Hey Everyone!

Honestly, this has been the longest I've gone without writing a word, I am soo sorry, my life this second semester has been very different and much busier than before so to break it all down for you here are some of the things I've been doing in the past four weeks:

1.) Childcare: Every Tuesday night I go to do some babysitting for Helping Services in town. This is a great opportunity because I get to make some extra cash, by spending two hours entertaining a few kids.

2.) Ethnic Arts: The weekend of 7-9th of March was the annual Ethnic Arts Festival here on campus. This festival included an array of food, dance, and entertainment from all over the world. I was involved by performing in the first part of a three piece Bollywood dance.

3.) Research Paper: That same weekend I had to write my Paideia Research paper. Which was on a woman named Victoria Woodhull, who was the first woman to run for President. Thankfully, it's finished and I don't have to worry about it until after spring break.

4.) Friend: That same exact weekend my friend Gennie from Texas came to visit.

5.) Sickness: I've spent a big chunk of time being sick, with a cold, a cough, a fever... or all three at the same time

5.) Tutor: Thanks to the amount of time I was sick I fell behind on my Stats coursework, forcing me to get my first tutor. It's not bad at all, and he's helping me catch up.

6.) Bowl-a-thon: Some of my classmates from my Social Work class put up this fund raiser to help the mentoring program in Decorah. Bowling was tons of fun.

7.) 18-credits: I am taking a total of 18 credit hours this semester, which let me tell you is a lot on my plate. These are Paideia, Sociology, Statistics, General Psychology, Service Learning for Social Work, and a fitness class called Walking, Jogging, Stretching.

8.) Service Learning: I am working to put on the SAPA Run/Walk this year, it's a run to promote sexual awareness on campus. I am also working on a Sexual Awareness Mock Trial in which I will be the victim's very close friend.

9.) SPRING BREAK!!!

Once again sorry for leaving this to the last minute.. Hope everyone is doing great.. and I will be better about posting weekly in the coming weeks.




Until next time,
