So I had a pretty good weekend, it was long though at times. On Thursday night, I hung out with my good friend, Carrie, we went shopping and played some board games. It was enjoyable and relaxing, a great way to take a load off the week!
Friday was Relay for Life! Relay for Life started at 6pm and ended at 6am. It is a 12 hour fundraising event for cancer and it was so long and at night because cancer never sleeps! It was located in the rec center at my school with almost 400 people, we walked laps around the gym all night and did various other activities. It was a lot of fun and I was team captain and managed to get 8 people on my team from Christian Student Fellowship and from school in general. Also, leading up to the event and during the event, luminaria bags could be purchased in honor or memory of someone then during the event the luminaria bags had glow sticks placed in them and were placed around the gym. Melissa gave her story of why she relays to the whole crowd then we walked laps around the luminaria bags. It was definitely a touching moment because everyone has been affected by cancer in a loved one of some way. After the event was over, I helped Melissa who was on the committee for it, clean up but I was definitely tired! I went to bed at 7am and woke up at noon then caught lunch with Melissa and together we went shopping and hung out. Then on Sunday, I had church and hung with friends then cleaned up my room.
Classes have been going well. They are just challenging and somewhat boring at the moment and I'm trying my best with them!
These are the classes I have:
Career Planning
This is the second course in a series of three career management courses that students will participate in at the University. Students will further enhance their knowledge of career management topics such as career planning strategies, industry/segment exploration, experiential education options, job search techniques and skill development. Students will continue to use the Best Fit Career Management System as a resource and guide as they explore their options and work toward Best Fit Employment.
Macroeconomics
This course is designated as the first of two courses serving as an introduction to economics. It is a survey course covering the foundations of economics and focusing on macroeconomic concepts and issues such as the features and goals of capitalism, the market system, national income, business cycles, macroeconomic theories, and monetary and fiscal policy.
Advanced Composition and Communication
This course is a continuation of ENG1020 English Composition. Building on the research and audience skills from ENG1020, students develop more complex and rhetorically advanced papers. All work, written and oral, is aimed at persuading an audience, and instruction begins with the essential components of a logically constructed and articulated argument. Critical thinking skills are reinforced throughout the course, as students develop, peer critique, and present projects to the class. Research and MLA skills are expected of students, and all projects require research from a variety of sources. At the end of the course, in addition to a final exam, students present a representative portfolio of their writing.
Hospitality Information Technology
This is an introductory course in information systems in the hospitality industry. This course focuses on property management systems, Internet/Intranet systems and other forms of technology.
Hospitality Sales and Meeting Management
This course familiarizes students with the scope of sales and meeting management within the hospitality industry. The reciprocal relationship between selling and service is presented within the context of hospitality marketing practices.
So those are my classes and I have 18.5 credits in all. I hope everyone has a great week!

Superbowl Weekend Update!
Yep! The Pats just lost to the Giants. I just got home from a great superbowl party full of college age friends and other amazing people at my pastor's house. My pastor and his family are such wonderful people and I'm truly blessed to know them!
I have been so busy lately, I've barely had time to eat and sleep! There is only 2 weeks of classes left before finals, teachers are giving out big, fat projects that require a lot of work and research and often times a lot of work with groups.
I just got over being sick, at least everyone had it at once, apparently here in Providence for the public school system, they give the elementary school students a week off in February for the students to be separated and to let the schools air out because everyone gets so sick.
Some highlights from my week?
Spending time with my guy...hanging with great friends and taking crazy bus trips (what would I do without public transportation!?)...running around Wal-Mart trying to kill an hour because of bus schedules by chasing fellow friends with stuffed animals (haha who let 3 crazy girls loose)...getting lost in a tiny town of Middletown, Rhode Island....and so many more!
I hope everyone had a great week and I'll try to keep you guys updated!

