Last Week
More... Week 10 is already here! I'm sure most of you are excited to be going home, and a lot of people I know are done with school forever after this week. 4 years goes by really fast when you're having fun. I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for some of the people I met here in Chicago over the last 4 years. The friendships and memories that I have gained will never be forgotten. I wish the best

So busy!
More... It has been awhile since I have created a new blog post. Things have been so hectic with the holidays and having family in town - not to mention, I have a new baby in my life! But now that we are firmly in the new year, things have started to calm down and I feel back in the game :).
The Winter quarter is already 1/2 over - that has absolutely flown by. As I have mentioned previously, this ma

First week back to school!
More... Back to School, Back to School, just to prove I'm not a fool.  Last week was the first week back for everyone at RMU after a whole week off. I know, thats a very very long time, lol! 
The first week back to school is always the most interesting to me.  You have the freshmen that get lost and can never figure out where their class is, or the most common- where the

Tribute to Single Working Moms
More... WORK-LIFE BALANCE....is there such a thing? I am starting to think it is a made up notion to give us working parents, especially single mothers a glimpse of hope. How does one do it? Get up, get ready for work, get child(ren) ready for school, go to work, get bombarded with other tasks that were not on the to-do list, leave work, get home, eat dinner, try to spend quality time with child(ren)

Blog #11
More... Hi Everyone, 
My First couple of track meets was great!!! For my first meet I was extremely nervous because I felt greatly unprepared. At the most recent track meet I came to compete.  I participated in the Long Jump (which happens to be my specialty).  Unfortunately I finished with second place under my competition. I managed to jump 5.20 meters; the mark to qualify for Nation

Figure it out!
More... So we are at the halfway point of the quarter. Time is really flying. As you know I am doing my externship this quarter. It had been an interesting experience. I think I have come a long way to where I am now. I have had some tough days but I have pushed through those days and I try to keep going. No job is easy and every job has work but as long as you are doing the things you love, you should be

Things are looking good for a while!
More... Once again life has shown that as soon as things are looking good for a while, here comes the curveball. For the next few weeks I’m looking at major oral discomfort. What was supposed to be a regular trip to the dentist for a teeth cleaning turned into tooth extraction. Sure, it’s something annoying to deal with, but the thing I’m really upset about is that this all happened the day AFTER Labor Da

Bark in the Park!
More... This weekend was a busy weekend in Chicago. We had the celebration of Cinco de Mayo, the anniversary of the Polish Constitution. The moon was also closer to the earth resulting in a "Super Moon", (which if you looked out Saturday night, it looked like the usual size, so I’m not sure what was so super about that). Also this weekend, The Anti Cruelty Society hosted their annual 5k walk fundraiser ca

LOSS
More... Just want to start off by saying Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers. I enjoyed the mother’s day part of yesterday but yesterday morning was a big upset for me.  Yesterday I lost my best friend/ pet bunny. I had him for almost three years and he was one of the best things that have happened to me thus far. He always brightened my day no matter how bad it was before. Losing him was devastati

I'm graduating!!!
More... As we approach the end of week 10/finals week, I am more than excited to be graduation with my bachelors in advanced culinary! I am also pleased to say that I will be graduating with a job with a well known Chicago company; Jewel. It is for a culinary manger positing at one of their new CK Grills. This was all thanks to the RMU career fair that was April 24, 2012. I was hesitant to go at first, bu

Keep On Pushing!
More... It’s that time of the quarter again the final 4 week stretch. It is always a stressful time because it seems like work just piles up on you at once. I believe in taking it slow and easy. Personally, I have been working very hard. It is still an up-down process but, then again that is life.  Homework, exams, quizzes, pop quizzes, etc are really exciting! I actually got a compliment on my impro

Well, time drags...
More... Things have been going very fast paced lately. 
I did my first event and open house as a student ambassador.  It tons of fun interacting with high school seniors and their families and educating them on our school.
I cannot believe we are already entering into week 8 out of 10! This quarter has really flown by! My roommate just got back from her study abroad trip in Florence, I

A great two weeks!
More... Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone has been having a great two weeks because as usual mine have been really hectic. This is week 6 so midterms just passed. I was a little concerned because one of my classes I have been worried about my grade. I have not checked yet but I am pretty sure that I am doing pretty well. I kinda miss home a little. I have not been seen around Christmas time.
