone!
Just one last blog before I take my last final and head down to the sunny, sandy beautiful warm beaches of Florida!! The past few days up here at the Hurst have been very busy for everyone! I have had a project and final paper due for my Applied Linguistics class on Tuesday and my last final is on Wednesday for Environmental Problem Solving! YAY Only one left!

The end of the term is always crazy with projects, presentations, tests and all that jazz. But I'm excited for a few very exciting things coming up in the next week and term! I start my Clinical 2 for Education - so scary/exciting! I can't wait to get into the classroom and meet my students and cooperating teacher! Shortly after we get back from Spring Break, we have Spring Tea for Ambassadors! This is the celebration for the whole club where the new pledges are inducted and receive their fantastic green jackets! For the Seniors it is the formal goodbye from the club. It's really fun - we sing, we give awards and after - we have tea! Also coming up is my final undergrad term here at Mercyhurst! I'll be back in the Fall to complete my Student Teaching (Capstone Clinical), but I'll walk this Spring with my classmates. (a little confusing I realize - but it all works out).

And last, but certainly not least! On Friday MSG and SAC announced that our SpringFest musician would be Sean Kingston this year! Springfest is a weekend long celebration at the end of the year with food, inflatables, games, music and a lot of fun! Plus on Friday night we have a FREE CONCERT for students - and this year it is Sean Kingston!! How awesome is that!?

So I've got a lot to look forward to in the next ten weeks! And you have a lot of great updates to look forward to as well!

Happy Days Readers :)

Happy Monday

Hey everyone! Here is just a quick recap of my past two weekends.

On February 5, I went to see the play "The Importance of Being Ernest" here on campus! It was put on by our Mercyhurst Theater group here on campus. It was an awesome show! I had read the play in high school - maybe you have too - and I liked it then. It's witty, and filled with situational comedy a la 1900s. What's not to like? But in person it's much better! Especially when the Captain of the Lacrosse team is Lady Bracknell!! The students did a great job putting on a classic play - and the audience really enjoyed themselves!

On Friday night I played some futsal in the REC center on campus with some of the members of the Soccer Club! It was really fun to get together with everyone and just run around and play soccer. I scored a few goals so I was pretty happy with myself.

This past Saturday night I attended the Mercyhurst Dance Departments showing of Raw Edges. It is a show in which the junior and senior Dance students in the Choreography 3 & 4 classes create a dance and use their classmates as a cast. It's always my favorite dance show of the year - everything that you see is completely original and always really good. You see everything from formal ballet on pointe to modern music set to dub step!

And of course on Super Bowl Sunday I watched the Super Bowl with my friends at their Townhouse! We had a potluck and everyone brought some kind of food - and it was delicious!! Homemade calzones, spinach chicken Alfredo dip, hummus..... needless to say it was fantastic! I wasn't really rooting for either team - I'm a Steelers fan so I was pretty much just hoping the Patriots would lose - which they did! I basically watched for the commercials :)

This week is Senior Week so I'll be super busy having fun and finishing up final projects! (Classes end next week AHHHH)

Until next time! :)
