Happy Valentine's Day! (a few day's late)

This week was one that wasn't particularly busy as far as schoolwork;
the main thing that I had to do all week was present a speech with
Molly on Friday. Because we had just received assignments the Friday
before, we didn't have a lot of time to write our speech, make a
PowerPoint and handout and practice the speech. So, most of my
free-time went towards that. This coming week, I have two papers to
write, two tests (Calc II and scriptures) for which to begin studying.

Other than schoolwork, my week was also fairly uneventful. On
Sunday, I went to church with my parents and then they left and I went
to one of my new member meeting for Chi omega. That means that I had to
dress up (one of the only things you have to do for Chi Omega as a new
member is dress up for the hour-long meetings on Sunday; Chi Omega
requires their new members to do the least out of all the sororities,
which is nice.). But, because it was snowing and I was so comfy in my
sweats, I wore sweats to the meeting room and then went to the bathroom
to change and then I changed right back to sweats after the meeting,
lol.

Then, on Thursday, an exciting thing happened and I got to make my first
Chi Omega letter shirt! It's really cool and I'm really excited about
it. All the new members got together with three of the initiated
members to learn how to make the shirts.
As you all know, this week was also Valentine's Day. Due to this, I
got a lot of boxes this week, lol. On Monday, I got a box of muffins
and skittles (my favorite candy) from Grandma Jeanne. Another box came
in for me on Monday, but the lady who was working couldn't find it so
she told me to come back for it the following day (but I was still
nervous because I was worried that it was lost).

Then, Tuesday (Valentine's Day) came. That day, I got FOUR BOXES in the
mail, and three of them were pretty large! I had to get Sean (a friend
of mine) to help me carry them. One of my boxes was from the church
(It contained cookies, brownies, pudding, and a ton of other foods.);
another box was from my mum and dad (They gave me a really nice camera
bag so that I can carry around my camera and both of the lenses that I
have for it. It's really convenient.); a third box (this one was a
small one), from Aunt Connie, carried a little stuffed red-and-gold (Chi
O' colors) owl (the Chi O' symbol)

(The owl even had Chi Omega stitched onto it. His name is Owlett and he
is really cute; my sisters all really liked him, too.); the last box
was from Coleman (He sent me a Winnie-the-Pooh Bear, another little
stuffed bear, a singing card, a box of those chocolates that you don't
know what are inside (He remembered that I like those a lot =D), and two
boxes of Chewey Jolly Ranchers (one of my favorite candies).). Oh, and I also got to eat a lobster dinner on Tuesday, complete with grilled veggies and a cheesy biscuit. =D

I just got home from Jubilee today. Jubilee a Christian conference in
Pittsburgh.
It's a conference for college students and people go to a bunch of
lectures while they are there. Some of them are boring, but a few have
been pretty
interesting. The conference didn't allow for a lot of free time, which
was disappointing and stressful because I have a lot of work to do. I
actually ended up sitting in the back of several of the lectures and
studied calculus. I also purchased two books: a devotional and one
called
"The Gospel According to Harry Potter" (It's about the relationship
between Harry Potter and the bible.).
So, overall, I had a fun week. Now, it's time to leave you to go do schoolwork and laundry (Yes, it's a laundry day (which means $6 or $7 spent on washing clothes *ugh*).). Try to have a good week, everyone, while you are awaiting my next post.
