The semester thus far.

So far, I've had quite the journey.
I've come what I came here to do--I'm making a 4.0, I've made a ton of new friends, I'm now a member of Delta Zeta and Fashion Board, and I've adopted a healthier lifestyle.
I've made a ton of new friends here--in particular, Jordan (my roomate), Natalie, Krystin, and Lauren. Of course, there are a LOT of others! Those are just the four that stand out in my mind the most.
My sorority sisters are fabulous--everyone is so down-to-earth and easy to get along with. I immediately felt accepted. We have, arguably, the most diverse sorority on campus--we have girls from the North, the South, blondes, brunettes, redheads, tall girls, short girls, and every major you can think of, from pre-med to neurological science to public relations to fashion merchandising. We all love to have fun though, and we all love each other!
I haven't really had any negative experiences (except the E-Z DZ thing, obviously--see "an open letter), and the ones that have been slightly negative have turned out to be positive things or just a good story to tell people!
The one thing I really want to focus on going into the second half of the semester is being more regimented about going to the gym and eating healthy. I've made a promise to myself that I will go four times a week (not hard--Sunday-Wednesday night), and that I will take a least one pilates class and yoga class a week. I also would like to focus on completely cutting out junk food. I'm already doing a pretty good job at that--I don't drink regular soda, and I only eat one small dessert a day. I think leading a balanced lifestyle like that helps out not just your body, but your mind and emotional well-being as well.
Well, guess we're headed into the second half of the semester...here we go!

Keep it classy and fabulous!

P.S. Keep an eye out for my "personal challege" post...I'm going camping. In a tent. In the woods. With bugs. And dirt. I'm sure it shall prove to be quite interesting.
