Where did all the Chi O's go?

What have you all been up to?

this place is dead indeed. Perhaps our sisters are having more interesting summer vacations than we are!

I'm always bored at work! But sometimes I have to look busy. And I have to admit I've been spending a lot of time on theknot.com!!!

Great! We had a blast...and the weather (last week) on the SC coast was super.

Well Kathy, I am always ears for wedding plans. It's tons of fun to listen to!

I'm doing alright. Lots of work to do. It seems like I am always running from one place to another. This weekend I rested, but I can't do that any more! I have essays to write, security deposits to get back, new apartments to look for (yes I am moving again!).

Lil' Chi O- How have you been? What is your typical week like?

-Michelle

I have been busy traveling with work. I also just moved into a new place that I absolutely love in downtown Orlando! I should be able to check in more now!

CardinalSM · #11 08-03-2004, 11:52 PM

Hey ladies! I have been out for a while, went to FL to visit my family for a while. And then packing up to move out of my apartment and back into the Chi O house for the fall. That took FOREVER. And I am realizing that rush retreat is less than 2 weeks away and in 3 and a half weeks, I am going to have a pledge class to teach and I am very NOT prepared. So it is time to get crackin and spend some quality time with my GM handbook! I am trying to mentally gear myself up for a busy fall after a chilled out summer. Oh boy. . .

Sounds exciting!
Can you post pictures? How many bedrooms? Do you rent like I do or are you a homeowner?

Lill Chi O- What class are you taking? What is your major?

CardinalSM- Congrats on being GM!!! I was GM back in teh day. If you have any questions, pm me!

I have exciting news.... So, AMCAS (american medical college application service) finally verified my application! And today I got a secondary from the Univeristy of Southern California AND a letter from Washington Univeristy in St. Louis saying they think I am a competitive canidate and should apply. Wash U is one of the best med schools in the country, and I am a bit floored that they would think I am a good canidate... but hey!!! It has made my day.

Congrats, Michelle!

Hey, we have that new chapter at Washington U - they could use some help I bet. Though I'm not sure a med student has much spare time!!!

I've been MIA for about the last two weeks because things have actually picked up at work and now I spend the majority of every day running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. It's slowing down a little now though so I should be able to check in a little more often. I've also been really busy at night after work so I haven't really even had a chance to log on at all.
Sounds like things are going well for everyone. Please keep the updates coming. I'm in the process of looking for a new job. I'll let you all know that goes.

oncelurked · #15 08-04-2004, 02:25 PM

Congrats on the letter Michelle! Thats awesome

Though I have to say, it would be nice to have you in LA.

and I have to "ditto" everything Michelle said

As for me, I've finally got a permanent lab, so I can start concentrating on my thesis project. It's going to have to do with a protein family that appears to be part of a molecular stress response/immune response. I have 4-5 years to go, now that I've got a lab and a topic. Just so y'all know, this sort of thing usually takes 6 years or so. I know people who've done it in 4 years and people who've taken 10 years. I guess that's what a biology PhD is about, though - research, research, publish, and research some more

ETA: I've already finished one year....
