What a Week!

I keep wondering when my schedule will free up, and I'm beginning to think it never will! Being busy is better than having nothing to do at all though... don't you think?

The craziness began on Saturday when seven of my fellow ambassadors and I gave a Students-to-Students information session, which are a great way to have your questions answered from a student's perspective. The afternoon was a success and we all had a lot of fun with the visiting families. That night Best Buddies Suffolk University attended a Bruins game with several other BB chapters from around the city -- and they won!

Aside from the normal routine, I've had meetings galore! On Monday I had advising (I'm super excited about the classes I'm taking next semester!), Tuesday I attended a training session for history students giving tours of Boston this weekend, yesterday was my best friends birthday, President Sigler of the NRA spoke at the Omni Parker House last night, and today I must attend a meeting for students studying abroad in Prague this summer during my lunch hour!

I mentioned the event last night where the President of the National Rifle Association spoke to Suffolk students about the importance of this election year as it pertains to second amendment rights. I went in fairly undecided on my position and left the same way. President Sigler made some decent arguments but was unable to convince me. He neglected to answer some of the questions he was asked to respond to, and that in itsself was offensive. All in all though, the Suffolk GOP put on a great event and we were fortunate to have such an important speaker visit our school.

I am so excited for Halloween tomorrow!!! I'm going to be a Christmas elf! Mostly because I already have the costume (from a charity event I participated in last December) but also because the boots with the curly toes and bells are so much fun! A couple of my friends are having parties in the North End and East Boston so I'll be bouncing around the city... be sure to say "hi" if you see a little green elf skip past you on the street tomorrow night!

Until Next Time,

Kayla :)
