Wow. It's kinda been a while since i posted anything. But don't worry. I'll hopefully be posting every day this week because guess what; I'M DONE WITH FRESHMAN YEAR AND OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! If you couldn't tell, i'm a little excited. (: Mom and Zac got to town last night and we packed up and moved me out of Miller 316 for good. We spent the day in Zoo Town, walking around, saw the Avengers, ate at el cazador and got my last big dipper ice cream until next semester. We'll leave Missoula on Sunday after Papa gets here but after that, we will road trip our way back to California. We plan to stop at Yellowstone, Craters of the Moon, Twin Falls Idaho and possibly Reno. It will be a nice trip, and a nice end to a good semester.
Let's reflect a little bit on the last few weeks.
Everything with Theta is very good. Initiation was a few weeks ago, then we had our Senior Games/Senior Function and finally our final meeting. Kate Akin, my grand big, was sworn into office as president. I am so so proud of her. I know she has wanted this position forever and was very upset at the beginning of the semester when she did not get voted in. However, this goes to show that things that are meant to be will be. Unfortunately, we are losing a number of girls after this semester. :( Nine I believe. There has been a large conflict with room contacts and such, causing about 5 girls to be terminated from their memberships. Additionally, we have 3 girls transferring and 1 that can no longer afford it. :( It's very upsetting because a lot of it was unnecessary and I will miss the girls very much, but there really wasn't anything I could do about it so I'm not stressing too much. I will especially miss the girls that are transferring because I won't get to see them during the year unless they come to visit. We also have seven seniors either graduating or going into alumni status. I'm sure the ones that will still be in school will still be around the house often, but those that are graduating tomorrow will be off living the next chapter of their lives. I am so proud of all of them. At the wills during senior week, Erika B. willed me a mirror with a lion on it for the lion family, Katie M. willed me a "Greek is Good" travel coffee mug, and Trina S. willed me her 2011 recruitment letters. :D Also, during cookie shine, Jenny M. was expressing her pride in pc '11 and saying how she sees so much potential in us, which already warmed my heart, but then she proceeded to explain that she is most proud of Shanna and I because she can see how much we embody Theta in our lives and how much we represent it. I think I actually cried. It meant so much to me that someone noticed how much I really do love Theta and how much further it has brought me this year. Without Theta, my freshman year definitely would have been different and I have absolutely no idea what I would do without it.
The last few weeks of school were tough, but I made it through!! I got a job for next semester at the Think Tank so that will be very fun and interesting. I've never made coffee and I'm very excited to learn how. I spent my whole last week in the library and that was probably harder than the finals themselves! I have never spent that much time in there and I really hope I never do again (even though I know that's how all finals weeks will be:)) I think (HOPE) i got an A in developmental psych, a B in science and probably a C in history. And no credit in math, but that doesn't really count. :) But I'm done and that's all that matters.
Freshman year, you were great. I will never see you again, but I'm okay with that. I may or may not write and keep in touch. Probably not though.. I hope you don't miss me too much. (:
Until next time, love with all your heart and don't let anything stand in your way. <3
