Football!

So football this weekend was amazing for me.  I went home this weekend, so Friday I went to my boyfriend's sister's high school football game, it was their homecoming (Center Grove) so it was cool to see all of the floats in the parade, they actually did a good job.  They ended up winning their game by a lot.  Then Sunday all of my teams won! COLTS, VIKINGS, and TITANS! :) yeah, my boyfriend gets mad at me that I am a Tennessee fan, but I love my Vince Young...I have since he played at Texas! So I was excited to see all of that happen.
So besides watching football all weekend, which I love!, me and my boyfriend both had a lot of homework to work on, so I tried to get some of that done.  I have an idea for my play I have to write in Theater 100 I think, and tonight I have to put together my ideas that I've been collecting for my informative speech about Taylor Swift! :) Oh, and on Sunday I took a quiz for Theater on InQsit about a play we read called The Nerd, and I got a 100% so that was exciting!
But I'm off to go to dinner with some girls from my sorority. I will see you all in class tomorrow! have a good night!

Homework, Homework, and more Homework

So this week has been crazy busy....I feel like all I've done is do homework, and go to sorority stuff. I was super nervous for my first test on Monday in my History 150 class....but we got it back on Wednesday and I got a 96% so that was exciting! :) Then I've been writing my paper for english, finding a topic for an informative speech, typing up a survey for my speech and starting the outline....reading a play for theater....trying to start writing a play for theater (thats a joke!) and now I found out that I have to go for my speech on Tuesday, I'm one of the first people, and I haven't even started writing it yet. Anyways, I'm going home this weekend, and there's a bunch of things planned for that. So that will be fun. Especially added on with all of my extra homework for this week coming up. Oh well.

Funny Story of the day-- I had a ticket to go to the Angels of America play tonight (i have to go for my theater class) It started at 7:30, so i started walking about 7:15 to get there....I get all the way to Emen's auditorium, the doors are locked.  I realize that it is in a different place and I had no where to go! and by this time it was 7:28 so I just gave up and didn't go. But now I have to get a ticket for next week and find time to go again! ugh! :(

Everyone have a great weekend!!

My Weekend!

So this weekend my boyfriend came up to visit, again! I absolutely hate being away from him, so we've tried to set up a schedule of him coming up, or me coming down every weekend. but it's going to start being hard with all of my sorority stuff keeping me busy. My roommate's birthday was Saturday (yesterday), so my boyfriend and I bought her a cake and balloons on friday night, and then surprised her saturday morning with them! then i planned a surprise dinner with a bunch of our friends at Ruby Tuesdays (she thought it was just me and him taking her out) and when we got there they were all sititng at the table and she was so excited! So that was awesome.  Then my boyfriend left today, which sucked.  But I think I'm going to go home next weekend because I have errands to run anyways. Oh yeah, so my first Informal Chapter for Kappa Delta is tonight. I'm pretty excited to figure out what it is all about. And we're going to order Air Jam tickets and our Homecoming tshirts. So that'll be awesome. Then at 8:30 I have a study session for my History 150 exam on Monday morning....i'm so nervous! I am awful at history, and I can't understand my professor anyways.  This is my first real exam since I've been here on campus, so I am extra nervous for that too.  Then I have quizzes, papers, and speech stuff due all this week, it'll be a VERY busy week for me. But oh well, I have to get ready! hope everyone had a good weekend! :)

First Week as a KD baby!

So after the Bid Day party on Monday (we got new shirts, bags, car decals, and other good stuff) we had to wear our Bid Day shirts on campus for Tuesday....they said that usually you'll get the older girls yelling at you from across the street or whatever, but lucky me, I ran into no one on Tuesday so I had no one yelling at me.  However, I was eating by myself on Tuesday in the Atrium before my last class, and I had another KD baby come sit with me! Her name is Kate, and it was so nice to get to know her! and then after awhile an older KD came and sat with us! So that was fun, I went from eating lunch alone to having 2 of my sisters with me! So that was definitely a cool experience.  Then Tuesday night we had our First Degree experience as a KD, which was also known as a "pinning".  We signed our pledge to the sorority, and did some other fun stuff! I'm already excited about this whole sorority thing, and I am really glad I decided to join.  My sisters are all amazing!! :)
Oh, and we already have gotten the news about our first Informal Dance on October 2nd, we find out the theme later, but I am sooooo excited about that! :)

KAPPA DELTA! :)

So since Thursday my days have been long, crazy, exhausting, but absolutely amazing! I have been going through sorority recruitment, crazy I know! I never thought I would be in a sorority, and if you asked me while I was in high school, I thought it was the stupidest thing ever.  But since I've been here at Ball State, I've never been happier.  Kappa Delta is my new home, my new life, and my new family! I love all of the girls to death! And Bid Day today was more than I could ever ask for! Tomorrow is our first ritual, and I am going shopping after classes with my beautiful white rose, Chelsea! I absolutely love her to death! She is phenomenal.  This sorority thing just gets better every day. 

