Cabaret and Anchors
This week has been a mixing of ups and downs. Started off tired from a long weekend conference, went right into busy meetings about judicial stuff and important reports. My Monday ended with a long meeting with Ammar, my fraternity's International President, mostly good news and some possible opportunities for me to get more involved (like I need more right?), but we discussed some tough topics as well. I really believe in the work my fraternity is doing, and I can't say no to a good cause.
I have a lot on my plate right now. Lots of meetings with the Dean of Students, trying to keep the momentum going from MGCA with my councils, and the regular runs of life. Like getting my tetanus shot for heading to Honduras (we leave in ten days!) and taking these $11 a piece malaria pills!
There of course as always has been the ups which keep me in good spirits. A funny "Fraternity Moment of the Week" always helps the cause, as well as time out of the office having fun. Some examples of out of the office fun. This week on campus is showing the play Cabaret, which I saw Thursday night and it was fabulous. I also watched the Big Lewbowski on Wednesday with Jen and ate Chinese food. The most commical part of the night was not the movie, but when I called for the Chinese Food the lady answers and says, "where you at" like she was Snoop Dogg, and then when I tell her, she does not understand, and then passes me to the driver who does not understand, and then he asked me... "You come get it." Well actually I think he told me... anyhow I went cause I had a hankerin' for some sweet and sour pork, and you all know I am weak when it comes to some Crab Rangoons.
The week will end with Delta Gamma's Anchorsplash. Hands down one of my favorite Greek events, it always reminds me of my line Brother Alex Diaz. We always went to the Delta Gamma stuff together at WMU. I miss those days. There has been a buzz on campus for this event all year, seems to be the biggest Greek philanthropy event on campus here, and I get to be a judge! So exciting. It has also been fun seeing the events they do here, like the hide the anchor scavenger hunt.
Then Sunday I am doing a retreat for Panhel. We are going to Marshal to do some training, goal setting, and long term planning. I am very pumped cause we have some exciting things coming up. As much as I complain about my stress and work load, I know at the end of a week I can look back on what I accomplished and be proud. I guess it is better then a boring, laid back week, that in review was worth nothing. At least my stress, although a high price, does yield a promising result. Well off I go... I need to try to get some sleep, I been missing too much of that lately.
