Yes, I know... I started a blog and then proceeded to write nothing... My excuse? I'm in college, what did you expect? :D
To recap this semester in a few words, it FLEW by. I mean one minute I was recruiting for my business fraternity while still buying textbooks and the next, I was packing up to head home for winter break. While it was a blur, it was still a fun one, so here are some things worth mentioning (well, at least in my opinion... I get pretty excited over simple things):
---My living arrangement (me + 5 guys) might as well be called a sorority. They never do chores, a few whine and moan over the dumbest things, and are completely obsessed over the opposite sex (yet they'll never agree or admit it).
---While most can't, I think that I can teach an old dog new tricks... why? Because Rich, my boyfriend that had never gotten a girl anything before (and who is half redneck and half stubborn as all hell), got me flowers and made me a CD to celebrate the 6 months we had been together (OR, in my words, the 6 months I'd put up with him and taught him how to treat a girl :D )
---Living out of my sorority house has had it's up an downs... while I don't know ANY of the freshman and really have a hard time keeping track of what's going on there, it helps me see who are my "real" girl friends here at college... it's rough, but hey it's life.
---As much as I LOVE road trips, I need to first always consider who I'm going on a road trip with.... so, that when you're on your way to Denver but find yourself in the middle of the Rocky Mt's first snow storm of the year, you won't have to break up fights or keep your cool when you wake up to find that you're now on your way to Bismark, North Dakota... fun.times.
---No matter HOW bad our football team is, the Apple Cup still matters, and I couldn't have asked for a better senior year game. THANK YOU huskies for still being worse than us... and GO COUGS!
---I have gained a HUGE appreciation for HEAT (5 cheap guys > than 1 girl, so the heat did not get turned on until after thanksgiving, as in after multiple freezes and snow)
---I apparently get better grades as each semester passes... 3.66! Woohoo-
OK- so maybe more has happened that is worth mentioning, but I simply can't remember ANYTHING, so this will have to do. I honestly can't believe that I just have a semester left... what the hell am I gonna do!? AH!

Goodbye Summer...
I know... I lied. I said I would post more often then I did while I was enjoying my summer, and honestly nothing was stopping me other than pure laziness.. SO here is an update, in brief, on how my summer went.
The Boeing internship was a GREAT experience. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better 13-week summer job that taught me a LOT about my strengths, interests, and potential after college. I am currently waiting to hear if I got accepted into a challenging and competitive rotational program that Boeing offers for its new college hires, but I won't find out until end of September so I will for sure keep you all updated :)
Other than work I had a great time catching up with old friends, visiting (and living) with family and being just 5 minutes from downtown Seattle.. basically the perfect setup if you ask me! Still, something was always missing, and as ridiculous as it sounds, I.missed.Pullman. I couldn't WAIT to get back! So here I am just a week into school, and already filling up my schedule and loving it... UPDATES since being back:
-Yes, I'm still living with 5 guys.. quite the experience. The only real issue is cleanliness but as "house mom" I'm working on that problem.. I'm sure an entertaining post on the topic is to come.
-ALPHA PHI RECRUITED 36 AMAZING NEW FRESHMAN! Yay! That is SUCH a big pledge class but formal recruitment for WSU sororities was at a record high in numbers this year so everyone benefited. Go A-phi!
-My business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi is recruiting like mad and has a week left before deciding on what 15 or so business majors are to join our chapter.. VERY exciting stuff for me, as I'm still getting used to being president!
-WSU had its first football game with its new team and new coach in Seattle this weekend, and sadly it was the first Seattle game that I watched us lose... Still, I'm hopeful for at least a 5-win season with this new team and think an upset or two will make it fun!
Long post, but lots of info... you can all thank Labor Day and my procrastination from painting my room for this post... but I *promise* that I will write more often AND add some pictures in the next week or so :) But YAY for being back in Pullman! I honestly can't wait to see what this last year brings... GO COUGS!

Whistle while you work...
It's mid-June in the Seattle area and we still are having March weather.. no joke, when will the sun ever show? I'm really not one to complain about the weather because in all honesty I love the rain, but after hearing that it SNOWED in Pullman yesterday.. yes... SNOWED, I feel that mother nature needs to give us a hand. Plus, I look like Snow White and could really use some color, but that's besides to point I suppose-
OH summer.. my last true "summer break". How weird it is to think I will be starting my final year of undergrad in a couple months! I truly wish it would get here faster, because if there's anything that I've learned in this first month of my break it's that work just isn't my thing. I know, I know.. I'm crazy, right? I have a fabulous internship with Boeing, working with a Program Management department of Alteon training, but the desk job idea is hard to get used to.. I am really beginning to appreciate my International Business major and the doors it could open. I'm very greatful that I have another year left to really decide just what I want to be doing...!
So what else have I been doing this cold start of summer? Well I'm living in Seattle with my sister and brother in law in the house my mom grew up in-- random, I know. It's been nice spending so much time with them (and playing video games with Chris :D ). On top of that, my sister is currently 38 wks pregnant so we're expecting my neice Claire just about any day now.. talk about exciting!
I've been touching base with close friends, seeing family, meeting other interns, and craziest of all, attempting a healthier lifestyle (let's be honest, bar food and cocktails at college just don't cut it.. haha). Every summer I seem to go in this cycle of realizing how busy I need my schedule to be in order to be myself and just be happy. Luckily I'm working on getting my schedule packed and up to speed, but even after hearing it snowed in Pullman yesterday, I want more than anything to be able to go back.. yes, I'm crazy, but what can I say, I love WSU.
SO, here starts my second blog. I hope to post more interesting stories than boring highlights of my day to keep family and friends entertained and in touch because that seems to be harder and harder these days! Enjoy the rest to come- :)
