Here's another post after two weeks on the run; I'll get around to getting back into the blogging routine at some point before the end of the semester... maybe.
Two weeks have flown by, but boy, there was a lot going on. Last time you heard about me surviving a week of three exams and meetings and homework and football. This time around, I've gone home for a wonderful weekend of relaxation with the fam, Homecoming week, Parade committee shenanigans, a long ECON exam, more time on the football field, front row at Beaver Stadium, and a visit from LARZ.
You all know how much I love Penn State and how I would never in a million years miss a home football game. Well, I really needed a weekend in good ol' Erie, PA (yes, I admitted it). While it rained a lot and it was pretty cold, it was really nice to kick back and relax at home and see the bros. Mark the count up to 7 days at home since July 5th...
I got back to Penn State and was greeted with a week of absolute craziness: Homecoming. It was incredibly fun, but I had a lot on my plate from working various shifts at the different carnivals and events and helping to set-up and run the largest Homecoming parade in the country! It was really rewarding to see all of our hard work pay off as all of the floats went by. It was a cool experience that I am thankful for.
The craziness continued from Parade day to Game day. I made an appearance on ESPN in the front row of Nittanyville (S/O to GA for the spot!) and took in the gorgeous weather as I hung out with the basketball team on the field beforehand. I could not think of a better day for football, and the win against the Hoosiers made it even better. After the game came a night of interesting adventures with my favorite group of penguins AKA Co-Captains. The PR team is definitely getting closer and closer.
On top of Homecoming festivities, LARZ was here for the weekend. Having the squad back together was both super fun and super shambly, and it's safe to say that we have some great stories. (S/O to Jack for trying to catch me as I face-planted and S/O to LARZ for superman diving onto the couch). Just your typical weekend.
This week has included waaaaay too much time at HUB Penguin (PR's official meeting space), quite a few hours at the basketball office, and a dreaded COMM 320H exam. Some fantastic parts of this week included GETTING OUR CAPTAIN QUARTERZIPS (this may not seem like a big deal, but it was one of the highlights of my week), spreading the word about #THockey on the radio, and a successful promo day for THON Hockey. My PR Co-Captains joined me dancing, giving away free stuff, and attacking people with giant polaroid frames to let the student body know that they need to come support THON and the Women's Hockey team this Sunday. I'm so excited to see all of the planning turn into an amazing event!
All I have to say at this point is TGIF, I can't wait for 75-minute Zumba with LIVE DRUMS tomorrow afternoon, and THON HOCKEY on Sunday. It's going to be a great weekend.
I promise I'm timely with everything else in my life,
Kirst
