Hello faithful friends!
It has been a long time (weeks?) since my last Wednesday update. I don't know yet what day of the week, this semester, I will be updating my blog, but I do still plan to do it weekly. I have one morning class (mondays) and two evening classes so I have a lot of morning/daytime time, but I also have to work, advise ADPi and have fun - or even simply eat meals!
Last week, upon returning from Phoenix, was a crazy one! I got back into town, celebrated the New Year's Eve holiday with friends and immediately went into recruitment world back at Baylor. The life of recruitment (which for me was pretty much show up about 6:30am and leave around 2:30am or so) was exhausting and reminded me of football camp. I remember my first football season and how by the end of the first week I just wanted to lay on my floor and cry on Sunday.... which I did frequently that first footbal season. I didn't lay on my floor and cry during recruitment, but that may have been because I got home so late that I simply lay in my bed and slept for however many 2-3-4 hours I was home, got back up and went back - yikes! There were some emotional times at the chapter room, some hard times as an advisor and as an ADPi sister. I was mostly proud of the women I encountered, proud to call them sisters and know that we share something special and that they represent what an Alpha Delta Pi is. Sometimes I was not proud. But overall, it was a great week. I feel like I made a couple lifelong friends, and I would never have met these women if it weren't for my membership in Alpha Delta Pi sorority so that's neat. And I'm so thrilled with the women who are now a part of our Alpha class here at Zeta Chi chapter (baylor). I'm very blessed to be a part of the advisory team of this chapter!!!!
In other news, I think my classes are going to be fun. I'm really excited to "get into them" and begin to learn again. I started reading last night for my human development class and there is a LOT of text in that book, so hopefully I'll find a method to make it manageable. I still haven't received any of my books for one class yet and the only bright spot in that is that we don't have that class next week because its Monday... and we have the MLK, jr holiday off school.
I promised some pictures from my parents remodeled house, and so I'll try to do that here. We didn't get any pictures of the Christmas lights outside, though I think it was the prettiest year by far - griswold-ian, but pretty. :) And I didn't get enough pictures of the inside, probably, but we were having such a good time playing Settlers of Cattan and Super Scrabble and Deal or No Deal! (Both on TV and board game) and Identity (TV) that I kept forgetting. I got to spend a good amount of time with my brother, and my parents. And my favorite night may have been the night when my mom and dad and I got dressed up and went out for a drink at a local hotel and then went to a nice dinner. I've posted a few pics of that night for you.
I hope your new year is starting out right and that you are enjoying what 2007 is bringing you.
Thanks for your friendship and support! Love, Tiffani
