An End to Midterms

Hey everyone!

Since I last blogged things have gotten quite crazy. Midterms are now over and we all can once again kick back and take a much needed break.

Last week I celebrated my 18th birthday - with a great surprise party and a fun weekend with my family. It was a nice break in between cramming for midterms and all the events at Dominican. ADSU sure has been keeping everyone on campus busy, from the Battle of the Classes events, Chilly's trivia each Wednesday and all of our dances.

I was lucky to attend a big event for the Liberal Studies program - Jonathan Kozol speaking in Angelico Hall. He spoke about his new book "Letters To A Young Teacher" and how big of an influence we have on each of the students we have the privilege of teaching. I love how Dominican always manages to get a hold of such powerful and intriguing speakers to enlighten us on a variety of topics.

Yesterday was Dominican's fall break day and I managed to schedule a trip home this weekend. I am so happy to be able to spend some time with all my friends and loved ones but miss everything back at Dominican. I cannot wait to get back to school and spend more time with my roommates and all of my friends.

The Ambassador program has been going quite well. We have our next campus visit day on Saturday the 20th, and I can't wait to meet all of the prospective students. Hope to see you there!

Until next time,
Amanda :)
