Then, two months later, getting a message relayed thru friend that took me to concert (his agent) that Jon says HI. Apparently Jon told my friend to make sure he said Hi to me and that then went on to say that it was great to meet me, that I was really cool and pretty.

Oh man...I'm so jealous. I've got a huge Bon Jovi fetish. My brother is constantly making fun of me for it...

I guess the most exciting thing to happen to me this year (besides getting my bid, of course

) was....um....uh...well... finally getting rid of my evil roommate? Getting two tickets within a week of each other? Finally getting to fly first-class on an airplane? Hmmm...try asking again next year. Maybe something really exciting will happen by then.

How do you like Texas? I live about two hours away from the metroplex and down here it is just plain HOT!!

Anyways the best thing that has happened to me was accepting a bid to and becoming an initated member of Delta Zeta!! Yea!
The most suprising (and second best) was receiving the President's Award at our Parent's Banquet out of our whole chapter (63 girls)!!

The most exciting thing for me was landing my current job. I was very proud about how I attained it. I went online(washingtonjobs.com) and applied for this position with a major bank. I heard back from them and then interviewed a week later with two people. I did really well with both HR people however I had no direct banking experience. So, I took specific skills that I had done in other jobs to demonstrate my ability. A week later I got the job and was so excited. Its been three months and I'm doing really well there. I've never done a finance job, only took one finance related course, but its really cool that I took on something totally new and I'm excelling. Of course this is all the beginning and we'll see where it leads.

My mom told me that my grandfather(her father) was the president of my company at one time. I sort of find it hard to believe and I havent seen any references proving. But I guess you never know

I think it would be really cool if we all did a lunch or happy hour. At least if everyone was up for the idea. I work in Tysons Corner myself pretty close to the mall.

With so many of us that live in the DC area, we should have a Greek social group that meets at different restaurants and lounges every month!! Anyone interested??

That's cool! I would love to intern for one of VA's senators next summer. I work on the other side of the aisle. I'm working at the Republican National Committee, which has been great so far. Its always nice to hear from other people interested in politics!

Has our idea died?

FYI: Sen. John Warner(R) Virginia is a brother of mine. Also, Sen. Richard G. Lugar (R) Indiana.
