CONGRATS thetaprincess! What wonderful news to hear!

Smile awhile as only Thetas do
while twin stars are shining over you.
Theta hearts you know are true,
glow with love for only you.

Theta lips are smiling through the years,
poised to laugh and kiss away the tears.
Give your heart to one that's true,
to your Theta girl.

(A song our chapter sings at candle passings- to celebrate engagements...)

Whew! Here's the news: I'm finally done in Ireland. For the past 6 weeks I've been out in the field hiking through peat bogs and climbing mountains 7 hours a day studying geology in Western Ireland. Now I'm done, and I feel great about it. I'm in England now, and in about a week I'll be in Iceland. After that I come back to the states, and continue doing field work for my Senior Thesis project. I hope all my Theta sisters are staying busy (but happy!) too.

I haven't posted in this thread since before I moved from Michigan to Omaha and that was at the end of January! Things in Nebraska are going well, loving the new job I'm in, definitely glad that my company gave me the opportunity. I like not being couped up in a an office building all day and I think this is a great job to be doing at this point in my life.
It's nice to only be a few hours away from a bunch of my friends and family instead of eight hours.
Things were so crazed the first few months that I didn't get involved in the local alumnae chapter and I've recently contacted the president. I'm looking forward to attending those meetings this fall.
I'm not having that exciting of a summer however - I decided to turn the one day that I was supposed to have off for the 4th into a five day weekend for some much needed R&R. Tomorrow I think I'm going to take my four year old nephew to the zoo or the science center. I've gone on a few weekend trips, but mainly to either Des Moines to visit friends or KC to visit friends.

Hope everyone else is having a great summer!

Congrats Thetaprincess!

As I last reported, I finished the first step of licensure to practice medicine. Today I got my scores, and I PASSED!!! Woo hoo!

On the other hand, my vacation didn't go so well, since my kitty of 17 years was dying, and finally passed away on June 30th. I miss her, but I'm glad she isn't suffering.

I don't want to leave this update on a sad note, so I will say that I'll be meeting up with the alumnae group on Tuesday for dinner. I haven't seen them in a while, and it will be a nice way to cap off the day.

Time to celebrate! Have a great weekend, sisters!

Congrats blackngoldengrl on passing scores! What a relief to get news like that. My sister (biological & also a Theta) just took the Bar exam last week after graduating from Law School this spring. Fingers crossed that she passes- scores back in about 6 weeks?

I am excited as tomorrow I'll be meeting a friend from my chapter for supper. She's a couple years older than I am, so I haven't seen her in at least two years, probably 3. Since then, she is married, living in a different city (only about an hour from where I live & we went to school) & I just found out is expecting a baby this spring.

My summer classes are finished & only about 3 weeks until my (taking) classes start, and less than 4 weeks until (teaching) school starts. Where did the summer go?!
