Noodle Street

I have always been a little envious of the students over on the other side of the city for one reason - they have access to Noodle Street. Home of the tastiest food you can find for 8 dollars, you choose between various fried rice and noodle dishes and can add chicken, beef, shrimp, and more! My personal favorite? Mango fried rice with chicken :) In fact, I'm finishing last night's dinner while I type to you...

But enough about food, lets talk about my birthday! On Monday I got my new ID, met up with an old best friend from high school, and had a small dinner party with my family and friends at my favorite restaurant in New Hampshire. My mother gave me a tiara to wear during dinner as well as sapphire and diamond earrings! I got wonderful things from everyone but won't bore you with all the details...Tonight my boyfriend is taking me to No.9 Park where they have a three course set menu, so I'm looking forward to that. And tomorrow is really the big day - my party! A big mishmosh of friends from different schools throughout the city are joining me at Felt Nightclub and it is going to be a blaassstt!!

It's time for me to go to class, however, PR II here I come...

Until Next Time,

Kayla :)

The countdown has begun...

Countdown to what? you may ask... well, my birthday is in four days and I can't wait! I do think some of my friends are even more excited than I am though, hehe, "Kayla can finally go out with everyone else on the weekends!" We're planning a big extravaganza for next Friday - roughly 30 of my friends and I are going to FELT nightclub and I'm hoping to score a VIP section (I really just don't want to wait in line in the cold)...We'll grab a drink at Red Hat on my actual birthday though, of course :P

Classes are going well, I'm even slightly enjoying World lit. PR2 is still incredibly intimidating and we've yet to begin the major project, but it all sounds very interesting. The more classes I take the more ways I realize I can use my degree when I graduate. At this point I'm open to political campaign management, wedding planning, and PR/IMC work for a non profit or corporation. I think with those options I should be able to find something, right? Hopefully...if not, I'll go to grad school for a Master's in Education, because who doesn't love teaching...

We have some really exciting events coming up here at Suffolk and it's making for a very busy semester. That means it will fly by and it'll be spring and summer before we know it! Thank goodness, because Boston is not doing a good job shoveling/salting the streets - I wipe out almost everyday! Last night I dreamt of flip flops, t-shirts, smoothies, and walking along the Charles...

This is a very busy time of year for the Admissions office. I've now worked here during every season and late winter is definitely the craziest. All of the files are being completed and admissions decisions are beginning to be mailed out, so good luck to all those who have applied for next fall!

Until next time,

Kayla :)

First tour of the semester...

I just got back from giving my first tour of the spring '09 semester and it was a good one, despite the suffocating winds and bone chilling temperature. We had a good group, a few girls from New Hampshire (wooohoo!) and I was able to show one of our new ambassadors the ropes. The forecast said it would be 15 degrees today but I'm not buying it... needless to say, I pulled the Eskimo jacket and uggs out of the closet and was good to go.

Classes have begun and I am pretty excited to see how the semester pans out. I'm taking Design lab, Women in American Politics, World lit, PR2, and a challenge course called Advanced Professional Communication...I think that will keep me busy enough. Classes are cancelled for the holiday on Monday so I'm stewing up my plans for the long weekend. That would sound pretty exciting, except with this weather my roommates and I will most likely stay put with movies and delivery...

My birthday is next Monday, the 26th, and I'll be 21! I felt really old when I turned 20 for some reason, so I hope this one doesn't hit me too badly...

Some of our Ambassadors are in D.C. right now for the inauguration and I am missing them terribly...hurry back ladies!

Until next time,

Kayla :)
