I cannot believe that I am half way through this semester already! Time is really flying! School is going well. I just got some of my mid-term grades and everything looks great! Unfortunately, I am so incredibly tired all of the time. Life is just a little too busy right now. Being President of RHA is very time consuming. I love it, but it's much more work then I thought it was going to be. I have so much reading for my classes and so many papers to write. Then there are all of the other organizations that I am a part of and my two jobs. Plus, I just broke up with my boyfriend, so I am in no mood to be happy right now (and I am usually always happy).

Okay--so now that I vented--everything else seems to be going okay. I am so excited for Halloween this coming Friday! I am not sure what I am doing yet, but I know I need to have a fun weekend with my friends to get everything else off of my mind. I am thinking about being Tinker Bell. She is totally my favorite!

Last week the President's Office sent me to a Bonner Leadership Conference in West Virginia. That was a lot of fun! In case you don't know, Bonner is a community service based organization. On Widener's campus it is also called the Presidential Service Corps (PSC). The conference was great! I learned many new ways to do service and met a great deal of people that I hope to see again at future conferences! I have so many ideas of what I want to do on campus and around the community now. I cannot wait to get everything started!

Oh, and the Presidential election is 6 days away!! I am so pumped! I have voted before for mayor, but never President! This is a big deal! Obama was on campus yesterday. While I don't think I am voting for him, it was wonderful to hear him speak and an experience I will never forget!

Okay--must go. Hopefully I'll update again soon.

P.S.- Cannot wait for snow!!!
