Great experience!

I recently traveled with my sorority to Austint his weekend for our annual region weekend. It's a 2 day conference where all the Delta Zeta chapters in our region come together and attend different seminars about our sorority. One of the seminars was about our philanthropy which is the speech and hearing impaired, and we support the Painted Turtle Camp. This camp is located in California and is a week long camp solely for children with different disabilites. Each week in the summer is for a different disability. The lady in charge of the seminar discussed volunteering and showed us a short video of what goes on at this camp.
It kind of caught my interest simply because I have scoliosis and growing up and traveling to my childrens hospital frequently, I saw children who struggles so much with their disabilities and it was really touching and sad. After the weekend I'd thought a lot about it and decided I might want to go to this camp and be a counselor for a week. However, it's expensive to fly to California. Then this week in my sorority meeting, our president announced that Delta Zeta is going to sponser one girl in our chapter to go this summer and be a councelor!!! Hopefully that someone will be me...it seems like it would be a very rewarding experience.

Roger Clemens & Andy Pettitte

I'm a huge New York Yankees fan and all of this Yankee drama sucks! There's a bunch of "he said/she said" stuff going on so who's to say who's really telling the truth. The new buzz is about Clemons declaring in a press conference that Pettitte 'misremembers' Clemons prior statements about steroid and HGH use. Pettitte seems to be owning up to his HGH use and what I don't understand is why Clemons didn't do that in the first place?? So far, Andy doesn't seem to be suffering any serious repercussions as a result of him coming forward. Clemons on the other hand, could be facing a different fate because I think it's fairly obvous to the public that he used substances to enhance his baseball performance.
Another jaw-dropper was the fact that Clemons blames his wife for the use of HGH, which has been proved to be partially true, however, his involvement is still a strong possibility. It's now too late for him to tell the truth (if he hasn't already) because then he will get charged for pergery. Not to mention Brian McNamee's part in all of this. It seems that guy is screwed no matter what because that's who everyone is trying to blame for the players HGH and/or steroid use. I think the whole situation is a mess and the players either need to be punished or leave them alone and let them get on with theoff season.

My baby sister!

My parents were divorced when I was very young and my mom decided to get remarried four years ago. My step dad didn't have any children yet and so they decided to have another child and it was a girl. I have a young mom who's really in shape and healthy so it was ok that she was having another child. My sisters name is Bailey and she is adorable!!People constantly think shes my child because we look alike and she's so little. She just turned two on Friday and I went to my hometown to visit for the weekend. She's already going through that terrible two stage and my poor mother is being ran ragged.
My mom's side of the family is big and made up mostly of females. All of us girls (all my aunts, girl cousins, and my grandma) went to the Cheesecaje Factory on Sunday afternoon in honor of Bailey's birthday. Normally she is fairly well-behaved in public, however, this day I think she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Not only was my sister loud, cranky, and being bratty, she was flat out uncontrolable. My mother ended up having to eat her meal quickly and leave our lunch date with my sister because her loudness was ruining other peoples meals. I guess all young kids are like this but I feel bad for my mom haha! Before they left Bailey made sure she stuck her whole hand in her cake getting it all over my white shirt.

My Christmas break accident =(

Over Christmas break my family and I went to Houston on Christmas day to visit my grandparents. I drove my own car because I had to leave the very next day to return home to go back out of town with my father. I left my grandparents house around mid afternoon and stopped by CVS to stock up on water and snacks for the ride home. As I was backing out of my parking space I looked both ways, however, apparently I missed the new black Lexus flying behind me and I clipped the back fender. To give you some idea of how minor this was, I didn't even know I hit the gentleman and I continued to drive away until I saw him chasing me down on foot.

I turned around and pulled back in to talk to him and as I stepped out of the car I was confronted by this older grumpy man hollering at me like my parent. I was in no position to get an attitude with him because I did in fact hit his car. We traded information and I checked out both of our vehicles. My car was fine and there was a scuff on his left fender approximately 5 inches long and I was able to rub it out with my finger. I made the call to my parents and gave them the update and they said they would take care of it. To make a long story short the gentleman decided not to file it on insurance, however, he made my parents write him a $932 check for the damage!!!!! I was so mad because there was no way I did that much damage. I didn't do body damage and I didn't scrach the paint. I'm still mad about it but we couldn't have him file it on insurance because then my insurance could potentially drop me. Tiny fender benders like that are a pain!!!!!

Job Hunting!!

I'm really struggling right now trying to find a good job that is compatible with my schedule. I didn't have a job last semester becasue I saved all my money when I worked in the summer, however, that money ran out and now it's time to do something about it. My motivation is so I don't have to ask my parents for money anymore because they already pay for my car and school and I feel like I have to do my part. It's really difficult though to go to school and keep up with your studies while trying to maintain a job. I know plenty of students have jobs and attend school so I know I can do it to.

If anyone has any ideas on places I could potentially work at please let me know. I'm experienced with secretarial work, computers, and all that good stuff. I'm also certified in CPR and the heimlich for babysitting and what not. I'm looking to work maybe 15 or so hours a week. If anyone has any ideas whatsoever I would greatly appreciate it!
