Refresher

Well, where did I leave off? Last Thursday I helped with clean up of the blood drive. It was pretty fun again, and for doing so, Rachel gave us each a box of ice cream for our houses. Well, there were three boxes in my box. So we have a lot of ice cream - still. Then Friday we had K-Day, short for Keweenaw Day, where all student orgs can sign up for an informational table at a park to get more members. It was okay, I got a free walking taco and realized how hard it is to eat it from a bag haha.

Then we left for the annual AGD retreat at 6. We went to Agate Beach with the intent of camping. We set up the tents, put our stuff inside, made the fire, etc. We roasted hot dogs, told stories, ate some s'mores. A few sisters went swimming before eating, and I took pictures with my camera. I got some cool photos of the sun and the fire. I also spilled ketchup on my lens... Oops. But it cleaned up fine and didn't get inside the camera, just the surface. It was so windy by about nine thirty that our tents were literally not standing up anymore, so we packed up and headed back to the house. Saturday wasn't too memorable, just a normal, lazy day.

Sunday evening I had two meetings. First, I went to the panhel meeting, which is the governing body for all sororities on campus. I heard the rules for formal recruitment this year and more of the plans. My advisor came with us to the meeting, and us Alph Gams stayed after and talked, straightened things out. We're getting nervous for how things are going to go, but I don't want to worry about it quite yet. Then my second meeting was the Blue Key meeting. I basically signed in, got a t-shirt, met my group and left. Then I went back and slept.

Monday morning I had work, so I went in. Apparently Judy didn't know there was even a schedule, so maybe I can hope for a few more hours? I also sent a package in the mail! Then I headed to classes, which were pretty much uneventful. I did, however, speak OUT LOUD in Spanish class. I was proud of myself, and I think Talia was surprised, because she was my professor last spring and I didn't talk at all. Then institutions seems like its going to be painfully boring.

Then I killed time until our Monday meeting by making a PowerPoint for formal recruitment. Meeting was long and informative, but my report, the recruitment one, was the longest because the only thing we have coming up is formal recruitment. After meeting I did some homework and went to bed.

Tuesday, yesterday, I spent my morning working on the PowerPoint again. Then I headed to class. I don't think I'm going to like my business class. It's so... Basic? I guess. My STC class isn't bad though. After classes I headed home to eat some lunch/dinner around 3:30, then headed back to campus for my 5 o'clock meeting for Order of Omega, my Greek honor society. Our eboard met with our adisor and Rachel Wussow (who I'm seeing a lot of these days) to talk about our year. I'm excited, because we are doing a LOT compared to past years. Plus, I'm in line for either VP or president at elections for next year.

My second meeting was with the recruitment chair of panhel to talk about the plans Alph Gams has for this year. My president and advisor were there too, as was the advisor of panhel. It confused a lot of things for formal recruitment, but our events are set, so hopefully all ends up going well. We also found out we can give out informational brochures to the potential new members. So when I got home I started designing one. Then I went to bed.

This morning I worked on the brochure some more before heading to campus for my classes. I got free taffy in my marketing class (the one with Beka) because our professor owns a candy shop. Then my Spanish class wasn't bad. Institutions was boring again. Then I talked to mom on the phone, and headed to the MUB. I spent about a half hour working on my brochure before heading to my Blue Key office hours, which start today. After my office hours, I will go to my last class; Husky Game Development, and then to a Panhel social to promote the sororities on campus as a whole. Then I'll head home for dinner and homework.

Oh, that's the other thing I forgot, my husky game development class, which is actually an enterprise, had an assignment due Sunday. I had to think of a game idea. Now, anyone who knows me knows I don't play video games. That being said, I had a tough time thinking of one. My sister Lindsay, who graduated, came up with the idea, and then Katelyn and I elaborated on it, with me putting in the graphics and wording it. It's a pretty cool idea, actually. I'll post another blog with the text.
