Yikes

Has it really been so long since my last post?? Yikes, time really does fly by. Anyway, back to my rundown. Sunday I had the External Greek Review, which was a large discussion retreat for the executive councils of each Greek organization on campus. I had to facilitate a session as an executive member of Order of Omega, and that was scary. It wasn't bad, and I got to do it with Sushi, who's Brandon's little. That was pretty cool. Then I ate chapter dinner. It was pretty yummy. It was Halloween themed food, so for an appetizer, they made apple slices and shoved pretzel sticks into the slice, and then put marshmallows onto the sticks for eyeballs. Well, I don't really like marshmallows so I took them off. Then for dessert they made dirt dessert, pudding that looks like dirt. Well, they put gummy bears in it to say it was a gummy bear graveyard. Well, I don't really like gummy bears and chocolate together, so I picked out the gummy bears. Monica (my new child) was sitting next to me. When we were all done eating, one of the other sisters laughed at us because I had marshmallows and gummy bears on my plate, and Monica had marshmallows and gummy bears on her plate! It was pretty funny.

Monday I went to work (both the bookstore and HR) and classes. Then I had meeting and laundry. Tuesday I went to HR work, and then went to a LEAN thinking presentation for work. It's pretty interesting, and I'm really excited as this job progresses. Then I went to classes, and then work at the Bookstore since they were short staffed. After that I went to a HuskyLead, which was really fun since it was about marketing and how to better present your organizations. Then I had an Order of Omega meeting. When I got home, I did my dish day and cleaned up the kitchen. Wednesday I went to classes and then came home and slept. It wasn't a very good day. Then I woke up to register. I'm really excited about my schedule for next semester. Thursday I went to work and then classes. After classes I had an Order of Omega meeting again, and then after that I went to the house for an Alph Gam function.

Friday I only had classes. Then at six I went with my sisters to Sigma Rho, one of the fraternities, for a dinner they made us. I guess one of our sisters has a resident who's pledging to their fraternity and decided that it would be fun or something. But we had lasagna and it was good. Then I came back and sat around. Saturday I had work, at which I did some homework. Shh. Then after that I went to Walmart with Taylor and Monica to pick out fabric for family letters. It took us an hour. Haha but we also made dinner when we got back, spaghetti... yum! It was a lot of fun. Sunday I had to help facilitate the Greek New Member Orientation. I think it went really well, though none of the new members particularly looked happy or thrilled haha. We hadn't expected them to be very happy or enthusiastic though. After that Alph Gams started I-week, a week of rituals to initiate our new members into our fraternity. Monday I went to work at the Bookstore and then classes. After institutions I came home, ate something quick, and then headed to my HR job. Then we had meeting and I had laundry. Then more Alph Gam stuff at night.

Tuesday, yesterday  I went to work in the morning. I met the other woman that I'll be working with/for too. Then I went to classes. After classes I hung out on campus, studying for my institutions exam. At six, I went to an STC speaker series in Walker. It was a speaker who spoke about internships. It was really interesting, and I got a lot out of it. At that presentation, I set up a time to meet with him today. After that presentation, I had an Order of Omega meeting again. We opened nominations for next year's e-board and chose new members. I am nominated for president. Yikes! Then I came home and hung out with Monica for a bit, since she had gotten out of her new member meeting. Then I studied for an hour for my exam.

Today, I'll talk about later.

Today

Well, let's see. Monday I went to work, then classes, and then Alph Gam meeting. We got our Alph Gam cards, which have discounts to local restaurants. Each of us has to sell thirty. I went over to the DU house and sold a lot. Then I walked around with Margaret to a few other Greek houses. We sold several. After that I did some laundry. Tuesday I went into my new job! It was so exciting, I was introduced around and showed around. Then Cat and I talked more about what was expected of me and stuff. Then after that I came home, ate lunch, and then went to classes. After classes I had a meeting for Order of Omega. Then I came home. I walked around with Beka to yet more Greek houses. Wednesday I went to work and then classes. At noon I had a study date with my child. Then I went to class. I didn't feel well, so I went home and slept the day away after that.

Thursday was a pretty good day. I went to HR work and had my first "real" day. I got to research a bunch of websites for other schools and compare them to one of our pages. Then I went to campus. I stopped by Subway on my way to campus and got a sub. I didn't get to eat it until after my meeting though. I met with the advisor for Panhel with my group to discuss our plans for the external Greek review on Sunday. I ate my sub afterward and then went to classes. Then I went home and tried to sleep. I couldn't fall asleep. Then we had Meet the Greeks for my kid's class. It was fun. We ended up at DU playing charades. It was a lot of fun.

Friday I woke up and went to work. Then class, then I sat in Fisher for an hour, and then went to my Institutions class. We watched a short movie that was pretty funny. It was an old tv ad for kitchen appliances. After that I headed to Subway again to eat lunch/dinner. I got a spicy Italian sub this time, with lettuce, onion, green pepper, and banana pepper! It wasn't bad either. I liked the pepperoni. Then I headed to HR work. I finished up the website research and made some mock-up designs for the new one. When I came home I did Fran's dish day, since we switched this week. She went out of town this weekend, so she did mine on Tuesday. Then I was texting Brandon and texting/talking to my mom for a few hours. The result, I HAVE A CAR :) It was really exciting. It's a Subaru Legacy, so it's pretty and it's a good, reliable car. After that I didn't do much, hung out and then went to bed. Today I have done laundry. That is it.
