Almost Over

Oh how the time flies. It seems as though summer is almost over. June went by in blaze of glory with work and Alpha Sigma Tau convention. So after all my worrying it turned out that I was just being a bit dramatic. Because you see it seems as though running her own company and serving as National Vice President for ΑΣΤ didn't leave Shelly much time to respond to every email I sent. So in the end it was pointless, because I was an intern after all and it was amazing. I met so many amazing women, and a few awesome men, and made so new friends that I hope to keep in touch with through out my lifetime. It was so inspiring to see some of the women there, especially some of the ladies in their 80's and Mrs. DeCamp who was attending convention for the 25th time! I so want to go in two years to Indy and see the new headquarters and all of the wonderful things that will happening there. It was also pretty cool because I was nominated for Convention Top Tau. No, I didn't win but it still rocked to even be nominated. :) Now I'm just ready to get back to UWA and get started on all of the wonderful things we have to share.

I sometimes wonder if I'm normal due to my strange desire to always be a school. I have been this way from a very young age, but it still eludes me sometimes. It's not like I'm a fan of homework or waking up in the mornings, but it just some that I've always wanted. Even though I do believe this will be the best year of my scholastic career....EVER!!! :))) I'm an RA again (which is not the highlight of my year, but I'm not sure what I would do with out it). I will be graduating on May 7, 2011!!! And boy am I ready. But before then I will be serving as the UWA Greek Council Vice President. I hope that the re-established council is able to boost our Greek system the way we want and deserve. I'm looking forward to a fun filled year before I tackled the real world and adult-hood.

I am all with out kittens now. Nala was adopted and so was Lizzy. Alabama passed away in a tragic accident. And when the couple came to get Nala they wanted Boy Cat too, but my daddy whom hates cats and has never let me have one wouldn't let them have her. He said that he knew I cared about it too much and just couldn't give her away. I almost cried when Momma told me. The very next morning Momma woke me up to tell me something was wrong with Boy Cat. I went to go get her and she had ants on her and looked like she hadn't eaten in days, though we fed her the night before. She had diarrhea and wasn't taking the food or milk I gave her. I dashed to Wal-Mart to find something for her but all of the cat items were out of reach due to our remodel so I was helpless and just stood there and cried until a guy told me to try pedalite for kids because I told him she looked dehydrated. I got home, fixed her a bottle and her wrapped in a towel trying to to get her to drink it. I was home for about twenty minutes when she died while I was holding her.

Robert and I haven't seen each other much, but yesterday I went to Tuscaloosa to see him. Gosh I didn't realize how much I miss him when he's gone. I can't wait until I get to spend time with him everyday. It seems like these next two years are just going to drag on. I can only hope they pass as quickly as this summer has.
