Ok ok, I knew I would have a tough time with this blog thing. Quite a bit has happened since I last wrote. I’ll start with the thing I was most looking forward to- moving!!
Yes I have finally moved into the new townhouse and I could not be happier. I would post some pictures but I will wait until everything is PERFECT! Mom, dad, and Brita’s parents loaded up a huge U-Haul with all our furniture and drove up on Friday the 5th. We spent hours unloading and days organizing. If I’m perfectly honest, I’m still organizing. Shocking right? My grandma made her way to Gainesville as well along with some cousins to see the new place and spend some time with us! Brita and I are still debating a few decorative touches because we are yet to have our couch covers. Brita’s mom offered to dye them and I can’t wait to see the outcome!
My room is coming along nicely, and I love, love, love it, mostly because my bed faces my oversized closet. Some people prefer to wake up to a view… what can I say I like my clothes. James loves to point out how ridiculous my closet and all of its contents are but then, he is a man and what does he know about the importance of such things? I can also see all of my neatly organized shoes from my bed as well. Ah. I’m looking at them now. Ok they are distracting me.
Other than the excitement of the new apartment, I spent the last two weeks trying to focus on Dazzlers and Zeta. Our 2011-2012 squad is so amazing! All of the new Dazzlers are wonderfully talented and are so much fun to be around. Our two weeks of two-a-day practices practically flew by because they were actually fun! On top of Dazzlers, I’ve been spending a lot of time at the Zeta Tau Alpha house for recruitment. Today is actually bid day but the festivities do not begin until about 7 pm. I am anticipating a very large and very awesome pledge class. We had so many great girls come through I can’t imagine a bad PC’11.
In addition to all of the above, class began yesterday. I don’t know how prepared I am to start the great balancing act that is my “normal” college life once again. I have to admit I am pretty excited for most of my classes. Today I sat through my first Construction Contracts lesson. The teacher began by asking everyone in the class to write their names in bold print in the center of the paper, followed by the date and a signature. At the bottom of the page he instructed us to write “+10” and hand them in. I think he must have given back at least 8 papers claiming they were incorrect, mine included. I believe the point of this exercise was to demonstrate that contracts need to be followed exactly, with no more or no less than what they request. This was an interesting way to begin the class but I’ve got to say I think it is going to be a great one!
Well, that’s all for now but hopefully I can manage to write again without so much delay.
Your closet...
