Ho, Ho, Ho!

After a refreshing and much needed Thanksgiving break, we are back!

Another week of classes down, one more week to go, and then FINALS...
The cramming has officially begun.
However, the snow fall two days ago brought about a necessary study break for an intense snowball fight out in back circle. I would have posted pictures, but I feared for my camera's life.
: )

Needless to say, socks, jeans, mittens, and tennis shoes were thoroughly socked and in much need of a good drying when all was said and done. There are still a few visible snow bunnies and snow midgets in back circle, but the snow continues to drift on down... blanketing all of Lexington.

Aside from the Christmas cheer falling from the sky, Greek formals have been adding to the excitement of the end of semester. Phi Mu's Masquerade Formal was a ton of fun- and all the decorated masks were super creative. Most girls fashioned and crafted their own masks, although some more elaborate ones were purchased. Chi Omega, Tri-Delta, and AOPi all held their dances as well- and from what I've heard all went well.

In other news, auditions from the Theatre Guild Show, The Shape of Things, also went extremely well. I was lucky enough to get casted as Jenny. The show was turned into a movie not too long ago, so I will probably be watching that over Christmas Break. Auditions for Aloha Say the Pretty Girls are also coming up later this week.. so good luck to all of those auditioning!

Finally, Crimson Christmas was today- kids from around Lexington came to celebrate with Transy students by playing games and winning prizes, and finally opening presents that various halls had collected and purchased for them. Games included Corn Hole, Face Painting, Pin the Nose on Rudolph, and Reindeer Games. Finally, towards the end of the afternoon, Santa and Mrs. Claus (also fondly known as President and Mrs. Shearer ) made an appearance.

It's been an excellent first week back from Thanksgiving break, but now it's time to get back to homework and go flip my laundry....
