Finals

ARE OVER!!!!

now lets all just pray that i made the grades to get into the Education Program!!!

Red Dress Gala

so last weekend was the gamma omegas first annual red dress gala. All the money raised that night goes to the Alpha Phi foundation which in turn donates the money to cardiac care. It was such a fun night, my mom, sister, and nephew all came to share this special night with me. This being my senior year it will be my last formal :( One of my very close friends Andrew was my date :) i have know him for almost three years, we went to France together.

So some new things have occurred in my life. I have become friends with this boy named Cody. the sad news is that he dated my friend from back at home for almost two years. Needless to say their relationship was not the best... blah blah blah we are just friends and i get this call from her the other night in hysterics, mind you she is engaged. well the rest of this story is pointless but it was just upsetting

so school is almost done for the semester HOLLA FOR ALLAH!!!!
now here is to the next year of my life to this school... i swear it feels like i am never going to get out of here alive!

Dear Life

so here is what i have been thinking as of late....
1) that God is a hilarious man... and i dont care for his jokes 15% of the time
2) life is going to throw you curve balls when least expected so watch out
3) good days are better than bad!!! but that is just an obvious fact

so today is the first round of the soccer finals and i cannot wait to watch the match between our MSU Soccer Boys and Incarnate Word(whomp, whomp)

GOOD LUCK BOYS!!!!

dunga does it best :)

FUTBOL!!!!

Oh M G!!!! I am so pumped for this soccer season! we are in the playoffs and our first round of games is on Thursday at 7pm... so if you are in town please come out and support MSU Men's Soccer.

Can I just say that it warms my heart that people really take notice to you when you go and support them.

Dear Stavi,
Make a Goal!! hahah too bad I am a sucker for Brazilians hahahha

Oh and a little note to our West Texas A&M Fans,
Culture yourselves, and class up a little bit :)

Jan Demas

So this woman that my family is very close to... I actually consider her my aunt, is in the hospital right now as we speak.. slowly dying. Holding on to that last hope that she might have a change at living. She was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday to remove liquid that had filled into her lungs. After the surgery she was induced medically into a coma. Her lungs are just shot completely to hell. One is not even working and the other is slowing stopping. She is currently on a respirator and sometimes this weekend the family has to make a decision whether or not to take her off.
This woman is truly a strong woman. She has been struggling with a cancer battle since i can remember. And you would never know it. She would never complain about feel bad, or ask for sympathy. This woman is so strong. She has a family and would cook them dinner every night. She has a loving husband who is being so strong right now.
When things like this happen to your family of course the first thing you question is how could God do this to people. But you know what i say to that. God gave this cross for Jan to bear because he knew that she was strong enough to take it on. This is a blessing in disguise. She is living her hell on earth to receive her grace after passing.
Please keep Jan and her family in your prayers. They need them right now

Football... the REAL Football

So soccer is now a huge part of my daily life!!! I look up stats on my fav. players and see how my teams are doing... well let me tell you what... my team is doing HORRIBLE!! I might need to find a new team j.k

On the good news side of life our MSU Men's Soccer team is having a fantastic season!!!! the boys I know on the team are doing such a great job!!

well thats all for now!!!

People in the Work Place

Just in general, it baffles me how unprofessional some people can be. You work in a Professional setting, you should be Professional. It does not take a college degree to make you a professional it should be about your attitude.

Today at the Major's Fair there was this woman who was at a table, and as a Professor was talking to a student about a certain major, this woman was chomping on gum. When i say chomping there is no room for exaggeration, this woman was making such major movements with her jaw i was waiting for it to detach its self.

So let's just say at work these past couple of days has been a living hell!!!
Apparently I hate poor people and only want to hang out with rich people.

And here is a letter for the set up crew.
Dear Set Up Crew,
You guys enjoy making my life a living hell. Funny thing is I like being around you guys. Talking about soccer and life in general. You are like a freaking clut of your own. You don't like new people in your little group. For example, Josh, you might know him by Jacob, well he is a fun guy to talk to because you three never work!!! Lets work on that :)

You have Unleashed the Beast

So one thing that really upsets me, is when people sit there and degrade me as a person.
I understand that you are jealous that people like me a whole lot more than you... that is understandable I would be upset too. But really do not sit there and tell people that I am a horrible person, and once confronted by me, run with your tail in between your legs, like a scared little puppy.
I am more of a leader on this campus than you will ever be. I have friends in high places. I do not sit around and talk crap about people and then lie about it.
You talk out of both sides of your mouth and play to your audience. That is a great quality of a President of an organization right?!?!
You should feel luck that I only have one more semester left in this chapter, because unlike you, I am going places with my life. I am making something of myself, and it is so sad that you cannot say the same thing about your life.
Green is a great color on you!!! Only you should not wear it all the time... it's flattering I promise that you wish you were me!!

