Anyhow, the minute school started this semester I really haven't had much time to even breath. From having Greek events, Football Games, Philanthropy's and Work.... I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Just to bring you up to speed..... Last semester I decided to become a Rho Gamma, which is basically a sorority recruitment guide. I disaffiliate from my chapter, Alpha Gamma Delta (for all of you that STILL don't know that), for the whole summer so that at the beginning of Fall semester I can be as unbiased as possible and help all the girls going through recruitment with any questions or advice they be in need of without trying to sway them one way or another on what chapter to join, I was kinda a big deal =]. Talk about having to stop talking to over 50 of your friends just so potential members won't think that you are apart of one particular chapter... on top of pretty much having to stop talking to all other sorority chapters on campus, because I would hate for any potential member that I would love to see in my chapter thinking I am in a different chapter then I really am... if any of that makes sense. Recruitment was at the beginning of October and was a 4 day process, I LOVED it... I was a Group Leader and was in charge of basically 30 girls out of the 214 girls that were going through recruitment. All the girls in my group loved me, but honestly, who doesn't jk. Well needless to say I became very close with the 15 Rho Gammas and we did everything together and now that we are back with our own chapters it has been sad, but we can't help but hang out regularly.
RHO GAMMAS
Now I am back with my chapter and ever since I haven't been able to relax, it has been crazy busy! We had bid day then Homecoming work... window painting competition, building a float (which was AMAZING by the way, although Staford's Fraternity won "Best Float"), putting together a sweet skit for the UNLV 50th Anniversary Variety Show (basically a huge talent show) in which we had to try out to make it into the show to begin with. We did a time line of events from UNLV with a Wizard of Oz twist... it was super cute!
WINDOW PAINTING!
HOMECOMING FLOAT
Now that all that is over you would think I would get a break... but NO! My sorority is super competitive and always have to win EVERY SPORT there is so you know I will be there to support, although they have recruited me to play Dodge Ball and Indoor Soccer... we shall see... I hope they realize they may lose by just having me on the team =[ I'm not a "Super Sporty Squirrel" (squirrels are my sorority animal, FYI). Along with that I took another Little Sister, which she is freaking adorable!
GREEK FAMILY: top row ME (Big Sis/Grandma), middle row (my littles) Jacqueline & Michelle, bottom row (my lil's littles) Leya & Amanda.... I've been around for a long time and my Greek Family is growing, and we are all hot brunettes =]

Well... I bet you are all wondering how I happen to fit 40 hours of work into this crazy schedule, basically I don't sleep... but seriously I am beginning to wonder how I do fit it all in... lets just say my planner is VERY IMPORTANT and I schedule things down to the minute. I LOVE work! So I make sure it fits it! I love working with the kids and making a difference, or at least I think I am making a difference.... just to let you know, if you didn't know what I do, I work for the state with Nevada Early Intervention Services and I work along side a Developmental Specialist and help develop strategies for children 0-3 years of age that may have disabilities or delays. It is a very rewarding job! I definitely see myself working there for a long period of time, who knows?
I hope I have not bored you all to tears.. who ever you all may be that read this book, but thank you anyhow. I have given you a very short history of events in my life to help catch you up... hopefully it worked.
I think I am going to like this blog thing, sometimes it is just nice to vent to people that might actually care...

RECENT PICS OF ME
** I was a hippie for our "time line" homecoming float... this isn't something I would wear on a regular basis, FYI, I just think it's a cool pic!
