oh my goodness!! CONGRATULATIONS!

many thanks ladies :) we are very excited and can't wait for October 27th!

Highs: Being able to average 19-20mph on my road bike.

LOWS: not going to law school this Fall (but I'm hopeful for fall 2006)

First off, ladies, sorry for not being around as much I used to. Grad school as consumed most of my life, but I'm always here if you need me! And yes, I do read all comments coming through the board. :)

Highs: This semester is almost over! Only two more summer sessions, fall, and externships to get through before I have my IU M.A. degree. :) Also, Jeremy was accepted into the IU chemistry Ph.D. program, so he'll be moving here in May. For those of you who don't know, we've been in a long distance relationship for the past 4 years, and finally we're together. Oh, and we've set our wedding date for June 2006. I'll post more when "it's official". :p

My uncle flies in this Wednesday. We're really close but I've only met him 2x in my lifetime. Thursday is the Indiana Speech Hearing convention, and this weekend is going to be one big party. My birthday is on the 28th (ahem? Pi Phi birthday as well!) so I may have a small bday party this weekend.

Lows: I've done something odd to my foot. I don't know exactly what I did, but it's swollen and it hurts to walk. I have a ton of work to do before I leave for the convention/party weekend. Other than that life is good. :)

Low: Greek week is over(I was director) I'm kind of sad about it. I don't have a job lined up for after graduation but its ok.

Highs: Pi Phi placed 2nd overall, got 1st place in greek sing and we didn't have to cheat(j/k). Ever since I've been here we've never done this well. I am so glad to graduate with the chapter having such a high moral.

Graduation is in 3 weeks(2 weeks of school and 1 week of finals. And last night I was awarded the Greek Women of the year. I was so excited and according to people on the selection committee I won it hands down.

And I have a date tonight with a really great guy.

Hopefully this week won't change!

Suzi

:( my father-in-law's oncologist says that he has maybe 2 months left. Until now, we were hoping for the best.

I'm sorry, I can't think of a high right now.

sorry Carnation! :(

Highs : I just finished a 9 page paper that's due on May 2nd!!! I just have one paper left before graduation! :D I get to see the boyfriend tonight and in his words we're going to have "wacky fun time"! (aka. watching lots of episodes of the shield with some cold ones!) Sunday is our founders day luncheon where I become an alumna too! :)

Lows : Only a few more weeks left in the semester and I still have a paper and my departmental honors exam left. I also have to go to class next week in the class that I finished the paper today in. :( I just want free time! Although I need to start studying for the LSAT!

Highs: I only have one more final left. I'm done at 1pm tomorrow and then it's off to the pub to celebrate.

Lows: I am tired and I want to have a nap, but I'm afraid if I have a nap I won't get enough studying time in.

Highs: I have sooo many things I haven't posted lately. But...

A) My senior thesis is done, and defended!!
B) I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin next year to get my Ph.D. in history! I am so excited about the possibility of working with their chapter!
C) I just found out that I am the Epsilon Province winner for the Amy Burnham Onken Award! What an honor! :eek:
D) I graduate in a little over a month!

Lows: I have an awful paper leftover from last term. :( I got a WIP and now I have to finish it up, boo. And I am super-stressed out as usual.

LOL... That should update all the sisters who don't read my LJ. :)

Congrats on grad school and your award! great news!

I found out we're having a little boy so that was pretty exciting!!!

Highs: I am still on a high from my grades I got back. I finished this semester with a 3.5 gpa and a yearly overall of 3.7. I made the honour roll. I had a good May 2-4 weekend (a.k.a Victoria Day long weekend).

Lows: Still no full time summer job, so I don't know how I am to pay tuition for next semester. Hopefully I will hear about a job soon, this law firm says they are interested in me, but I am skeptical.
Also, I have to start a 10 page research paper and post a debate question on my distance ed course website, but I haven't had time to finish the readings I have to base this question on.

P.S Congratulations Speechpath on your new addition.