Dear People,

okay seriously!!! some people really need to catch on... you annoy the shit out of me.
i know that its my fault for texting you back but i dont want to be rude and just ignore you but please realize that you annoy the poop out of me and tht it will never happen, one because you dated my sister, and two because you are immature!!!

okay so last week we had this mind reader come to campus, and it totally freaked me out!!!!
he had us write on a piece of paper our names, a sequence of numbers, someone only i would know, and then a quetion that i do not know the answer to... well he picked my name and boy was it freaky!!!! he could not see but he knew what was on the card... totally made a believer out of me :)

so this week is big/ little week and i cannot wait to see everyones faces when they find out who their big sister is!!! they will hopefully all be excited about it!!!!

dear CLB,
i am taking a little and it might just be you :)

sighting for the past few weeks....
TOO MANY TO COUNT, she is starting to get on my nerves

You turned my frown upside down!!

ronette!!!! your letter came in the mail today and it totally turned my frown upside down!!! i loved reading it and totally put myself in your shoes... personally i would hit the crazy if she is looking for a fight then a fight i would give her!!! she sounds annoying... and for that i am sorry to both you and danielle

i cant wait for you to come home!!!! only 11 more months to go :)

Grudges

okay so i have a problem... this is called grudges! It is something i am trying to work on i promise... but if people wrong me i find it hard to be nice because i start our friendship off with the utmost trust... and it is until you wrong me that our friendship is over... how horrible is that to say? i am my mothers daughter :) so please understand i am working on it!! i am trying to be more forgiving and less harsh... it is a process

so on a happier note Brett Michaels and the Captain almost got killed yesterday!!! HAHAH
my little LaRona was driving to class yesterday and they decided to meet in the middle of the street!! needless to say they almost got ran over!!!


Number of Sightings today..... 4

Stage Ruines Lives

the title should be enough for people to know.... that stage ruines peoples lives

first off i would like to say that some people are not the same person you thought they were!! This so called hot/sweet set up crew! NOT THE CASE!!!! they, with the exception of two, are the biggest d bags i have ever met in my life! you deserve everything you have coming to you in life!!! JERKS!!!!

next i would like to say that people make some really horrible choices at this place... i cannot be everyones mom how ever much i would like to be and sometimes you need to fall flat on your face and pick up the pieces.... im happy that things are now working out for you dont be that stupid EVER again

and lastly i would like to say that a certian someone who works in my office and has a title DOES have a life people!!!! hello just because she works for the prancer does not mean that she does not have a life... come on now

i would like the also mention that i am really considering getting my masters in higher education at the university of arkansas. the perk you may ask... they are going to pay for my two years.

okay so there is a little bit of time between the time i graduate and when i can apply for the masters program... thoughts right now... spend those four months in italy!!!!

Is that Brett Michaels???

okay so a life update... i want you all to pray for two people

first i would love the prayers for ronnie... she is in need of them, ronnie know that i pray and think about you every day and i love you very much. this is just a test of your faith and i know that you will pass with flying colors :)

second i would like you to pray for my friend who is having some girl troubles. he needs helping believing in himself and know that the right girl will come along and that she will want to be with him instead of this current girl who is stringing him along and it really is hurting me to see him so depressed

so here is a funny that i would like to share... there is a certain Brett Michaels on this campus... can you spot him??? hahahah well today i have heard of three different spotting and the funny thing is that brett was not wearing the usual bandanna but dressed up!! What the Duce Brett

so homecoming nominations come out today and i cannot wait to see if i made it for homecoming queen!!

oh and for those of you out there observing Ramadan only 13 more days!!

Thank you Debbie :)

so i was doing a project for my leadership class and i was asked to find three people who know and love me, and ask them to write how they see my strengths in me. This is what debbie wrote and i really think that is was spot on to who i am.... and i wanted to say thank you :)

ADAPTABILITY - you definitely can "go with the flow" or live in the moment. No question about it. I know that it is simply worthless to tell you something a week, or month out. Because, your plans adapt with the day. So, I need to tell you that day, perhaps an hour or two before, to be sure I am on your radar. It means you can be extremely fun - but also I'm sure poses a problem to your friends who want you to be planful. :)

COMMUNICATION - "you feel a need to bring events to life" - that is SO you! When you talk, it is a story, and it is an engaging story. Your body movements, your gestures, each story is BIG. You want your story to be remembered! It helps you connect with others, even those who don't know you very well. It enables to you to make someone feel connected to you through your story. When a person meets you, they remember you. :) Your presence is very lively!

