So summer 1 is about to come to a close. It has been SOOO much fun! Yes, Microbiology stunk like crazy, it was hard, and I STILL don't know my unknown, or if I passed. (I think I did though...) Living with Krista and Erin has been a real treat for me. They are so much fun, and they are easy to live with. I'm going to miss them so much. Krista is getting married next summer, which is exciting, and Erin will graduate and start gruaduate school, and I will finish nursing school and we'll all move on with our lives. Erin and I were talking about our old lunch clique we use to have: Andy, Casey, Erin, Annie, Shelley, Rachel McKinzie, Roach, Jenny Johnson, me, Mona, Stacey and Vanessa. Now look at all of us. Andy is married and living in Florida soon to be a youth minister in St. Louis. Casey is about to get married in August and finish out his schooling to become a preacher. Erin will graduate and get her master's at Harding. Annie doesn't even go to Harding anymore. Rather, she is back in Florida, working on her pre-PA degree (as far as I know), and is being missed terribly by her suite and adopted suite. Shelley is back in Florida also working on her physical therapy degree, and will soon go to the doctrite program to become Dr. Shelley Bennett. Rachel McKinzie is about to get married in August (same day as Casey actually..but not TO Casey. ) She is marrying the Arkansas admissions advisor for Harding and will continue to get her diatetics degree and will graduate next May. Roach is...well, I believe she is working on her pre-physical therapy degree, and I believe is wanting to move back to Texas after she graduates. Jenny is working on her education degree and is graduating soon. She wants to teach little kids. Mona is back in Florida also, working on her speech pathology degree at FSU. Stacey is still my roommate-and my favorite at that. We're so alike sometimes it's scary. For instance, we both got rid of our facebooks on the almost exact same day-and for the exact same reason WITHOUT talking about it with one another. She is working on her speech pathology degree and will graduate December 08. Vanessa has now been married ONE YEAR!!! wow! She will graduate in December with an education degree. I am working on my nursing degree, and hopefully, if I can pass Microbiology will start my 2 year nursing degree starting in August. I tell you readers (all 2 of you...) that to say this: life goes so fast. Here we are, all of us about to graduate (some later than others...) and a lot of us are getting MARRIED!! When did we get old enough to get married??!! Things have changed so much. Already I've started talking to my parents about where I'm moving when I graduate- back to Nashville probably, though after visiting Knoxville I absolutely loved it. I am going to miss everyone so much, and I hope that we will all be able to stay in touch. I didn't write this to bum you out, and I hope it didn't. Just to make you think...I should start writing on this more often...it's a stress reliever definitely!

PLEDGE WEEK is finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo excited. Last night when we told the new members that one of them didn't complete the requirements and to leave, all of them thought it was them...it was so sad. Yet when we got inside and started to all laugh and start to have fun together and make fun of the VPs, all was right with the world. These girls are so much fun, and so spiritual. I think they'll be a great asset to the club.

I really wanted to do more with Alpha Tau, but being president I couldn't just leave Kappa Gamma. I am so excited about Alpha Tau's pledge class this year. This is the first pledge class to come through since I've been queened and I feel like I really am already close with a few of them. They are SO MUCH FUN! I can't wait to hang out with them after class, and sit by them at the meetings and go to functions with them. I'm so blessed to be a part of 2 wonderful clubs.
