New and Done

Hey!!
I wanted to let you guys know a new member will be joining us soon, his name is Pete. He will also be one of your DWC ambassadors.

This is the last week of classes. It is very hectic right now with last minute quizzes and papers. I can't believe it is week ten already. Having the quarter system things just move so quickly. It is nice because in a flash you are done. But being the end of spring term means that it is move out for most of us and that just adds to it all. But its cool for in week and a half it will all be done and it will be time for summer break.

Spring/Summer

Well spring is now in full bloom and summer is just around the corner. Philly is beautiful right now. All the flowers and trees are in bloom. Also this means the beginning of baseball. The Phillies games are so much fun. The best time to go to a Phillies game is on dollar dog night. This means all hot dogs cost a dollar. A nice thing about going to a Phillies game is that it is relatively inexpensive. Tickets are only like $16, and they are decent seats. I highly recommend once in Philly to take in a baseball game at some point. They are so much fun even if you do not care for baseball.

Chocolate

Chocolate is the topic of the day. I personally love chocolate. I lived near Hershey which is basically the capital of chocolate. This town smells like chocolate all the time. There is also an amusement park there. It is a lot of fun and there is one ride that at the end of the ride they give free samples of the new candy before it is released or just the candy of the moment. I got to try Take 5s and Kisses with the candy coating before they hit stores. Campus Activities Board (CAB) is organizing a trip to Hershey Park. They do this every year so I highly recommend going on this trip because Hershey Park is an amazing place with mountains of chocolate.

Favorites

Favorite Resturant-New Deck Tavern
This is a great little Irish Pub. The meals all taste home cooked if you have parents who can cook. It is great.
Favorite Shopping-Walnut and Chestnut Street between 15th and 18th
This is where Liberty Place is which is a nice mall. There is also a H&M and Urban Outfitters here so it is a lot of nice shopping.
Favorite Tourist Attraction-Elreth's Alley
This is the oldest residential street in America and is really beautiful. Also Old City is just amazing in general.
Favorite Museum-The Franklin Institute
Anything to do with Ben Franklin is alright by me and this place is all about him and his inventions. It also has the giant heart and an IMAX. Fun place to spend an afternoon.

Lil Sibs Weekend

This past weekend was Lil Sibs weekend. I brought my little sister to school with me. We had tons of fun. We watched movies, went roller skating, and played games. They even had a little carnival that we went to, it was fun. They had meals also set up for us, a pancake breakfast and taste of Philly dinner. It was a great time. My sister really enjoyed seeing where her big sister spent most of her time. I hope everyone gets a chance to do this, it is a great experience for both parties involved.

Fourth Week

Well it is the fourth week of classes right now and that means mid-terms start soon. Mid-terms are never that much fun. But the way it looks right now for me is that it should not be too bad. Otherwise nothing exciting is happening. It has been a pretty laid back week. I do have my Praxis exam this weekend that I am a little worried about. Other than that nothing happening here on the home front. I will give you a new update next week.

Job

So I work in the call center. It is an interesting job. I make calls to either accepted students or prospective students. The people I work with are really fun to work with. They make all the bad phones calls completely worth it. My mom is very happy that I have a job here at school. This way I ask her for less money during the year. But I still do.
