Last Week of Summer 2011

Being a pharmacy major is strange. While most of my friends are getting ready to start their last year of classes tomorrow, I'm getting ready to start my 4th year of college, but still have 2 more years after that. It's the feeling of the end, but then at the same time knowing that I'm really only half-way done with school. I think being in a sorority also makes these feelings of it being the last whatever more real. After this year I will be an alum, and not an active member. Enough of my rambling.

Here's a list of the highlights (that I can remember) of this week:

• Moved into exec wing of the house and am now in sun porch
• Got to see all of my sisters that I haven't seen in months
• Had recruitment counselor training all week and am really excited to get my group of women to help guide through the recruitment process
• Hung out at Michelle's apartment
• I was a lifeguard all week at the bell center and also for the football team [also learned that these football men still act like 12 year old's when they're around water, noodles, and kickboards]
• Had some bonding with the recruitment counselors that included: dinner, ice cream, and a scavenger hunt
• Babysat for the Miller's
• Dressed up as Harry Potter and freaked people out in sun porch :)
• Met up with some IV people and started thinking about the school year and planning
• Finished the book Radical [awesome read and I'll probably do a post about it later (maybe?)]
• Went out with some people and had my first experience at one of the campus bars Dublin
• Was a lifeguard at another pool in West Des Moines for their last weekend of being open and also had my first real save as a lifeguard
• Went to the state fair with Sarah and Michelle there:
• we visited Texas
• saw some animals
• I ate butter on a stick, a corn dog, and had a strawberry smoothie
• Michelle got tricked by a high school boy who had her press a laser pointer and the button shocked her
• Sarah rode a ride; then all 3 of us rode another one
• Watched random shows and movies in upper liv

Here are some pics from my second trip to the state fair:
