Hello All!

Boy, do I just continue to get busier and busier!  What have I been up to lately?  Well, for a quick overview...

I WENT HOME for Easter!  It was so much fun!  My little brother was in a play and my sister and I surprised him by going home!  I love all of my family and friends there, but I love how I am establishing an independent life here!  And, like I said, a busy one at that!  When I got back, I hit the ground running.

Right before Easter I interviewed for an RHA Executive position and GOT IT!  I am now the Director of Communications.  This means that I get to keep in contact with schools on a national level!  I'm so excited to start!  I have already began transitioning with my predecessor and attending meetings and such.  One of the perks of earning such a position is that I got to be one of the first people to choose my room for next year!  

I will be in a wonderful room in the Vistas with an amazing view!  Boy, and I pumped!  I will finally have a kitchen!  I signed up with a roommate that I know from my hallway (and my RHA board this year) and we signed to have 2 random people live with us.  And, what do you know, one of our friends took the other spot!  Now I am even more excited, because I know that we will all be able to chip in and decorate however we want!  I already have this vision of framing magazine pictures of our favorite actors and comedians to look like art!  We have so many ideas, and the anxiety is taking over!

This past week, in addition to the celebration of my 19th birthday at Disneyland, my sorority held our annual Mr. University man pageant!  It was a fundraiser for our philanthropy, C.A.S.A., and we raised more money than EVER before...$21,000+!!!  For a week, it was hard work being on the decorations committee!  A couple of us got together and cranked out a FREE-HANDED backdrop in 2 loooong nights, and then, on the day of the pageant, I worked with a couple other ladies from 2:30 until showtime (at 8) on the decorations in the venue (which mainly consisted of balloons...hundreds of balloons.  I made my first balloon arch, and by the beginning of the show, my fingers were swollen and bleeding from tying so many of them, o the things I do for my ladies...).  Like I said, it was a success, and it was so much fun!

Ending the rough-n-tough week was a dance Friday night called stoplight (so much fun!).  I got to take 2 of my best friends and we danced the night away!  So far, I think it was the best DJ yet, which added to my happiness!  And tonight, after visiting with my uncle from out of town today and taking a nap with some of my friends on the lawn, I watched the Office with my sister and then a few of us went on an adventure to the new Sonic about 20 minutes away.  What a way to end a hectic week!  A laid back night is just what I needed!

This next month is not going to slow down...but I'm ready!  I will keep you posted!

All my love!
