Life on the Road

I know I went forever and a day without keeping you up to date with my life. Which is probably because I have so much trouble keeping track of what I'm doing, where I am, where I'll be tomorrow for my own sake, so it's hard to find the time to share it with others.

On September 23, I got to start traveling! I visited the Chapter at College of Charelston, which was so much fun. For all of you who have never been to Charelston before, you need to go! I know I haven't been to too many places in my life, but Charleston is by far my favorite. I stayed in a guest house just two blocks from Kings Street. Kings St. is this really long like main street that runs through town. It has every store on it you could imagine--Apple, Pottery Barn, Saks 5th Avenue, Lucky Brand, Abercrombie, and tons of little boutiques. If you want to get a better idea of what this street is, watch the Notebook. All of the scenes when they are walking down the street and hanging out outside the movie theater were all filmed on this street. The food there was also amazing.

After a few days in South Carolina, I flew down to Boca Raton, Fl. We just opened a new chapter there the week before I arrived, so I was there for the first Phi meeting and stuff like that.

After I spent a few days in Florida, I came back to my home away from home--Chapel Hill! I was only in Chapel Hill for a couple days, then I went to Wake Forest University, and now I am back in Chapel Hill. However, I head to High Point University on Thursday. I'll spend Sunday and Monday at Elon and then I fly home on Tuesday! I'm super excited! It's only been about 3 weeks since I've been home, but I've been doing a lot more traveling over these past few weeks than I started out doing, so it's taking some getting used to.

Since recruitment season is over, I have started my operations visits. Those are ones where I meet with each member of exec and other positions which the presdent wants me to meet with. I just get to sit and brainstorm with each member of exec individually. I am really enjoying hearing all of their great ideas, and I like when I give them an idea that they really like and want to implement.

That's about all that's been going on with me--just traveling and meeting with people. It's been a lot of fun, I can't wait to see what the rest of the semester has in store for me!
