Don't Stop.....BELIEVIN!

One thing that is true no matter what school you are at is that...College students are BUSY!!

Last week was preceded by Family Weekend and I was more than thrilled to have my mom and dad come up from Springfield, MO where I'm from. That was really awesome. It was just my parents who came up because my three younger brothers were working on their homecoming floats and had cross country practices and meets and all those things that keeps high schoolers on the go. Anyways, although i had to work Saturday afternoon right after my parents arrived it was still really great to see them.
After family weekend was over, homecoming week began! Rockhurst and the Homecoming Committee always plan great events during the week leading up to homecoming to get us excited and to sort of give us a break from all of the studying and homework we do. Some of the things include a hypnotist, $3 movie night, and the week is concluded with Rockhurst Day which is an afternoon of fundraisers, free food and opportunities for Alumni to come back and celebrate. This year, my sorority Theta Phi Alpha hosted a fundraiser which was a lot of fun! It was called "Pie a Theta Phi" where anyone could buy a pie and throw it in our faces.
The Homecoming dance was the highlight of the week for me. My roommates and our dates all signed up to eat at the Hereford House for free before the dance. The event was sponsored by Residence Life and this year was their third year sponsoring the dinner. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS! And to top it all off...I LOVE to dance too! So a free meal and dancing often the perfect combination for me! Never do I like to leave a dance before the very last song has been played (something my boyfriend and I definitely disagree on sometimes)!

Now starts midterm week and this week doesn't look any less busy than last week! I have three tests this week, the Bibliography for my senior capstone paper due and no more time than I usually do. Thankfully though, the reward is that next week is fall break and that means...getting to go home for a few days! I can't wait.
