New Motivation

Hey Everyone,

    Not too much going on right now, just working a lot and going home late and working on things. By the End of the month my living room should be complete of its transformation. I plan to post pictures of it then. We got our tv the other night and then hooked up the HD cable box last night, now I just have to work on doing the wireless router, the curtains, moving pictures and shelves around on the walls, wait for the chair slipcover to come in the mail, finish the bookcases with my father over Easter weekend, and then have them bring them the following weekend. The only thing that might not be in the living room at the end of the month is the desk, which is up in the air when we will get and up in the air whether it will be in the living room or the second bedroom. The second bedroom is kind of getting redone at the same time, since our old larger tv will go in their, the old entertainment center went in there, we will be getting rid of the drafting table, and the dresser was taken out and put in our bedroom. When I touch up the livingroom walls and ceiling with the primer I will probably do the other two rooms as well. I am loving how things are coming together, but it just takes a while, especially with me.

   So I have a new motivation to get myself back into shape. I have really been slacking, I know I can do better, but with winter here I really have no motivation to get out and do anything. But, now I might be headed to Miami, FL in June for Grand Convention. There are still a few kinks to work out with my schedule to see if I can, but I don’t have to pay for anything except ground transportation to and from the airport to the hotel and then there are a few free times that if I want to go out and take a tour or something I would have to pay for that too. But, mt Theta Alumnae chapter would be paying for everything else, airfare, hotel, food and activites that they plan. The Grand Convention is basically a leadership conference, but we also dicuss the affiars of Kappa Alpha Theta on the college and alumnae levels, we vote the new Grand Council members and we learn about how we can help our chapters improve. From everything I have heard from the previous participants it is a great time. You learn a lot more about Theta, you get to meet some great people and you get to enjoy the time spent with those you call your sisters.  I tried to be very active in my college chapter, despite my hectic class schedule and I loved being apart of Theta, even my parents as much as they were against me being in a sorority agreed it was one of the best things I could have done for myself. Now, my little sister is in a sorority, not Theta, and again my parents had to agree it was a great thing for her.
 

  So, since I might be going to Miami, I want to look great!! Maybe that seems somewhat like vanity, but I don’t care. If this is something that is going to get me motivated and stay motivated, because it is more then just because I want to then I will take it. I have a hard time staying motivated unless I really want something, and looking great while in Miami is something I want.

  I am now also the newest secretary, well fill in, of our alumnae chapter until at least elections which are coming up and then I will attempt to be elected at the secretary. I love knowing that I am getting involved in something that helped me while in college.

Well, I think that is all for now. I will try and update more often, but seeing as my schedule never slows down, I don’t know how well I will do. Have a great day!!
