It's 11:20, do you know where you're children are? Although I'm not sure that my mom would believe it, but I'm still in the lib getting ready for the upcoming week. I have three tests coming up in microeconomics, marketing, and psychology, so I'm defnitely trying to stay on top of my game this week and not fall behind in my preparation..I'm also glad that I have two tests behind me from last week, so I'm sure this week will go fast and another weekend will be here.
This past weekend was awesome- it started off Friday night with my sorority's formal, and I had an awesome time. I lovee getting dressed up and I think my date and I hardly left the dance floor all night. The only bad part of formal was waking up the next morning at 8 am to start to get ready for a charity softball tournament, but that actually turned out being almost just as fun..I was quite impressed with everyone's secret softball skills and even hit a single myself..I think everyone enjoyed themselves, and the best part was it all went to a good cause..
I've also been trying to figure out my schedule for next semester..I'm planning on going abroad second semester of my junior year, so I'm working with my advisor to see how to plan my core and major courses around this. My advisor's been real helpful, and with the possibility of taking a summer class or two this summer, I'm glad I'll be able to take the incredible chance of going abroad for a full semester, and still be right on track with graduation and credit hours. I can't wait!

Happy (Belated) St. Patty's Day!
So I definitely had a mental block and forgot that I had a blog to update for the past two weeks..apologies, apologies! I hope everyone's past few days have gone well!
It's been a little hectic on the Lehigh front for me since I've been back- I was definitely still in vacation mind-frame for the first couple of days...but it was definitely worth it to put my work aside and hear some stories about the breaks and travel experiences of my friends. Why do holidays and weekends just fly on by..
Other than that, it's been the same old same old. My Leadership Lehigh group executed our project, which was an experience in and of itself, and we received lots of interesting feedback while attempting to educate our peers about sexual health in college. I've been busy with work for my sorority, and have prepared two girl scout outtings since we've been back. Although I like working with them, I'm always a little disenheartened by the number of GS who come to the meetings..hopefully tonight's attendance will be better! LU Greek life is also preparing for Greek Week in April (which is a week of fun and games...I'll elaborate once it gets closer!) and accredidation. Accredidation is definitely NOT a week of fun and games, but it's important nonetheless. This is when the school reviews every aspect of our chapter's performance throughout the year, so I've been busy preparing write-ups describing the philanthropy events we've produced and collecting the various service project information our sister's have participated in. It's quite the impressive list!
Tuesday was one of my favoriteee holidays of the year- St. Patty's day! Being Irish (red curly hair and green eyes..yeah...) I enjoy the holiday probably a bit more than the average joe. Although I must say, I did get lots of complements on my silly leprechaun hat and various green necklaces throughout the day... I'm a little sad that it's all said and done, so I'll be keeping my green decorations up in my room for a few more days of st. patrick's day cheer!
Other than that, not too much excitement going on..looking forward to my spring formal in two weeks and our charity softball tournament we have planned..not looking forward to the next round of tests I have coming up, but I've started plugging away at studying so I don't get behind the ball..oh the productivity!

more spring break please!
I am writing from the comforts of my own home after my amazing spring break trip down to Jamaica with three of my closet girls. To summarize, we had fun and then some more.
We arrived in Montego Bay, Jamaica at about 3 in the afternoon, and as soon as we checked into our resort and started exploring, we knew it was going to be a great trip. The hotel was gorgeous- huge, all open-air, and we have a gorgeous oceanfront view from our room and balcony. There were lots of places to relax, get some food and some drinks, and we basically roasted ourselves on the beach for about 8 hours a day.
Despite some sunburn on the first day, we managed to play through the pain and check out all the resorts amenities..we played volleyball, paddle-boated, got massages, went on a Catamaran ride around the island, did some shopping, and made some crazy friends from all over the place who were also staying at the resort. There were also a lot of night-time activities as well so we never went bored once the sun went down.
Over all, the trip was nothing short of great. Minus a small case of food poisoning that I managed to get, there was nothing I would regret from the trip. Now that I'm back home at my house with my parents, I have only a day left till I go back to campus. I'm kind of anxous to get back and catch up with my friends who went to other SB destinations and here all about their trips, but that brings the terrible thought of actually having to start to do WORK again...not quite sure if I'm ready for that..
