.....almost! So we are about 3 weeks away from beginning our fall semester. I'm am excited because I am looking forward to meeting all the "fresh meat"! (I mean Freshman!) =) Ill be back on campus in less than two weeks to prepare for Freshman Orientation. I remember my orientation last year and I can already tell that this year will be better!
What have I been up to? I am glad to say that I aced my Life Span Developmental Psychology class this summer. I've been babysitting almost everyday, which is fun because I get to spend time with my 5 year old sister. She gets on my nerves at times, but someone has to deal with her! I've gone to Mexico a few times and visited some family. I've been working hard promoting for a travel company I work for and earning free trips along the way. I have also had plenty of time to party and create some crazy memories for the summer. I'll just leave it at that!
Although I am excited to get back to school, Ill miss my friends and family in Los Angeles.
P.S for all you incoming students who are not from the San Rafael area....enjoy this summer to the fullest because winter will get COLD! Bring those big and warm jackets!!!
Ill keep you updated if anything exciting gets thrown my way!

A New Season
Tomorrow I am turning in my last paper for my undergraduate degree! Thats it I am done! But not really, just because I am a little crazy I am starting graduate school on Monday! Its a 3 week program where I'm taking 7 units so I can work more during the regular semester. Summer has been fun. I saw my family on the 4th of July at my grandmother's 80th birthday party celebration. The All-Star Game came and went from San Francisco in which I got to go to the Fan Fest. But basically I can not wait to see most of my friends here at Dominican again next month. Along with a new semester I am ready for a new football season too! I hope the 49ers get some play-off experience this year. if not we will go all the way in 2008. Either way I will be going to the games and cheering them on! I hope for all of you that read this, it has helped throughout the year. If you want to get in on it, just apply to be a Student Ambassador, applications should be out, so apply as soon as you can!

A New Beginning
Hey all,
It's unfortunate that I wont be posting any more blogs, however I've begun my internship and I'll hopefully be gaining experience in accounting during the next year. My internship is going great so far. I've had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends from schools close to and far from DUC. The internship is a great opportunity to get a look inside the workings of a large accounting firm and the multi-million dollar clients they serve.
Another perk is that as an intern I'm "wined and dined." There are a lot of flashing lights and a bunch of excitement in this stage. I'm keeping in mind, though, that it is a job. If things work out and I get a full-time offer I know I will be working my hiney off (sometimes up to 70+ hour weeks).
When any of you start looking for jobs or internships you have to consider what's most important to you. A job with the firm I'm interning at could be good for a single person because of the travel and the long work hours or someone with a family because of the exceptional benefits, and paid-time-off. Additionally there are a lot of fun activities for members of the firm including: happy-hours, sporting events, volunteer activities, etc. I'm also trying to keep in mind that I am being interviewed all summer in consideration for a full time job, yet I'm also "testing the waters" to see if this firm is a place I would like to work full time. In any case I'm trying to make the most of it, and I'm having a blast so far.
I wish you all luck in your endeavors and I hope you make DUC your home, as I have for four years. It's truely a great place to learn and grow and you wont find people of higher quality or class anywhere to share your experiences with. Thank you all.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Boucher
