This month has been seemingly less exciting, filled with a lot of study and practicing. But there have also been some big discussions - we will get to those.
I sent out over 50 Sincerely Yours letters. Thank you to everyone who has donated. It's an amazing place to utilize your giving spirit!
The Give Thanks Annual Walk, was another St. Jude activity. There were a ton of TriDeltas that met at Power & Light in Kansas City. We cheered on participants as they walked for cause!
After The Give Thanks Annual Walk, I met Mom, Aunt Megan, Luke, and Luke's friend at Lego Land. P.S. You can't get into LegoLand unless you are young or with a child. So, that was awkward. After LegoLand we went to Crown Center for the Crayon Restaurant (I know, 'why not Fritz's?' because the line.)
For Thanksgiving, I got to go to one of the most beautiful places in the continental U.S., the Ozarks. We watched the Macy's Day Parade, the dog show, and listened to grandpa snore.
The weekend after Thanksgiving, Mom and I went to the Plaza to do a little shopping and then to P&L to watch my favorite Christmas tradition, A Christmas Carol. Mom and I caught a taxi to take us to the production, it dropped us off about a block and half from our hotel, we ran up to the box office, we were just in time to see them closing down the ticket office, we had gone to the wrong location. SO we ran back to the hotel, caught a different taxi, I had to pull up the location on the GPS, it took us back to the Plaza and to the UMKC campus. We ran inside just in time to catching the beginning of the play. The production was amazing, a good round house production for the holidays! We attempted to find a way out of the UMKC and after waiting 30 minutes for a cab, we decided to ask for help. The lady we asked help from ended up driving us back to our hotel! It was an adventure. (That story may have been funnier in real life).
studying, studying, studying.....
Chandler and I got to get all dress up and fancy for Tri Delta's Semi Formal Semi Real Fake New Years party. We went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant and sat with some of our favorite people. We got the venue and ate a little more, followed by some intense breaking in the of the dance floor (dancing). Nick got a little crazy out there.
study.study.study.study.study.study.study.study.study.study.study.
'Twas the night before Stop Day and all through the town, there were girls out a partying and boys out a watching. But amidst all the crazy was a pledge family dinner, all cooked and prepared by Nicolas Faust. I'm done with the weird story telling now. But it really was a lot of fun. We all sat down to a nice little dinner, a 'clean' game of Never Have I Ever and a some Cards Against Humanity.
Now, as mentioned news! This timeline now brings us up to date, FINALS WEEK. I don't have an 'final exams' and most of the grade are already determined. I am fairly certain that I will end this semester with a 3.36, which keeps my cumulous GPA at 3.3. (Not as high as I was hoping for, but I learned more than just class material this semester like 1) go to class 2) go to lab 3)set an alarm for the same time every day 4) go to class 5) probably go to class.
Next news, next semester when I come back to campus I will be a member of the KU Freshman Leadership Council, this is a group of 25 students that submitted applications and were selected by a committee. We will meet once a week and attend leadership conferences and skill building workshops. I am incredibly excited to learn more. Next semester I will continue as the Assistant New Member Educator for Delta Delta Delta, I may even get a chance to help some new girls! I am incredibly excited for all of the positive things coming way. I will also be back at the Special Olympics again, this time as a coach for the Douglas County cheer squad as well as one of the basketball teams. This has become a huge passion and I love working with these amazing people. There are so many things that you don't understand about working these this group of people that everyone needs to know. I would love to talk to anyone interested in learning more or anyone wanting to get involved with the Douglas County Special Olympics! But along with this news, I have made some important discussions and done some planning.
Next semester I will begin my long and difficult trek toward becoming a neurologist. I have decided to study behavioral neuroscience while completing KU's recommended pre-medical classes. I will take the M-CATS the summer before my senior year. Along side of my discussion to major, I have selected a minor, I will apply for my minor Spring of 2015, in Applied Behavioral Sciences. I am also hoping to finish my KU Arts Certification, which I have already started (as well as my minor). I am 3/12 hours into my Arts Certification and, at the end of Spring 2015, I will be 9/18 hours into my minor. Thank you family, friends, and advisors for your help in helping me make a decision on where I want my future to go!
As always, thanks for reading. I love y'all and I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!
(Future) Dr. Maddison Majeski
P.S. I may or may have an end of the year post, depending if I am feeling postie or not!
