max stress = sick fast

So, this week was the week of Initiation which meant Ritual practice every night on top of homework and work too.  Needless to say, with all that built-up stress, I worked up a cold which was no fun especially since I had to talk in front of a group of 40 people.  Initiation ended up going SO well and I burst into a coughing frenzy afterwards, but it was great!  Afterwards we went to BW3's and had a bite to eat with all my Brothers.  And, to make the night SO much better, one of my Brothers whispered in my ear that it was someone else's birthday, so, of course, I announce it to everyone and started singing.  WELL!  I later found out that she just said it was her birthday to get free cake!!  HAHAHA I was dying laughing!  AND to make it worse!  She did the same thing the next morning at Buca di Pepo!! WHATA NERD!  But extremely funny!

Earlier on in the week, we had our Girl's Night Out event and SO many people showed up.  It was a packed house and I was so happy because my feet didn't hurt quite as bad as it did last time I worked the event LOL. 

We got everything figured out for ODU Day.  The t-shirts and slap bracelets arrived on Friday so I put the ODU Day stickers on about 150 of them this weekend...super fun I must say...LOL NOT!  But I've heard nothing but great things about it so far and it's only Monday!  I'm really excited to see how it turns out!

I got to watch a little baseball this weekend too, which was definitely a change of pace (usally being at work when they play), but they run-ruled the first game so that was nice to see!  I love going to those games because I can always bet on a dog being down there.  I miss mine:( One of the downfalls living in my own house.  But speaking of dogs...our Visit Coordinator got a new Boxer this weekend, named Diesel...SO CUTE!  She brought him in today, and I got to hold him and he licked my ear.  I want to find a dog shelter around here so I can go play with them from time to time.  I wish there could be a dog that would just stay a puppy...I'd totally buy one!

SO!  I forgot to put the link to Bubble Wrap online so here it is...https://webmail.ohiodominican.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.therightfoot.net/mystuff/whatever/swf/bubblewrap.swf

and a special thanks to Krista for saving more for Cory and I today!  What a nice surprise!  YOU ROCK KRISTA! 

This week is ODU Day of course, but also the Walk of FAME.  Delta Sigma Pi is putting on a walk at school to raise awareness for fibromyalgia.  One of my Brother's sister was diagnosed with this disease.  Typically it affects women 35 years and older; however, her sister is just 17.  So, we're raising awareness by putting on a walk around the oval on campus.  It should be a great time and I'm really looking forward to it.  Sooo, if anyone is free this weekend betwenn 11-3pm, come to Ohio Dominican and walk to help raise awareness for this dreadful illness. 

I hope everyone has a great week despite the falling temperatures and rainy weather!

Take care-
