Hey everyone,

So this week I am so super excited well at least at this point I am… This week is a short week for me… that’s right Monday through Wednesday only! You’re probably wondering why? Well I am going to New York, NY for a family wedding. It’s going to be so exciting and most of all I think I need this time to sort of get a way from classes a little (just a tad though not too much J ). Basically these past five days I have been doing huge loads of work so that this trip would be possible since I’m going to miss four of my classes. I have also tried to cram all my RA duties in but after all I finally had a minute to sit down and tell you about how hectic life when you’re at Walsh is. Even though I am excited to go this weekend a part of me is overly upset because this weekend is FAMILY WEEKEND! And I have to miss it. It’s going to be a blast. All the activities planned are just so awesome… We are even going to have FIREWORKS! (those are my favorite) and I’m going to have to miss them. I think it’s just my luck. I am more than 100% sure that the other bloggers are going to talk about this even and share pictures so you make sure to read those so you can catch up J

Next week is also very exciting because Alexis Hall is having this “Black and White Affair” for all the freshmen students at Walsh. We have been planning this for weeks and I am so excited that fit is finally here. So… If you are a freshmen … You need to come! And if you are just reading this then make sure you check back next week because I will post some pictures up from this exciting event!

Finally one last thing that I wanted to talk about was the safety and security week on our campus. Basically we use this week to educate ourselves in creative ways of how to keep yourself and those around you safe with fun activities. Tuesday the North Canton fire department came and they had fun presentations for us such as drills of a firefighter. They also did a mock of a smoking hallway in one of our buildings where you had to crawl through the smoke. I personally wish I would have been able to go but some of my friends said it was fantastic! Thanks a bunch to all the people in charge of these events. Well folks that’s all I have for today … check back next week about upcoming stories and pictures J
