Gah

      Gah, time flies! I can't believe its already five weeks into the spring semester and baseball season has began! I don't know where to begin as its been months since I last blogged. So here is a quick recap... 


     I am back at Ole Miss, still planning on going to nursing school after getting a bachelors in something that is yet to be determined. I am no longer on exec for my sorority, which is different but I am getting used to having more time at nights. Matt & I celebrated our one year anniversary in January. He is currently working with the ROTC cadet's for the week and was with the National Guard last week. With him gone Isla and I have gotten a lot girl time. He did surprise me with tickets to see the Vow for Valentines day. Speaking of Isla she goes to puppy school training next week. The vet said we have a smart pup on our hands and to get her in training to keep her from getting bored. 
     

       Classes are going well, kind of boring. My microbiology class makes me a huge germ freak, all I want to do is clean. I don't understand the point of Principles Theater (or whatever its called) we disuse random thoughts that don't really connect to theater. Community Health is a blast, probs my favorite class. All I want to do is go for a run when I leave, my professor is awesome and makes it so interesting. I am taking a computer class once a night which is super boring, we are learning all of the microsoft programs for a pc, funny enough that I am on a mac. Also once a week I am taking a servesafe class, it is all about how to serve safe foods in different settings. Its actually interesting although I think that is only because I am taking microbiology and we have been taking about food poisoning. 
     I am trying to think of what else has changed although seem to be drawing a blank... Promise this time will blog more frequent. 

Fall Formal

     Because of sicknesses last year this formal was my first. Needless to say it will not be my last! I had a blast! Matt couldn't go so I took one of my best guy friends Scooter! Interesting fact about Scooter is that he can swing dance... need I say more? We danced until I couldn't feel my feet and even some more after that! Needless to say it was a great night and after a trip to Micky D's it is going to be a great morning. I have an A&P test to study for and an over the phone interview with The Limited. I am soo excited, really hoping I get the job for during Thanksgiving and winter break-I have 6 weeks off. I cannot believe the semester is almost over, it is scary to think about how fast time flies.

What a weekend!

Mom and Dad came for the weekend!

On friday night Matt&I drove up to Collierville to have dinner 

We also popped into my cousins football game... 

we cheered for our lil cheerleader

On Saturday they drove down for the game!

What a game! 

I was so proud of my Rebels for it to be a game and not a slaughtering. 

We tailgated with my dad's ROTC buddies, the Theta's and my extended family

That night my parents treated Matt & I to dinner, 

with it being an SEC weekend the square was packed

so instead I chose a small restaurant off the square 

Honey Bee.

 Matt and I had our first date. 

It was a lot of fun.

Me and the parents!

true blue Ole Miss rebels

Mom and me in front of the Theta house!

the ole miss rebels! 

Dinner at Honey Bee! 

Baby Kites!

    We had an awesome recruitment giving us nearly 90 new members! We worked so hard during recruitment, it took countless hours, hundreds of door stacks and more then 20  workshops but it all paid off! Now comes the fun part, getting to know the girls and spoiling them rotten with Theta Love. 

Brittani and I 

Lizzy and I after Pref night

I gave one of two pref speeches needless to say it was a really rough night. Between crying my eyes out because of all the Theta love and being ill/purely exhausted I was a mess. Sadly I went to the Urgent Care instead of bid day but if thats what it takes to get amazing new girls, I'd say its worth it. 

Incase you don't know what a door stack. It takes place after we walk the girls out the door on philanthropy and skit nights we run back to the door and fall in the door way. So the girls see a door frame filled with our faces. The girls in the back fall forward and we sing a door song. I am on the second row from the bottom, it came get very uncomfortable but looks really cool when done properly. Not many other schools do these any more. 

Study Break

Pandora's Glee radio and venti coffee is getting me through the morning. 

I have two a&p chapters done one to go! 

This isn't my first time studying I have been reviewing for awhile. 

(The test is one friday)

Recruitment begins at 2:30 

Pray for me! 

Two words... Recruitment Week. 

I got four hours of sleep last night 

& 

it is only the first day 

I promise a post when I gain my sanity back

No guarantees when that will be. 

Game Day!

I know its about four days late but hang with me while I get my stuff together. 

      The saying we many not win every game but we never lose a tailgate was proven true last weekend. 

I tent hooped pretty much all afternoon, my sorority invested a small fortune on a new tent so it was really exciting to see it! Also we re-did our set up, new stickers, table piece and cups, call me crazy but I love this kind of thing. Matt however didn't understand it so in return we popped over to his fraternity tent. About 100 Hotty Toddy chants and watching the players walk down the Walk of Champions we began the search for my Aunt's set up. It took a little to get their (it is nearly impossible to find anyone in such a mass amount of people) but it is well worth it. Not only did she have the Auburn game on a flatscreen but she had an adorable spread.  

Naturally we took some family pictures! John, my cousin just joined me at Ole Miss this fall. Give it three years his sister Caroline will be an Ole Miss rebel too. I love seeing my family practically every weekend, it really makes Ole Miss my home away from home! 

Not one word about the actual game... I simply don't want to face the fact we lost to BYU 

Keeping My Promise!

     So I know since returning to Ole Miss I have neglected to blog, trust me when I say that is not on purpose. Its been a crazy past few weeks filled with tons of Theta Love, classes and catching up with old friends. It is the second week of classes and I have already turned in two papers and had a quiz. I am currently working on a nutrition impact project which I just so happened to be voted team leader, which is just exactly want I when going through a busy spell. Oh well I will suck it up and hopefully will have help from the group... I am dreaming I know. 
   Anyway being so busy I decided I deserved a treat and Lilly just so happened to be having a sale. So of course I shopped and bought and am in love. I mean honestly the discount alone was enough to love, a $328 dress and I got it for less then $50 (deal of the century? I think yes!!) Besides getting such a deal it is super cute and I already have perfect shoes for it! 

Things I am looking forward to:

-recruitment/new baby kites

- Ole Miss taking on BYU this weekend, Hotty Toddy!!

- a three day weekend 

- taking Isla to the dog park for the first time

- Breakfast for dinner tomorrow night! 

-Volunteering at the Hospital this semester 

-the fact that my lilly planner is full (academically and socially speaking) 

Sorry Sorry Sorry!

I know its been forever since I last blogged! I promise that is not how this year is going to be at least I will try my best to prevent it. This week was truly filled with Theta Love. We have been working all week for recruitment and I can't help but get super excited for our new baby Kites! Living in the house has been awesome, its so easy and I can't wait until I get my meals in the house... I might never leave. It is awesome to be back with all of my sisters! I can't wait until football season.

TLAM

I made it back and finished finals! 

   Indy was A-MAZ-ING! I met so many awesome Thetas, I cannot believe I call them my sisters. My roommate was from out west so we had tons of interesting things to talk about, esp since I have never been to Washington State, it was really cool to hear about her life. Naturally I met up with my Southern gals. The big t shirt and norts guided me to my SEC and Texas sisters. We had so much in common, it was so awesome to hear all about their chapters and got some great ideas to take back to my own. Needless to say I have some amazing sisters and can't wait to be reunited with my own sisters. 

My SEC Sisters!
