Highs: Having a great chapter meeting today! Very efficient! Getting excited about Derby Days and Founders' Day

Lows: Having 4 papers due in the next 4 days... 2 of them research papers! :( :(

I'm getting excited about Founder's Day too! It's my 22nd birthday! :D

High: I opened my first movie rental account last night all by myself... I feel proud.

Low: Some girls in my chapter are really making me mad... they keep talking about how to respect each other and then it is those girls that disrespect some of their sisters. They were on full force yesterday at meeting. My one pet peeve is hypocrites!

Suzi

High: A phenomenal bonding experience this past weekend with 50+ outstanding Pi Phi ladies at the Regional Leadership Retreat (something you all can look forward to attending as alumnae!!)

Low: Working 24-on/ 24-off/24-on (I'm currently in the 2nd 24 hour shift)... total of 60 hours this week because a colleague went into labor 6 weeks early.

jharb-- if by 'stomach flu' you mean that awful gastroenteritis that has you praying to the porcelain goddess at all-too-frequent intervals, my advice (and I am a nurse) is to keep hydrated. Clear liquids with sugar... jello, sport drinks or pediatric rehydrating drinks (try pedialyte pops), sprite (let it sit a little so it doesn't make you burp). Of course, I swear by my mom's cure-all Canada Dry ginger ale and Campbell's chicken noodle soup.... hope you feel better soon!!

I'm looking forward to Founder's Day too! I've been invited to attend the celebration with a Club near mine where the guest of honor is our Grand President!!

Highs: This week is almost over! I only have three more weeks of school until I am officially over.

Lows: I'm going to miss our Swing into Spring kickoff. Also, I'm anxiously waiting by the mailbox to see if I've been offered financial aid from IU. I hate waiting. :(

High: Registered for classes next semester got into all the classes I wanted, including a horse back riding class.

Low: Amy Adams got kicked off AI. She wasn't one of my favorites but I liked her. I really need to get a life b/c I'm addicted to American Idol!

Highs: I don't have any work today!!!

Lows: I am stuck at work with nothing to do and I am bored out of my mind.

High: I'm pregnant.

Low: I don't know who the father is.




























April Fools!

Ok its my favorite holiday!

High: Its april fools day.
Low: I think I did a really bad job on a presentation today.

Suzi

I wonder who was kicked off! I've missed AI this week. I'm happy my favorite contestants are still in it!

PS. Suzi, what a horrible April Fool's joke! ;) My jaw definitely dropped. LOL

Highs: I had a great therapy session! One of my client's, a four year old boy, told me I was pretty today. How cute is that? Also, today was the first day he's called me by my name. It's taken almost a full school year, but he did it! His mother wants me to babysit him this summer, and I'm tickled pink to see him a bit more before I leave for grad school.

Lows: I was afraid I had the stomach flu this morning. I woke up sick to my stomach around 5am, but it's seemed to have passed (for now!) It seems like everyone I know has it. :(

OOO-- that was a good APril fool (doing what I do for a living, I believed you!)

My HIGH: birthday party for one of my former clients who will be one-year old tomorrow! He's up to 14 pounds and can sit up and is now off the ventilator for one hour/day!! (for those who are thinking that's an April Fools, sorry, it isn't... he started off ~700 grams and gave me more than one gray hair as I sweated blood and tears pulling him through those first 5 months before he went home from the NICU)

LOW: precepted a student NP today who was totally and absolutely clueless and unmotivated. I love working with students but it's hard when someone is unprepared for their clinical rotations and I would not trust to function independantly in a staff position, but I'm supposed to be training them to be in advanced practice??

Highs: My boyfriend! :)

Lows: I have 3 papers due tomorrow!

Karen, you work in the NICU??!!
That's awsome. My aunt used to be a PT in the NICU. What an amazing job, and it's so great to hear success stories!

Anyway,

Highs: It's friday!!! It's my friend's 24th birthday tomorrow so I am looking forward to celebrating it with her (and it's a chance to go have some fun...something I haven't done in a while!!!)

Lows: I don't want to be at work today. I'm tired and it's raining outside.

Highs: I went to Hechts this morning for the early big sales.. I got wedding presents for my friends this summer plus an engagement party gift for my friends. I was able to get them great gifts at much much cheaper prices!! Which is great when you are broke like me :p

I am going back tomorrow morning to get some stuff for myself though. I need some new things and plus I should get something for myself when I just spent all this money on other people.

Lows: The weather has been rather blah lately. Then my car well its really seeming like its on its last leg. I really need it to hold out a lot longer so that I can save up some more money. I cant afford a new car right now as much as I would love one :(

high: went to my first founders day banquet today. Funny because I'm a junior. Freshman year had a funeral to go to and Soph. year it was my nephews baptism.