RESPONSIBILITY - You want things you to do be worthwhile and done well. It bothers you if someone does something haphazardly or they lack follow through. You expect others to be responsible - and it frustrates you to the point of dismissing others when they are not. You don't want to commit to something unless you know you can carry it through. I think your Adaptability might get in your way on this one, because Responsibility wants to commit to things and see them done, yet Adaptability says "hey - let's just stop this and go here for the moment!!" Hmm - strengths in conflict?

POSITIVITY - You always have a smile, you always brighten a room you enter. You carry energy and enthusiam wherever you go. You believe a person must always have a sense of humor about life. Life is inheritly good. I think your faith compliments this - God is good, life is good. Woo hoo!

HARMONY - This one is a bit harder. I don't see it right away. I think you do like debate and antagonism. Still, I also know when you speak of your family and those closest to you - you want peace. You see persons similarities, not just their differences. You know that we are all created differently, yet we have common threads that bind us, and should help us go forward as one. I think you do want harmony for those whom you allow close to your heart. I just think it is hard for you to let someone close to you, really close to the real Michele. So, you don't mind stirring it up a bit in those who you can hold at a distance. Once they warm their way in close to you, I think then you desire the "lets all get along" attitude to prevail.

The ostrich that wont go away!

okay for many of you have noticed that i like to put up pictures of giraffes. well it would be great if the freaking ostrich was not in the picture!!!!!!

GO AWAY you are an ugly animal.....

TGIF

what a wonderful program was that on ABC... i can remember that it had the best shows on this friday program... i can also remember that when i would get into trouble my mom would punish me by saying that i cant watch TGIF... back then to a 6-13 year old that is devistating.

so friday was a very exciting day. i had work at two... i slept all day thank you 50 cent drinks at stage!!!!! and it was the first home soccer game... now i would like to explain myself i have fallen in love with the sport of soccer... not because there are some very nice looking guys on the team but because i have been in europe on two different occasions and both times all i did was watch soccer matches. you really start to love the sport. while i never played as a youngster, and yes i made fun of this sport for a good while... i really love to watch it... the MSU Mustangs took on the A & M International Dirt something of another, not really important and we won! it was so exciting to watch... now what was not exciting was the fact that one of their players in like the 20th minute of the first half took out one of our players and he ended up in the ER with a possible fracture. Note that this player was automatically ejected from the game... good move ref :) Oh on a happy note Estaveo or however you spell his name scored a goal :) and Ahmad got an assist it was a good game for the set up crew :)

after the game bolser and i went down on the field like the little soccer girls and asked the guys for their autographs!!! it was hilarious first we asked Estaveo and he thought it was a joke... well funny thing mr brazil it was a joke but we wanted to do it anyway.... we got like 4 or 5 signatures it was just funny to see these guys reaction to me and kristen asking for their signature... and to take a picture with them... you would think i was asking for their first born!!! but i got a great picture with Estaveo and Jermey and then snagged a picture of Ahmad Pete and Estaveo!!

all in all it was a great Friday... and today is Saturday and my dad and little sister are coming to visit me!!!!! i havent seen them in so long it will be fun! i think we are going bowling :)

Dear Rain Puddles....

so some funny things have happened in the past two days...

first off it has been raining non stop for the past three days... i feel like i am in the twilight book minus the sexy vampire coming to rescue me from myself. so because of this rain the campus becomes flooded and thus certain surfaces become slick. so let me set up the picture for you... i was just getting out of my foundations of political science class... while in class i had texted Nathalia telling her that i was going to bust my butt today... well to make a long story short, i came out of class talking to some of the new girls and slip!!!!! there michele goes into the large puddle of water. I was soaked!!!! and all you hear is people gasping in air, and saying oh my god was that michele.... sure was!!!! hahahahah i am glad that it happened to me because i could get up and walk it off.... i am sure that if that were to happen to someone else they would have been devastated.

okay now after all of that happened i went to a talk last night... it was from a guy who used to attend MSU. His senior year he was in a car accident which almost killed him. He is now in a wheelchair and cannot talk. He is able to communicate through a computer system... it was just so heartbreaking to see him... but the best part was that he was just so happy to be alive!

after that danny and i had what seemed like a heart to heart. he is a very interesting individual. His views are very different than my own, but at the same time it's nice to take a little peek into who the real danny is.

11:11

okay so there is this huge thing about people who make wishes on 11:11... well i am writing this blog at 11:11 hahah how dumb :)

so new and exciting things going on in my life right now... none!
i hate night classes..... well all except my leadership class and i am not just saying that because Dail teaches the class.. but i know that i am going to learn a lot from this class to not only better myself but better Alpha Phi.

okay for a quick little... ARE YOU SERIOUS... so people are not suppose to drink whatever i know people do.... but can we not post them on facebook where everyone can see??? are you really looking to get into more trouble than you already are?? you have got to be kidding me!!! you are seriously in enough trouble right now... why would you be as dumb as you girls are being and post pictures like that on facebook?? you girls are really dumb... congrats on your 14 girls

i want the core 5 to know that i miss you girls so much :) i cannot believe that we had such a great time together... we need to meet up once a week for dinner and drinks

so this is what i have determined about the whole guy situation... i really hope for the best for the two of them.

