Junior year is off to a good start...

October 2, 2011

Junior year started off really busy and hectic! First was getting used to my busy schedule; I had class every day, Thursday being the packed one, and then I had work for 3 hours. Aside from work and school, I also had to juggle family life and Greek life.  To update people on things, my cousin had her first baby and it was a very exciting thing especially since all my other cousins (who had children) had them in Guatemala. See my parents are from Guatemala and most of our relatives still live there so I have not really been involved in my cousins’ life so having my cousin here with a baby is exciting. I haven’t been around babies so I was a little hesitant to hold her but once I did, I didn’t want to let her go. But unfortunately I had to leave her and return to school. Rush week/Informal Recruitment was the following week so everything had to be ready. Informal Recruitment is one of those weeks that you are excited about but at the same time you want it to happen fast, because it’s tiring (BUT FUN!!) The week did go by fast and I enjoyed meeting new people. I also enjoyed welcoming 21 new Deltas to the family! It’s going to be an amazing semester and I am excited for the upcoming school dances (Toga and Splatter!). But for now I have to get ready for exams (yup I already have some!). So until next time readers!   -Marilyn
