  • Less than 36 hours until the big day.  Been trying to convince Mom that I am not going to take 21 shots.  While I do think it would be fun to DIE on my birthday, I have decided against that ritual.  So no fear.  In the words of Minerva McGonagall, "It will be a night…

  • Just found out that the Beta Pi Chapter won "Best Overall in 2005" at the Alpha Phi Southwest Regional Conference.  Feel like dancing.  Feel like crying.  Mostly just feel Proud.

  • So I finally did it.  I got out from under the rock.  I watched all nine episodes of Grey’s Anatomy Season 1.  I am officially back at the center of pop culture and completely obsessed with becoming a surgeon.  That is a lie.  But I am in full support of Organ Donation (Episode 3…).  Consider…

  • Just got back from the best interview ever.  I have had a lot of interviews.  Normally I walk in, smile, answer a few, ask a few, walk out.  I go in wanting the job and leaving wanting the job.  I went into this one not really caring.  I left wanting it.  I left knowing that…

  • Woke up this morning feeling siiick.  Sore throat, running nose, congestion.  Still managed to give a speech in Bus Comm, take a gender midterm and go to yoga.  I also napped for about 3 hours. Interviewing tomorrow morning with Target.  It’s a summer internship that would more than likely be down here…in store.  Not sure…

  • According to Hot Relationships by Tracey Cox, studies show that the two happiest groups of people are married men and single women.  I have conducted some research of my own: I am Single.  I am Happy.  And I have two single wingwomen/roommates that are pretty happy with their relationship status.  And my dad is happy…

  • The yoga teacher did not show up today for my 4pm class.  This guy in the back shouts out "I think it’s time for individual practice."  Dude, I could not agree more.  So for 40 minutes I went into my own practice: sun salutations, inversions, balance poses…the whole deal.  Realized that I am able to…

  • Just got back from class.  The lawn is being mowed.  Wearing shorts and a t-shirt.  Going up to the sundeck to tan and study for midterms.  Love it.

  • On Friday, I finished The Purpose Driven Life.  40 days of reading.  40 days of learning about my purpose.  40 days of becoming a pretty humbled Christian. I wish I could put into words what the book was about.  It was difficult.  It is hard realizing that how you live your life is not how…

  • <—Mel was Chicago.  Michelle was Alabama.  I was Nor Cal.  Sara was Kansas.  Sally was Chicago.  Megan was So Cal.  Liz was Texas. So last night was the invite.  My first one that I did not have to be control of.  Not gonna lie, got a little too relaxed.  But it was good times, good…
