Hi Kevin!
Oh, how there are times when I hate school aside from Greek Life of course! Lately I have been so stressed due to all these exams and papers that have been piling up....LOL it does not help that i am the QUeen of Procrastination! ANyway, I am sick right now...so I'm on a little vacation--if you can call it that--for about 2 days now. I really wanted to go out tonite (St. Pattie's) w/my sisters...but I don't feel well enough to go clubbing! How was your St. Pattie’s Day? Virginia sounds terrific…I have always been amazed at how different the West Coast is from the East Coast. I just love the Colonial styles that New England holds…and it’s just really fascinating for me to see (in viewbooks at least hehe) the places where former presidents used to reside/grow up in. If you can’t already tell, =) I’m a stickler for really serene, beautiful places…and to me, it seems like New England, with that lush landscape and rolling hills (? I might be wrong on this?) would be perfect. I’d love to maybe move there one day after I graduate from college! However, I’m a true Cali girl, and I don’t know if I could actually stand the harsh climates, where you actually experience a Winter! LOL! Here in California…you only experience basically a Spring and a Fall...and in So Cal you experience Spring, Summer, and a little bit of Fall (mostly Summer though!). Again, sorry about the delays in responding these days! I hope that all is well w/you! As for me, I have been really stressed these past few weeks (as I said above), but thankfully there is this guy I’m now dating (a Pi Kappa Alpha) and he is just wonderful! Please take care for me! Love, Sammie

Hey Sammie

I've been there. Hang in there It builds character and eventually you'll have that beautiful piece of paper. Thats sucks that your sick. I hope you feel better soon. I know theres something going around here. Just think that there are plenty of times to go out and celebrate. This time that you need is a small fraction of the fun that you can have during a semester. I was always the big putter offer also. I always did my papers last minute but then I always met my deadlines. I guess I was better at handling things under pressure Yesterday was ok with me. I spent it with my parents and we just had a quiet night. Definitely had some good refreshments though. Tonight will be much of the same but with more of the family. Yeah, its pretty cool here. Definitely worlds apart from California. I know what you mean on the difference of seasons. More pool time for you Here in Virginia it is beautiful. Very green, with rolling hills and very historic. Nothing like California's majestic mountains, but we have some awesome sights. Like in my town we have tons of civil war places and of course about 50 minutes north of me is Mount Vernon (GW Washingtons Home). A big estate and very pictureque. I'm not found of the winters here though. It is nice to see snow for the first time in the winter but not when I have to drive through it for work *L* Yeah, its different here, but its got a lot of character to it. I love California too, but I guess its just another flavor Nothing like those Billboards and rolling California hills Yeah, things are going great here. Congrats on your new friend. Take Care, Kevin

Hey! I saw this thread and I thought it might help me get over the blues I've been experiencing lately.

Here are some of the things I love:

my family (especially since my little brother actually misses me)

being GREEK

being an LSU TIGER!!!!

sleeping late on the weekends

Saturday nights in Death Valley

Dave Matthews Band(I'm going to see him at JAZZ FEST!!!!)

my puppy Louie(I still call him that even though he's full grown)

red tulips and pink roses

listening to people

I think that's all for now...I'm suddenly feeling much better!

- Watching a movie at home with my family while eating pizza.(Our weekly family event.)
- Taking a nap on a saturday while it's rainy and dreary outside.
- Waking up and finding out school has been cancelled because of the snow.(or in TX because of the ice.)
- Swimming in the pool with friends on a hot summer day, and cooking hamburgers, chicken, and steak on the grill. MMM!
- When my mom tickles my arm.(She's been doing it since I can remember, just the thought of it makes me home sick.)
- Sitting in front of a fire wrapped up in a warm blanket, drinking hot chocolate with marshmellows.
- Helping my mom make thanksgiving, and christmas dinner.
- Eating my mom's homemade stew on a cold winters day.
- Spending time with my dad fixing, building, or repainting things.
- That feeling you get when you have a crush on someone, and your friends tell you they think he likes you.(That's the best!! )
- Spending time with my wonderful new sisters!! They're my best friends in the world, and I would do anything for them!

4. Getting a walk in a class I don't have homework ready for, or on gorgeous days.

5. Wearing my guy's t-shirts and sweatshirts.

6. Making people laugh.

7. Wanting to hear a song, then flipping on the radio and hearing it.

8. Chillin' by the pool.

9. Getting home, checking calller ID and having friends' calls to return.

10. A great party.

11. Yellow.

12. Dogs.

13. The Beach & warm weather.

14.My friends, family, and sisters.

-Grandmothers fried chicken and rolls
-Your chapter song. Ours is Piano Man by Billy Joel
-Watching you chapter win a football game or greek week or greek sing or something.
-The promise of a Friday afternoon on campus. (the place is full of opportunities)