The Last 10 Days or So
Ok, I have been conflicting stories from people about the length of my blog. So I will start writing shorter blogs and if you want more details or more in depth info or a long version, just email me and I'll get back to ya!
So I left off waaayy back! I had a great 4 day weekend (thanks to Martin Luther King Day along with my usual Friday off). Saturday was fun with a game night at my friend's house, there were about 10 of us and we played Catch Phrase and Cranium, it was a great time for all of us to be together and just relax. Sunday was interesting because I had the opportunity to talk to Corey's parents and he got the same opportunity to talk to mine and we set up a time to meet his parents for the following week. His parents seemed like nice people and I was eager to meet them! Monday (no school), I hung out with Corey and then along with Dan too during the evening after he got off work. We had a great time playing Scrabble, I do not think I have really played that game before but it was fun!
Tuesday was a crazy day because my classes were following Monday's schedule so that took a moment to get used to, my Monday schedule is way more relaxed then my Tuesday's schedule so it was almost nice to have Mon-Wed-Thurs week of classes. It was definitely a tough week at school with several midterms and term papers along with a various mix of other lovely homework.
Friday was my friend's birthday (Melissa). A bunch of us threw together a surprise party for her and it was my job to bring her. I had struggles in getting Melissa to go to dinner with me which was understandable because she wanted to hang with more people but it worked and she was surprised! After dinner, 4 of us headed off to the movies to see 27 Dresses which was a great chick flick!
Saturday was kind of a big day for me as I was meeting Corey's parents. We met them at this nice little pizzeria on Federal Hill. They are really nice and funny people that are easy to get along with. It was a pleasant and humorous afternoon and I definitely enjoyed meeting them! After that, I headed to Carrie's house to hang out since both our guys were out at this wrestling event. I love hanging out with Carrie! I can be my complete crazy self around her!
Life has been crazy and jam packed and full of adventure and I'm trying to take it all one day at a time! So farewell until the next post!

My Week!!!
I figured that I better give you all an update before I hit the weekend, otherwise this blog will get to be too long to read!
So I've been so busy I cannot even remember what day I left you guys all at! Ok, so I left off on Sunday night! Oh boy, 4 days to catch everyone up on!!!!
SO! Monday, nothing too exciting happened during the day part of it that I can really remember. I do remember that I started off with a jam packed lesson in Marine Biology and then I had 2 classes right after that! When I was all done with school, I went home and had my group project partner and friend, Betsy, come over to work on it. Then I went downtown and ate dinner with Betsy and some other friends. Then I headed over to Melissa's house and together we headed off to the supermarket to pick up some soda to take to another friend's house where we had a party for the National Championship game of college football between OSU & LSU! One friend brought 18 pounds of chicken wings!!!! There were about a dozen of us all hanging out and having a great time.
Tuesday...I had accouting where we were learning all about debits and credits! Then I met up with my friends, Nicolette and Madeline for a late breakfast. Well, we sat there so long talking, that I was able to add lunch in with some other friends: Melissa, Dan, Corey and Pastor Andy without having to leave the dining hall! Then I took this extremely hard hospitality law test (I still wondering what I got on it) and then I had my other class. After that class, I grabbed dinner with Nicolette which was so much fun! Then I headed off to college age church. We had a special guest speaker, Randy Sprinkle, who was really great! Then after church, about 6 of us all headed off to a restaurant for a late night snack and a chance to hang out! I really packed that day in!!!!
On Wednesday, after classes, I grabbed a nice lunch with Corey then we walked to go meet Nicolette who was supposed to be on the 4th floor of this building. Corey and I are in this glass elevator and we see Nicolette and Madeline in the other one right as we reach the 4th floor! I didn't hop into their elevator in enough time and watched them shoot down to the bottom. I got back into my elevator with Corey and shot down to the bottom only to watch Nicolette and Madeline shoot back up. I finally got off the elevator and by the time Nicolette and Madeline joined us, all four of us were laughing so hard. I do not think that I have ever played elevator tag before! Then, after running around downtown for a while and bumping into random friends, I headed home. By the time I got home, I had to change and go to this "Snowed in by the Fireside" vegetarian banquet for my good friend, Carrie, who had to invite 3 people to it! She did not tell me who else was going so I reluctantly went, completly not knowing what to expect at all! Lucky for me, I found my friend, Seth, heading there and together we found our other friend, Megan! It has been a long while since I ate that many vegetables at once! Seth stated that he felt his stomach sprout from all the vegetables he ate! After that, I went back to my room and worked on some things then I took a nice 2 hour nap! Then I talked to the family and went right back to bed since I was so exhausted and caught up on some much needed sleep!
Finally! We are on Thursday! I generally eat breakfast before going to classes but since I knew I was getting out of my first class early, I thought I would wait. So with my spare time, I went off to see if I could find Nicolette. Also, Nicolette and I share an accounting book so even though we do not have any classes together we have to make a huge point to connect with each other 1-3 times a day, 4 days a week! That is a great way to save money and keep in touch with friends! I find Nicolette and she tell me she does not have any more classes for the day! So after my first class, I go and grab breakfast with her. Then I headed home in hopes of taking a nap (I know I had so much sleep the night before but I still wanted my nap!). That doesn't work but I head back downtown to catch lunch with Melissa and Dan which went great! Then I had my two classes after that. Then I caught dinner with my friend, Betsy, and originally it was supposed to be just the two of us but it turned out to be pretty much the whole group of friends from McNulty along with my old roommate who showed up halfway through dinner. There was only one seat left, next to me and she sat down and things still have not really changed to say the least but that is fine especially we have both gone our own separate ways at this point. So now, here I am sitting in my dorm room, I think I am going to go hang out with Nicolette and Madeline, but who knows what the weekend is going to hold!

