I was reminded recently that my blog was "looking a little dry." So, I figured I should actually share what I have been up to for the past two months! That's right TWO MONTHS! That is a loooonnng time to not write a post on your blog. Oopsies! Anyway, right now I am in Delaware, OH at Ohio Wesleyan University! We just wrapped up recruitment and will be celebrating Bid Day tomorrow night! The girls did great and it was so much fun to get to hang out at a fellow ELC Hilary's chapter for a couple of days. The ladies here are so unique and really know how to be themselves. It's been such a fun visit, I hardly feel like I"m working!
I will by at OWU until Tuesday morning then I head to Canada Eh! That's right our neighbors to the north have four Kappa Alpha Theta chapters. Things I'm excited for in Canada...
1. the words hOUse, OUt, abOUt, Clique, and tea towel...
2. foreign candy that I better not take over the border or I'll probably won't be let back into the US
3. Going through customs for the first time. I seriously have no idea what I'm doing and am hoping I don't get so nervous that I accidentaly tell the Custom's Agent that I'm in the business of producing bombs.
4. Eh. Need I say more.
Things I'm NOT excited for...
1. Shutting my phone OFF, that's right O-F-F, not just silented...OFF. Once I cross the border I will not have access to my fifth appendage. Did you know that if you don't have an international phone plan that text messages are $1 each...received and sent!Phone calls are $1 per minute! This means today alone, I would already be about $141 dollars down just for today. So, my friends, I will be only communicating via email. I might actually have to buy a phone card! I don't think I've done that since 1999.
Anyway, it will be an adventure that I'm looking forward to. So I bet you are wondering what on earth I have been up to for the last 2 months? Here's a quick synopsis since November 4th...
- November 8-12 I was at Michigan State, which was pretty cool. I liked it. I saw their hockey arena...it is sooooo not The Ralph.
- November 12-16 I was at the University of Wisconsin. Highlights~ The house is ON the lake, sweet view. I went to my first Big Ten football game! It was a TON of fun. I think the girls were a little embarrassed by the ruckousness (is that a word?) of the student section (the students start tailgating at 10 a.m.) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It brought me back to my good 'ol college days. Ha!
- November 16-20. I went back to the University of Delaware for round two. Highlights~ I tried a latte at every coffee shop on Main Street...true story.
- November 20-25 I was home packing for Las Vegas
- November 25-30 Las Vegas w/ the fam for Thanksgiving. Highlights~ Too many to list, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
- November 30-December 5 I was at Allegheny College in Meadsville, PA. Highlights~Cheese dip at the Mexican restaurant...soooo yummy. I stayed at my first Bed and Breakfast ever. I don't know if I necessarily liked feeling like I was renting out a room in someone's house, it was kind of weird. But my bed was soooo comfortable. I seriously could not drag myself out of bed.
- December 5 - 9 I was at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. Highlights~ the school's colors were orange and black (Go Cowboys?) and I met the college's president who used to be the president at UND. We bonded.
- December 9-12 All of the ELCs went back to Indianapolis for our end of the semester wrap-up meeting. Highlights~ We visited the Alpha chapter and saw Bettie Locke Hamilton's grave. BLH is the founder of Theta. It was pretty cool!
- December 12-14 Whitney and I visited Lauren in Chicago!!!! It was sooo fun! Highlights~ Shopping on Michigan Ave, Seeing my first ballet ever (the Nutcracker), making candy, seeing The BEAN and Millennium Park, and taking a picture with Elmo.
- December 14-January 14 HOME SWEET HOME. Highlights~ Being stranded with mom and dad in Killdeer during a two day Christmas blizzard, making snow angels in the blizzard drifts with mom, hanging with friends from home, going to a wedding shower and baby shower all in one weekend, Christmas (my fave holiday!), Christmas with the Sturn's (always a good time), game night with my rents and Cindy, doing my Jillian Michaels workout DVD with my dad (He officially thinks she's a bitch because he has never been so tired in his life) and sooooo much more. I had an awesome break and was honestly sad to have to leave. I'm such a baby when I have to leave my family. Yes, I cried, like always, you'd think I would get better.
So, here's my New Year's Resolution: I'm going to write on my blog once a week. That's right one time...per week. See you next week! I'll be either in Canada (eh!) or at Yale (they're smart, shoot.).
Later friends,
Lyss
