Internship for the summer- CHECK!


As of this past week I am the official Gala intern for the Harriman-Jewell Series for this summer until the Gala occurs in late September.  This has been a position that I have always looked up to and desired but never really thought was attainable.  


Well now that's going to be my life for a little while... Here we go!


For a little more information about my favorite job ever (we have a rockin' season next year):


Harriman-Jewell Series Home

Out of balance

There are times in our lives when we feel pulled in all directions ever.  Right now is one of those times for me.

I feel pulled by---

Alpha Delta Pi and my office

Classes and all of the academic responsibilities 

Iglesia  Camino Verdad y Vida

Investing in and building relationships with others

Work and the internship opportunity

Most importantly, I am feeling pulled by a desire for freedom from it all

I desire for a break.  It is time for something to give and this time I don't want it to be me.  

I'm ready for a care-free adventure.

Hello 2012

Hello 2012, nice to meet you!


Here we are ringing in a new year and a new reason to celebrate.

is my sorority's other philanthropy

Also, went to Colorado Springs for Fall Break 
and to the top of Pike's Peak
one off the Bucket List please. Check.


October was an exciting month.


 November: I don't think I did anything to be honest... hence why there are no pictures.  I did get a pinterest account so I think that is where I went wrong.  Truly.  

December: a time for all Greek Christmas parties and being elected President of my sorority


Oh, and Christmas break <3

2012 I'm ready for everything you have to bring.  BRING. IT. ON.  #letsgo

Today as part of my Sunday ritual, I was reading Post Secret and became saddened when I found out the Post Secret app had been closed.  Anyone who knows me will know that I am not one for fancy phones or fancy technology... I mean I yelled at google because it wasn't giving me what I wanted.  I do not need a smart phone.  #letsbereal


However, it saddened me that the app had to be closed due to the actions of the community.  Something meant to cause no harm and only good was destroyed by 1%.  I was disappointed in the people of our community.  

Disappointment can be a powerful emotion sometimes.

  

Until another day then.

"There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love."

-Martin Luther King Jr. 

O Chem

I would say that 90% of the time I like my Organic Chemistry course.  Not in a sarcastic "Oh, yeah this class is great" way but in a I could see myself doing research in this field way.  I love it and find it utterly fascinating 

Right now... is not one of those times.  This is the 10% time.  I went to bed at 2am and have been up since 6:30am all in the hopes to find one article.  One. As in single, by itself, not hard to find, but so hard to find.

Maybe in an hour or so I'll like O Chem again but for now I really hate this class.  That is all I have to say because it is a little after 7am and I have yet to find one article.

  

Nerves

A big part of who I am and where I am going comes from my sorority.  It sounds clique and sorority life lame but it is completely true.  I am a member of Alpha Delta Pi and sometimes I feel as if I bleed blue and white.

Today I am interviewing to be the President of my Chapter and I am incredibly nervous and excited.  After this interview in t-minus 2 hours I will no longer have any control over this situation.  It is in the Chapter's hands and I'm ready to let go.  

Wish me luck because today is the day I've been waiting for for a long time.  

Bucket List

Go to the top of Pikes Peak: Check that off the list.

For Fall Break 2011, Lauren, Trish, and I went to Colorado Springs, Colorado.  It was fantastic and I am so grateful that I was able to have that opportunity.
