Bloomington Week In Review

The first week of testing is over! I had three exams last week, and one yesterday morning. It's been pretty chaotic. They were all pretty hard.

Also this past week Bloomington has gotten a ton of snow. Not enough to cancel classes (unfortunately haha), but enough to force me to wear my snow boots to class every day. Many girls wear Ugg boots to class, but I own straight-up snow boots. They're really warm and dry. When I was walking home from the Union Starbucks Monday night at 2am, I crossed the bridge over the Jordan River, and the view was stunning. It was so late that I couldn't hear a sound, and all I saw was the castle-like IMU building, a semi-frozen Jordan River, trees with snow-covered branches, and a blanket of completely untouched snow. I literally stopped for a few seconds to just take in the beauty, and remind myself why I love IU's campus so much.

On another note, I'm working on developing a creative resume for my Consumer Behavior class. The rough draft is due next week, and I hope it turns out as good as it sounds in my imagination. I'll keep you posted. I don't want to describe it yet, since I haven't started making it.

This past weekend my sorority had our initiation of our new members. I missed it last year since I was abroad, and it is so cool to be reminded of all of the ritual. My sorority is 139 years old at IU!

Yesterday afternoon my Honors Leadership Seminar professor cancelled class and had our entire class attend the Elinor Ostrom lecture at the IU Auditorium instead. She is a Political Science professor here at IU, and she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics last fall! She presented herself very well, and seemed incredibly intelligent. President McRobbie listed off all of her activities and accomplishments, and the list took about five minutes for him to say. It was very inspiring.

My Mom is coming into town this weekend. It's so weird that this will be my last parental visit at IU until my graduation day! This year is going by so fast!
