Title Goes Here April 15, 2008

I have no idea what to write about today.  There is SO much going on at school and home these days. It’s rather overwhelming.

This Past Weekend:

Dogapalooza, which is a Resident Student Association event every spring was Saturday evening. Sadly, I missed that AND the Mama’s Boys’ (who have AWESOME new jackets, by the way) concert because I could only get home on Saturday evening to see a bunch of HS friends who happened to be home. BUT, this last weekend was also Out of State Student Overnight and New Student Day. It was SO much fun! Exhausting but tons of fun! There were all kinds of activities in the Commons, and it was so much fun for me to share UMBC with someone, especially a new student. The folks over in Admissions matched us up by major so the girl (from Philly) who stayed with me is an undecided engineering major. All that means is that she’s declared engineering but not Mechanical, Chemical, Computer, etc. That was me last year before I declared Mechanical in the Fall. I had SO much fun answering all her questions about UMBC.  So many of them were ones I had myself.  I could go on forever about New Student Day, but I think I’m going to move on.

Coming Up:

Advising for Fall 2008 is Thursday morning for me.  As a freshman, I have to go to advising to discuss my academic plans before I can get “cleared” to actually register. I’m a little nervous because I haven’t written out my plan for the next couple years and it’s already Tuesday night. [I would put a ":-\" face here but wordpress has changed and I don't know how.] I’ve also got training for an extracurricular activity I’m doing next year, the Cleftomaniacs concert, homework (as always), a blood donation, yadda, yadda, yadda. OH! and I’m going home this weekend because the blacksmiths’ guild (I know, weird, right?) my dad, brother and I all belong to is having their annual fund-raiser called the Spring Fling.  Then I’m coming back to school at 4am on Monday because my mom needs to be at Johns Hopkins at 5:30ish. Ick. But, then it’s Carl’s birthday! Since I’m fairly sure he doesn’t read my blog I can talk about it. Robyn, Abhi (pronounced Abby), and I are planning lots of stuff! (I’d elaborate but just in case Carl happens to be reading this, I don’t want him to know everything.) I’m so excited! I LOVE birthdays!! I think it’s about time I did some school work.
