Miss me?!?!

So its been a while since I have been on this thing I took a short winter break.  It was kinda nice not to do this everyday so I probably wont do it everyday anymore but I will defiantly update when interesting things happen in my life.
Lets have a short update on my life shall we?
Lets see winter break was amazing!  It was lovely to just be home with the family, train, hang out, and relax.
I came back to school and went right into rush and track.  Rush went well after a horrible 6 day process of standing out in the cold, (WITHOUT JACKETS FOR PART OF THE TIME) our schedules for the day revolving compeletely around rush parties, and being around a lot of stress with girls upset or anxious about their choices.  But after all that is said and done I got the house I wanted from like the beginning of the year and I am proud to say I am a Chi Omega!  This semester has been wonderful so far I have a new group of hundreds of new friends from my sorority some that I am becoming very close to and I love it!  It also has kept me very busy with meetings, dinners, parties, sing song practice, etc. but I wouldnt change it! Next week is Big/ Little where we will get swamped with presesnts all week!  Then next saturday is Victory which is our first formal.   I still do not have a date but I have some ideas just have to go ask.  Might get set up on a blind ish date for it so that would be interesting but if not Ill just take a guy free so you should soon hear about that situation.

Despite all the sorority fun to be had this semester has been crazy.  My class schedule is ridiculous.  I have 5 classes in a row on monday wednesday friday and NONE on tuesday thursday.  I am taking Macroeconomics, Statistics, English, Biology, and Electrical Engineering.  I actually am enjoying all my classes.  Macro is with one of the BEST teachers I think SMU has I had her last semester, she actually makes me interested in economics.  Statistics is math so of course I love it!  But my teacher speaks little english which could be funny and frustrating at the same time.  English is English and I HATE writing papers but it wont be too bad my teacher is preety cool we are studying the importance of humanities courses in higher education.  Biology is biology for non majors so its not terribly hard but obviously the content is difficult but my teacher seems to dumb it down for us pretty well.  Electrical Engineering - now that may sound hard but it is known for being one of the easiest classes at SMU.  I somewhat enjoy it too because its more math YAYY!  Still trying to figure out my minor.  Im sure my major will be something in the Business field like either finance or accounting but I am going to either minor in education or math.  Whichever one I want to be able to get my teaching certificate sometime and be able to have the option of teaching one day I just need to find which minor would best support that dream!

I also feel like I have not been in school much.  For a whole week I had the flu and went home IT WAS MISERABLE.  Im not sure if I had the regular flu or stomach flu to begin with but either way that was terrible.  I also feel like I havnt been in school much because SMU took 4 days off school for snow/ice days.  It was the worst weather Dallas has ever gotten in my lifetime.  It was so cold outside and you could not walk you had to slide.

And the last update is track.  I have started indoor track I competed earlier in the year at Oklahoma University running the 3k but then I got sick but now tomorrow I leave for Iowa for another track meet.  This will be my first track/cross country meet to travel by plane!  I run the 5k on a 300m course which means I will have to run a little less than 17 laps around the track!  Lets hope it goes like clockwork.  My last couple of practices have gone extremely well so hopefully it pays off.  This meet will determine if I qualify for the next meet which is conference USA championships.  My best 5k time is a 19:04 (on cross country terrain)  and my coach told me if I got my time under 19:00 then I have a chance of qualifying.  Im nervous but also determined I hope I can do it!

My smile after my 19:04 PR now lets do it again but since im on a track this time hopefully it will be sub 19!

Now I am off to bed well to watch one episode of greys anatomy (I have a mission to watch all 140 episodes and I have completed about 15 - this is what I did with my snow days).  Tomorrow I have to do a 30 minute run and strides at 7am.  Then come back and shower.  Then have a conference with my english professor at 10 - 11.  Then get on the bus to the airport to go to Iowa at 11.  Crazy busy morning.  

Goodnight, Its good to be back.
