I couldn't possibly begin to convey everything that has taken place between last Monday and today in a blog, but I'm going to try my hardest to include the majority of them! :)

Monday night, my friend Mandi from the Admissions Office had all the workers over for an intimate St. Patrick's Day party. It was really fun! There's this new game called Rock Band..maybe you've heard of it? lol Well, that game occupied most of our night. It's one of the funnest video games that I have played for a while. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Google it :)

Wednesday of that same week was the Ohio State/Rhodes State Campus Career Day, where over 1000 high school students visited campus from roughly 9:30 until 1. There were workshops spread around campus which highlighted careers in specific areas. (business workshop, biology workship, etc.) The workers were mainly there as hall monitors/traffic directors, making sure all the students got to their assigned destinations on time. I never went to Career Day in high school, but now that I'm familiar with one, I wish I would have gone. Students sign up for subjects that they may be or may not be familiar with, and then they are introduced to possible careers that could be available to them if they were to decide to take that specific education route. It's super informative and a great way to help with college decisions.

After giving various tours to prospective students as well as making many college-seeker phone calls, Friday arrived. Six of us from the office took a random shopping trip to Columbus and had an amazing time! I got a new sweatshirt jacket and a pair of jeans, plus a multitude of new memories and inside jokes! :)

On Saturday, I hung out with some of my old high school friends. I am blessed to have such wonderful individuals in my life, people who I have managed to remain friends with even after graduating and moving on to bigger, more exciting things.

Sunday was Easter. It was relaxing and sad. Relaxing because I got to spend a majority of the day hanging out with my family. Sad because my sister and I both forgot to ask off work at McDonalds, so we had to go in at 5. Surprisingly enough, it was really busy! I cannot get over how many people eat at McDonalds as some type of "family tradition." The same goes for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and other holidays. You learn a lot of stuff when working fast food.

That brings me to this week. Spring break ended, initiating the start of Spring Quarter. So far, so good! I'm really going to enjoy Spanish; there were a lot of familiar faces in that class. And although my sociology class is really big, I know quite a few people, not to mention class let out an hour and twenty minutes early today. Not a bad start!

Finally, I would just like to add that the movie August Rush is now one of my favorites of all time! If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you rent it and watch it. You won't be disappointed!

At 2:40, I have my introduction to Shakespeare class. I'll let you know how it goes...

later on!
