march 30

met with abby. went to yoga. it was a really, really nice day so spent some time just sitting outside and enjoying the weather.  i went to zumba with amy and then went to cru. the leadership team had just gotten back from their weekend retreat. they wanted us to focus on prayer more so we spent the meeting breaking up into groups and praying for different things. one of the songs that we sang was 'how deep the father's love' which made me think of when we sang it on project at church and the woman stopped us because we weren't singing it the way she had practiced. haha.

march 28

palm sunday! went to the journey and where they had an amazing service and worship and communion. after that went to panera with kelly for lunch. mmm. :) then a bunch of us went to bruce and becky's to craft. i wasn't really in a crafty mood so i painted a canvas, but only half finished it, i'll pick it back up when i get some inspiration. i just wanted to go and hang out. came back to campus to help with the phi mu dinner for the kappa sigma's. they won our philanthropy event contest, hoopapaluza, so we made them dinner. hung out there for awhile then came back to my apartment. balls and i were just hanging out watching tv when we started getting all of these crazy tornado warnings and advisory's. then the school's alarm thing went off (which it's good to know that it actually works because i had never heard it before). apparently all of the other residence halls were made to sit in the hall, but no one cares about 6th street so balls and i just sat in the living room with the blinds up watching the storm. we were tracking it on her computer and felt as if we weren't in any real danger. five tornadoes touched down in high point though! we're so lucky that nothing hit campus because a lot of the surrounding streets were hit. now we're just in a flood and severe thunderstorm watch.

saturday was absoutley crazy, but good all at once. i had to work early registration so i was up at 5:30 and at work by 6:30. worked until 1 and then dashed to get changed and meet up with jen and her mom to go apartment hunting. went apartment hunting with them which ended up being very successful! jen and i are going to be living in the laurel bluff townhomes! we got an amazing deal and a free washer and dryer! i'm soooo excited!!! it was the most adult thing that i've done in my life so far. after that was taken care of i had to rush and change and go to initiation. yay new sisters! after initiation my fam and i went to sheetz then came back to my apartment to harass sarah ball. amy stayed and we watched planet earth. by the end i was exhausted, but it was such a good day!

fridayyy! i was so ready for the weekend! friday night we had candle light which is one of phi mu's traditions. basically we all stand in a circle and as we light our candle we talk about our favorite memory, what phi mu means to us, and seniors leave a wish for the chapter. drum roll please.......

i cried. leah stinkin wilson made me cry. i honestly didn't think i was going to cry, but leah just has that effect on people, even me. so yes, i do have tear ducts, shocker, i know. afterwards we all went to carolina diner because it's another tradition. this is my family minus amelia because she was on a college life retreat. i <3 them!

thursday not many exciting things happened. i had to work on my rough draft for senior sem most of the night and took a break for a carnation committee meeting. i did get becca and will's wedding invitation in the mail which was extremely exciting! i can't wait for them to be married! i just need to figure out how i'm getting to indiana.

oooh wednesday. first off it was a beautiful day! the weather was amazing! after classes i laid outside for a little with a few of my sisters, then i had to go to the chapel music festival. the music was really good and i was extremely impressed with the groups that sang. after chapel i spent the night in the uc learning commons working on my senior sem rough draft that was due friday. however, i quickly lost motivation and spent about 20 minutes making a playlist titled "senior sem blues." i get a.d.d. pretty quickly when it comes to homework...

march 23

so i failed at going to zumba in the morning because i had turned my alarm off in my sleep, but i managed to make it to yoga. i worked phonathon again because wednesday i had to go to the chapel music festival for ids. after work i was up until about 1:30 am working on a power point presentation for digital photography. my digital artist was mariko mori. some of her stuff is pretty cool and she's one of the most popular artists right now. she reminds me of a mix of andy warhol and salvador dali, which i think is why cherl assigned me to do research on her.

okay so i failed at posting last week, but i did take a picture each day. things were just a little hectic so i fell kinda behind. sorry.

anyways, so monday had class and everything. then i crafted for my grandlittle cat because i was her inspiration sister, which is something special that we do in my sorority the week before initiation. i worked phonathon until 9. that's it i think...

march 21

the 'come and see' service was at the journey this morning, and it was so good. there were so many people there and the worship was amazing. during pastor alan's message people came out and did cardboard testimonies. i almost cried. the fact that those people were so willing to expose themselves like that was unbelievable. it reminded me of project when we stood on the street with our cardboard signs. after church we went out to lunch for bruce's birthday. then later liz let me take pictures of her and her mini cooper for my photography class. i had to do a study of a person. tonight i have so much homework to do. this week's going to be intense.