Low: I have a zit on my chin! Kind of stupid but today has been good!

Suzi

I think that this is a great idea....

Highs: Kentucky Gamma's new philanthropy, Frats at Bat, began today. It went tremendously well...everyone had blast. We finish tomorrow! And the team I coach (Kappa Alpha) is still playing!!

Lows: I lost my cell phone Thursday and I cannot function without it...its on silent so I cant call it to find it

Highs: I've spent all of today writing papers for film critcism class, which means I get to watch movies all day long!

Lows: LOL, I have to write papers all day long.


(To add, tonight marks the first night that I don't have to go to chapter. It's going to be weird not going, especially since I've gone to chapter for almost every Sunday for 3+ years!)

PS. I'm a space cadet. Did I ever mention that I decided on IU's grad program? :D

Highs: I went to my friends' engagement party today. That was fun seeing friends today and the weather was real nice. We also went out dt Richmond last night together. Nice to have my friends around here going out for a change.

Lows: Long story.. Last night at the bar.. the girl who was waiting on us at the table added all these extra drinks on my bar tab that I never ordered. (i guess she thought I would be drunk or something by the end of the night and not notice) I only had two beers all night and there were all these mixed drinks on there. When I asked her about this she got all mad, cursing at me and stuff. I finally got her to take most of them off but i was still overcharged though. So after the cursing and the extra cost, I didnt leave her a tip (which as a former waitress I have never done..), well she had the nerve to come up to me and say "thanks for stiffing me" :eek: so of course I was not in a good mood at the end of the night.

She also tried to keep $16 of my friends change.. she had to track her down in the bar.

Crazy girl, I saved my visa receipt to make sure she didnt add more to my bill later.

Angelic- if she does add anything I would talk to the boss. Did you get her name?? Isn't it that the customer is always right?? That is crazy how rude she was to you.

Annie- thats a good philanthropic event. Maybe I'll bring it up to my chapter. Can you PM me all the logisitics?? Thanks.

My turn:
High: I had a nice relaxing day, of sleeping and watching movies.

Low: My room is a mess and I don't have enough energy to clean it... maybe I'll just go back to sleep.

Suzi

Highs: It's a short week!!!

Lows: Everyone on my team got tickets from our big boss to go to the Blue Jays home opener this afternoon. Everyone except the temps. Me and 2 other ladies are still here working. I don't think that's fair at all and completely unprofessional.

Highs: Gee, have there been any?

Lows: My bf and I are fighting over something stupid, and I guess he's chosen to ignore me for the past 24 hours. Yeah, real mature. :rolleyes:

Highs: Long weekend!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Lows: I am trying to quite smoking. I haven't had a cigarette in 3 days. I am dying here...it's taking all that I have not to go to the store to buy a pack.

Good Luck LadyPiPhi, I gave up smoking for lent and its been really hard for me too.

high: got to see my nephew today. He just turned 1 and he's so cute!! I never thought I would love something so small. Hes already talking and hes so cute when he says "buh-bye." Also just found out that one of the hardest upper-level business classes that was required is now not required you just get to take any upper-level business class.

low: I'm addicted to AIM and since I'm at home and my moms computer is weird it won't let me get on AIM. Its very frustrating!

Suzi

Highs: I'm home, exams are done, spring break is here, and I went SHOE SHOPPING today!!! :) and tomorrow's Easter! And then Monday I leave w/ my boyfriend to visit his home and family in Austin, TX!

Lows: Being President is STRESSFUL--even over break! :eek:

Highs: My hockey team played in tournament this weekend and we made it to the finals!!! We're a beginner team and not very good so we weren't confident that we were going to win any. But we went out there had some fun and we made it to the finals. Unfortunately we lost in overtime. But second place isn't bad for a team who didn't think they would win anything!!!!!

Lows: I had to miss the rest of the tournament because I was inujured at the start of the game. I fractured my tail bone :( . It hurts to walk and I can't sit down. I had to buy a donut to sit on (also know as an invalid ring...nice name eh?!) They gave me pain meds but I don't really want to take it because it's percocet.
Also, I cracked and had 1 1/2 cigarettes on thursday night...but I haven't had one since.

Highs: I had a great Easter weekend, and I was super productive today.

Lows: Well, I still have a bit of a head cold, but thankfully it's going away. I have a really busy week ahead, but it's managable.

high: Greek week starts on Friday and goes till next Saturday. I'm in charge of Public Relations and so its been pretty stressful but its almost over! And we're practicing for Greek Sing and our show this year is REALLY cute...I hope we win so bad!

low: I've been running straight since yesterday morning. And in the past two nights I've only gotten 9 hours of sleep altogether not tired right now but its going to be a big crash and burn. Had tests, work, meetings, and greek week stuff all day.

