Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it t hat no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

I take on too much...way too much
not only do i have my final full time internship to prepare for but I am the president of an organization, secretary of another, and now I have signed up to be a mentor to the newbies in the Edication department...what was I thinking?!?!
Someone asked me to do something for them in my "free time"....i dont think I have ever laughed so hard in my life.

Recruitment is over!!!
It was so good...other than my few break downs it was awesome!
We had our Beta Gamma sisters from FSU come down to help us out and they were incredible!
Tara, Nat, Delfina and Beth also came out and they rock my socks for it!
We extended bids to 11 girls and 9 accepted!!!! And they are all amazing and incredible and heart AGD.
Bid day rocked with a giant water slide and sno cone machine and games.
We rocked it and it payed off....i heart us!

I wish People at work didn't hate me
I wish I could fast forward to the end of the week so I dont have to deal with angsty tension at work
I wish I had enough money to not constantly be stressing about being able to afford an apartment when I graduate (the stress zits are really gettin on my nerves)
I wish I didnt have the stress of reruitment on my hands
I wish I could give my girls all the confidence and conversational tools they need to rock
I wish I was in Tampa right now
I wish I graduated last semester
I wish I was a better leader
I wish my coworkers would respect me a little
I wish I had a US hug right now...every last one of us...together again
I wish things were how they were when I was really happy...oh about two years ago now
and finally...
I wish I had a guy who loved me who I love...someone to share everything with. I dont like being alone. I dont want someone obsessive , or puts me on a pedestal, who constantly compliments me, who makes me feel like the man in the relationship(not another Alex), someone who can see me for who I am and accept me for it, not change me. Someone who gives me my space. Someone who doesnt get annoyed with me or ignores me when we go out with other people. Someone who isnt perfect, but who is right for me. I wish I was good enough for that.

So it's kinda been a tough week.... i've spazed out about things like plane rides, job hunting, finding a place to live/roomate, and recruitment.

Lets start with plane rides: I hate them. So the massive turbulence we hit going to syracuse did not help this fear of air travel. I cried for about 20 minutes (not hard core hyperventelating crying.... but tears none the less) and my brother proved how amazing and wonderful her is by talking me through it.... he was great (except for the punch in the arm in the end for being stupid)

Job hunting: I'm worried about finding a job when I graduate. I graduate in december and as a teacher, finding a job in the middle of the year is gonna be hard. I mean, yeah i was offered a job last semester by a lady who is helong to open a school....ut what if the offer isnt valid in december? then what?!?! and another thing...do i stay in tampa? go back home (not an option since there is a hiring freeze in south fla)...to syracuse? DC? any other northern state that offers more $$ than florida? i don't know...and my time is running out to decide.

Finding a place to live: Its not finding a place to live that is the issue....its being able to afford one that is. i had a roomate in mind but things arent going ot work out with her. The next one i wanted to live with wont be able to move in until the end of january....i need a place by the end of november. I AM NOT MOVING BACK HOME! I absolutely refuse. NO.

And finally sorority stuff...recruitment. So the stand in recruitment chair decided to drop the position. This would have been all fine and dandy if it werent a month before the event... A MONTH. Needless to say this was my breaking point in the spaz factor.

All in all its been a pretty good summer. DC was awesome. Convention was amazing. Seeing all of the family in syracuse was great and warped tour rocked my socks. (see piks of all events on myspace)

PS to all sisters... come help out for recruitment!!! I and the chapter will love you forever and ever and ever and ever!!!!!!

Alpha Gamma Delta Convention 2008 was AMAZING!
I met a ton of new friends, made lots of contacts, learned alot, recived advice, found that Theta Phi isn't alone in our struggles, and had an expirience of a lifetime.
Its something I wish all of my girls could expirience, and guess what?!?! They can! Because the 2010 Alpha Gamma Delta National Convention will be held in
::drumroll:

TAMPA, FL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Through this expirience I have rededicated myself to the sisterhood and learned that AGD isnt all about the brands (colors, letters, mascot)....its about the binding sisterhood, the unity, and being a part of something that is so much bigger than one person.

So I got my final internship placement....
4th grade!!!
Lets just hope they aren't taller than me! My cooperating teacher emailed me and she seems super nice and is really excited to have me...which makes me so so so thankful!!
Yays!

Tomorrow is my first day of my 8th summer working in the art department. I wish I were more excited about it since it's my last summer working.
Yesterday we had open house, which for the art rooms means unpacking, taking inventory and setting up our rooms. I only have one new staff member. She is really nice, just out of college and an art major-which is the first we've had in 5 years...awesome!! She fits in with the group so far (I have a staff of 10). She will be running our specials room (which is normally my job- a job i am more than happy to hand over to the professional) which includes cermaics, drawing/painting, and fibers (her specialty). We'll see how it goes.
One major downfall is that the incompetant one is back. I'm not happy about it at all but what can I do? It's out of my hands and I guess I'll have to deal with it. I've decided he needs specific chores to keep him on task- a list I will construct at the beginning of each day and an adult will have to initial next t oeach task after he has completed the task. If he completes all tasks he gets a prize at the end of the day. So far he's super excited about this- I hope for all of our sakes it does because I will lose my mind if not (more so than I already have)
Ps. Sunburn really sucks....bad sunburn is all evil. I've had it for 3 days now and it's only slightly getting better today. It sucks when it hurts so bad u can't sleep at night. Boo... well the beginning stages of peeling have started so hopefully it will be gone by the end of the week. Hopefully.

