various newsie news

Well, its Wednesday and here I am again. I have to jump in the shower soon, read some more and perhaps head to lunch with my friend Candice before a meeting at 1pm for Operation Christmas Child.

Life has been a whirlwind of activity this week more than most. On Friday I spoke with Jen P. - the province director for the local ADPi chapter and agreed to become one of their chapter advisors. That in itself didn't affect my activity level (though it will slightly in the spring). What DID affect my activity level was my decision earlier in the week to attend an Alpha Delta Pi recruitment workshop with the chapter on Saturday at the chapter room. It started at 9am and I was there until 1pm when I went to the Baylor Volleyball game (they hosted #1 Nebraska and it was fun to watch such good volleyball) then listened to the remainder of the Greenville Football game on the web and went BACK to the rest of the workshop. I got home about 6pm and Sarah and I decided to skip the FB game at Baylor in order to study.... which lasted for about 2 hours until we were too tired to focus. :) I was planning to attend initiation with ADPi all along, but until Saturday I didn't know the date.... Oh, its this Thursday and ritual review (where they remind people like me about it) was Monday... SO.... I had to cram some homework in on Sunday, then we went to dinner at church and some friends came over to watch the amazing race. Monday I had work and then class (took a quiz... probably a "B" effort, sadly) and then had to quickly do more reading before my ADPi meeting that evening and a meeting for work. Phew. Tuesday was a day of work, studying and class and then REST.

I got to talk to my mom last night for a while, which was lovely. What a blessing.

This morning I slept in until 6:45. WOW - I feel, sincerely, like a new woman. Who know that 45 minutes could make that big of a difference?

Today I have work and studying and maybe a trip to apartment #5 to watch the Project Runway reunion with my new friends Joel and Jessica. Thursday I have lots of meetings and then initiation after work - and perhaps home in enough time to watch.... CSI, Grey's, etc... we'll see. Friday is the Alpha Tau Omega bed races - a Baylor tradition involving costumed teams of 5 racing hospital beds down a main road on campus... Saturday, who knows?!? I'm hoping to sleep in, get some cleaning done and start to get ahead on homework before I head to San Antonio next weekend.

OH..... and the most important news for some of you out there: I'm headed to Greenville. Officially. The weekend of November 4th and 5th. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! I won't have time for Rancho Nuevo, and I won't get to see a bunch of people one-on-one (time is just too short for it) but what I will get to see: some of my favorite girls (hopefully) Friday night; my favorite men playing football on Saturday (some of them for the last time in intercollegiate play); some of my favorite parents in the whole world on Saturday; some of my favorite toddlers and infants in the world and their parents, who I also love; and finally..... I will get to attend church with dear friends who are like family, spend quality time with a few close friends and get to pray and be prayed for. wow. So excited. mark the date! if you don't know when you'll see me, plan to find me at the game on Saturday.

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!
Love, Tiff

Consider the date marked! :) If nothing else, i'll definitely be at the game! are you going to be around for sunday night at the filby's? it's gotten pretty big, and i imagine after their chapel address today it will be even bigger. the first week he mentioned you a few times, and i definitely had tears in my eyes, even though i never was there with you! I'm just so glad i got the time with you that i did have.
ok, this comment is way too long!
I love you! :)
