Trying to Keep Up

Hello World,
   Once again, school has been keeping me busy.  I only have two weeks until I am finished with my second year.  Two weeks ago we held our second annual Greek Week here at IC.  While we did not win the overall week, my sisters and I had a blast participation and winning individual events!  Sarah Knapp, leader of Greek life, always makes sure we are having the great time.

   Last Sunday, we had our Phip Family Day.  My mom and dad came over to help celebrate the day.  JT was at home sick, unfortunately.  We put on a production for them and performed our Greek Sing for them.  We also had a nice lunch and a good speaker.  It was really great showing them my society again.  They know it means a lot to me. 
   Phips have been busy with service raising over $1,100 for both Big Brothers Big Sisters and Relay for Life.  I am very proud we were able to do this for them. 
   I work a lot this week, have presentations, and papers due, and I am going to see Scotty McCreery this Friday! I am trying to make sure that I am in a good place so I can enjoy my night.  It was a birthday present.  Speaking of which, my birthday is in twelve days.  In twelve days I will no longer be a teenager...  I am trying to remain calm. 
   Until next time,
-PK

First Week of April

Hello World,
   This past week has been very stressful and busy.  From work, to tests and homework, to service events, I have not had much time to myself.  I had my final Biology test of the semester, and I think I did pretty well.  Also this week Sigma Phi Epsilon Literary Society raised over $1,100 for Big Brothers Big Sister for their Bowl for Kids Sake charity event! I am so proud of my sisters.  Unfortunately, I could not be there to bowl because of work.  I just keep telling myself I'll have a good pay check. 
   Saturday was very busy.  I had an event that morning for Rush.  I was simply just getting our name and information out to kids who are looking into coming to IC in the fall.  However, later that day, Sigma Phi Epsilon held our second annual Kentucky Derby.  It was a little cold out but standing in the sun was nice.  I loved seeing everyone dressed up and having a good time.  We held our event with our brothers, the men of Sigma Pi.  I love getting together with them. 
   Anyway, today ended with work, a meeting, and me studying for my functions test in the morning.  Wish me luck on that one...
