So my 120 page research paper is due next wednesday the 29th of November. Wow I can't wait to be done. Though I still have about 30 pages left to do this weekend its finally coming together. I can't believe it. My other really hard class this term was writing for the media. I had to pass the Language Skills diagnostics test (LSDT) last year to get into the class and if you get more than 2 grammatical mistakes on a paper in this class you get an automatic F. Well ontop of my research paper and working 15 hours a week i managed to pull off all B's and maybe some A's on my papers which i'm pretty damn proud of. I wrote a profile on my cousin Erin and it turned out really well my first draft of it i got a B + so i will be getting an A on that. its nice to know I am a decent writter. It gives me something to look forward too.
anyway amongst all this crazy school work i was approached at my barn dance prefunk (while i was wasted) by some seniors in my sorority. They all told me I should apply for Panhellenic VP of Recruitment ( I would run ALL of SORORITY RECRUITEMENT FOR UofO) I thought they were crazy, it wasn't something i saw me being capable of. Well the seniors kept encouraging me and telling me i could do it, so i applied. I had to give a 3 minute speech on what i wanted to do with the position, answer 2 minutes of questions. So I did it. I ended up getting the Position. Its kind of a really big deal. and its weird. I guess i've always looked up to older girls in positions like this and just seen them as the older girls who were ready and fit these positions perfectly. its weird to think that is me now. I am going to be a senior next year, I'm just as old as anyone else who would have thejob.
So this job is going to keep me in eugene this summer. I have to run year round recruitment I am actually holding a work shop right when we get back from winterbreak for Continuous open recruitment, with all of the recruitment chairs. its weird to think i'll be in charge. I have to interview and pick a staff, run Fall Formal recruitment next fall, run greek sneak peek, intermingle, introducktion, week of welcome just when i thought my life was going to calm down it picks up. its weird when you odn't really have confidence in yourself to accomplish something, but others do.
