Late Notice

So, this post is a little later than a month. My bad! But to explain how busy I have been is like explaining how the pyramids were built. So here we go:

There has been a lot of chapter meetings, leadership council meetings, new member meetings, jr greek meetings, and officer council meetings. Aside from those activities:

3/6 - I got to take the new member to Rock Chalk Revue (a series of skits put on by KU's greek community). I also learned what a "dad bod" was during this time. You could say it was useful knowledge. 

3/9 I got hired onto to work at Lawrence Memorial Hospital as a Guest Service Representative. Girl gotta make some money! 

3/11 Met with my new neurologist. Going throwing some medical testing, initial diagnoses is a "functional disorder". And recieving treatment for that. Also had my math midterm- that went awful. 

3/12 Got the flu from the flu shot. SHWEET!

3/13 Made it home to LBG. Did my laundry rapidly. Packed for CO. 

3/14 Embarked on the 12 hour journey to beautiful CO with Chandler, his family and his friends. We even got a chance to catch the end of the KU game in the car. 

3/15 First day of skiing! Ski school was awesome - they let me graduate! Then I tried to go down the mountain, I think it may have been fun(ny) for those around me, it was very stressful for myself. But with John and Gina's help I made it down the mountain. And I got a blistering face sunburn - who would have thought? A sunburn in the snowy mountains. 

3/16 Went skiing with "the moms" & Clayton. I got better. 

3/21 Returned home from CO. Did a lot of laundry.

3/22 Finished laundry. And came back to LFK. 

3/24 My first day at the hospital! Worked from 7am to 1 pm. Now a working girl.

Also got to meet the Provost of the University of Kansas. It was a great experience and he shared a breath of knowledge with the students at the outting.

3/25 Got the chance to support my favorite philanthropy in the world - St. Jude - at a Buffalo Wild Wing percentage night. Wings and helpin' kids, could it get any better?

3/26 Went to listen to a campus speaker talking about the drinking culture at KU and how we go about fixing the issue within it. It interesting and intuitive. 

3/28 First 12.5 hour day at work. Walked 8.5 miles. And served over 30 patients. My total hours this week was 31... Busy kid.

3/31 Present my Capstone Project at the FLC meeting. I got to share my experience and what I learned from FLC and to any high school senior reading this, it's a great program to get involved with. There is q lot to learn about leadership and yourself in leadership roles as well as about yourself as person.

4/2 Delta Delta Delta welcomed the recruits from Spring 2015 into the sisterhood! 

Now that we are all caught up - time to catch some sleep so I can get ready for the adventures that lie ahead for this month!

Love you,

Maddi 

MADNESS - & it's not even March

So, this blog post is really late for this month and I honestly didn't notice, I doubt anyone else did either. However, this month has been one of the craziest of my life {my mom may beg to differ}. But since the last post, I have started my second semester at KU. I'm really enjoying what I have been studying and everything else that has been going on, lets begin:

Thursday Jan. 22 - No I did not go see Obama when he came to campus. However, I was driving by when they loaded him into his armored truck, so I guess you could say I saw the president.

I also had my first meeting with the Freshman Leadership Council (FLC) which was a lot of fun and I am learning a lot about myself and my capabilities as a leader. *Speaking of Obama*

Saturday Jan. 25 - As everyone one of the my recent blog post mentions, I am still working with the Douglas County Special Olympics, one of my opportunities this month was the chance to take the olympians and meet the KU Men's Basketball team, which was amazing. The athletes rotated from station to station and practiced drills and even had little competitions with the players - while they rotated I took pictures with the players. It was an amazing opportunity and I really enjoyed everything that day had to offer.

Tuesday Jan. 27 - I found out that my pledge uncle Nick will be interning because he's a hot shot architect student and worked really hard! So congrats Nick! Also, D.C. certainly does have cheesecake and Starbuck, that was the first concern before I knew the location.

Wednesday Feb. 4 - Delta Delta Delta finally got new members for me to assistant-new-member-educatorate! We added three girls and they are so much fun to work with and educate! DLAM

Sunday Feb. 8 - Was the birthday of my best friend and dearest rival, Jessica Brummel! Sorry I couldn't see you!

