Stressful
Every semester around this time is when I fear I am going to get gray hair early. Why, you may ask? WELL, it is called SCHEDULING! Making my schedule for next semester is a pain (ask any student at Stevens!). From trying to fit classes around practice, trying to get all the classes I need to graduate, and trying to squeeze in some masters classes are really a pain and require time of deliberating which schedule is best. Thankfully, I was able to make a schedule that doesn't conflict with any of my outside activities!
Field Hockey Fun
Spring season (nontraditional season) is almost over. Our spring season culminated into a tournament against division 1 teams: Rutgers, LaSalle, and Drexel. The tournament was this Saturday. Overall, we held our own as we do every year. We are really lucky to have the opportunity to play division 1 teams, because we are a division 3 program.
I had a big learning season, meaning it was one of the most frustrating but rewarding seasons I have ever done. The great thing about spring season and the spring tournament is that it is only for our development. This season allows us to work on skills that need to be improved but can't work on in the fall (it's not a good idea to try and change a lot when you're in season).
I am EVEN MORE EXCITED for the fall for our season!

Through the Career Development Office, I was able to make an appearance on Fox 5 News last week. Fox was doing a piece on jobs for students in this tough job market. They interviewed the Career Development Office and a few students at Stevens to hear how we're coping with the economy and moving forward in the job search. Since I was fortunate enough to get an internship this summer (thanks to CastlePoint Careers through the Career Development Office), I was asked to share my thoughts and talk about my experiences. If you'd like to see the story, here is the link to the piece http://www.stevens.edu/press/watchnow/.