Highs: Well, I actually got some sleep last night. My bf is finally in the same town as me (after 4 years!), and this Saturday we're meeting with the priest so we can book the church/reception site. (No "official" engagement just yet though. :p ....we're just planning ahead for next summer.)

Lows: I'm extremely overwhelmed with school, and they want me to take on even more clients. Grad school is definitely kicking into high gear this summer!

Also, last weekend I found out that an aunt very close to me has breast cancer. She gets her official test results tomorrow to see if it has spread or if she needs to have a mastectomy. :(

Highs: I graduate in a week and a day, I have a great boyfriend, and an even better sorority!!

Lows: Before I graduate, I must take two exams! :(

low: no idea what I am doing in the next week/month/year

high: I graduated from college!! WOOO!!!

High: going out to eat with my boyfriend tonight.. (its a rarity if we get to see each other during the week), last weekend was my dance recital and that went really well (one of my friends from work came and watched one of the performances even- we do three shows that are about two and a half hours long a piece)

Lows: still trying to figure out my living situation.. waiting on someone else sucks, work is horribly busy due to one of my coworkers getting married in a few weeks so i having to pick up her work basically

Highs: Getting a real adult job less than six weeks after graduation, being able to move to Indianapolis sooner than expected, buying a Palm pilot when I get off work today! :D

Lows: The fact that I don't get my first day off for a long long time until at least July 9th! :(

Highs: I'm happy with my new apartment, and last Saturday I bought my wedding gown. :) Also, my vacation (a much needed one!) is only a few weeks away.

Lows: I'm overwhelmed and tired. I'm behind in work, and I still have a lot of unpacking to do.

Highs: I have a wonderful new boyfriend. I'm having a wonderful summer. I had a fantastic Canada Day weekend with my sisters. I'm going to meet the new boys family and friends at the end of the month. I'm nervous but excited.
Generally, I am the happiest I've been in a long time.

Lows: Things are great right now. I have no lows!

Wow! It's been over a month since anyone has posted in this thread. I hope everyone is doing well.

Anyway...

Highs: Did I mention I have the best boyfriend ever! Also, I wrote my exam yesterday and I finally finished my summer course. I have three weeks to be a bum and then it's back to school.

Lows: I have the worst cough . I think it's smokers cough. I have to go an have a chest x-ray done soon. I really need to quit.

Highs: Recruitment practices start this weekend!!!!!
Lows" I have to get up at 7 AM for an all day recruitment boot camp and no matter how much I love Pi Phi Im NOT a morning person!

Highs: My health crisis is almost over and it's looking like I'll be fine; I get to work the Indianapolis Air Show this weekend; I'm going to be moving closer to work in November and work is going great!

Lows: I have an acquaintance who doesn't understand that winning my ebay auctions and saying "now you have to hang out with me to get your money" is creepy.

Highs: Turned in my first major grad school paper today! Have a new boyfriend! Have an awesome Halloween costume! Am making an effort to be around on GC!

Lows: I have soooooo much reading for this week....

High: I was elected Vice President of Fraternity Development today @ chapter!!!!!!!!!!!

Low: Finals are starting soon.... blah!

Highs: It's the last week of classes!!!!! I'll finally have some more time to spend with my boyfriend and catch up with my friends.

Lows: Finals are next week. I have way too much work to do. I have study, I have to go christmas shopping, I have to put up the tree, and much, much more. There is not enough time to do anything.

Highs: I'm almost done with grad school. :) Only 7 more days on campus and then I head back to Indianapolis to start my two externships.

Lows: I'm really going to miss my friends. I've started a little family here at IU. Plus, my fiance is now living here, and it's going to be hard being away from him. Plus, I have to start packing soon, which I hate.

(Congrats Erin! I thought you must be almost there. Told you it went by fast!)

Highs: We have our Christmas lunch at work and it will be nice to see everybody since I've been on leave. My little boy turns 6 weeks old today! We got another 3 ladies to join AAC for NC Delta.

Lows: It's freezing here! I still have shopping left to do :(

Ah Elizabeth! I didn't know you had your boy already. Man, I'm so out of the loop right now! Do you have pictures? I bet he's a cutie!