Thursday Feb. 12 - I met with a group of over 24 amazing greek freshman, we got together to talk about what it is like to be in the greek community in an effort to link the greek sorority houses together. It was fun and gave a better look at life at the other houses and interesting things that they have planned for the next semester.

Friday Feb. 13 - The Douglas County SO cheer and basketball got to participate at the Lawrence Freestate game, the cheerleaders got to cheer alongside the Freestate cheerleaders and the basketball players got to play at half time with students as the refs. Again, I love all of the support the community has for their amazing SO program and I'm so thankful to be a part of it!

Saturday Feb 14 - For Valentine's Day, all I wanted was to lay in bed with Chandler, watch the projector, and eat Chipotle. Needless to say, Valentine's Day was perfect! Thanks boo!

Sunday Feb. 15 - Tri Delta had their officer retreat. It was cool to hang out with other people in Delta and talk to them about their position and just get a better feeling for what goes on behind the scenes.

Tuesday Feb 17 - I had my first job interview since arriving to Lawrence! Wait for it.....

Thursday Feb 19 - I drove down to pick up mom from a procedure. Chandler and I now really enjoy Monopoly Millionaire and of course Toys R Us!

Sunday Feb 22 - The Douglas County Special Olympics played in their first basketball tournament of the year. I coached Jayhawks 4 who came away with a 3rd place medal and the cheer team who came away with a gold medal in their division. I have far too many stories to share on this blog, but if you really want to hear them, call me, beep me, message me, etc.

Monday Feb. 23 - The world's best big planned an amazing philanthropy event for St. Jude's Reseach Hospital: "Mac Madness." A ton of people came to the Delta Shelta to eat Noodles & Co Mac N Cheese and watch KU basketball. Sucky as it is, KU lost to KState. But the Mac N Cheese was good and the profits were awesome, so thanks to everyone who came, and a huge shout-out to Allison!

That brings us to today:
Tuesday Feb. 24th - Woke up this morning for a job shadowing at the hospital. Hope you're still waiting....
One of Allison's presents for big appreciation week came in (I really hope you are reading this, if not, I'll know) ;)
I got to serve my first patient today - still waiting...
Ate Chipotle
Went to FLC.
David called! I GOT THE JOB!
Ate Chipotle for dinner,
Did math homework.
Getting ready to go to Delta for some studying.


Overall this month has been crazy, but I have learned to function under the madness. I have also decided that along with this month blog, I am going to start posting about random things and ideas. I watched a friends vlog yesterday and I am interested in trying different blogging.

So, until next month...

I love you

New Year! New Sleep Schedule!

With 2014 solidly closed, it's now time to take on all the exciting new adventures that lie ahead of me for the next year.

But 1st. The last month in review...
I finished finals and ended my first semester of college with a 3.49, which is higher than I believed!

Dad & I drove to Omaha to see my grandma and grandpa Majeski.

My mom and I flew to AZ to see my big sister. While there we went to a cowboy cookout in the middle of nowhere (it was supposed to be a sleigh ride, but there was no snow). We also went to TOP Golf (lots of fun, definitely recommend trying that). And Hot & Juicy (a crawfish boil).

On New Years Eve, Chandler and I didn't see a ball drop, instead we were staring at Pitbull's sweet yacht!

I watched multiple movies, including; Selma, Interstellar, and Gone Girl. They were all amazing, but Selma was my favorite for sure! Even had me all teary eyed!

I went through some medical testing after blood work showed my white blood cell count was low. The doctors concluded that I just had a lower white blood cell count slightly out of the normal spectrum.

And to finish out winter break, Chandler and I went and saw the Harlem Globetrotters at the Sprint Center! It was so much fun! They are so entertaining, no matter what the age!


This post would be super interesting, but just getting back from Winter break and trying to write about what I did the whole time, I didn't do much... I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK!

In the next year:

I'm incredibly excited for this semester to start:
I will begin my path toward the MCATS and taking math classes again.
I get to see all of my amazing sisters and friends from Lawrence!
The suite got to welcome a new roommate.
I declare my minor within the next couple months.
I go to Disney World after finals!
I attempt to workout once in a while/ hopefully at least twice a week! (being a college kid is hard!)


That is all I have this month! Next month will have more information for you, this is has been a very relaxed month.

i love you guys!
