Bruins

It's that time of year, playoff hockey season! The Stanley Cup defending champs, The Boston Bruins are back in the playoffs. In the first round they're playing the Washington Capitals. So far there has been a total of 6 games played in the first round. They have split them 3 and 3. The deciding game will be played on Wednesday and I could not be more excited. The series has been back and forth for who has looked stronger and I as of now I'd say the Bruins have looked stronger. Game 7 will be played in Boston so it's another advantage for the Bruins. I'm really relaying on the Bruins, if they lose I'm going to pretty upset.

Nice Weather

The past week was filled with sunny and warm days. When the weather outside is as nice as it was it puts me and others in a much better mood in my opinion. Everyone is looking forward to the day ahead just to enjoy the nice weather. The only downside to all last week being so nice is now that it's cold again it makes the weather even seem worse. I was hoping that from here on out it was going to only be warm weather but I guess not. It has gotten me so much more excited for summer weather that I can hardly wait. The cold rainy weather makes me way more tired and not in a mood to get things done. At least the warm weather will be here soon enough!

End of the Year

Finals are coming up pretty quickly. It's hard to believe there are only 2 weeks of school left this year. Freshman year flew by so quickly it makes me wonder where the time has gone. For the first time in my life I can honestly say I don't want the school year to end. I've made so many close friends here at school that I don't want to wait till next september to see them again. Plus unlike most past summers this time I will be working most likely full time. I would rather be here at school learning and doing school work rather than working in a restaurant.

Red Sox

So the Red Sox are about 7 games into the season and things are looking a little iffy. Are record is 2 and 5. Not a very good start but they won last night by a total of 10 runs. I'm not sure how I feel about the team this year, it definitely doesn't look as strong as they have been the last couple years. I'm going to stay optimistic though and hope for a playoff contention. One thing I really don't like about the team is the new head coach, Bobby Valentine. It's is first year as our head coach due to Francona's departure. My first impression of Valentine is that he's all about the media attention. I've seen him on a couple commercials and he flies to New York every week to take part in a sports show. If you're going to coach the Red Sox you can't be flying to New York like that. It's not acceptable and it's a distraction. I hope things get better for the Sox otherwise I see things coming down on Valentine.

J. Cole

For the last weekend here at school I'm going to the J. Cole concert which will be held at the Whittemore Center. I'm very excited seeing as the first two concerts I've been to up here have been a blast. The first two were Avicii and David Guetta. They were both dubstep concerts which is pretty much a form of techno, something to dance to. This concert will be rap which is what I like. There are a bunch of songs by J. Cole which I really like and I'm hoping he plays. Along with J.Cole, another rapper named BIG Krit is also coming. Personally I think BIG Krit is a better rapper than J. Cole and I'm really looking forward to see him perform. This will most likely be the last big night of the school year so I'm hoping it will be a good kick off to summer!

MIS

MIS is an abbreviation for managerial information systems. It's an option for the business school here at UNH and also one of my current classes. I find the class pretty interesting, it's pretty much working with excel and access two Microsoft programs. With those two programs we enter in information based on a company to predict what certain revenue and expenses might be so that company's can know where there at and to help them make decisions. I find it pretty interesting and it's something I'm definitely considering majoring in. It allows pays relatively well coming out of college and that is definitely a plus. If I don't major in MIS than it will most likely be marketing. I have up until next year to decide so it's going to take a lot of hard thinking to figure out what I'm going to choose.

Summer

With the end of the school year quickly approaching it's time to start thinking about summer plans. The past couple of summers have taken it rather easy, working a few days a week to make enough spending money at college. Since I've used up just about all that money here at school it's time to start making some real money. So this summer I'm looking in to get a full time job where I'll be working from Monday to Friday. The job that I have my eyes on right now is being a host at a local restaurant called Not Your Average Joe's. It's a pretty popular restaurant in my town and chances are I'll be seeing a lot of people I haven't talked to in a while. I'm definitely looking forward to it, it should be a challenge for sure but I'm ready.
