break

The nice thing about being on break from school is the ability to all the friends I went to high school. We are now able to catch up with each other and such. In face two of my very best friends and I are going to a concert this weekend at Hershey Park. This is place is the place Drexel does trips to. It is a pretty amazing place all in all. The nice also about being home is that I have my car and I can go visit all of the friends that I made in school. So even though I actually miss school being home is not too bad.


Also on a side note I am sorry that I missed last week's blog. We had a death in the family. But I promise to put in an extra one this week.

away from school

Well I am not at school this summer. It is a change to go between being at school for nine months to being at home for the summer. I miss school but that is what visits and IMs are for I guess. My first summer home I was very happy to be back home but this is my second summer home and I actually miss school. It is strange I know. College really does become a major part of your life and it is sad to leave it. Although being at home does have its advantages to, home cooked meals and parents there to buy your things for you so it is not that bad.

Summer

Hello everyone
It is finally summer and I am at home for it. Yes I will be working from as your DWC. I just moved so it is a bit crazy at my house this summer. It is amazing to see what one has amassed after eight years. Well this is just a quick hey and to say Congratulations on graduation.

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.

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.

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.
