Where have I been? Not blogging...

I am sorry for the lack of blog posts recently! My to do list is getting longer, just like my nights in the library. The semester is starting to get really intense in all of my classes. This week I had 2 group projects, an Accounting exam, and 2 papers due. Finally, it is Friday and I am finished with it all!

I am really looking forward to my Marketing class next Monday, the Vice President of Sales for Proctor and Gamble is coming to talk to my class. This is a huge opportunity to learn a lot about a great corporation, and a leader in its field. Also, I am hoping to test my networking skills and make some connections.

I promise I will start updating more often. I really think I can do it... ;)

A Couple of Exciting Weekends!

October 2-4 was Family Weekend here at St. Thomas, and my family was definitely part of the festivities. My entire family gets really into it. I swear, my dad has probably spent more at the bookstore on apparel than I have on books! We had a great weekend. There was a brat and chili feed, a football game, and even a concert featuring "Tonic Sol Fa," an acapella group. It was great to spend the weekend with them! Love you Mom, Dad, Rick and Court!

This past weekend was Homecoming and the Tommies pulled out a win against Concordia! Much like in High School, homecoming here is about much more than the game. There was an event called Taste of Saints, held in the upper quad with food and games for the whole family to enjoy. You can bet my family was here, clad in purple gear. Again, a terrific weekend.

That's all for now- try and enjoy the snow... ;)

Kings of Leon!

On September 28th, 3 of my good friends and I attended the Kings of Leon concert! A fellow blogger, Sibel, was able to get us seats in a VIP Suite which was... amazing. The concert was the day before my 20th Birthday, and what better gift than tickets to see one of my favorite bands- in a VIP suite!

The concert was terrific. The band did have the flu, but they pushed through and brought a ton of energy to the songs they played. They were on stage for like 2 hours- it was quite the show.

One huge plus of living in the Twin Cities is the access we have to many music venues, theaters, and sports venues. This provides a lot of opporuntieis to explore the local scene and have a little fun on the weekends. I definitely reccommend taking in a show, concert or sporting event while in the Twin Cities. There are so many options to choose from!
