This weekend/week was super busy. First, it was homecoming
week! This is always something that is really exciting because I feel like
since my high school didn’t have football I kind of missed out on that. All
week the sororities and fraternities were working on different competitions for
homecoming including lawn decorations, banner competitions, a float for the
parade on Friday, and other things. All the decorations have to do with the
theme which was “Every Day is a Hog Holiday.” AOII’s holiday was Cinco de Mayo
which we referred to as Cinco de Hogo.
Other holidays included Christmas,
Thanksgiving, New Years, 4th of July, Valentines day, and Mardi
Gras. All of the houses did a GREAT job. Congratulations to the ladies of Kappa
Delta and Phi Mu for winning the homecoming competition!
After the homecoming parade and pep rally we had a date dash
function that was themed “Throw down for your Hometown.” Of course I don’t have
anything from high school here so I borrowed a gloriously sequined twirling
uniform from my friend Taylor. We all got ready at the house together and then
headed to the function. It was a blast…until I discovered that I had broken out
in hives! Needless to say I decided I needed to leave. My friend Mary left with
me and helped me find a Benadryl and make sure the hives went away as quickly
as possible. We concluded that the hives were from a mix of an allergic
reaction to the sequins/fabric/whatever it was washed in and being incredibly
hot. It was the strangest thing! As soon as they showed up they were gone. I took
a shower and the Benadryl and they went away very quickly and never came back. Hives
aside, the function was a blast!
Today I started working at my new job! I am now a member of
the Savoy Tea Company crew and I love it! The drive to Rogers kind of stinks
but the job is very fun so far and my bosses and people I work with that I have
met so far are very nice. The atmosphere is great. Organized, clean, friendly,
welcoming, and fast paced. Just like I like it. It is very easy to learn, and I
am very excited to see what this has in store for me.
