I am using a different backround color for my entry because tho the yellow is pretty, it makes my eyes hurt.

I have a place to live next year! Yaaaaaay! Well, probably. This made me so happy when i found out this weekend cause i thought i was going to get screwed and end up alone in the dorms for a third year. Two years of dorm life is fine, but three is too many. Anyway, its a six bedroom, so, yes, i may be having 5 female rommates which will be absolutely crazy. And i dont know the girls very well, but the one i know best is SO nice and is doing em a big favor by asking me if i wanna live with them cause the house is cheap and they arent going to make me pay rent while i am in London, which is GREAT! The only roadblock is that two of the girls that are supposed to be in on the deal dont know if they want the house so if they dont we need to find two more or at least one more roommate. So i am hoping they will decide they like it. The thought of decorating a house is already exciting me.

Well, that is my news for now. I thought id share my happiness with all of you! Miss you all! Happy bday court!!!

Hi all! I have no excuses for my lack of xanga entries, because this week has been pretty easy. It was GREAT, especially since last week was sooooo crazy! I has sorority recruitment for 8 straight days and on top of that an ISOM test, which i got a 72 on and, i am getting sick. Friday night at rush i almost passed out and had to run into our suite kitchen and sit down on a cooler for 40 miunutes. I was crying and i felt awful. It sucked. But, that week is over, and DZ now has 23 new and awesome baby turtles! They are all really sweet girls so we are very happy with that, plus the fact that we made quota, plus one! So this week I have been taking it pretty easy. I had a chem test yesterday, which i think went pretty well. Next week i have a paper due, and my first econ test, which i am so scared about that i have gone into shock and therefore im feeling ok, cause i am feeling pretty numb about it . Oh well.

My fall break it Oct 22-25. It sounds like most of you have it the week before, but if you will be in town those days, let me know. I really like andreas idea about all of us meeting somewhere one weekend. We should definately try to arrange it. I am going to zionsville for the night friday to see my dad, which is exciting since its only the second weekend ive had so far this year where i have been able to get away. The soroity keeps me sooo busy. I am also getting pumped up for my visit to ND in October! (get ready monica, it'll be fun!) I wanna come visit everyone else sometime too, lemme know and we can try to find a weekend with no DZ events! Between this semester and next I hope to visit more of you. And remember, it is almost birthday season! I am excited for my 20th, tho i am pretty sure i have a chem test the next day. Sigh. Thats life. Any more news to share...........mmm, dont think so........Tylers super as always, he gave me flowers last weekend when i was feeling so crummy . Well, i think thats all for now. I love you guys, and i miss you so much!

Hey all, i have to leave in like 5 minutes so this will have to be quick, but i havent written on the site yet so i wanted to take a chance to. School is great! Classes suck, but they are pretty easy so its not too too bad. If you have gotten the journal you know about all of the run ins with fred i have had (if not you will get to!). I had a meeting with the international programs center two weeks ago, and most likely i will be going to london fall semester next year. my only obstacle is paying for it, so if i get that figured out, im good to go! Tyler is probably going too so that will be fun (any of you that may be abroad that semester, we will have to get together to celebrate my 21st!). Sorority recruitment starts next week, which i am SOOO excited about, but it is going to be super crazy. Well, i must get going, i have my DZ new memeber meeting, and then two hours of recruitment practice. TTY all later!

Love,

Shannon
