The First Post

I am creating this blog as a way to allow my friends and family to keep up with what is going on in my crazy college life.

As I'm sure you all can tell by the crazy amount of pictures I have uploaded lately, I am currently attending the University of Kansas as a Jayhawk. I am currently studying speech, language and hearing. I am also seeking a second major, currently leaning toward applied behavior sciences.If you are wonder, like my mother, why I am thinking about ABSC I will tell you; after completing the curriculum here at KU for their undergraduate degree you are able to take the national certification test to become an assistant behavior analyst (yes Uncle Andy, I know that this is on the condition that I study and pass the test). This career can be very rewarding in itself and can also help pay for graduate school, while I pursue my hopes of become a speech pathologist (this is subject to change I understand).

As many other pictures will inform you, I am also a new member of Delta Delta Delta - Theta Omega Chapter here at KU. I love the house that I am in and the girls are amazing. After receiving my bid card, the group of new members ran to a bus where we danced our way down Oxford St. before arriving at the Delta Shelta. A little over a week after that day, I was given my Big Sis. (Again, I'm sure you have seen the pictures).

I am also recently signed up to be assistant for the Douglas County Special Olympics Volleyball team - I can't wait to get started on that. I have been participating in a research study that requires me to push colored buttons, and I have recently signed up to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity here in Lawrence, KS.

Since I am here for schooling, I guess I could tell you about how that is going. Today was my very first test, if it was good you probably hear about it in another post. I have been taking a ton of quizzes. Many of which I have received 100% (studying does help, but so does open-note quizzes). I have been reading about all kinds of interesting things across my five classes (Physics of Speech, Intro to Child Development, Intro to ABSC, Language and Mind, Acting 1). My scene partner and I have been working on our atude for acting class and I have been studying like a mad woman for the tests I have this week.

This weekend is parents weekend, I can't wait for that. However, I will be missing Louisburg homecoming and all of my friends that are visiting home from K-State. But on the 21st KU starts its kick-off events for Homecoming, where Delta Delta Delta will be teamed up with ATO to take down the other Homecoming teams. (P.S. If you are reading this and have old t-shirts, jackets or blankets please send them to me, I'll give you my address at the end).

I do believe that is all that has happened this month.

Here is a list of the last couple months:
May 17th- Graduation (followed by trips to Mexico and Florida)
June 17th- Orientation for KU (signed up for all of my classes)
July 17th- Hanging on to summer as long as I could and working
August 17th- Move-in to the Dorms
September 17th -Here we are.
