Well, last night was the Debutaunte Ball announcing the 2006 debutauntes, and I was very pleased to see that TWO Thetas were in the mix. Out of 26 girls, I was very happy to see our girls representing well. They looked beautiful in their gowns.

Also, the Chi Omega local alumnae chapter's Wine and Cheese party/fundraiser went very well. I'm not sure how much money was raised, but it was a pleasure to attend and the donations at the door were very generous.

Today I passed the HESI mid-curricular exam for my nursing program YAY!!!!! This means I dont have to take the test taking strategy class next semester (required of all those who dont pass).

Oh my gosh... I haven't been on here in ages. I'll contribute. I've just been elected the newest Ritualist for my chapter, and I'm SO excited. In other news, I've been accepted to my summer field camp (I'm a geology major and it's required to do a field camp in between your junior and senior year) through James Madison University in VA. So I'm going to Ireland on May 18th to hike around mapping for 6 weeks. I'm super excited because I don't get to study abroad during the regular school year. I guess that's it for now.

Theta Love and Mine

I'm so excited for you that you have been elected Ritualist. I wasnt able (due to time) to try for Ritualist in my chapter. I pledged as a junior and only had time before going alum to have one office (scholarship chair) and I wasnt experienced enough to be ritualist. I'm glad you are super excited about it! I'm envious of you that you are going around Ireland in May!!!! We hope to go there in a couple of years so let me know everything you do, what your recommendations are etc etc

Hey!
I'm new to GC and I am so happy that we have our own little area! Anyway, what's new in my life...Our finals week starts next Wednesday so, I'm studying up for that. Otherwise, we did installs this week and I am the new Ritualist for Upsilon Chapter (LoggerTheta - Congratulations to you!) and I'm incredibly excited about the whole thing. That's my life right now - I hope that you're all having a wonderful holiday season.
Theta love and mine,

I will definitely fill you in on Ireland. It's just too bad that it's so far off! I'm going to spend most of my time on the western coast mapping the countryside and such (Shannon/Galway area), but afterward I'm going to travel to Dublin (and beyond!). I have a friend that lives there, and it would be silly not to visit.

TwinStars09: I'm super excited for you! Fellow 2007 Ritualist! This is the one job that I couldn't end my time as a collegiate (sp?) member without holding. I hold our ritual so dear to me, and I like passing that on to our newest members and our actives alike.

Theta Love,

ThetaPrincess, Congrats on passing your exam!

LoggerTheta and TwinStars09: Congrats on becoming Ritualists for your respective chapters!

I'm happy that I'm about halfway done with my Christmas shopping, and hope to finish the rest of it up today. Then I just need to get it shipped back home since I'm flying home for the holidays.

I'm estactic because I did get the promotion that I was up for at work so I will be moving closer to my family in a little over a month or so. My company is relocating me to Omaha. Lucky for me, one of my Theta sisters from college lives there and she's already helping me out with looking for a place to live.

Sadly as a result I'm no longer going to be advising the chapter that I currently advise, which makes me sad because I've really enjoyed working with the women of the chapter.

ThetaPrincess24 · #83 12-10-2006, 01:21 PM

Congrats on your new position!!! My best friend lives in Omaha. She just graduated medical school from Creighton.

My Christmas shopping is finally done! So is my decorating foolness for the year. I think i bought a little too much this year but that's okay

Our bathroom is even decorated

I'm excited too because the Pampered Chef stuff that I ordered should be here next week

My challenge this weekend has been studying for my Tuesday final and helping my daughter come up with an idea for her science project (boo!).

ThetaPrincess24 · #84 12-18-2006, 03:04 PM

7 days left until Christmas!!!!!! Who's not ready?

My shopping and decorating are done, but I keep finding little trinkets that I want to buy people!

My final went well last week. Now I'm having trouble unwinding and feel like I should still be studying something. My husband will be gone for three weeks next month

One of the weeks he'll either be in England or the Czech Republic. We dont know yet. He's going to be gone in February and in March too. I dont like all of the traveling but once again i keep telling myself frequent flyer miles! Marriot Hotel Points! Hilton Hotel Points! My daughter's fish died last week as well so when the kids come back on Wednesday we are going out to buy another one. I dont think my daughter really cares, but my husband says he misses the fish.

My husband bought my 9 year old step son a drum set for Christmas. I dont think this was such a hot idea.......but oh well. I've stocked up on Excedrine Migraine so maybe I'll be okay.

Last night I cooked a formal dinner for my husband as an excuse to use the new china place settings that we got. It went quite well! I made a city slicker salad (spinach, strawberries, almonds, and poopy seed dressing), oregano chicken, and herb seasoned vegetables, with whole wheat rolls and riesling. He ate it all and kept saying how tasty it was and how I did a good job with the presentation. So I felt good.

Hope everone is doing well and has a Merry Christmas!

With the exceptions of two presents that I need to buy when I land in Iowa - one being coffee beans - I'm done shopping. Plus, all my gifts are shipped and most of them are wrapped too.

I feel like I'm being pulled in a million different directions with trying to get relocation details done along with holiday things. My goal next year is to not be moving anytime close to the holidays. It's very frustrating and while my move date isn't until next month sometime there's just so many loose ends to tie up.

Good Luck with the drum set ThetaPrincess! I always wanted one of those when I was a kid, so I'm jealous of you step-son.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

blackngoldengrl · #86 12-19-2006, 05:59 PM

TP24, that dinner sounds delicious! Right now I'm in the dregs of studying for yet another exam (of course)! Tomorrow it'll be psychiatry-disorders, drugs, treatment. It's actually been really interesting, so maybe 3rd year I'll like my rotation.
Needless to say, I have not purchased one Christmas gift.

Ah well, tomrrow afternoon will be fun then...

Happy Holidays!

I haven't been here in forever...I studied abroad in Cameroon in the spring so needless to say there wasn't a lot of internet time for me although I suppose I don't have much of an excuse now.

I am enjoying senior year craziness though and I promise I will be better!!

Christmas is so exciting. Although I finished my Christmas cards, I have yet to mail some of them. Whoops.

Study abroad sound so cool! I've never heard of anyone doing one in Cameroon though. I'd like to hear more about what you studied there and how it was!

ThetaDancer · #89 12-22-2006, 02:54 PM

Just caught up on everyone's updates...sounds like you have all been busy!

I've been spending most of my free time doing last minute Christmas things...sending the last of my cards, baking, shopping and wrapping. I'm spending the next three days with my family, which I am really looking forward to.

Merry Christmas everyone!

My Big is engaged! She called me earlier today, but I had to hear it over the voicemail as I was too busy to get to my phone. BUT! She has been seeing her fiancee for almost 4 years now. She's a first year in medical school and he has a degree in law. We never did candlelighting or anything at my chapter, so I can't sing any songs, but I was happy to know I could share it with you all!

Happy New Year!