Super Trooper!

so it is now the end of formal recruitment and let me tell you that i could not be happier with Alpha Phi!!! you girls did an amazing job and should be so proud of yourselves! i now am the proud sister to 38 sisters!!! i could not be happier :)

on a sad note i am sad to not be a rho gamma any more!! we had a core 5 we called ourselves the corps! and we become so close in just a weeks time!!! i love those girls with all my heart... if i could turn back tiiiiiioooome!!! hahahahah

so today is my birthday and let me tell you what! i can honestly say that i am blessed to have made it another year. i have done, in my opinion, a lot of growing up in just a years time. i have seen many ups and downs and they have made me the person i am today.

thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes they were greatly appreciated!!

if you had a perm and a bow in your hair you would need a lot more than courage!!! hahah lqtm... no who am i kidding i am LOL!!!!! hahahaha

oh and a side note our football team won this weekend!!! GO STANGS!!
also our soccer team was in Canyon, Texas this weekend and lost a game on Friday :( but came back and won today!!! what a wonderful birthday did i have!!!!

A Tribute to Meatloaf

So the first day of recruitment went so well!!! I am so proud of my Rho Gamma group. They are having such a great time... well at least they look like they are enjoying themselves :)

this week is going to be a hectic week but in the end i feel like it will pay off for not only the girls but for me as well. I know that i can learn a lot from these girls and visa versa.

I would like to make a shout out to Ronnie... I want you to know that I miss you so much and I cannot wait to hear from you... and i want you to know that I went to the Ft. Worth Zoo last week and totally took pictures in the "outback" now i am sure that it has nothing on the real outback.. but i got to see one.. and i mean one kangaroo!! hahahah

now as for work.. it is getting better... at least for this week

I almost died... twice

so I am here to admit that I Michele am afraid... deathly afraid of heights. I know it sounds stupid but I can't do them. So today at work I had to go around the student center and hang these signs up... well needless to say I almost died, twice hahahaha :)

On a rather sad note... recruitment starts today and it really kills me to see that my disaffiliation from my sorority is having such an effect on some people... yes you cant talk to me, but it is only for a week. I know it is hard to do something that you are so used to doing but at the end of the week we will be reunited.

oh okay so I had done a lot of thinking and what I have concluded is that I need to make sure that my religion stays number one in my life. There are sometimes when I think that I can do it on my own only to find out how truly wrong I am. It is probably the hardest thing that I have to admit. That I cannot be totally in control of my own life. And to be honest it scares the shit out of me.

And let me vent about guys real fast because I am a girl and that is what I do.
Why do they suck so much? I am sure if I could get that question answered I would hold the key for all single womens understanding of men. Why is it so hard for girls to go and express their feelings???

So recruitment starts today!! Good Luck Ladies and know that I am rooting for you :)

Rock Me Sexy Jesus

okay so yesterday shahala and I went to go see Hamlet 2. Totally thinking it would be a great funny movie to go see.... NO!!! the only part that was funny was the rock me sexy jesus song. I mean I would not go ask for my money back but now i understand why there were only 5 people in the theatre.

Today is Labor day and I love the fact that we do not have school however it kinda makes me sad. I love going to classes and working... i mean there are certian reasons are to why i would love to go to work... yeah its a guy i get to see but here is the funny thing about that... i dont even talk to him... so its really just a crush that im sure 5 people know about. Its funny for me because if you were to walk around and see us interacting.... oh wait there is no interaction.... i have come to the conclusion that if you are not American i find myself attracted to you.... That thing about the good ole american boy... not my type.... hahahah i honestly feel like this is going to be a great semester full of adventure and excitment!

First Blog

Okay so i thought i would try this whole blogging bit. I cannot say that I am one for blogging but hey let us see where this goes.

So life as of lately has been both great and horrible! I know how can life be great and yet horrible at the same time... well let me explain

first off classes are going to be wonderful and i know what i have to do to apply myself... am i going to do what i need to? we will see

second work is killing me.... dont get me wrong i love the people i work with most of the time.... well let me rephrase that i love working with two out of the four people and then on the special occasion i like working with a third.

oh well this is the second week and school and recruitment starts on tuesday and i cannot wait to help these 80 some odd girls find their homes... Hopefully my home is theirs as well!

Good Luck with recruitment ladies!!!
