It's almost 70 out and Thanksgiving break is only 9 days away!

Hi all, Well it is 8 days and counting till Thanksgiving break! (really only 6 days of classes, 5 for me because I do not have class on Friday). I am very happy I had a pretty productive weekend this past weekend. The weather was awesome this weekend. The temperature yesterday was around 70!  On top of getting  a lot of school work done. I also went out for breakfast with my Aunt on Saturday at First Watch which was very enjoyable.

The Rockhurst Men’s Soccer team played Friday night winning and also played yesterday (Sunday) as well. Their win on Sunday advanced them to the Elite 8 and gave their head coach Tocco his 600^th lifetime win. So congrats to Coach Tocco who is also my Professor for Accounting. The team plays next weekend out in Pennsylvania. If you want to stay up on how they are doing make sure to “like” Rockhurst University Athletics” on Facebook. (as a side note I am the one in charge of updating the Rockhurst Athletics Facebook page).

Men's Soccer team after their win on Sunday

            Last week was just such a crazy week. I had the nonprofit breakfast which I helped with on Monday morning. Then that afternoon I did week one of a four week volunteering stint at a local YMCA with their afterschool programs as part of my nonprofit administration class. That evening I spent a majority of it preparing for the Dinner with the Industry event sponsored by the Dean’s Student Advisory Board. I coordinated the online sign up for the event. That Dinner was Wednesday night and it went really good. It was a great event were students who signed up got a free three course dinner and got to network with a industry member from a field that interested them. This event serves as a great way to get internships. There were about 30 industry members at the event and about 100 students; which was comparable to the numbers we had last year at the event. On Friday I assisted with the Resident life event Beyond Words (which I have decided to make a separate blog entry later this week probably).

P.S. I am not sure if it is too early but as I write this I am listening to Christmas music…It just makes me so happy. The Christmas season has always been one of my favorite times of year.
