Let me be the first to say it - where the hell has July gone?! I feel like I have just moved to Murfreesboro - granted, I am going through HUGE Bridgewater withdrawal. Let me clarify - I am missing my BC family! Things aren't the same without seeing Jamie and family ever week - or lunch dates with James/Zach/Danielle/Abby. It is going to be so different without them by my side every day. I know I will find some new loves at MTSU but they won't replace them.
We have been spending all month doing AC training. Today was long! We did our official campus tour and then started talking about job expectations. I know this is a good move for me but I am starting to feel like it will be the same old shit.
HOWEVER - LDI last weekend was epic! I was so happy to get to get back into Alpha Sigma Alpha. Every time our wonderful facilitator said "you are a member of a strong sorority" I wanted to yell: HELL YEAH I AM! She was so epic and she was a sister!! She works for The Leadership Institute. Her WHOLE job is going around and teaching women how to be powerful leaders. What a wonderful job! She got to write the curriculum for our whole weekend. What a wonderful inspiration. I kept thinking about how much fun I had and how much I would love her job. I know I still have a lot of growth to do - but I think it will be important to keep moving in that direction. Who knows - maybe the next step after MTSU is a leadership/involvement office at some college. I have already made some connections with Greek Life to hopefully be involved that way.
I am just trying to keep a positive attitude and really make this adventure about me. I have been walking everywhere (SO GLAD I WENT TO A SMALL SCHOOL - THIS PLACE IS HUGE) and going for a nice run when I can. I am determined to have this be all about me. Now I just need to get out there and make some friends!
And Happy Mandela Day!
