I can't believe midterms are already over. That means I only have a semester and a half left until graduation! And hopefully midterms ending will also mean that things will slow down a little bit now.

So far the semester has been hectic but good. I have lots of group projects and student organization meetings...just when I think I have a free moment to sit and relax, something pops up. I do get tired from time to time but life is more interesting this way.

I've had a couple of great experiences so far this semester. The first happened a few weeks ago...I will make a separate post about that soon (when I have more time...I have some pictures I want to include). The second happened this past weekend when the National Society of Collegiate Scholars volunteered for Project Bundle Up. It's a great program that provides money for underpriviledged children to buy winter coats, gloves, boots, etc. There were 16 of us that went and although it was an early morning (we had to be there at 7:15) it was definitely worth getting out of bed for. I was partnered with a little boy named Kevin who had more energy than any other 6-year-old I've met. He was a sweetheart and I was happy to help him stay warm this winter! I definitely hope I can help with this program again in the future...if you are interested in learning more about it or donating, here's a link: http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/station/1003400/detail.html

Tomorrow night is the Halloween dance on campus...I'm pretty anxious to see everyone's costume. I'm not sure what I'm going to wear...I might take the easy way out and just throw on a pair of cat ears or something. Hopefully next time I post I will have lots of pictures!
