Homecoming is Drawing Near...

Wow!! Such a long time since my last update...or so it feels. So much has been going on. I will try and condense the past 2 weeks into a post. It's going to be pretty difficult, though.

I will begin with the 14th of September. Woww...Greek Week and Dodgeball and Theta Grill-off week took up pretty much all of my time. However, it was very eventful and successful at the same time! On the 15th, we had our Homecoming Kick-Off. Our theme this year is "Stop, Collaborate, and Listen - Rewind Through Time Homecoming '09". Each pairing/trio has a specified theme. This year, Sigma Nu is paired with Kappa Kappa Gamma and Ross Hall, which is really exciting; our shared specified theme is "Pop Princesses" which pretty much consists of Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Madonna, Lady Gaga, etc. So that should be fun!

Wednesday the 16th was probably one of my longest days since I've been here. I could outline my day for you, but that would probably be really boring to read. However, I had all sorts of meetings, classes, trainings, and then cheer practice. That's always fun. On Friday the 18th, Kappa Alpha Theta hosted their annual Grill-Off, which raises money and awareness for CASA. We did our lipsyncs and had a Mr. CASAnova candidate; Sigma Nu won both. I was a part of the lipsync team, and it was a lot of fun.

Saturday the 19th was a BLAST!!! Sigma Nu Dodgeball in the morning (from 11a - 1p approximately). I'm not sure about our guys division, but Kappa Alpha Theta (team 3 I think) won the tournament in the women's league. Basically, that weekend was just SNu and Theta domination, I'd say. After Dodgeball - KENNY CHESNEY! That concert was awesome! I went with AJ, Ashleigh, and Mom. I had a ton of fun! Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Sugarland, and Kenny Chesney all performed. (In that order) After the concert, there was a Highlighter party which was soooo much fun, but also very hot. I had a pretty awesome day on Saturday. Any day that includes a dance party is a good one, eh? =]

This previous week was just a lot of work and meetings again. The weekend was ggreeat, though. I went home on Friday night to enjoy some time with the family and my Gwood girl. After Greenwood's homecoming game, Chelsea and I hung out with some of the other guard girls. Yesterday, I helped Mom get the concession stand set up for the Greenwood Band Invitational, which was a blast! Running around acting important is always fun, eh? Then last night was Pi Phi's informal, which was 80's Prom themed. I had wayy too much fun last night there, and I was completely wore out this morning. However, today has been pretty great!! Ross staff bowling, working on homework, chalking for our Homecoming King & Queen reps, and now I'm gettin ready for chapter. Definitely a lot of fun! =]

See ya soon! Hope everyone is doing well.

Good Morning!

As I sit here in Irwin, our famous library on campus that is shaped like a bookshelf, I'm supposed to be working on Calculus II homework. However, I'm taking the day off as I don't have it again until Monday. Also, I'm on duty all weekend, therefore I will have an abundance of time to get homework done. Also, you may even see another blog about how things are "really" going. Hopefully, you'll see some new changes on the site as well. I'm excited about it.

Well, as the last post said, I'm back at BU and loving it. Is there a place where you just feel like home and you never wanna leave? That is definitely here for me. Everyone (except like 6 people) are extremely genuine and nice. After losing some friends from back home, I decided it was time to completely branch out and try new things. So far, it was been working great. Abby and I are failing at actually getting to the gym every morning like we promised each other, but it'll happen. We've still been working out in some fashion..

My unit is awesome! Each of the guys brings something different and we need each of those talents, ideas, and personalities to make us UNIT TEN! Also, I have an adopted resident from "The Ocho", which ultimately makes my unit much better, eh? Haha. Nah, but I'd like to think that. School/classes are going well, but I'm really struggling to keep up with all of the reading(s) in the Education classes. Apparently if you want to be a teacher, you're suppposed to like reading. yikes!

Well, that is all for now. See ya soon!
