Delta Zeta Random Thread

mom update~ she beings dual rounds of chemo hopefully on wed. She will be taking chemo by IV and by mouth twice a day. Our dr. is looking very positive at the situation and the massive amounts of chemo are to "make up for lost time". Hopefully round one (21 days) will contain and take care of the lungs, round 2 (21 more days) will start to shrink the tumors, and round 3 (21 more days) will shrink and hopefully get rid of them. She will be on very aggressive treatments and also getting red platelet infussions and some other stuff. She is very strong and determined. Her goals are to see my brother graduate from college and me to get married, sooooo she just might outlive both of us if she is waiting for that to happen. It is very hard to deal with since I am not near them, but I am going home every weekend. Please encourage everyone around you to get properly tested. They say this could have been going on for a few years and we never knew because all of the symptoms were masked by other meds. she was on. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts...yall are the bestest!

I have been busting my tail on my boards...the deadline is near!

Got my issue of the Lamp today...some of your chapters are outstanding! I was reading about them and thinking about which ones the girls on here were involved in.

The weather is finally getting nice. I am a little sunburnt from soccer practice today!

Hope everyone is doing great....good vibes going out to all of you awaiting grad school, jobs, finals and other big things.

Ann Marie- hows the wedding stuff going? teaching? bet you can't wait until spring break! the days are coming near!


off to bed for me.....

I seriously hate my 5-week classes. I have a final this week and one that is going to do evil things to me next week.

However, I have 46 days til the end of the semester, and then 48 days before I head to Cedar Point for the summer! I can't wait!

*HUGS* I'm sorry to hear that Katie..what happened?

[KatieKate1244]

The money for initiation and badges are due this week (maybe next?) and they couldn't come up with the money. They said they were going to try and save up to get an apartment next semester. We still need to find 4 more women or Iota Pi is closed

That's a shame, but sometimes it happens--my chapter had members drop for the same sort of reasons. How long do you have to find 4 new members?

[KatieKate1244]

We have a month. However, we do have a few good prospects!

Well, a lot can happen in 4 weeks. Don't give up! When my chapter was a colony, we managed to get...oh, geez, I can't remember, something like 20 to 30 girls through COB by the middle of the fall semester so we could be chartered. You can do it! Good luck.

[PlymouthDZ]

What are your numbers currently Katie?

I bet you can do it!!


On a sad note.. we had our first girl in 6 years drop out of NME.

The worst part.. she was supposed to be my great-great-grand little

[AWJDZ]

katie~ sorry to hear about your girls...I am sure you will pick up some awesome ones!

Nothing much new here other than I am waiting for the school year to be OVER!

the EX is back in action and calling again. Can someone give me a brain so I can get over him!

Didn't I see on someone's away message where they had gotten into ODU and JMU for grad school...way to go. I really wish I could go back to school full time and get out of the classroom...I love teaching but I really can't stand some of the kids. I used to think it was just people thinking kids have gotten worse over the years...nope, they have!

Ann Marie~ how are ya? When do you finish up in the classroom?

Anyway...gotta get some stuff done...blahhhh..I so wanna go home and take a nap!

Hope everyone is doing well...New girls, welcome and jump on in!

One Brain sent your way courtesy of UPS. I figure the guy in brown shorts might make your day

Brain must have caffiene on the hour, every hour. You can have mine, frankly, right now, I don't want it!

On another note, we have one of the traveling consultants coming in today. Can anyone suggest some fun activites that we could do with her, since Montgomery isn't the most happening spot?

[PlymouthDZ]

Amy - I'm well.. BUSY as a beaver! I have 2 more weeks of solo teaching.. then 3 weeks until graduation!

Wedding plans are going well.. my dress should be in any time now...



How are you doing? How is your mom doing?

<3

I just found out today that I have to have surgery...for the 3rd time. It's not like it's life-threatening, but this is getting pretty old.
