Basically, it was filled with work, family, and friends (with some shopping in there, of course!).  But life has been crazy here!  I am, however, proud to report that I have a relatively steady gym schedule at the Albright gym.  I feel so much better after hitting the gym, don't you?

I just got back from one of my brothers' soccer games.  They WON!  And he almost scored...almost; this gives me opportunity to tease him.  We teased each other about music on the way home.  One of his…

I find it hard to believe that I have already posted two blogs and so far have neglected to mention anything relating to Harry Potter.  As I type this, the countdown is at 15 days, 9 hours, 35 minutes, and 18 seconds until the second part of the final movie is released.  I already have my tickets!  Steering Committee (the leaders of the POPs) is going to the IMAX showing at midnight before sneak peak at the R/C Theater in…

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe that the day is almost here!  Tomorrow is the day that I leave my entire family in New Jersey to travel to Spain.  I'll be leaving my house around 2pm so that my mom and sister can drop me off at the JFK airport before 6.  Once there I will probably be reading a book in the airport once I get through customs and whatnot.  I am super nervous since this will be my first time traveling outside of the country, let alone by myself.

My flight leaves…

This past weekend I took a little four day trip to the beach with my girlfriend and her family.  Let's just say four days isn't long enough at the beach.  It went by so fast, before you know it I was back in good old Bethlehem working everyday.  However, the beach was awesome!  Of course I demolished my girl in miniature golf on numerous occasions but she did have more holes in one than me.  But, as the old saying goes... "slow and steady always wins the race" hahaha.  We spent a lot of time…

It won't be too long now until I'm back at Albright working for the remainder of my summer! and I am so EXCITED! My summer home, as relaxing as its been has taken its toll on me, I have no work to do here so naturally I am itching for something, anything to do to keep me occupied! So I have resorted to yard work around my forrest of a house, lots and lots of movies old and new to watch in the company of some great friends, and most…

Some snippets about my experience in The Grand Teton National Park:

I know that spring happened like two months ago in Reading, PA, but at 8000 feet above sea level in Jackson Hole, WY, spring is just now occuring. It is not uncommon for me to walk to work in 30 degree weather at 5:30 AM. It has snowed often since I have arrived. Up in the mountains, the snow will never melt.

I got up close and personal with a grizzly bear recently. Luckily my friend got a good picture…

So my summer job is babysitting two little boys who are so stinkin cute and funny!  We do something new everyday like go to the beach, the playground, visit my dog or the library.  However, both of the boys have I-pads.  Okay, so you may be thinking what I did, that they are spoiled and shouldn't have such high technological advancements at such a young age, but over the past few weeks, I have realized that they are great learning tools!  The boys are not attached to them at the hips, like…

So, who is coming here next year and totally excited for POPs (Albright's very unique orientation program)?! Because I sure know I am! I have gotten to spend the past two weekends preparing for orientation and training. So our POPs are going to be super prepared for all of you new students! Being on Steering Committee is one of my favorite things that I do on campus. I love every aspect of it…

     So summer is moving at the same old slow pace. Although I wanted and needed summer so badly, Im now missing Albright even more. But to keep my mind off of wanting to go to school I recently just went down to LBI (Long Beach Island) NJ. I went down with two of my best friends for my best friends mom's wedding. It was soo nice and so fun ! It was at the Surf City Yacht club and over looked the bay!…

Welp, I have been on vacation from school for a total of 26 days and I honestly feel like i have actually accomplished something so far this summer. There are always those friends that you talk to that don't do anything all summer and then theres also those friends that you know who do everything under the sun...literally.

So far this summer I have:

1. Unpacked all my belongings from college (usually doesnt happen till right before I go back to school LOL)

2.…

The time has finally arrived for me to begin sharing snippets of my life in this FACES Blog. I may be a week behind several of my peers, but that’s okay because I’ve been busy this summer. Shhhh!

I…

I'm writing from a break in one job before I start training for the next. I'll be here over the summer working for Summer Conferences, and training is in less than one hour.  I am really excited for this job, and even though I was only home for three weeks, I made the most of my time there (meaning I ate all the food my parents had there).  This will be my first summer at Albright, and I can't wait to see whats in store!

My summer is moving so fast, and so far everything I have done or am going to do has been referred to me by a friend from Albright!



Three weeks ago I participated in a Primary Care Scholars Program through Penn State University College of Medicine where we talked about different professions in primary care, such as sports medicine.  I had no idea sports medicine could be practiced by a primary doc.  Two of my friends, Katie and Larryl had previously completed the program, and they…

This summer I'm taking a summer class, International Economics, Finance, and Trade.  Along with taking the class (until June 30th), I will be working here on campus and celebrating my 21st birthday here on the 28th.

I find myself never leaving Albright...that's okay though!

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

Super stoked. Since last Tuesday I've: decided I wanna get a motorcycle, got my permit, signed up for and started a PA Motorcycle Safety Program and started the class, at the end of which I get my license! It's been a hectic couple of weeks, haha. I've also spent a ton of time seeing old friends and hanging out with my family, but I can't wait to get back to school for the summer and start my job! only three days left!

Hey everyone! So for those of you who don't know me, I am so completely in love with the Backstreet Boys. On Sunday, I finally got to see them, and New Kids On The Block, in concert after 14 years of fandom. Here are some of the pictures. Hope you enjoy them. :)

Nick Carter (my favorite!!!!) singing…