Saturday Adventures!
I awoke on Saturday morning expecting to head off to Target with Jackie when Jackie called to say that she wasn't feeling well. So, I hung back and made some other plans however I bumped into Dartainia (Dart) again so we were hanging out and decided that we would go to Target.
Dart & I find the right bus and we manage to get on even though the bus driver was a real class A JERK! But I won't go there. Dart and I had lots of fun shopping around and got back later that night where we hooked up with Sarah.
The three of us headed down for dinner then onwards to Waterfire. Providence has a river that runs through the downtown of it and Waterfire has these baskets that were made to have bonfires right on the water down the middle of it so boats go out there to stock the wood and there are gondola rides and dinner boats and music playing making it oh so romantic.
The three of us find a nice ledge to chill on and Dart wants to use her legs so she stands up and there are these 3 guys next to us. Dart, being ever so sociable, starts talking to one of them. They are attending the University of RI and had decided to come check out the Waterfire. We all exchange numbers and depart with hugs (yeah we really fast forward from strangers to friends there).
After that, we met up with my roommate, Amanda and the four of us walk around for a while before heading back to the dorm to watch a movie together. Afterwards, I was wheeling Dart back to her room which is on my floor also and I bump into a girl named Betsy from one of my classes. She grabs her friends and I grab mine and we all hung out for a while. It was a great night!

Newport, RI!
Today was a beautiful, bright, sunny, breezy day! My friend Sarah and I ate breakfast together then walked to the bus station to catch a bus. We took a bus to Newport, Rhode Island, which is about a little over an hour by bus. When we got to Newport, we walked around on the Wharfs as it is right on the ocean and the International Boat Show was happening. We did not go to the show as Sarah is on the sailing team and is going to go to it on Sunday. After that, we walked to the Cliff Walks and we went exploring on the coast line then we walked back into the main part of town and went shopping. Newport is really pretty and has a ton of history!
We caught the 4:30 bus back to Providence which was soon to be crowded with lots of college students from the colleges in Newport Area that were heading to Providence to catch trains to head home.
When I got back to the dorms, Sarah went to go grab dinner while I met up with a girl named Jackie that is from Ohio. We were walking back to my dorm when we bumped into a new friend! Jackie and I were heading down the hall when we saw Dartainia (who is in a wheelchair) trying to get out of the laundry room. I took her laundry and we headed off to her room where we proceeded to hang out and have lots of fun!
