Squeaking Through

It's been a week since my last post, to keep up with my goal of once a week I must write!

So let's see, last Wednesday is where I left off. I woke up, went to work, then class. I also brought my camera to campus, since the colors on the trees was beautiful! And in it's peak. So after Marketing, before Institutions, I walked all the way around campus, taking about 150 photos of the trees and leaves. It was a lot of fun, and I got to use my camera some more. I now have documentation of the beautiful campus I have! I went to Institutions after that and surprise, it was boring and unhelpful. After that I headed home and napped. Then I showered when I woke up, and did my house job, since Pinning was Wednesday night. I actually straightened my hair too, I was in a good mood. I used my camera that night too, I took a lot of photos, but the girls will have photo memories forever now.

Thursday was normal, I slept in, and then went to classes. Then I came home and napped. It was a rough day in that I was very tired. I also gathered leaves from the DU front yard before I headed to classes. We had a recruitment event Thursday; we made roses out of fall leaves. DU's tree had really, really red leaves. So I emailed Aaron (their president) and asked if I could take them. Of course, he said no problem. When I woke up from my nap later that night, I set stuff up and got all ready. The actual event went well. No one complained and we had a decent amount of sisters there for it not being mandatory. We also had four potential new members come. Four! I was a happy camper. I also really, really like one of them. Her name is Monica and she's a first year, wait for it... STC! Perfect! She seems really interested too, so I'm hopeful.

Friday I missed work because I was too tired to get out of bed. It's a problem. But I made it to my classes, and between the two classes, I met with Evie to go over my volunteering duties for Saturday for the open house. It was pretty simple. She also gave Sam and I (the other girl volunteering for our department) gift cards for the bookstore for volunteering! It was a wonderful surprise. Then since I hadn't made it in to work in the morning, I went in the afternoon. It worked out much better for me, and I got an extra hour! Score. Then I pretty much did nothing the entire night. It was nice.

Saturday I slept in and moseyed around a bit. Then I headed to the HDMZ to volunteer. My job was to give tours to anyone that looked like a prospective student and/or a parent. I was there from 12-3. I gave one tour. It wasn't too bad either. They came back an hour later to talk to Evie and Evie called me over to give a students view (since the prospective student is interested in STC). So I answered questions and then they left after about twenty minutes. Then I sat and talked with Evie. She said I did a really nice job talking to them, and I was proud of myself for that. Then we talked about internships and co-ops. It was fun, plus she gave me candy. So for three hours of sitting in the HDMZ and giving one tour, I got to get a LOT of homework done, a $20 gift card, free candy (Almond Joy, made me think of momma), AND I got to get on my advisor's radar and get to just sit and talk with her. It was nice. After that I headed home and did a bit more homework, then a whole lotta nothing. Relaxing is quite fun, I'm learning.

Sunday I had nothing planned until 7 pm, when I had a Blue Key meeting. I mostly hung around, did a bit of homework, spent time with sisters, etc. I also went to chapter dinner, which was chili and cornbread... yummy! Then when I got to campus, and was in the back of the room for the Blue Key meeting, I got an email that it was okay for me to step back. Yay! So now my Wednesday's are free again. Well, kinda.

Monday I dressed up for Alph Gams, and then headed to work. It was awful, as usual nowadays because I'm so tired. But I survived. Then I went to class, which was decent. Not much new there. Then I came home and dropped off my backpack, grabbed my padfolio with my resume and cover letter, switched into heels, and headed to the Harold Meese Center to drop off my job documents. I'm really hoping I get this job, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Then I came home and napped. Then ate dinner, and went to meeting. After meeting, I did my laundry and that was pretty much it. Another regular, uneventful day other than dropping off the resume and cover letter.

Tuesday I got up and headed for my two week check up at Portage Health. They did three more tests (including more blood work) to make sure my white blood cell count is good, and to see if my kidney was what was giving me pain. She also recommended that I have an ultrasound done to make sure my spleen isn't enlarged. So then I headed to class. Then my other class. After Tech Comm I talked to my professor for a good five minutes about my homework, which I wasn't sure about. I'm glad I did though, I fixed a lot of things so hopefully I'll get a better grade. After that I headed home. I took a short nap and then got ready for our recruitment event; sugar cookie decorating. I made the cookies and I was really frustrated. I didn't think I'd have enough time to cook them, the dough was too dry, we didn't have a heart shape cookie cutter. But it all ended up being okay. We had two girls come, and we all decorated a lot of squirrel and acorn shaped cookies. Then they stayed for Crazy, Stupid, Love, which we watched at eight. Monica, the pnm, asked what the next step in joining AGD is! I was so excited. Hopefully she keeps this enthusiasm through Sunday!

Then yesterday. Well, I woke up late and called the bookstore to ask if it was okay that I didn't come in. Then I slept. I slept til about 11:30, missing my first class. It didn't really matter to me though, I texted Beka and she said all he did was go over chapter 7, which I read. The rest of the day I spent doing homework. I cranked a lot of it out. Then I headed to campus around 3 to finish my homework, because our internet was down. Then I went to my enterprise class/meeting. It lasted a half hour. Then I went with Beka to pick up pnms for our rush yesterday. No one came, which was real depressing, but okay because I had time to eat dinner and relax. So it wasn't a bad day overall. 

So that's been my catch-up... stay tuned for more haha.
