It's All Over!

Welp, there it is. College. Done. I finished my last final about an hour ago. Called my parents to tell them the news. And it looks like I will be graduating!! Haha, was there ever any doubt?!? It's a bit surreal to think that my 4 years here are just 5 days away from being over... I don't want to dwell on it too much cuz I may start crying! This week should be fun filled. It's officially Senior Week. Tomorrow is our cuise on Lake George and a clambake. Tonight I've been invited to a party at the President's house (not the White House) and then we have Karakoe, Thursday I have a job interview and then my friends and I are having a last get together with the Seniors at my house, Friday we have "backyard games" with faculty and administrators, Saturday is an awards ceremony, and then *tear* graduation at the Times Union Center dowtnown on Sunday morning.

I'll keep you posted on how the interview goes. Keep your fingers crossed! I've already reeived 2 job offers, but not quite for what I want so I'm hoping this is the one! Anyways, I know a lot of you still reading this have decided to come to Siena and that is Awesome!!!! I remember what it feels like to be in those shoes and I'm so excited for all of you! Good luck as you finish the school year. I will try to come blog one more time before all is said and done! See you soon!

The Bottom of the 9th

As it stands, I only have two more classes and three exams until my junior year at Siena comes to a close. Once again it has been an exciting, sometimes stressful, and always fun year. As the semester reaches its end, there are still a few more things in store for me. On Tuesday I have three different events to go to, a barbecue put on by the political science society which will be joined by all of the faculty. It should be a great time and serve to facilitate interaction between faculty and students. Just after that, the campus will be bidding farewell to our Chaplain Fr. Bill Beaudin, as he takes a six-month sabbatical to study at Boston College. Fr. Bill is one of those amazing individuals who truly makes the Siena community so special, and we will eagerly await his return from BC. Then after that, the Honors Program will be holding a dinner for students who will be authoring a thesis of the course of next year. The events will be a great way to cap off the year!