High: my oldest daughter will be married this Saturday!:)

Low: my oldest daughter will be married this Saturday. :(

Baby Patrick arrived in late October :) He's a great joy and I'm having fun being home with him. Lack of sleep is no fun but getting better and better! I'll have to look for a picture.

Best wishes Carnation for Saturday! I'm sure it will be everything you dreamed and more. Enjoy every moment.

Highs: I'm back in Indianapolis and ready to do my two externships: one at a school and one at a rehabiltation hospital. I like my new apartment! Also, I'm a bridesmaid in a sister's wedding, and dress fittings are on Thursday. :)

Lows: I'm still not done with Christmas shopping, and I have a feeling it's going to be hectic in the malls. I hate snow, and I'm nervous about working in a school. I'm not trained in that area (...I'm a rehab kinda girl!) so I feel a little unprepared.

We can't let this thread die y'all!

Highs: Back at W&L for a few days, saw a good friend from high school this weekend.

Lows: Going through a lot of personal life stuff lately. Still trying to figure out relationships. I thought this would be easier at 23!

Highs: I'm almost done with my M.A.! Right now I'm finishing my first internship at a school. It looks like I may have a job lined up, and in four short months I'll be married. :)

Lows: I'm getting over a small case of strep, so I'm pretty tired. This is my last week at the school, and I'm going to miss my kids. I need more time in my day since I have a lot of work to do, and I don't get to see Jeremy very often.

ETA: I forgot one high! I'll be joining the AAC for Indiana Beta (IU chapter) in August. :D

ETA #2: I forgot another BIG high! Jeremy announced recently where we'll be going for our honeymoon: Paris with a quick stop in London!! :D

Gosh Erin I can't believe you are almost done! boy it flew by didn't it!! Congrats and good for you for doing AAC, it's a blast!

Oh my goodness it's been awhile since I last posted!

Highs:

-My close friend's wedding is on June 10th. I can't wait to be a bridesmaid for the first time.
-My first wedding shower is Sunday.
-I move in two weeks.
-I start my new job in a hospital in three weeks.

Lows:
-I'm a little sad to leave my current externship site. I've made so many great friends.
-I had to make a last minute appointment with David's Bridal since my seamstress can't bustle my dress. UGH.
-I'm sad to leave Indy, especially since most of my friends are here.

High: school is out with the last class Thursday night, woohoo!

Low: I'll really miss a lot of the graduates.

Where is everybody around here anyway? this board is mighty quiet!!!

I'll start the highs/ lows and maybe some of y'all will be back from vacation soon!

I spent the weekend back home in Toledo so my highs/ lows will be related to the trip

High: Went to an art fair with my sister (also a Pi Phi) and saw 4 of my Pi Phi chapter sisters, one of whom I hadn't seen since she moved to Chicago (10 + years ago) and I moved to Dallas.... I kept telling my ChiO niece that in 20 years, she'd understand our excitement in renewing friendships.

Low: My father moved from assisted living to the nursing home section of the retirement community where he and mom have lived for the past 5 years. Mom is still in an apartment. Parents aging is NOT fun.

Let me jump in too!!

Highs: I've started working just 4 days a week to stay home more with the baby (who turns 8 months this week!) and we're headed to the beach all next week with both of our families.

Lows: my doggie has fleas :mad:

Yup, I'm still around. Life is crazy!

Highs: I started my new job in a hospital. I love my co-workers, and it's great to finally get a pay check. My bachelorette party is Saturday, and my wedding is next Saturday! I'm excited, and I'm very excited to visit Paris for a week on the honeymoon. Also, I'm officially on Pi Phi AAC for Indiana Beta. I'll be serving as the counterpart to VP Membership, which should be fun.

Lows: Work is stressful. This is my third week on the job, and I spent most of this week being the only therapist in the hospital. I'm also getting sleep deprived from stress and excitement over the wedding. Also, my TMJ is acting up.

Wedding in t-minus 8 days...eek! :D
