I feel a cold coming on...

I knew it. I knew it would only be a matter of time before I caught the disgusting cold my roommate has been fighting for a week. Now my tonsils feel inflamed and I really don't have time for this business, with midterms approaching and roughly 8 hours of homework every night; I've been popping vitamins and eating soup for days to stave it off... keep your fingers crossed for me!

So I mentioned the homework situation this semester -- it's unreal! I now know what my mom was talking about when she said she practically lived in the library when she was in college. I've been able to keep up with it so far though...hours of reading for history, creating web pages for computer science, writing articles for journalism, and doing projects for advertising. I was really worried about Comp. Sci when the semester began, but I've actually grown to like it. It will be a great asset to be able to build websites from scratch with technological advances and continually higher expectations in those regards. Our final project will require that we build a complete website for a company, hobby, interest, etc... who knows, maybe mine will even turn into a business endeavor.

This weekend is Family Weekend at Suffolk and Beacon Hill will be crowded with overwhelmed parents complaining about the uphill walks between buildings. Some of my fellow Ambassadors and I will be helping with the Duck Tours on Saturday morning. I avoided Duck Tours for the longest time because I didn't want to look like one of the wide-eyed tourists taking pictures and quacking at passersby. There are a number of events scheduled for the weekend including a night at the Museum of Science, historical walking tours of Beacon Hill, and a variety showcase of students' talents.

Halloween is approaching! Do you know what you'll be? I considered dressing up as a vampire or the bride of Frankenstein until I realized spending $50 on a costume I'll only wear for a few hours is pointless. And then I remembered the elf costume my Nana made me last winter for a charity function I helped out with. I even have green high-heeled boots with curly toes and jingle bells! I'll still need to come up with a second costume though because there are quite a few parties to attend during the following weeks and a girl just cannot wear the same thing to all of them...

That's all for now folks :)
