Have you ever looked at your calendar and said a little prayer, hoping that you'll make it through the month? We'll just put it this way, I've been praying regularly. I've been moving at the speed of light since the end of August. So far I've survived 10 days of RA training, 4 days of orientation, 11 days of class, 5 nights on RA duty, hours of recruitment counselor training and meetings, and I've already managed to have quite a bit of fun with my friends to start our SENIOR year off with a bang.

Classes started last Tuesday and are going well, although I've already managed to rack up some absences. Mostly because I like to keep thing interesting, I was up half of Tuesday night and woke up feeling extremely uncomfortable and when my go-to pick-me-up of a long shower did nothing to help I knew something was wrong. I went to Student Health to see the wonderful nurse, Laina, and we discussed my symptoms and she told me I should probably get to a doctor asap. I roped in my wonderful friend, Kevin, to take me to the urgent care center and another friend, Emily, took me to get a abdominal CT scan and to my chagrin I had a Kidney Stone blocking my ureter. The next day I went to the urologist thanks to my friend Callie and he gave me a strainer to find the little bugger. I spent several days very uncomfortable and under the influence of some painkillers and finally passed the stone on Monday. I've got an appointment with a Urologist tomorrow morning and hopefully he'll give me suggestions on how not to have another one. The one nice thing about getting sick at school is although you don't have your mom there to, well, be a mom, you do see how willing friends are to help with whatever they can.
I'm exhausted and tonight kicks off the real beginning of the recruitment madness and the best part of recruitment (for me,) I get to meet my Rho Gamma group! Yeah, I know, that's going down that whole #1 Greek Scene thing, but as a recruitment counselor I'm known as a Rho Gamma. The idea is that all of the counselors gave up their chapter's letters to help the potential new members find their own chapter so we get some "stand-in" letters. Anyway, I'll be guiding a group of young women through the recruitment process and I get to meet them all tonight for recruitment orientation. The rest of the exciting recruitment process is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and to add to the excitement the whole recruitment team is moved off campus.

That's all I have for you lovely folks right now, as you might imagine I have approx 1 million things to accomplish before recruitment orientation tonight.
Hope all's well with you!
