What's new at NU?- Part 2
Hello, people. Since no one has posted in a while, I thought I would give an update about what is happening at Northwestern.
Right now, the second quarter is winding down. They say winter quarter is the longest quarter, and it has felt long, but I'm getting through it. All but one of my midterms are done, which is good. The pledge process at AEPi is finishing up too, which is nice as well. Soon, I will be just another brother. The sports medicine job is getting more intense as the year has gone by, which is good because I have more responsibility and can do more, but I also have to committ more hours to it. Currently, I have to cover football practice twice a week, and practice starts around 6:30 a.m.
I'm coming home next weekend- I'm looking forward to seeing the house and hopefully some of the fam for sunday night dinner. I also cannot wait to leave for Arizona. It has been so cold and it has snowed so much, I need that dry heat to recover. Speaking of trips, I'm also excited for Paige's Bat-Mitzvah, too. That will be a lot of fun.
I'm also currently in the process of getting a job in a lab this summer. I am applying for a research fellowship at the hospital here, and I have contacted and heard back from some professors about working in their labs. It's all pretty exciting, and I think I'm taking the right steps (hopefully) to the future I want.
Anyways, everything over here is going well and I hope this posts inspires others to post as well (no pressure, though).

im coming to chicago!
Hey Everyone! This is my second post in a row! Impressed Matt?
Anyways.. i wanted to tell you all that I am going to be in Chicago from Thursday until Monday for BBYO International Convention! There are a couple hours every day ( and about 5 hours on saturday) that i have free time! My mom told me that a few of you have asked if you would be able to come see me! Well.. you are absolutely welcome to! It just has to be in between those hours that i am free, and i am not allowed to actually leave the hotel! The convention is at the Marriott Oak Brook Hills Resort. i'm not sure where that is in relation to where you all live.. but i'm guessing you do! So, just let me know if any of you are interested in coming to visit me and i will let you know what the hours are! And my cell phone number is 404 326 6251.. in case you want to reach me while i'm there cause i won't have computer access!
Love you all!!!

Jamie's Exciting News!
Hey Everyone!
I just got back from Atlanta Council Winter Convention, a huge BBYO convention where elections for the 2008-2009 Council Executive Board took place! I am happy to tell you all that i am the 2008-2009 Atlanta Council Mazkirah! Mazkirah is the secretary which means that I am in charge of communication between chapters,taking minutes at meetings, and other stuff like that. I actually get to plan the biggest convention of the year, called Southern Region Convention (SRC), which takes place in the Fall! Many of my best friends are also on the boys and girls council boards and I am extremely excited!!!
I'm sure that this year will be full of stress and hard-work, but i am so determined to make the most out of my position and really shine as Mazkirah!
I would load a picture of the new boys and girls council boards together.. but the blogger won't let me insert a picture(matt.. why?)
Hopefully soon I will put up a couple of pictures of the new Atlanta Council Exec Board!
Love you all and see you in a short couple of months!
