Spring hasn't sprung.

Not even close...I'm sure you didn't miss the major snow storm on Monday or the 412 school closing in Massachusetts. Sure, it was nice having the day off from classes and work; but is it worth doing splits down Beacon Hill because the city apparently ran out of salt? Or is it worth having to wear boots every single day, completely negating any semblance of style? Or how about the 6 inch wide paths that were "shoveled" out of the snow left on street corners in a predominantly pedestrian city? Yeah, that's convenient...

I can't wait for Spring break, does it show? I'm going to Bal Harbour (northern Miami) with my Mama and my Nana and I'm psyched. We're staying at the Sea View hotel which is very nice and very low-key...exactly what I need. I'm going to lounge in the sun, drift off to sleep every hour, swim, walk the beach, and read (my boss gave me Twilight because she hated it and I must find out what all the fuss is about). Last time we stayed there we had a balcony overlooking the ocean where we ate brie and berries each morning, so nice.

My midterms are over and I'm pleased to report I got a 99 on the dreaded world lit monster I spoke of in my last entry! Also, the huge event I was planning happened on Tuesday and it was a success - Brittany Maier (a blind and autistic musical savant) performed as part of Unity Week and the students who came absolutely loved it. She did a request show, so everyone was able to hear her play their favorite song, and they even invited some Suffolk students up on stage to collaborate with her. It was amazing and we're definitely going to have her back next year!

I'm struggling with the idea of internships this summer...I know I need one, and I do want one, but the thought of being cooped up inside all summer (during my last free summer as a student) is horrible! Isn't there an outdoor preschool in Boston I can work at? We'd play tag, eat ice cream, and learn the alphabet using "G" for grass, "F" for flowers, and "D" for dogs...That's my idea of a summer job...

Anyway, one more class today, two tomorrow, and then a fun filled weekend... My roommate's sister will be visiting, I'm seeing Boston Ballet perform Jewels, and my boyfriend and I are seeing Justin Nozuka play at the House of Blues on Saturday Night. For those of you attending the Students to Students session, I will see you bright and early Saturday morning :)

Until Next Time,

Kayla
