the good and the bad

This week has been quite the rollercoaster. From an impromptu tennis schedule switch and cable issue to RUSH activities and receiving delicious cookies today ☺ ‘good and bad’ seemed to be fitting for the time being.
Cable guy came Wednesday, only to hook up our cable and then have it not work the next day… SO I called and the guy is coming back tomorrow and credited our account $20. Woo! Off court practice times went from Tuesday and Friday’s to Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and on-court practices start next week, Mon, Wed, and Fri. I’m looking forward to it but going to be a busy girl!
RUSH is starting next week… which means were going to be getting more girls!! Delta night is Wednesday and I’m super excited!! Staying on topic, I just wrote and mailed the formal rush invites to all the patronesses and chapter presidents and sent them off today! Along with my big’s gift (Alyssa) in Salzburg, Austria!
Getting in the groove of things is somewhat of a challenge for me this year (so much fun! but difficult at the same time.) But hopefully after this coming week things will settle down and I’ll form some kind of a schedule.
THANK YOU TO megan and mom for the delicious carmelitas!! Very delicious and much needed! And I already downloaded the CD you made me, megan! My favorite is shake it.. haha xoxo
Delta’s EN FUEGOO is Saturday… our biggest fund raiser of the year, goal is $1500!!
We are setting up for it all day tomorrow starting at 1… woohoo!
That’s all for now…
♥ to my family who I miss very much ☹

hilary's side... our matching letters!!



my side

sophomore year!!

I officially completed my first day of classes :) and had a very busy/but good! day. Today I had ethics and social philosophy class (teacher VERY insightful, discussion based) visual cultural studies class (english prof w/ accent... love it!! haha.) reading and typed notes required but i think i'll learn a lot. And my third class was a fiction 1 workshop that I was on the waiting list for and got in! I only meets once a week (tuesdays) so it seems like we get a ton of assignments thrown at us but we have a week to do them. SO all in all it was a success. Tomorrow I only have one class, Images in Children's Lit (heard the prof for that is amazing) and the rest of the day off. yah!
What else.... today was the involvement fair, delta kappa psi had the "deadliest catch" fishy theme going on which was hilarious... hil headed it and i came late; from tennis lifting.. WHICH by the way was way more intense than I imagined... yeah it was an all inclusive basketball/tennis men/womens group and to say I was intimidated would be an understatement.
I absolutely LOVE hilary and my room!! its so cute, I'm obsessed... i'll put up pictures asap! (as soon as jackie helps me download pics from my new comp) :( but yes, living right next to jackie and lj is so convenient and they are the only ones with cable at the moment so gg and the hills was over in their rooommyy last night :)
I love the coziness of north (my dorm) and the fact that its so social but at the same time quiet at nights.
Everything is still new and exciting and I am more than ready to start this year off right!! :)

heelllooooo CALIFORNIA!!

Hil and I are officially in the lovely sunny state of California!!! and are 10hrs into our road trip. Though a long day, we passed the time by listening to some amazing CD's and gossip, woho! Tomorrow we will meet up with Megan and mom and stay with them for a night before moving into our room on SUNDAY!!!!
I am currently vegging in the Red Lion hotel about to pass out from waking up at 530am this morning, blah! We are both exhausted. But I wanted to update since I took a break over the summer and needed to update :)
My thoughts on being a sophomore:
- so happy to be living somewhere other than a freshman dorm
- get a sink in my room!
- living with HILARY and there are a ton of amazing girls on our floor!
- excited to actually know ppl and not have to start brand new
- RUSH fall 08'!!! jungle theme!
- not being pledge anymore ;)
- (hopefully) taking my first writing workshop... on the waiting list as of now
- nervous about having to decide where to go abroad... planning on it for next fall but have no idea where!!
All in all, I am so so excited to be back on campus and see everyone again!

♥ to...

Megan for making varsity!!
Austin for making squad captain!!!
My family- another year ahead of me... i always miss you guys!! ;)

seahawks game!

One more weekend to go before I head off to school... wow has the summer flown by! On Sunday Liz, Hil, Dani and I all supported our green and blue boys in uniform and went to the first home pre-season game, it was so much fun! Dani was by far the most knowledgeable about the sport however the others of us did our best to follow ;) we also ran into a few other friends and Aunt Romy and Uncle Joe spotted us from across the field with some pretty amazing binoculars i have to say! Traffic was awful but the car ride was anything but, haha. Mix my navigational skills and sarcasm with Lizzie's left/right disability and neat choice of music and it was meant to be epic.
Here's a pic of the gang all in our green&blue (except for hil) Sophomore year is almost here!!!

first picture ever!!!!

JACKIE JUST SHOWED HOW TO FINALLY UPLOAD PICTURES AND HERE IS MY OFICAL FIRST ONE!!!!!
THANK YOU JACKIE!!!!
