Updates!

Nothing exciting really, I just updated the look and some of the content of my blog. I found it blog-worthy ;)

It Feels Good to be Back

I have been back from my vacation for a little over a month, but with recruitment and school to attend to right when I got home I haven't had a moment of free time. I miss my friends and I am sorry to all of you for being so busy. However, now that Monday is over I am finally free at last! Recruitment is over! I can have a life again and I can be an Alpha Xi again, it is a great feeling because I missed my sisters dearly. Now I am super excited about all the baby xi's, they are so eager and cute. We got some amazing girls so it was all worth it.

Now, I can focus on school, family and friends. It feels good to be back.

I just ate a fortune cookie for breakfast....

I don't know if it is that fact that I just moved and really have no food or if it is that I am too lazy to go downstairs and get cereal, but the fortune cookie next to me started to look pretty good around 9:30 am. So I ate it! I wonder what else is unboxed in my room thatis edible??

Anyway, I am all settled into the townhouse for those of you who were wondering when I was moving or what part of the transition I was in. Basically all of my stuff is here but none if it is in its correct place. We still have half a fouton downstairs and boxes in the garage preventing us from being able to park our cars inside. And we haven't set up our utilities yet, so no cable or paying for our own water and electricity, however I am able to steal internet from my boyfriends house two doors down lol. Oh well, eventually we will get this place into normal living capacity. For now everyone is welcome to drop by and visit/check out the new place (this is your formal invitation). Come visit the mess, and ME =)

"A Good Woman"

A good woman is proud.
She respects herself and others.
She is aware of who she is.
She neither seeks definition from the person she is with,
nor does she expect them to read her mind.
She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
A good woman is hopeful.
She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true.
She knows love, therefore she gives love.
She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.
If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance.
She knows that she will at times have to inspire others
to reach the potential God gave them.
A good woman knows her past, understands her present
and forces toward the future.
A good woman knows God.
She knows that with God the world is her playground,
but without God she will just be played with.
A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past.
Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love...

When we are too old for myspace...

I've been thinking what it will be like many many years from now when we are old. Will we still use myspace and facebook? The concept sounds really odd to me. I mean I can only imagine that we will be joinging groups based on what rest home we live in like, "Residents of Shady Manor"or by what medication we take, "Seniors for Coumadin" or even "If 100,000 people join this group I get a hip replacement." But even before that, like when we are in our 40's and 50's will these things still be used in our lives? I do think that they are pretty convenient to use to keep in touch with people. I don't think any of us will be lonely in our old age that's for sure. What do you guys think, will we be using myspace and facebook after our 20's?