Suzi

Highs: The weather was real nice today, I went up and stayed with my grandmother the other night so she would have company, i spent the day with my parents yesterday... we went to Maymont (one of my most favorite places) and then out for dinner..

Lows: My great-aunt died this week (I grew up living right next door).. she was my grandmother's bestfriend.. real sad.. its been even more difficult bc I havent gotten over the death of my greatgrandmother still (she was 93 yrs old and one of my best friends), and then.. my exboyfriend is driving me crazy (long story.. I want to be back together.. he is still trying to figure out his life.. I miss him terribly and he lives in seattle).. its been like seven months of this..

Highs: I had the best weekend ever! :D :D

Lows: My AC isn't working, and my bedroom window won't open. Too bad it's 80+ degrees!

Highs: beautiful weather all weekend that is supposed to last all week! helped with initation at NC Beta (Duke) this weekend and welcomed 36 new angels.

Lows: my kitchen is being remodeled and my whole house is a mess!

Highs: It's spring term at W&L--6 weeks, two classes, and beautiful weather!

Lows: It's also dance tech week for our big spring show, PLUS Derby Days! I am running around like crazy with dance events and Pi Phi events!:eek:

High: we had pool night tonight for greek week and as an organizer of greek week I was basically one of the people to look for all the people who got disqualified and I am happy to report that every sorority got disqualified on one event except Pi Phi. We may not win but at least we play fairly.

Low: 2 words....boys suck!

Suzi

I have lots of highs.. :D

Highs:

• The weather has been so great. I have been spending time in my new garden that I have been working on.
  
  I am going up to tech this weekend. A lot of my pledge class has made plans to all come down for the spring game.. we are going to spend the weekend hanging out.
  
  also.. i have a new friend (sad i know.. haha, when you move you dont know many people), well its actually the stepson of my mom's cousin he is going to be graduating from JMU in a few weeks and moving around here. We hung out last week and found we had a lot in common so who knows.
  
  finding a permanent job is turning up. I have my fingers crossed for a job around here that I am trying to get. It makes it so much harder when you dont want to move. Plus the govt takes forever in their process.

Lows: Despite being in a sucky situation.. I dont really have any. The one thing about having things hit a real low.. the can only really go up. :p

HIGH'S AND LOW'S
 

I have some really exciting news and I wanted to share it with all of you, so here it goes...

High: Being named KA Southern Belle

Low: Nothing today!!

Highs: We didn't lose to our rival hockey team the Lynx in the tournament this weekend!!!! Yay!!! Had a great time at my friend's bridal shower!!! it was a surprise and the look on her face was priceless!

Lows: I hurt myself (again) playign hockey. I can't lift my arms because they are so sore.

Highs: This is my last week of school stuff (finals, etc). My birthday is on Wednesday (Yes, it's also Founder's Day :D :D), and right now I'm relaxing and making cookies to give to my supervisor.

Lows: I almost missed our Founder's Day/Senior Recognition bruncheon that was yesterday afternoon. My mom was in town, and I being a space cadet as of late almost forgot. At least I got there for the senior recognition part.

High: I was voted to be VP of Rho Lambda tonight and also was voted to be VP of administration for GAMMA yesterday. GAMMA is Greeks advocating mature management of alcohol for those who don't know. Its very exciting but I know next year is going to be busy! Oh yeah and its founders day!

Low: I was washing my car and got a HUGE crack in the front windsheild. It goes from the top to bottom!!!

Suzi

Highs: My exboyfriend came from Seattle to visit me for a few days. It was so great to see him. We went out to eat at four different really really good restuarants.. we both love food and had a good time just hanging out around richmond.

Lows: seeing my exboyfriend.. it was like an emotional rollercoaster.. everytime before i would leave for the night i would get so upset. Its been like seven months since we broke up and this is the second time he has come to see me. We both miss and love each other and would love to be back together.. but there is the one big thing keeping us apart.. i dont want to move terribly far away from my family and he doesnt want to sacrifice his career ambitions to move here..

Sorry for the board crash ladies, I just wanted to say what a great thread this is!!! I might have to gaffle it and bring it over to SK!! *muahhahahahaha*

No, but really, props!! :D

I say go ahead and bring it to your forum. I mean it is only fair. I "stole" it from another thread, too! :p

Highs: I'm almost done with my collegiate career. I have one more small paper to write up, and I'm done. My finals have all gone well so far. It's a breeze! Next Saturday I will be a graduate! :)

Lows: Hmm..I have no motivation to write that last paper. My apartment is a mess, and I have to scrub it down before family (including my future in-laws...my mother-in-law is a stickler for cleanliness) arrives. I feel lost and need to figure out my living situation at IU.