OMG!!! DC is flipping awesome!!
I'm sad that I couldn't stay longer :( but had so much fun while there!
Tara is fabulous and deserves thanks and huggles for housing me... so much funzees!
Ok...so
Day #1: Friday-Arrival Day:
Got my first glance at DC and the surrounding area...and it is sooo soo soo pretty there...and green! First went back to Tara's and got her roomie Wendy (who is super cool and i likes her lots) and went to get food in this really cute little cafe... DC is like from the movies..no seriously...with the whole upscale kinda townhouses and everything... i probably got really annoying because I kept saying "wow...its just like the movies!"...but...well it was! Then we went back to their apartment to get ready to go to Adam's Morgan (DC's Y-Bor)...which i like to affectionately call Captain Morgan (mainly because I couldnt rememeber the Adam's part)... went bar hopping and it was fun. Didn't like the "club" (I use quotes because it was more like a bar with a dancefloor...not what Im used to) but the bars were fun. Ooooo and went to this super cool sushi place called Lotus. The inside was supposed to look like a lotus flower..i didnt see it. And that is the end of day #1.
Day #2: The Mall:
Ok..so Tara kept telling me that we were going to the mall on saturday. well, she didnt explain what the mall was to me and i thought we were going to a, well, shopping mall. That was false (which was fine because i didnt want to go shopping anyways) The mall is the big green area that has tons of cool DC-ish stuff around it (like the senate building and some of the smithsonian museums). It was way cool. We saw a bunch of memorials, the holocaust museum, and the museum of natural history. all were amazingly cool (and educational). But I haven't even got to the best part yet... I rode in a.... SUBWAY! OMG it was just like in hte movies! I feel so worldly now ::sighs:: Then we were really tired and went back to Tara's apartment and had great intentions of going out and seeing a movie, but our bodies said "no! you shall play rock band! i demand it!"...and who are we to deny the whims of that?!?! So we played rock band, and tomorrow I am going out to get my very own guitar hero- and it shall be greatness!
DAY #3- Zoo + Departure:
This morning we got up super early to go to brunch which was really yummy. Then we saw........... PANDAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there were so flipping cool! As were the big cats and naked mole rats (all piks are up on my myspace) Then sadly it was time to leave.... but I had so much fun this weekend and am already planning a trip for the fall! And thanks to Tara's pressure I am now considaring moving to DC....eventually... after my two years of teaching expirience are up and Im ready for grad school.

And that is the end of my adventures in DC. They were alamzing and wonderful and i only wish i could have stayed longer :(

So I had my first lady doctor appointment today (which will make all of you who have been hounding me to go happy!)
It wasn't all that bad...not as bad as i have heard from...well all sources. My totaly time with the doc was 5 minutes....and another 10 getting that HPV shot (all u ladies should really get that thingy...even though it hurts in the arm-al region afterwards)and woots! i got tested :)
Being home is great...going to DC in 2 days to see Tara. Soooooooooooo excited!!! And I went shopping today so now I have clothes too! woots! And bought a new book called "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly.....looked interesting. It was in the sci-fi section so I will like it :)
Oh and my brother totally made my day today... but I'm not gonna post about that...you'll have to call or IM for details....but he made me smile and it was awesome!
Hmmm what else? camp is in a few weeks...June 9th...my last one! Moving to Tampa when I graduate. I have the roomate and apartment all picked out.
Oh and P.S.- mario galaxy for wii rocks my flipping socks...no really. it does.
still working on zelda...stuck in a stupid dungeon place and can't get out. boo.
So sad I missed mommy's grad party/leisha's bday party :( i heard it was equal amounts of greatness and not so greatness. The not so greatness revolving around one person's bitchiness which now makes them (in the words of justin) dead to me. You don't treat two of my best friends like shit in one night and make one (or both) of them cry. Boo that! Neither of them deserve that treatment. The End.
Anyways... I hope everyone is enjoying the nasty florida summer weather because oh gee golly gosh, I am!

well another year is over and done with.
congrats to the graduates! it felt wierd watching all of the people i should be walking with graduate without me...i wish i was crossing that stage with them....stupid indecisive me changing my major 4 times. boo me. but i'm happy for the graduates and its not going to be the same without them (i'll miss u mommy :(..)
Good points of this semester were my freaking awesome internship. i learned a lot and it reinfored my passion for teaching....i was made for this.
My professors rock...well...most of them.
Presidency is equal parts bad and good....can't wait for november to roll around so i can pass on the gavel to someone else.
Quit working at the desk..woot
Dumped a guy for the first time...that was interesting. not a fun expirience.
made dean's list again...yays!

Things to look forward to next semester:
Final internship teaching all day every day :)
Graduating!!!!!
Getting my first apartment in Tampa
Hopefully getting hired after 10 weeks of teaching (then i can leave school early and start working)

Things not looking forward to:
paying rent
paying bills
possibly not getting offered a job after graduation

All in all i think its been a good semester... minus not really having a life outside of sorority, school and work...maybe i'll get one next semester...maybe

So...I broke up with the boy tonight
There were no butterflies in my tummy
No spark
He's bummed
I'm relieved
The End

I passed my professional exam!!! Ahhhhh!!! soooo excited!
