Pre-Formal

Getting ready for formal is every sorority girl's best dream and worst nightmare come true. While formal is sure to be one of the best nights of the year, it can't get that way without some preparation. Here, I'll take you through, minute-by-minute, what goes on before formal.

2:30p - Say goodbye to ESLLC friends who are going away for the weekend. Run to my room to immediately get ready
2:31p - Assess the mess in my room and choose to ignore it (for the 100,000 time this month). Think about taking a shower. Get distracted by Facebook and Pinterest.
2:40p - DP comes by. Formal date drama. We're all hanging out on my bed and dealing with it. Moral of the story? Boys suck.
3:03p - Naptime
3:14p - Facebook status, "FORMAL TONIGHT! and what part am i looking forward to most? not wearing pants."
3:15p - back to napping. but for real.
3:17p - decide that watching GCB on Hulu counts as napping.
4:12p - Betty Crocker's friend arrives! Also, I stop watch GCB and decide I should probably get ready. Nap unsuccessful.
5:44p - Call restaurant to push back our reservation from 6.15 to 6.30. We can still make it, right?
6:28p - Leave to go to the restaurant
6:32p - Painting my nails in the car ride.
6:52p - Arrive at restaurant, have a delicious dinner, and nothing goes amiss.
7:50p - Go upstairs with Betty Crocker (who planned this whole evening!), see the space, and take some initial shots.
8:30p - Formal starts! Take pictures with everyone coming in, and dance the night away...

And that's basically what goes into all the hype about formal! It was so fantastic and Betty did a great job organizing it all :) I LOVE FORMAL!

Note to all sorority girls: frat kitchens are a scary scary place!

Some skiing adventures:

Skiing this year wasn't as good as other years. In fact, it was pretty sucky. When it did snow, it wasn't much and didn't last long. Sometimes you had to wait all day for it to even get soft enough to shred. And the few times we got powder, it was gone in a flash. Me and Steeze had a good day at Copper (below) and quaffed the fresh on the back bowls :)

 with steezy at Copper Mtn.

Went to Aspen for the weekend (Feb. 9-12):

We stayed with Oley's family - they are such awesome, nice, cool people! - and skiied fo' free one day and hiked a nearby mountain the other day.

me, stu, oley, and doug on top of Aspen Mtn.

Performed "Wannabe" at Gamma Phi-Oke with other ∆Zs:

We pulled it together at the last second. Good effort ladies :)

Discovered the magic of the song "Call Me Maybe" with Stu:

Finals week was just full of this song. And now it's in constant rotation in my playlists.

And that's basically my winter quarter! Spring has just started and I can't wait for all the fun times that are about to come...

She's alive!!!

OK, HI I'M HERE!
So so sorry for the lack of posts, uh, all year. I'm working on a few stories, tales, and updates for you all. In the meantime, see what I've been up to on Tumblr:

For now, HAPPY EARTH DAY! Betty Cocker, Liv, and I are out on the sun deck at Driscoll (the student center). Just soakin' up the sun and gettin' work done...

Tomorrow, I have my French class in the morning and Film Crit in the afternoon. During my break, Liv and I are thinking about coming back here for lunch and doing reading before class! I just love spring :)

xxo, S

P.S. I promise I'll be a better blogger/updater now!
