Crazy...

Life has been pretty crazy lately. Thanksgiving break was great, but when I came back Monday a tempest of activity awaited my return. First of all, this is the last week of classes, with finals starting next week. I've got a couple papers due, a couple end-of-the year tests and one project. So in case school wasn't enough to keep me busy I tacked a bunch of other stuff on.
-The Christmas Vespers Program: This Christmas tradition at Coe is a combination of readings, prayers, singing and all around Christmas joy. I had the honor of reading this year.
-Intermural Racquetball: I love racquetball. I love it so much that when it was announced and IM league was being played this fall I signed up for both singles and doubles. We're in the final couple days right now which means scrambling to finish all my games (I played 4 matches Tuesday afternoon!)
-Kohawk Basketball: The Kohawk men and women opened conference play last night at home. One of my friends and I are "the voice of the Kohawks," bringing the game to the world via the Kohawk Sports Network on the internet.
-Student Senate: Last Saturday we had out Budget and Finance Day. As the treasurer I oversaw the proceedings as we allocated over $140,000 to our clubs and organizations across campus. We had to discuss the budgets before the full Senate on Wednesday night.
-Job Search Workshop: Our Career Services Office held a workshop designed to give graduating seniors tips on how to find jobs. This was a pretty big reality check for me - I graduate in 6 months!
-Sherry Wott- Sherry is a diversity speaker coming to campus speaking on how to have difficult dialogue. Its sponsored by the Residence Life Department and sounds like an interesting talk.
-The Office: Now this probably doesn't sound as important as the others, but it definitely is. Every Thursday night for the whole semester anywhere from 5 to 20 fill my apartment for our weekly ritual of watching Steve Carell create awkward moments and drop unforgettable one-liners.

Oh yeah, and I write this blog which has already taken enough of my time for today... I've got a paper to write!
