Sigma random thread!

Talk about anything here! New job? Cute new puppy? Annoying new roomates? Anything (as long as it follows the forum rules)!

They're opening a Forever 21 in my area this winter. I'm ready to do some serious damage to my bank account!

Okay, I'll bite!

First of all...what is "Forever 21" ? Or, am I just showing how un-hip I am?

My exciting random news is that I have lost 22 pounds and counting on Weight Watchers! I've already dropped 2 pant sizes, and I have 14 more pounds to go to be skinnier that I've been since college! But skinny in a HEALTHY way! Sooo excited!

In other random news: I had a fabulous birthday this weekend...I'm officially in my 30s now (31) rather than "just 30"! I had a lot of fun! It's kind of nice to know how much your friends care about you, and my brithday festivities reminded me of that!

(edited to fix spelling/grammar)

Alpha Beta chapter is MOVING! I'll keep you guys posted on the location as soon as we get situated.

I finished my MLitt last a week ago, but feel completely unaccomplished. I'm sure I'm meant to feel like I've achieved something with my 68-page dissertation, but I don't. Maybe it's not sunk in yet?

I also fancy the new guy in my building (although we all know how well it always works out when I fancy a guy), so hopefully fate deals me a good hand on this one. I'm still cynical after my last experience. C'est la vie.

I've realised that my life is scarily similar to Megan Crane's novel "English as a Second Language". Scary how life imitates art.

Sigma Love and Mine,
Laura

Congrats, ShyViolet on your Masters Degree! An M-Lit is the type of masters I want to get eventually. I'm looking at combined MA Literature/Writing programs at Ohio State and good ol' Kent.

More randoms- My chapter is having its first social of the year in Sept. It's a handcuff social with Alpha Tau Omega. You basically get handcuffed to an ATO for the night and we have fun little events with prizes for the handcuffed couples. The favors? Plastic handcuffs of course

I have a tendancy to get smacked in the face by people wh are my "friends" but then I forgive them over and over again. I can't seem to let them go from my life even when they keep screwing me over. For example, I told a "friend" I liked someone, she just broke up with her boyfriend and I found out that she has a thing for the same guy I do through another friend.

why me? grrrrrrrrrrr

enough pity party...
i absolutely love my job!! i seriously do!! i think everyone should have it!!
i live with the love of my life in a great apartment here in NJ, and am about 5 minutes away from my sigma little sister, so after a year apart we are back together as eachother's shoulder to lean on.
i am on the road to getting a promotion sometime in the near future.
and i also love forever21, though do not know where the closest one to me is.

p.s...ihearttrisigma, i totally miss KOP!! though the jersey mall near me is o.k...nothing will ever beat driving down rt.30 to the penn. turnpike and being at the greatest mall in the northeast!!

p.p.s...we are all sigmas, so therefor totally lucky!

No wonder I didn't know about Forever 21...clearly there is not one anywhere too close to Tulsa, Oklahoma!

In other random news, I was just downtown for a presentation and ran into one of my pledge sisters walking down the street. Very excited to see her! Plus, she said I looked good and then "the exact same as you did in college". God, bless her!

I am leaving on my very first business trip on Sunday morning! Boston for four days then back to Minnesota. From the conference calls I have been on the past week, I know there will be atleast one other Sigma on the trip as well.

I just got my teacher certification and subject area tests results back. I passed all three tests!! I am so excited! I will now be a certified elementary teacher when I graduate in April- woo hoo! I will also be able to teach math and science up to 8th grade, since I passed my subject area tests!

KSUViolet06 · #12 08-26-2005, 09:27 PM

* I will officially graduate on December 16, 2006.

*I've decided to apply to grad school @ Cleveland State, Murray State, University of Kentucky, Kent State, and Ohio University. My top 2 are Cleveland and Murray so here's hoping.

*I have a HORRIBLE crush on an RA that's on my sister's staff.

I am going through the disassociation ceremony on Sunday, making me an official Gamma Rho Chi (recruitment counselor). This will be my 2nd year being a Rho Chi and I am looking forward to it. I had a blast last year and am sure I will this time too.

I am actually looking forward to school starting on the 7th. It is my last semester before student teaching!!

We had our Sigma Rho Chi ceremony last Monday. It was bittersweet since we're losing 3 of our sisters, but we know they'll make awesome counselors and help lots of girls find a home in the KSU Greek system.

Omg Forever 21 is to die for. I go to the one at Galleria Mall in Buffalo all the time. After Forever 21, Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe I have no bank account left. lol

Speaking of puppies too, I have a precious little 6 month old Chinese Pug/Toy Poodle mix. I am in love with miniature puppy dogs. She is my little baby. I love her to death.

I have a broken foot from a car accident. I really miss work! I might get to go back on the 15th though

I still waitress in the Casino/Horse Racing Track and I think it's the best job in the whole wide world.

I miss Sigma so so so so much. I find out the other day, I might not get to go to Cal State East Bay. A bunch of drama with transfer credits and I absolutely refuse to start over. University of Louisiana at Lafayette may be the lucky school to get me. It's my next top choice. I'm crossing my fingers to go in January. I can't wait to affiliate with another chapter, but I will miss Alpha Beta to death. Who am I kidding? I already miss Alpha Beta to death. At least I got the wonderful ladies from the RIT chapter to go visit

I love them bein just a hop, skip and jump away and I can't wait to go meet all of them!

I'm moving into a new apartment with my best friend and I am super super excited.

Ok, so a ton of people know that I absolutely love going to watch Harness Racing. I won $434 on the Trifecta the other night. Woohoo!

I think thats all my pointless rambling for now.
