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

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

the Chi Omega new members with their first letter shirts

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).

The Valentines that I received on Monday, instead of Tuesday.

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 Valentine presents from Coleman and Aunt Connie

(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

my Valentine's Dinner

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.
