WKU PRIDE!

Hello dears!

Ok, I'll admit that I am not much of a basketball fan most of the time, but I can be when it involves team I love. & I LOVE WKU! I am soo very proud of my alma mater and all of the buzz surrounding the game last night! SOO, needless to say, I am super excited about the UK vs WKU game tomorrow night!

Now, I know what you are thinking. . . . "Does she really foolish enough to think WKU has a shot?!" YES I AM! I know it is a long shot, but if anyone could pull off an upset, it is the Hilltoppers! I have full faith that they can do this! GOOOO TOPS! {fingers crossed}

Ok, now that my overly excited about sports side is done, I entered a giveaway on ELLEN's website last night to try to win a trip to Ireland (#1 on my bucket list) . . . . && I REALLY want to win!! {fingers crossed} & speaking of Ireland, I am trying out my first recipe from my Irish Pub Cookbook tomorrow night! Soo excited & hoping everyone likes it!

Well. . . that is about it for now. Stay positive friends!

Oh, Summertime. . .. .

Hi friends!

Alot has changed since the last time I posted! (graduation, going alum, beginning my internship) I am quickly learning that the search for a real world "big girl job" is tough. Luckily, I am interning with the American Cancer Society this summer, so I am not just sitting around wasting time :)

[Sorry this is so short, but I promise a longer, more interesting post will be coming soon!]

Rainy Day Blues

A good rainy day is spent curled up on the couch with a good movie/book, a bowl of soup, and hopefully some good friends to share it with. Sadly, my rainy days are never spent that way. Yesterday, I spent all morning working on my papers for one class. (Ok not so bad to start out, but just wait. . .) When I go to leave, I realize my umbrella is in the back of my roommate's car. She already left for school. (Now, it is getting good) So, I run out to the car and drive to school. Upon arriving, I realize that the papers I spent all morning on are still sitting on the table in my room. Normally, I would take the grief and turn them in late since I was already running late (& the downpour rain!), but this was workshop day. On workshop day, if you do not have your papers, you are counted absent. So, I turn the car around & get the papers. I get out of my car and realize that the bus to the top of the hill is already here. . . so I run. I walked into my class right as it is starting. (Crisis averded) This class got out early so I went and sat in front of my next classroom.(FINALLY things are looking up!) I pull out my book to catch up on the reading I didn't do. My book for this class is a two volume set. Yesterday, we started work in volume b. I had volume a with me. (dum dum dum) So I sat through class without knowing what we were talking about at all. Finally, class is over & the weekend has begun. (no Friday classes! yay!) The only thing seperating me from the joys of a few days without classes is the walk down the hill in the pouring rain without an umbrella. By the time I got to my car, every inch of my body (& my bag) are soaked.

The best thing about my last rainy day, is that it is over! I think Jo Dee Messina describes my feelings best in her song "Bring On the Rain".

Hello, Again. . . .

So, this blog began as a school project for my argument analysis class (hence my serious first post). Recently, I have decided to give this a real chance, though. I am very new to world of blogging, so I am sure the posts will become better through time.

Right now, I am finishing up the first half of my senior year at Western Kentucky University. I am a proud member of Phi Mu Fraternity. I manage to keep busy between sorority stuff, work, Greek Week committee, and Relay for Life committee. I prefer to be busy because it keep me on my toes. When I am not on a strict schedule, I tend to not get anything done. I love my down time, but I just don't have much of it these days. Basically, I am just ready for a break. Thankfully, Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow for me. :)

On the Thanksgiving note, I was just browsing through one of my all time favorite sites TheLoDown.com by Lo Bosworth and stumbled across her article "Avoid Overeating This Turkey Day." I LOVED it. I know I am guilty of overeating all throughout the holiday season and she gives some great tips.

Also, I am soo proud of the Relay committee and everyone else who has helped out with fundraising so far. I proud to say that we won the Division I Collegiate Rivalry Week Challenge! GO WKU!

Well, I guess that is all I have to say for now, but stay tuned :)
