| Oh wow, it has been awhile since I wrote in here.
Hmm...what new has happened over the past few months
First off, I got the Fast Track student coordinator position which
basically means that I am in charge of planning, hiring staff, and
running Fast Track. I love Fast Track so I was SUPER pumped when I
found out about it. It is also cool because one of my really good
guy friends is my partner coordinator fro this program and he was
coordinator this past year so he knows what to do. I'm really
excited for the Fall. Waz and I are going to have a blast working
together and all the other 7 student coordinators are some of my really
good friends in the office so I think we will make a great team.
Speaking of Fast Track, yesterday was my last day of
being a FT group leader for ever. All but one group FT group this
year were awesome. The other FT group leaders that I worked with
were awesome. We would make codename's for each other and then
call each other that from over the walkie-talkies. It was a good
time. Most of the names were from "Top Gun", mine was Maverick. Another
great thing about FT was the fruitglo punch at the the closing
reception. Oh man do I love that stuff.
Delta Zeta has kept my life busy but in a
great way. This year I feel so close to my sisters and love them
to pieces. I can't wait to live in the house next year. We got a
new house which is awesome. It has a huge front porch which I'm
sure I will be using a lot. We won Greek Week foe the 3rd year in
a row which is AWESOME!! We basically rocked the last 2 days of
events. I was involved in the Talent Show, doing two of the
dances and being in the skit. At the end of March, we had our
Formal which was a blast. I loved dressing up and seeing all my
sisters looking so beautiful. It was a really nice night. A
couple of weeks ago was the All Greek Banquet and I got "Most
Scholastic Achievement" award which I was not expecting and when they
called my name I wasn't even paying attention until one of my sister
was like "Hannah, you need to go up there." I was pretty excited
to get it, but I also think that it is really funny.
Classes are almost over. It has been a really tough school
semester for me, but I feel like I have learned so much over this past
16 weeks that it was worth all of the stress and studying. I pretty
much love what I am going to go into and enjoy the people in my
major.
On May 1st, I leave for MS with Brooke (my
best friend in my major) and Andy (an awesome Greek at U of M) to help
out with Katrina relief for 17 days. I am so excited to go back
there. I went over spring break and had an amazing
experience. I'm sure this next trip will be a lot different but
also just as awesome. I'm looking forward to being able to
hangout with 2 of the coolest people for 17 days. then from there
I fly to Texas to visit my brother and watch his Air Force Pilot
training graduation. I am so freaking proud of him. He has
worked so hard for this, I'm just excited to finally be able to see
him.
Speaking of my family. I am
realizing just how much I love my family. When I was little, I
use to get so frustrated at my siblings and couldn't understand why my
a parents would do what they did. But as I have grown older I
realize how much they have shaped me to be the person that I am
today. not trying to sound vain, but I like how I have turned
out...there is still a lot of learning and growing to do, but overall I
like me. My dad works so hard and is awesome. I love how he waits
up for me to get home just so he can tell me a joke or that he loves me
before going to bed. My mom is one of the strongest people I
know. She is also so caring and full of wisdom. some day I
hope to be similar to her in the way she handles everything. Ben,
well I am so proud of him and he is one of my heroes. Katherine is
amazing, I have loved her being back in A2 the past two years and
getting to see how much she has become an amazing woman. She has
so much passion for social justice and cares so much for the people at
the universities and people in her life. I'm sad to see her move
away in the fall, but can't wait to go visit her. Meg, is strong
and beautiful. She is so strong in all that has gone on in her
life this past year and more recently in the past few months. She
never gives up and always has a smile or something funny to say.
She is a huge goof but that's way I love her. And last but not
least is John, he is the baby which means how can I not love him.
But aside from that he is so smart and kind. He is also willing
to help out with anything and most of the time is cheerful. He
also has this little tough side which is hilarious but deep done he
loves people so much. He is so funny and is a sports fanatic
which I love. Okay well enough with the mushy stuff. I need
to go start on my final case study. But one last thing, the
people in my life are pretty much amazing.

| AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...I'm really frustrated right
now. Today has just been one of those days when nothing goes right and
even the little things start to stress me out. I try so hard not to
overreact and to breathe, but I can't. It started out with my professor
making late for my A&P class where we had a pop quiz that I hadn't even
looked at the chapter, then work was crazy and I felt as if I couldn't do
anything. I needed help with even the easiest questions...I don't know
where my brain is right now. It seems like after having a weekend of
being really encouraged and pumped about what God is doing, reality hits and I
then remember that life is busy and Satan tries to bring me down.
Other things are going on as well...a 16-year-old Saline boy committed suicide
last weekend. It has had a huge emotional effect on me, I didn't even
know this kid, I had seen him for the first and last time a week before at
Meg's euchre tournament. Hearing about it made everything that
happened last semester hit me really hard. Life is so short...I guess I
just don't want to waste a minute of it. It also made me think that know
matter how well I think I might know a person, I guess I'll never know what’s
going on the inside of them. ahhh...I think I'm going to work out and
pray...I need to get rid of some of my stress and just reflect.

| Greek Conference was pretty much the coolest conference I have been to since being in college. I spent almost the whole weekend hanging out with the U of M Greeks...man, they are the are an awesome group of people. This conference was the first time, where I was with a whole group of Christians who could talk about being Greek and how hard yet incredibly awesome it is and they understood. Coming back from this past weekend gave me a new vision and love for my sisters. Being a Delta Zeta is one of the best decisions that I have made in college. I hope to be able to go to some of U of M's Greek IVs this semester...I think its will be good to have the encouragement from them.
apart from that, I was thinking about this Chris Rice song because of all that has happened in the past few months and even last week. so here are the lyrics.
Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child
Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But Long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to hear us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around you
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world | | |
| Last night I watched "Crash", which is one of the most intense movies i
have ever seen. It gave me a lot to think and journal
about. I highly recommend it, but only if you're in the mood for
something very intense dealing with hard issues. It is the kind
of movie that I feel like I am a better person after watching...but I
would never want to watch it more than once. Maybe at some point
I'll write some of the thoughts that I had after seeing the movie...but
not now, there is still a lot that i have to process.
