Time Flies...

When you are having fun and when you aren't.

This week is Greek Week and we are currently in second place! Tonight is the big night... the talent showcase! We have been working hard on our routines and the show will be amazing. I can't wait... and hopefully the different routines will be posted on YouTube very soon!! We usually win the showcase and we have won Greek Week for 3 years now.

As for not having fun!?!?!? My computer has been in the capable hands of one of our tech ladies. At first we thought it was just the fact that I somehow had over 300 viruses. YES, I have very good virus protection and it updates constantly and consistenly runs in the background. Most of them came from apps and links on Facebook! Alas, the damage had also been done to the hard drive. Dell is sending me a new hard drive and the Dell hardware tech is coming Monday to install the drive. HOPEFULLY, he can save some of the items on my hard drive. Specifically, all of the documents I have saved. My music, pictures, and links will probably be gone. And on top of that... I had been slaving over my Lit paper. Haven't had access to my notes and such and have started over on my roomie's computer! Thank goodness for flash drives!

One other item of note for this past week, we received our housing assignments for next year. I made it into Jefferson Apartments (all students must live on campus... dorms for frosh, different sets of apartments for all others) and we even get my "big brother's" apartment which has been my second home this year.

We have our quad and right across the quad is the outdoor swimming pool where I spend quite a bit of time and the "beach" volleyball court. And parking is right our my back door! My current roomie and I will still be together, and we have 2 more good friends moving in. Best thing...W/D for only 4 to share. And a good size kitchen and LR. The kitchen has a full size fridge and even a dishwasher!! WOOHOO!

But first things first, finishing up my freshman year!!

Wordless Wednesday

Fall Break

It's hard to believe my first fall break has come and gone. I must admit, I was a little disappointed when I got home because no one was there to meet me. My Mommy and Nana had gone shopping and Daddy was working. I put my stuff in my room and I was definitely surprised. My mommy had rearranged my room and cleaned it up. The furniture was moved, the stuff on the walls were moved or removed (eek!), but except for the bedding, everything was all mine! It looked amazing!! However, she did admit that she was going to paint the room soon.

Daddy had baked me an entire pan of brownies! He would not even let mommy touch them the night before. He even told her they were for me. Thank you Daddy!

Mommy and Nana and I met for dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant and then home. I was actually exhausted.

Saturday, we just hung out. Daddy grilled steaks for dinner.

Sunday I went to church with an old "new" friend, if you get my drift. Another day of relaxing and watching movies.

Monday, was not the best day of fall break. I had to go have a consultation with an orthodontist. I have had braces twice already but my teeth have moved again, even wearing my retainer. So it appears, I will be getting some braces again for about six months but then will have permanent retainers. Mommy and I ran a few errands then ate lunch, ran by the fabric store to get some fabric and monogramming thread. I have a few things to be monogrammed, and we were going to make me a stitched shirt for my sorority. I went with Mommy to her doctor's appointment and then home.

Tuesday, I went to my last job, which is a dry cleaners, to drop off a coat to see if a stain could be removed. It is a wonderful winter coat and will be perfect for my little cousin. I also dropped off a dress to be hemmed. After that I ran by my old high school and surprised my best friend, who is a senior. When I came home, Mommy and I went to my Nana's house to start the monogramming but we ran out of time. It should all be done when I come home for Thanksgiving.

That's about it...uneventful but wonderful all the same. I hated to leave but looked forward to getting back to school. I definitely will not be coming home again until Thanksgiving because we have something every weekend with my sorority to get ready for initiation. I can't wait for that!! Now I am on the hunt for a white dress and white shoes!

At least my family is planning to come down Halloween weekend for our Homecoming!

I think I am going to take a nap before my next (last) class of the day: Phys Ed. Ugh. At least there are some cute guys in there. : )

Recruitment Update #2

Last night was Philanthropy and Financial night. Afterwards, they Pi Chis told us they would call us around 3 if we didn't get any invites back for this morning which was our "Sisterhood" session. I was so excited when I got to our location this morning and had received all 3 invites. We had the Sisterhood session and then ranked the sororities in order 1-3. Tonight is pref night and you can only get a max of 2 invites. I am so excited. When I arrived tonight, I got 2 invites and they were from my top 2. If all 3 issue you a bid, you only get the 2 that matched your top 2 if you are lucky enough to still have that option. As you read this I should be at the second "house" for pref night. After that we aren't allowed to talk to anyone about it, so....

tomorrow I will post who I am pledging!!

Can't wait to be a Greek!!

Recuitment Update #1

Last night went great! It was Open House round and we spent 30 minutes with each of the 3 Sororities.

(excuse my blanket folded inside out with my monogram backwards)

We had been requested to wear our Recruitment tees and I tried to dress it up a little.

I can't wait for Philanthropy and Financial round tonight 

GO GREEK!!!

What will be my perfect fit?

I am so excited. Finally, at last, formal recruitment starts tonight! I have been waiting since summer for Recruitment to begin. Since I attend a very small, private school, we only have 3 sororities on campus. As for the frats...the same, only 3. As you can see in the picture above, AZD, Chi-O, and Tri-Sigma are the only sororities represented at WU. Our Recruitment schedule is as follows...

Sept. 22 @ 7 PM- Recruitment Orientation

Sept. 23 @ 7 PM- Open House Round

Sept. 24 @ 7 PM- Philanthropy and Financial Round

Sept. 25 @ 9 AM- Sisterhood Round

Sept. 25 @ 7 PM- Preference Round

Sept. 26- BID DAY:)

I have met so many girls in each sorority (I promise, no dirty recruiting going on here...you just can't help it when Recruitment is so late) and right now, I know the order of preference in my head, but I am going in completely open-minded!!

I will TRY to post an update each night or day after a round, and hopefully a picture or two, but no promises.

Let the fun and frenzy begin!!

Good Luck..

My sweet South Carolina friend, Piper, is starting Rush today at Georgia Southern University today. Good luck Piper I wish you the best of luck!
