Soooooo,

This past week I have been so swamped with homework. It's making my head spin. For instance, I'm starting to confuse my schedule. Have you ever done that before? In retrospect, it's actually pretty funny.

I do have to say though that I am enjoying what I am learning, and therefore even though I'm stressed about deadlines and all that jazz I can appreciate the goodness of the work. Shhh, don't tell my professors. HAHA! One of the coolest things about school is when the material you are learning in your classes overlap or if you can make the correlations on your own. I LOVE when that happens in my class. Or it's also pretty sweet when you can apply what you learn in your class lectures to your everday life. I'm taking this Political Science course called Ancient and Medieval Political Thought (with Dr. Hammons, one of my FAVORITE professors here at HBU--and no, that's not for extra credit just in case he's reading this...he's actually really legit), but anyway we discuss about how the Ancient Greeks viewed politics and life and I can honestly say that the things I learn in that class I examine my own life with. My friend Christa and I will be talking about random things--boys, work, shopping, whatever...and somehow we find ourselves applying what we learned in Dr. Hammons lectures. It's funny. We catch ourselves saying "it's like Dr. Hammons said in class today.." LOL.

Does that make me a huge nerd? Frankly, I don't care :) The whole point of school is to learn and if I'm loving it...isn't that even more towards my benefit??

That's what I thought. ;) Keep up the good work, strive for excellence, and I hope to see you at HBU one day!!

Make it a great week!!

Yesterday I went to the HBU Women's soccer game. We played Texas Women's University and won!! (2-0) The girls played sooo well! It was awesome to see such great effort...ya'll are lookin good this year ladies! ;) We finally have new bleachers up so it was cool to sit in those and watch the game in them. I'm not gonna lie though, I do kind of miss being right on the edge of the field in the action of the game. We have lights at the soccer field now too!! I'm sooo excited for night games! Those are gonna be amazing!! :) :) I'm really proud of the way the team played yesterday. I'm so proud to be a HUSKY!

So anyway this weekend i have a TON of hw! Expect me to be studying my life away!! LOL

Have a great weekend all!!

I gotta feeling, Alpha Chi's gonna be a good time!!! :) This past week we had Recruitment for the sororties here on campus. We now officially have 36 new members of Alpha Chi Omega!!! Ahhhhh I am soooo stinking excited!!!! We had our parties for the girls to attend, and we had a blast!! The first night was the red and green party, and then we had a Western party. Those were the BESTTT!!!! Our pref party was beautiful and I think that girls really enjoyed it. I'm not gonna lie though, I was really sad for Recruitment to end. It's my Senior year and I'm sad that it's going to be over soon!

All in all though, it was the best week of school so far! Shout out to all my new sistersss! I love seeing all these wonderful A-Chi-O girls around campus!! Woot Woot

Here are a few pics of the fabulousness!

Hello World!! :)

It's so great to be back at school!! Seo much has happened since then!! It's going to be an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G year, and I am so super excited!!! :)

So this past Friday, one of the fraternities here on campus, Alpha Pi Kappa (A Pi K) hosted their annual party, Third Coast. It's a place with a TON of sand volleyball courts, and A Pi K always rents a few and invites everyone from HBU out for food and fun! This last weekend, several sisters and I went to hang out and we had a BLAST! We played volleyball (obviously, ha), ate good food, and had a wonderful time of fellowship with some pretty cool people.

It's awesome because alot of the A Pi K alums come and show support, and hang out and play as well. It's always so good to see HBU family still connected even when they've gone and graduated. (That's gonna be me soon!!! *TEAR*)

Just so yall know some guys were talking trash about how they were going to beat us (Aaron Bridwell *cough, cough*), but we showed them what was up! ;) Haha it was so much fun!!! To everyone who missed out, you BETTER be there next year!!!! :D

Here's a couple pics of me and the girls all sandied up after Third Coast was over.

Anyways make it a great week!! Get involved, and don't miss an opportunity to make new friends!

Peace Out
