I never knew my great-grandbig, so we don't have any real traditions for that. But this year, I'm going to wear the "senior" crown on bid day. I'm going to be the old one. I realized, the new members I mentored last year- they're going to grow up and mentor these next women, and I'm mostly going to be on the sidelines watching. And that's pretty awesome. It's one circumstance where you can be nothing but proud to be a wallflower.
A few goals, for the Fall:
1. I would really, really like to get a 4.0. I've never gotten one before, and I'm running out of time. I'm prepared to have a semester full of no social life, and full scholastic and leadership engagement.
2. This is going to seem contradictory, but-- I want to say yes to more things. I want to DO more. I don't mean going out- I've played that scene, and it doesn't make me happy. I mean going to shows in Cleveland, and exploring downtown, and meeting new people. Last year, when I was a rho gamma, I went to a few club meetings just because I didn't have anything else to do, and that was pretty cool. I need to see more than greek life and yearbook.
3. Find my faith. It's somewhere, I'm pretty sure. I don't know if it's in the Episcopal church, or at our Thursday services, or the Methodist church, but I plan on finding out.
4. Learn to use the weight room. I'm so comfortable at the gym, but I've never crossed over to do the weights, and I need to just do that. Along with this goal, I want to run a 5k. I want to be a runner.
5. Find a healthy routine! I'm going to get up early and have my orange juice while I read the news. I'm going to eat three meals, where I sit down and actually absorb nutrients. Less multitasking, more focus on what I'm doing. When I have a meeting, I'll be in that meeting. When I have class, I'll be in that class. I can juggle all the things I'm involved in, I'm positive. But it will all come down to focus!
Fall Semester, 2013. The beginning of the end.
