Sorry for my partial absence last week; things were pretty crazy!
We had an Interior Design Department Wide Charette, a group project that is only several days long and therefore very intense. It was a very frustrating week for me, because the senior member in our group and I did not get along so well. I'm generally more of a leader than a follower, and his leadership style was not mine at all. We clashed a lot, and long story short, I ended up doing the majority of the work. I had a bit of breakdown Wednesday afternoon, and the Best Boyfriend Award goes to Kyle, for listening to me sob for a good 10 minutes straight! I certainly learned how not to lead my group next year, when I'm the senior member.
On top of that, I ended up getting a really bad cold, and then I caught pink eye Friday night. Yesterday, I got a strep test because my throat hurt so much, even just swallowing saliva. Negative on the strep test, but I'm still at home today so as to not infect anyone. So that's all been pretty fun... Not.
Now for the real fun: after my mental breakdown Wednesday, I welcomed a Grand-Little into my Alpha Phi family! Both my Little and my new G-Little did a great job of cheering me up, and I'm so happy to have them in my life! On top of that, my parents came into town for FSU Parents Weekend, as well as Alpha Phi's Red Dress Gala. It was so nice to finally be able to show my dad around Tallahassee, even though it was a short visit. And I think he wants to come back next year!
