It doesn't feel like 3 weeks+ since I last blogged. I'm not even sure what I haven't told you all. I will tell you all one thing, though - these are definitely exciting times. I've been so busy that I don't even bother keeping a planner anymore because that would take a full hour out (or more) of each week just to keep my schedule. All of my schedule is online and others even have access to it to schedule meetings with me. How awesome is that....haha!

No but for real - these have been extremely busy weeks. On February 4th, I got to see Melissa Peterman do her first stand-up comedy routine in Nashville: "Am I The Only One?" She was really good! I'm excited to see it on CMT. Those TV tapings are really fun and interactive. After that, we got a bunch of snow and had Freshman Skits. Sigma Nu did not repeat our victory from last year, but our boys did place 3rd. We were really proud of them! The next week was Snowcoming, which was filled with fun events and loads of meetings. I went SNOWTUBING for the first time. It was soo much fun! Spring Sing was also that weekend, February 20th. Though Sigma Nu/Alpha Phi did not place, we won the Spirit Award!! That's the one we wanted! =] This weekend is INCREDIBLY busy. Tonight is Theta Crush Party. :) "A Theta has a crush on me..". Tomorrow night is our Sigma Nu formal and Saturday is Kappa Alpha Theta's semi-formal. The theme for semi is Kentucky Derby. I'm going to have a blast with that. Then!! Next week is our last week before Spring Break. Spring Break will be filled with much excitement, including the first Reba/George show!!

Am I too busy? Nahhh... This semester has been really fun so far. It's really exciting when you can start to see your experiences and opportunities opening up soo many more doors than what you'd planned. I hope all of you are doing well and keeping those prayers for spring consistent! =]

Oh my gosh. It's hard to even know where to begin with this blog. This past week has been extraordinarily busy, but I've loved it. I could do this every week!

Meetings have included for Spring Sing, the Butler/Shortridge summer camp that I'm doing, Ross Hall RA staff, GoodGuides mentor program through GoodWill that I'm helping with, SGA's PR Board, Kappa Delta Pi, and I've done 4 'chalk and wire' training sessions.

However, random (or even planned) fun adventures have been just as plentiful! It's been really fun between: ice skating, jersey shore party, rock climbing, hip-hop/noodles, South Bend chocolate company, sushi, wal-mart runs/dangerous shopping sprees, Hotbox!, oh - and a few trips to the HRC.

So - all in all, a very productive AND fun week. I'm not behind in any classes yet, which is amazing. Usually I'm behind starting the first day. I catch up, but right now, there's no reason to play catch up. I should probably get my RA bulletin boards done soon, but that'll happen....or it won't...haha. BIG BIG plans for this year that I'll be sharing with you later on. Staying up on Chris' Heroes means that I need to get one done ASAP. I already know who it's going to be, too - just gotta get it sent. I hope you all had an incredible week and enjoy some time off this weekend. I look forward to the rest of my weekend and beginning next week in full force.

Well hello! It's been quite some time, I see. I wish I could re-cap everything that's gone on in these last few weeks, but there's just simply too much! I hope all of you guys have had as good of a time as I have. These past few days have been phenomenal, and I believe that my 'life-change' and goals are succeeding more than ever before.

"Greek Christmas" was the best! I had soo much fun getting to know all of the Sigma Nu pledges and spending time with all of my greek pals/gals on rowdy row. Of course, splitting my time between all of the sororities was a challenge, but hey - there's been bigger challenges! haha. But for real, rowdy row was unbelievably fun.

Back to the grind actually hasn't been bad. I've found that when I actually do assignments and homework stuff, I enjoy school a lot more. I used to be one of the "fake-readers", and don't get me wrong, I still skim if something if WAY too long to read, but now I read my stuff. It's pretty great. I started my first journalism AND political science class this semester. This should be fun... Actually, every single class I'm in this semester - I'm really interested in and excited about, so that makes it 100% better than last semester. I was sooo dis-interested last semester because I was still in "core" or having a lot of reading to do that simply was not interesting at all.

Being Campus Involvement chairman for Sigma Nu is also really exciting because I love getting people involved in stuff. Sometimes, I probably seem pushy, but I'm really just excited about what that person might bring to the activity.

Reba!!! She's been #1 for FOUR weeks in a row now with "Consider Me Gone". I swore it was my own personal battle to get that single to #1, and now it's been her longest single at #1. That feels pretty good, even though I have to recognize that I really didn't do anything at all for that to happen. It's just a phenomenal song - that's it. Her new single definitely tops it, but I'm not sure the potential it has. Vvverrrryyy good song, though!! "I Keep on Loving You" is the song I chose to reflect on my entire 2009, so obviously I like it a whole lot. Let's keep this album a record-setting one for Ms. McEntire. Her tour begins soon (with George Strait and Lee Ann Womack), and obviously I'm excited about that. They keep adding dates, and I'm hoping Indy comes up soon...doubtful, though. "The country music tour of the decade" as it's being called is sure to be a good one.

Alright - so I've definitely chatted enough. I've got homework and administrative stuff to take care of. I hope all of you are doing well. Chris' Heroes is going to begin again soon, and I PROMISE it's going to be a week-by-week thing. I have sooo many personal heroes that I can't afford not to. Love you all! God bless

Chris
