Megan Slosson '08 Updates us on Life in Baltimore

We're continuing to catch up with our alumnae this week. Megan Slosson '08 is enjoying her job, puppy, and is looking forward to moving downtown.



1. How long have you been in the Baltimore area?
I MOVED TO BALTIMORE AT THE END OF JULY 2009 AFTER LIVING IN ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA FOR A YEAR AFTER GRADUATION.
2. Where are you working and how long have you been there?
I AM WORKING FOR M&T BANK AND HAVE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY SINCE GRADUATION.
3. Where are you living?
AFTER MOVING BACK TO BALTIMORE I MOVED IN WITH MY LOVELY PARENTS TO SAVE SOME MONEY WHILE TAKING CLASSES IN THE EVENINGS TO PREPARE FOR THE CPA EXAM. I WILL BE MOVING DOWNTOWN TO LIVE WITH MY BROTHER AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE.
4. Are you enjoying your career?
YES. I AM LEARNING A LOT AND WHILE THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGING DAYS, IT IS A REWARDING EXPERIENCE.
5. Whats your favorite thing to do in Baltimore?
NOW THAT THE WINTER IS FINALLY OVER, I LOVE TO BE OUTSIDE RUNNING, PLAYING TENNIS, OR PLAYING WITH MY PUPPY (CHOCOLATE LAB NAMED REMI). 6. What kinds of hobbies and activities have you taken up since graduating?
SINCE GRADUATION, THE MAJORITY OF MY TIME OUTSIDE OF WORK AND CLASS IS SPENT WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND THE PUPPY. I HAVE ALSO JUST SIGNED UP FOR MY SECOND MARATHON WHICH I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT, BUT THAT WILL BE RATHER TIME CONSUMING BEGINNING IN JULY.
7. Do you keep in touch and get to see fellow Generals lax Alums?
I HAVE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIVING NEAR ME, BUT I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I HAVE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH FELLOW LAXERS PRETTY WELL. NOTHING IS BETER THAN COMING HOME FROM WORK AND FINDING AN EMAIL FROM SOMEONE FROM MY CLASS CONTINUING A GENERALS LAX TRADITION 2 YEARS AFTER GRADUATION.


8. What do you miss most about W&L/Lexington?
OBVIOUSLY I MISS THE TEAM AND THE COMPETITION, BUT THE THING ABOUT LEXINGTON AND W&L THAT I MISS THE MOST IS HAVING ALL OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS LIVING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. I LOVED THAT IF I GOT BORED IN MY OWN APARTMENT OR NEEDED SOME ENTERTAINMENT THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMEONE JUST A FEW STEPS AWAY (ESPECIALLY AT UTAH).
9.Anything else you'd like Generals players, friends and fans to know?
I WILL BE AT ODAC FINALS SO YOU BETTER WOMP!
