Obviously, updating my blog has been a high priority of mine in the past couple of weeks.
Obviously, my blog has been a high priority for others in the past couple of weeks, as well.

Obviously.

However, for those of you who have returned to read about how life is going for me:

1. Do I know you?
2. I like you already.
3. I'll like you even more if you leave a comment.

What can I say? I'm easy to please.

As for life... it's good. Here's a sample of what I'm thinking about tonight:

*The Relay for Life on Saturday was really wonderful. Our SAI team came together nicely after singing the anthem with the men of Mu Alpha. I walked for about 5 hours total, which actually isn't so bad considering we only had 7 official participants on our team to last throughout a 12 hour relay. And our team even won an award for its motto... "Cancer's in Treble Now..." (it's SUPPOSED to be dorky, ok?)

*The SAI Charity Ball ended up being one of the best nights of my life. Unexpected, that's for sure... but thanks to the encouragement of numerous friends and "sisters," the compassionate reassurance of two lovely ladies, and the completely unprecedented involvement and achievement of one Erin Ramsdell, I definitely made it to the ball with a renewed sense of excitement, sparkley earrings, and daisies in my hair. The Charity Ball itself was beautiful, the swing music was great, and everyone looked **stunning**. And I still can't get over how neat it was to have multiple dance partners who took my inexperience in stride and still managed to make me look like I knew what I was doing!

*The Rose Tea today was so pretty. It's late at night, my vocabulary is slowly depleting, and I'm running out of flowery adjectives. But it was really nice, and the tea was delicious. Yum!

*I'm trying to figure out whose idea it was to have the InterVarsity Barn Dance on a PATIO this year, and where I can send in my comments and complaints. Just kidding. But let's be honest here. Patios are for barbecues and such. The word "patio" does not send visions of square dancing and hay bales running through my head. Perhaps I'm being picky. But I think last year's venue was an excellent choice.

*My brother got called up to play for Varsity Soccer last week, played in half of his first Varsity game ever, and after being put in, promptly assisted on a goal to help the team win. I'm a proud sister.

*If you haven't heard yet, I have a goldfish. His full name is George Gaylord Churchill III (or just George -- Jorge, for any Spanish-speaking marine enthusiasts), and he's residing at the Mu Alpha house in a tank with Savage and Killer, my roommate's fish. If you stop by the MA house, you should go and visit our fish. You can tell which one is George because he's orangey-gold and looks normal. Kristin's fish are normal, too, but they don't look it.

*I'm really sleepy now.

Perhaps I'll do some more blogging soon, since my mind is *full* of some new ideas and deeper thoughts and random rants and raves I'd like to express... but for now, I think I'm off to indulge in some much-needed REM cycles. Finally.

Good.night. Friends.
