Hi, all! It's been a while.

Let's see... What's new here?

Last week was Spring Break. It was awesome! I got to go with Dave to visit Tom in Arizona, and we got to do some really fun stuff. I got to go swimming in March- the punchline is that, even in Phoenix, the water was freeeeezing. It was a great week, and I got about 12 hours of sleep every night to boot. I came back to school feeling refreshed!

My classes are going okay. I'm getting stretched pretty thin between school and work but I'm readjusting my focus and working less and studying more and creating an 8-semester plan to graduate ON TIME!!

I applied to be an Orientation Leader- I don't know if I've mentioned this before? Well, every first-year or Fall transfer student signs up to come to New Paltz for 3 days in the summer, and there are 5 sessions to choose from. They come to campus and get a tour of all the academic buildings and tie-dye T-shirts and meet professors and choreograph a lip sync and walk all over the place and meet tons of new people. It's a hectic 3 days but it gets everyone totally pumped for the fall. At orientation, the students are pur in groups of about 15-20, and I would be a leader for one of the groups, which means I have to :

1. Love New Paltz (Check!)
2. Have lots of energy (Check!)
3. Have the stamina to walk miles and miles and spend all night organizing a lip sync (Uh... Check?)

So, I applied, and I interviewed for the position, and I got two letters of recommendation, and now I'm just waiting for next Friday for Group Process day, where the put all the candidates in a room and give them games to play and they watch us interact to see who's outgoing, who's shy, who's a natural leader, who's more laid-back, etc.

After Group Process Day, there's another interview. I'll know if I got the job in about 3 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me! It would mean that after 3 days a week for all of July, I would have enough money saved up to pay for the fall semester in cash. WHAT A RELIEF! That would be ideal. Again, keep your fingers crossed! heh.

So, that's about it for me right now. A lot of the same stuff. Tonight I walked home from work without a coat for the first time all year. There was a thick fog over campus, the grass was wet and everything smelled clean. It's FINALLY spring! Time to rejoice!
