"There's no reason to do anything but fun!"

I know it's long past time for an update, which means nobody other than my mom is probably still checking this. That's ok. I can still post a lovely update.

I've somehow gotten really busy. That always happens, no matter how many or how few credits I have. I think I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't busy. I only have 12 credits this semester, but 3 jobs (and I'm working at least 8 hours at each of those jobs).

Let's see. Major life updates....nada. Having my own room is nice, and it hasn't gotten too lonely. I always have my door open, which means I am literally never alone. I had to stop writing and come back, since I had about 8 girls in my room, hanging out for a few hours. That's probably my favorite part of living on the floor. I never have to be alone if I don't want to.

Tomorrow, I am spending the day in Appleton with Amanda. One of my sorority sisters left Ripon to go to cosmetology school--tomorrow she is giving Amanda a pedicure...and she is dying my hair :) Just a few shades darker, nothing too dramatic. But I'm crazy excited.

Next weekend, I will be gone all weekend for a conference on grad school. I'm ridiculously excited. I'll take all the help anyone can give me.

Oh, I've started up with Big Brothers Big Sisters again. My little is at a different school, though still in Ripon. So far we've been having fun--I brought him some pictures of my travels :) Also, we keep playing tag at recess. It's fun, but not so much fun when everyone wants to tag you. They think it's unfair because I'm bigger--and I pointed out that bigger doesn't mean faster. Except in this case, it does. My legs are about twice as long as theirs. Is it sad that I get satisfaction from being able to escape from 3rd graders? Because I do. It's exhausting though, and I tried to sit out for a little while last week. My little was very disappointed in me, and had some brief words of wisdom--I think they apply to every part of my life--"There's no reason to do anything but fun!" I think he's exactly right, too.
