What a week!

This really has been a crazy week. I don't know how many of you went to Winterfest this year, but I thought it was even more fun than last year. There were a lot of cool events that were happening this week, too. Between the auditions for the student plays, the Take Back the Night program on Wednesday, the LAF Safe Space, the B'ahai discussion and the two discussions the school was holding, it was hard to decide which one to pick from!

Even the food has been different lately. Is it just me, or has SAGE been spoiling us lately? On Monday we got all those amazing sweets for breakfast and dinner, the ice cream flavors have been really good this week and so have the desserts and we've even been getting vegan options lately. I'm not even vegetarian, but between the vegan patties and the soy nuggets, it's nice to know there are tasty options for vegetarians, vegans, people with allergies, health problems or who just don't like chicken. Even the Calzones tonight in Gator were extremely good. Students vs. Cafeteria food is an age-old argument, but it's always nice to see things get mixed up, especially when it falls in favor of things being kosher, halal, vegetarian, vegan or just plain healthy. My mouth is still watering from the free-form lollipops and the chocolate croissants.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Because apparently it's the 14th. I can't believe it's already Valentine's Day-The Snowpocalyse really had us trapped for awhile if it's already Valentine's Day. I still remember planning to spend this weekend seeing "My Name Is Khan" and posting about it. I'm really glad it's over, even if it was definitely something to go through together. For those of you who aren't completely sick of anything related to the word snowpocalyse, here's something funny related to it:

For all of the singles out there, I saw this on Twitter and thought I'd share:

Is it just me or is this really, really sexist? Men get drunk just as much on Valentine's Day, women eat and play video games just as much and the rest is just stereotypes, not to mention insulting to gay people. The woman who wrote it claimed she was just joking and being sarcastic, but even if she's joking, she could have stood to make it more balanced and not make her own gender look so stupid.

IT'S A NEW YEAR!

Well, it's time to get back to the grind. The work load isn't too heavy, so far. I did learn some valuable lessons last semester about managing my time and resources. Now it's time for application and synthesis and moving to the next level, which means also looking for work that will utilize and increase my skills and abilities.

For those of you that don't know, there will be a Career Fair @ Towson University on February 19, 2010 from 10am-3:30pm. I am really looking forward to it. I took part in the employer site visits last month and found them to be really eye opening in so many ways. I visited AGORA publishing, a very forward-thinking company with out-of-the-box business concepts! They hire all majors, which is also very nice, so I would encourage anyone that is interested to apply.

It's time to start writing those interview-getting resumes. Wish me luck!
