Marching On

Happy March everyone!  I’m not even gonna mention March Madness this year.  I actually remembered to write this at the end of the month this time.  It’s hard to believe there’s only a couple weeks left of school.  Soon enough it’ll be summer time and I can enjoy a little bit of time off school.  Speaking of summer…

The Austria study abroad trip is slowly coming together.  It’s finally hitting me that I’ll be leaving in less than 2 months.  In April I have to go down to WKU for an orientation session so my family’s going to make a little vacation of it and go to Nashville for a night.  I’ve received some scholarships so far from NKU, but I’m also waiting to hear on a few more.  Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me.

March was pretty quiet for the MPA program.  Dr. Lambert did host a guest speaker, Richard Wolff, who discussed income inequality and the problems it causes for our democracy (those who are “feeling the Bern” would have really liked his lecture).  It was a great event, and I think a lot of people learned something about how crazy our modern capitalist society can be.  In April we will have the Spring Awards Banquet where Jeniece Jones, our MPA Distinguished Alumna, will be speaking. 

Registration for the fall semester just happened, and I signed up for a GIS course (which I’ve heard is a great class to take because you learn some unique skills) on Monday and Wednesday during the afternoon and Dr. Misis’ Homeland Security online class.  Yes, this means no night classes for me!!! 

At the Aronoff, I recently ushered “Newsies.”  It was a really fun show with the best choreography I’ve seen yet.  It also had a really catchy soundtrack.  Next up is “Book of Mormon” and “Beauty and the Beast” in April, both of which I’m super pumped to see.   

That’s all for now folks.  I’ll be back at the end of April for a recap of the semester and school year overall.  As always, thanks again for reading!
