Argument

So as always, my family argues about football. We watched the games on Thanksgiving and my cousins are huge Dallas fans, but my Aunt Judy is a Saints fan because of Drew Brees. So of course, they argued about who was going to win, why their team is better. And so my cousins bring in the logos of how Dallas has always been a good team, they always play on Thanksgiving, and just that they're a better team. So my aunt argues back with the superbowl champs for the Saints comeback. Little did they know, pathos was a big part of their argument because they were using their emotional attachment to the team to argue back and forth of why they're better. If their emotions weren't tied into the team then they wouldn't be cheering for them anyways.

Basically my family is crazy about football; always has been. So the arguments will continue.

Black Friday!

So Thanksgiving was great! I had forgotten how good food could actually be when my mom makes it! :) haha. and then after Thanksgiving with my family I went to my boyfriend's house and hung out with his family and played cards while we planned our Black Friday events. (Yes I'm one of the crazy people that stand in line for hours and fight for things!) Me and my boyfriend's plan was to go to Target and get 2 tvs for his parents. We got in line at 1:30 and they didn't open until 4. We were there 2 1/2 hours early and there was still about 100 people in front of us. We were talking to people and they said they had been there since 10 pm Thursday night! and they all brought tents and everything! it was crazy!
I hope everyone had a great break! :) and lets get these finals over with!

Weekend!

So International Girls Day went really well! We had a lot of fun hanging out with the girls; and some of our sisters got on stage and talked about their majors and the struggles they went through to get there. Then we went over advertisements in the media and how they don't show "real" women. So that was pretty cool to be able to talk to little girls and help boost up their confidence. After that on Friday night I drove home because I had a wedding to go to with my boyfriend on Saturday. So Saturday during the day I played COD: Black Ops with my boyfriend all day long; it was so much fun! I've always wanted to be better at it and I felt like I was getting better after the weekend. Well I'm going home tomorrow after my classes; and I am so excited! So I hope everyone has a great week! :)

International Girls Day!

So Kappa Delta is the only sorority on campus to have international holidays. They actually just became international in the past year; so it means a lot to us! We have International Women's Friendship Month; to celebrate confidence in women around the world. and we also have International Girl's Day. The Girl Scouts of the USA are one of our philanthropies so tonight we are celebrating International Girl's Day with over 75 girl scout troops in the art museum! I am SOOO excited! It is going to be so much fun! We are having the event from 5:30-8 tonight and we are doing crafts and each girl is dressing up as what they want to be when they get older; including us sisters. I am so excited to be able to help give these young girls confidence that they can instill in themselves when they're young so that it is easier for them as they grow to adults.
Hope everyone has a good weekend! I'm so excited for break! :)

Frozen.

I'm taking Theater 100 for my fine arts credit; and as a part of that class we have to see 4 of the theater productions done this semester. Sunday afternoon I saw Frozen with my boyfriend (he came up for the weekend). and I was really disappointed in the story line. The acting was phenomenal, and even kinda scary how good it was because it was about a serial killer. The play was mostly a bunch of monologues put together rather than having interactions between the characters. Most of the time I just felt like the actors were speaking to the audience rather than between themselves. So all in all, I was kinda disappointed that the one play I brought my boyfriend with me was kind of a let down; because the other 3 plays I saw this semester were really good (Angels in America, Almost Maine, and Company).

Hope everyone had a good weekend! :)

Twister Tournament!

So tonight Kappa Delta had our annual Twister Tournament. We have it every year as one of our philanthropy events to raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association. One of our sisters, Lindsey Arnold, died in 2004 from a brain tumor; so we have done it ever since. This year it was "pajama theme" so everyone was wearing their cute and crazy pajamas. We even had a team of guys dress as the "bananas in pajamas". I don't know about anyone else; but i LOVED that show when I was younger. but anyways, we had an amazing turn out this year! and it was fun to organize and hold the event with my sisters! Thanks to everyone who showed up and donated! :)

Harry Potter (2 movies or 1?)

Everyone knows the first of the last 2 movies of the Harry Potter series premieres on Friday November 19.  The production company made the decision to split the movie up into 2 separate movies.  What is your opinion on this? Personally, I think that it was a great idea to make it into 2 movies because to be able to have all of the detail of the movie they can cut it up into 2 rather than it being a 5 hour long movie, which no one wants to sit through! :) I cannot wait to see the new movie once it comes out! Is anyone else going at midnight on Thursday to see it? Tickets have been sold out for weeks already! I'm soo excited!

Here is the trailer for the movie! check it out! and leave comments on your opinions!

Show Choir concert

So after my initiation on Saturday morning I drove to Ft Wayne for my boyfriend's sister's show choir concert.  She attends Center Grove high school and she is a member of their Debtones choir.   They're entire show choir is phenomenal and so it was good to actually see one of her shows for the first time.  I went to her "breakfast show" a few weeks ago; but that is kinda of just a practice and it isn't a full show.  It was really cool to see the other schools as well and see a full blown competition.  But I was so tired of the night before (i only got 1.5 hours of sleep) that I was afraid i was going to fall asleep during the competition.  I got there at like 2:00; but the concert had started at like 9 that morning.  and we didn't leave until about 10 that night. and it still wasn't over yet! So I made my boyfriend drive my car back down to Greenwood to his house so that I could take a nap on the way home.  And then Sunday I went to his grandma's house for their family dinner they have once a month; and we did a Christmas drawing for their family Christmas that they have.  Then I had to get back up to Muncie by 7 for my chapter for Kappa Delta; and it was the first one that I actually got to stay during ritual and see what it was since I'm an official sister now! yay! :)

Hope everyone had a good weekend! (sorry this is so late!)

Kappa Delta!

So last Tuesday I had my test for Kappa Delta.  We had to memorize a million things (no joke) and had to take a test over all of it.  We had to memorize paragraphs and everything had to be spelled correctly, punctuation had to be exact; and  I was so nervous! We had to get at least a 90% on the test to be able to be initiated.  After hours of studying, I ended up getting a 73/73 on the test; which was really exciting! Then Friday we had our 2nd degree ritual and then our purity night afterwards.  Purity Night consisted of our pledge class staying the night at the KD house and just hanging out and having fun.  I loved it; and there are 30 of us in our pledge class so it was nice to actually spend time and be able to get to know everyone a lot better.  And the best thing of the weekend:: I GOT INITIATED ON SATURDAY MORNING! :) it was so exciting, so now I'm officially a Kappa Delta Sister.  And now I'm excited to begin my journey as a Kappa Delta.
