Whew...are we really more than half way through September? How did that happen! I suppose its a result of a pretty crazy start to the school year. Life in Wilmington is still wonderful. ACE has been rockin' it so far this semester with some amazing programs and had 113 students apply for the first PIT Crew (Programmers In Training) which started this week. We selected 60 students to go through a 5 week new member program for ACE to prepare members to be contributing and active members of ACE. We are excited to begin preparing and planning for the annual spring show (which may also double as my 25th birthday party this year based on date availability... who doesn't want 2500 people at their birthday party?). Overall, work is great. I am continually thankful to those at JMU who helped me through my graduate program to prepare me as best they could for this job. Hopefully, I'm making it happen. I survived my 90 day evaluation and still have a job so obviously something is going right :)
I have been able to do more than just work though. Last weekend I visited my best friend/soulmate Lauren Kennedy in Clemson, SC. As many of your know LK and I hadn't seen each other since April which is was crazy considering I'm not sure we've ever gone more than a month apart since we met. Needless to say it was great to spend time together. We got to see Clemson crush Presbyterian in football which was great. For those of you know don't know 1.) The beginning of Clemson football is the most exciting 25 seconds in college football 2.) they lasso in the middle of the clemson cheer EVERYTIME THEY SCORE. I loved it..and seeing LK :) Luckily she'll be here Thursday and we get another fun weekend together in VB for Angela Hendrick's wedding.
Sorority bid day was this past Monday. Helping with sorority pref night confirmed that its the same conversation every where you go. The same tears, same drama, same T-shirts, same bid day cheers. However there is something equally comforting about that. It was also wonderful to hear "Deep in my heart I love my ADPis" being chanted. I was excited to see ADPi do well in recruitment and pick up some all-star upperclassman I've had to opportunity to get to know since I've been here.
TV starts again this week! I act excited like I'm that big of a TV watcher, but I'm hoping to become one. After watching the Emmy's I realized I am missing out. So far I have set the DVR up for: Greys, Glee, Private Practice, Modern Family & My Generation. Am I missing something I should add?
Also, for those who didn't get to see, the communion picture made an appearance this week, a favorite of many of my friends:
