Mono, and Rush week!

This has been such a crazy, busy week! One of my roommates was diagnosed with MONO last Monday and she went back home for the week. This gave us all a scare- I seriously thought I had it, but really I just have an overly active imagination! We have been scrubbing our side of the apartment and the kitchen trying to rid it of any germs that may still be lurking around! It has been weird not to have my roommate around- it is like a member of my family is missing!



It has been Rush week here on campus for the Sororites and Fraternities. I decided to rush for Alpha Phi, and after a busy week I received a bid from them! It is going to be a great way to be involved and meet more people!

Happy New Year!

These are a few pictures from New Years Even and also New Years Day! I hung out with my Best Friend on New Years Eve and also went to her family's New Years Day Open House on New Years Day!

High School Musical

Going to High School Musical was a highlight of my break but I decided it deserved its own post! I took Emily, but I think (I know) I liked it just as much as she did! It was a really good performance and since I have actually been in High School I feel like I can actually connect with them! That is just my excuse for being the oldest/non-parent there! Here are a few pictures from the evening...

Some highlights of Winter Break!

A fun family tradition- bowling! We went duck pin bowling this year- I am not any better at duck pin bowling than I am at regular bowling!
My family went out to sushi with my best friend and her family! This is a picture of a few of us at dinner!
We got Taboo for Christmas which was a lot of fun to play! Cara and I make quite a team!

Merry Christmas!

I know it is way past Christmas but I decided to give a quick Christmas up-date! The first picture is kind of crazy so do not look at it very closely! I am wearing my new pj pants, ugg boots and hat! The second picture is of us cooking on Christmas Eve! Christmas was a lot of fun- unfortunately I did not finish my A-Z scrapbook for my family- I will definately blog it once it is completed (in May)!
