All work & no play
Nov 16, 2009 graduation
Hey Red Wolves!
Did you enjoy Homecoming? I know that I sure enjoyed myself! I didn’t get to all of the activities last week, but the ones I did go to were a blast! I’m having difficulty loading my videos and pictures onto my computer, so when I get them loaded, I’ll make sure to post them!
I’m so thankful that Thanksgiving Break is right around the corner! I am so in need of a break from classes, and I’m sure most of you are in need of a nice break as well. However, the week after Thanksgiving I have 4 projects due! Who thought it would be a great idea to make all the projects due after Thanksgiving? Ugh! Gotta love college!!
The other day, I turned in my Application for Graduation. It feels so weird to officially say that I will be graduating in May of 2010. I really thought that this moment would never come. It’s been a hard road, but I think I’m going to make it! I know that these last weeks of this semester and the Spring semster are going to be hard, but it’ll be all worth it to have an IU degree on May 14, 2010. To all of my fellow Seniors, make sure you know when your application is due! You don’t want to miss out on graduation because “you forgot” to turn in your application!
Well, I need to get off of here and get some work done. I hope all of you have a great week, and as soon as I get my pictures and videos loaded I will post them on here!
HOWL!

The Price is RIGHT!

Happy Thursday Night!
Today was a special day for the Admissions staff & the Ambassadors. We welcomed about 60 guidance counselors from area high schools to participate in IU East’s annual Counselor’s Appreciation Breakfast. During this special event, counselors are treated to a great breakfast, and they are handed scholarship money for their seniors. However, today over 7 million dollars were handed out to the counselors! In fact, each counselor went back to their high schools with over $100,000 (I can’t remember the exact number); which, in turn, will give two deserving students full rides to IU East! I was so ecstatic for our campus to give out a great amount of money to help future Red Wolves pay for their quality college education! 
However, the counselors had to work for their money. In order to get their money, they had to play “The Price is Right” with John Dalton (a.k.a. Bob Barker). John was an excellent host! I think he might have missed his true calling as a game show host! HAHA! Unfortunately, dorky me forgot her camera at home – so I did not get any pictures or video from the event. 
Sorry John…I guess you won’t be the big star in a video this time around. So, if anyone out there has some pictures from the event they would like to share, please contact me and I will get those pictures up ASAP!
I have noticed that as the semester winds down and crunch time settles in, we all have gotten a little grumpy. So, for your viewing pleasure (and entertainment)….please welcome Sherman the Monkey!
HAHA! That gets me every time! I hope it made your day just a little bit brighter!
Well, Red Wolves, I need to get to bed. I have another Ambassador event to work tomorrow morning, and need to get my rest! Please take care of yourselves!
HOWL!

Update from my part of campus
Nov 5, 2009 Uncategorized
Hey gang!
These past couple of weeks have been terrible for me. After I got home from the cruise, my dog Peyton hurt his back leg. I took him to the vet, and the vet said that he tore his ACL and would need surgery to fix his leg. That really got to me because Peyton is my baby and it was going to cost $12oo for the surgery. Fortunately, I’m going to get a second opinion from another doctor before going ahead with the surgery. Then, to make matters worse, I was sick the day of my Vietnam midterm! I had to reschedule it last Wednesday! I was really upset about missing my exam because that’s the first time I have ever missed an exam in my college career!
On a positive note, I had a fabulous time on the cruise! Unfortuantely, my memory card for my camera didn’t work so I couldn’t take any video! Boo! However, I did get lots of pictures. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:
I really wish I was back on the cruise ship right now!! We had such a great time! The best part of the entire trip was forgetting about life for 3 days. I just lounged around, ate, had a few drinks, and forgot about the world.
This semester is flying by so fast! I can’t believe that Thanksgiving Break is in 2 weeks. It’s going to be a busy 2 weeks as well. I’ve got a couple projects due and a handful of papers due all before the break! Will it ever end?!?!
Well gang, I better get off of here.
Have a great weekend, and I will keep you updated!
HOWL!