And my family is excited for me, which is amazing.  My mom was surprised when I told her that I was rushing, but now she is happy for me.  My sister is Greek so she was the one that talked me into rushing, and I am so glad that I listened to her. She has already sent me a package in the mail today, she called to tell me! :)
I cannot wait to get my new life started with all of my new sisters! :)

Going Home....

So this is college, the whole point is to learn to live on your own, right? So why do so many people go home every weekend? I expected the weekends to be just as busy with people, always doing fun things, and meeting new friends.  Most of my friends have gone home every weekend since we have been here.  What is the point of going to college if you're just going to run home every weekend? That is not growing up to me.  I'm only 1.5 hours away from my hometown, my boyfriend, and some of my really good friends.  Yes, don't get me wrong, I would love to go home and spend time with them a lot, but I believe that college is learning to live without those things, and finding out more about yourself.  I've been going through Greek recruitment these past 2 nights, and the next 3 to come, and I have absolutely loved it so far.  I want to form a relationship with girls that will always be there for me, instead of girls that want to go home to their old lives every weekend.  My roommate is from Michigan, so she doesn't have the option of going home every weekend, and I think it has helped her to have more fun here on campus.  I went home two weeks ago, but it wasn't just because I missed home, which I did, it was to go to a concert that I have had planned since the beginning of summer.  I'm not saying that I'm never going to come home, I can't be away from my boyfriend that long! But I'm just saying that I don't understand why girls/guys want to go home every single weekend? It's a waste of gas if not anything else!

Labor Day weekend!

Since I went home last weekend, my boyfriend came up to visit this weekend.  He got up here about 2:30 on Friday and he took me to pick up my car from the fairgrounds, and then we dropped my car back off at the stadium.  Since he can't park anywhere until 5, we decided to go to the Muncie mall and check it out. I ended up buying a couple things, and other than that we just shopped around and wasted time.  A few of my friends were leaving to go home, so we met up with them and had dinner at the Atrium before they left.  Then a few of my guy friends from high school that go to BSU, came up to my room and hung out with me and my boyfriend because they wanted to see him.  Saturday, we woke up early and went to breakfast with my guy friends again before they left to go home.  Then my boyfriend drove me to Walmart to pick up some stuff (I spent $50!) and we came back here and walked around campus.  It was so weird walking around campus and realizing how deserted it was.  You could tell it was a holiday weekend and that everyone had gone home.  Well my roommate, my boyfriend, and I all wanted to go to dinner, but we realized after we walked to every place that they all closed at 7:30 so we were too late.  The nasty store in the bottom of Lafollette was open until 8, so we picked up some snacks there and just came back to our room and ate.  Sunday, my boyfriend and I drove to downtown Indy to go to the Rib Fest and watch a band that my mom manages in her spare time.  It was really fun! Overall, my weekend was great! It was good to spend time with my boyfriend, especially when it is hard to have him gone all of the time.  I hope everyone else had a great holiday weekend! Now I am off to do more homework....ugh!

Football Game!

So Thursday night me and 3 of my new girl friends went to the first BSU football game! I had class until 3:50 and tailgating started at 4, so after class I went to get ready with my awesome roommate and then we met with the other girls! The game was actually really fun, the guys played really well! and we met a few new people so that was good.  After the game we went to one of our dorms and watched a movie and tried to learn how to jerk and do the dougie! haha! :)
So this week in English we had an assignment to write a This I Believe essay....I had trouble at first trying to find a topic that I felt strongly enough about to write 4 pages.  After a while of brainstorming and deciding if I wanted to share the topic with everyone, I picked a topic that was really close to my heart, domestic violence awareness.  It means a lot to me and I believe that it is important to be aware of the signs and cautions of domestic violence. 
This week has been busy with homework and activities so it was hard to get used to. But the whole point of college is learning to have good time management skills, which is something I definitely need to work on.  I've had a huge study guide for history to work on, and we're getting another one next week, along with English and Business documents to type up.  Also, we got our first speech assignment in speech class.  We have to do a demonstrative speech, so I decided to do it on the Webfood that we have here on campus, where we can order food in advance on the internet and have it ready for pick up when you don't have enough time to stand in the ridiculous long lines during lunch/dinner time.  It is actually a pretty cool feature that I've used a few times.
Well I'm watching Tommy Boy right now! The best movie in the world, so I'm going to get back to that and laundry and dishes....busy night tonight! And tomorrow I'm going to Rib Fest downtown!
