THE ROOMMATES

Why hello to you from the couch of my home in Sandy! I went home this weekend to just get some stuff done. I love my roommates, but Cedar was kind of getting a little lame. SO I came home to get a reboot so I am ready to go back. See I miss it already! All the fun stuff happens when I am gone!
As roommates we took roommate pictures and it was so much fun! I just love these girls, we do almost everything together! It is so nice to not have roommate drama hardly ever!
Well we had rush last week and we got 46 girls! This is the biggest pledge class Theta Sigma has EVER had! Oh man alive! Some of us are going to have to take 2 littles, and all of us that can will HAVE to take a little. I am super nervous cause I got Kelly who is so amazing and I just love her, what if the new one hates me? Kelly and I are just getting to know each other more. So hopefully all is well on that home front.
This semester is going great, I love my classes and my professors are grand! Here are some photos:

OH MY PLEDGE CLASS! 

FAMILY LOVE

So as you can see I am just living it up! This is my last year and I cannot believe it at all! Oh man I got to live it up! I missed the first football game tonight but they WON! Oh man I love football! So I cannot wait until the next game! Well I better go now.

Until next time...

School... and a scholarship!

This week has been pretty good for school. Being a Communications Major is a win or lose situation. Either your first week of school is easy, and progressively gets harder... or its easy for the whole semester, or it just starts hard and never gets easier. SO FAR it has been easy, some minor assignments like tweaking my Resume, meeting people in class, doing a PR news release... so far so good. I would not mind if it got a little bit more challenging, but not for this next week (which is rush and super busy). I know that it will be okay, but I am taking some harder classes, and I just need to manage my time wisely. I have done it many times before! I of course am awaiting two more books out of the three I bought online, which totally saves me $200 from the bookstore. I have promoted the bookstore before but not for the texts... I had to do this for a project, but ya know it is a good place, just sometimes you do not want to pay $100 for a USED book! Blech.

These are the courses I am taking:

• Nutiriton at 8am with Schmidt on MWF
• Thinking and Listening Critically with Treanor at 10 am MWF
• Communication Studies with Stein at 1pm on MWF
• Technical Writing with Treanor at 2pm on MWF
• Public Relation Writing with Ben Wyeth on TR

This is my second time taking Communication Research but I am taking it from a different professor so we will hopefully pass so next semester I can do my thesis AHHHHH! Next semester I am going to be a SENIOR! Oh man time has gone by quickly! 

Can I just say I am so grateful for Chick-fil-a? I GOT MY SCHOLARSHIP!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! BUDDY!!!! It is for $1000 dollars and I am going to be published in a paper (I think Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune) so I will link that here when it happens. I also have the opportunity to receive the Truett Cathy Scholarship of an additional $1000!! SO I will keep everyone posted! 

ALSO on Monday I have a job interview. I will give more details about how that goes, and the description of the job. NO WORRIES :D 

Okay I am going to go celebrate by getting ready and then go window shopping lol! :) 

Until next time!

Lazy Saturday!

So this week has pretty much been well... tiresome! We have had polish week for rush. It has been a great adventure to learn and grow in our way of recruitment, I loved seeing the girls after a long 3 months of not seeing everyone. This picture above is of me and Cassy and Maygen and I on the service day where we helped the froshies (freshmen) move into the dorms. We got these epically green shirts, and got to design them. Mine one ugliest shirt of the day. Well we did not have a contest for this, but had we, I would have won that. We got to go to the different dorms and well... help them move in. Just like it sounds!

Today has just been pretty much lazy for Maygen and I! I just love living with her! She is just so sweet and lovable! The two of us just ate some breakfast and watched the good old Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. We felt like we were in elementary all over again! Then we got to grocery shopping and get some more food cause we felt like we were living off of cereal (or carrots for Maygen :])and then the free lunches from polish week, and then frozen dinner meals. Then we came home and pretty much watched TV all day and now we are just kinda getting ready to go paint signs for RUSH week! I feel even though we are lazy like no other, we feel it has been a pretty nice way to end the summer right. 

Our other roommates are pretty neat. One is Paige and she is 20 and she is a cute girl, she moved in two days ago. The other is Kim and she is 24 and she is a sweet girl. We (Maygen excluded) are all loud. Maygen is sure quiet. BUT she cannot help but love it! I feel we are all getting a long too well cause I have always had a stupid roommate but I love this not having a stupid one... yet. All of us except Maygen are LDS, so tomorrow we get to check out the ward. AND for the first time in like 2 years worth of singles/student wards, I have a time that is NOT 1 or 9 am! I have THE perfect time: 11-2! I am so excited! 

Anyway I feel this year is going to have some changes about. I am just not sure. I just feel like something good has to come personally this semester since last semester was kinda not the best personally. So we will see! 

Until next time! 

My room :)

Here are some pictures of my cute new room in Mandalay Apartment 8! I really like it a lot! But sometimes blogger does not like me uploading pics so I am just going to put them in a smilebox! It always seems to be the easier way!

Sending out my needs to the universe

Dear Universe,

This is me manifesting to you that I am going to get a job! I have four potentials in my hand, I am going to go turn them in... and I will get a job. Universe I also have one with a friend of mine and I just want to get something. I am sick of not making money so I am manifesting like the secret says. I know what I want. I want to really get one of these jobs.

Sincerely,

Adriana Steadman

EUREKA! My craft project tis complete!

Ok so my AOE board that my big made me needed revamping it. revert to original post. Well last night I FINISHED IT! Okay so I forgot to take a picture of it before. But here is one with the letters on the top off and the stars:

I remade the magnets. I just used some of the paper from that original post and I put some of those bead rock things and clear glue and glued it on! Easy as cake!
Next it was time to decide on the length and amount of paper used.

So I was going to do the left side, but it was just going to take too much time, so I did the right side and I liked that better. I mean you cannot really tell just from looking at it this way. But after I cut the strips to be the correct length and width and I modge podged and then slapped the paper on and then did the overlay of the modge podge... well....
THIS IS IT!!! I LOVE IT!!! SOOOO....

I am super happy with it and my craftiness. I really wanted to do it with my sister in law but I needed to get it done before I left, and I am working all day today and tomorrow is dedicated to packing and I am only doing one fun thing and that is lunch with Alex. So anyway I am going to go clean my car so I can start putting things in it! Until next time!
TWO DAYS TILL CEDAR! AHHH!!!!!!!
And I need to still do some more packing! YIKES!
