What a week...

Hey everybody!

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back on here, however, I have had the most eventful week of year so far! Alright, so last Thursday I was having just the worst day; I had a bad headache, was loaded with homework and just needed a break! So I left the admssions office and went to see my roomie at the library and ran into her and two other friends of mine. Turns out we were all kinda havin' a bad day and so we piled into my car and headed to Carolina Place mall (near Pineville, about 20 minutes away). About two intersections before the mall we got into a bad wreck with another car! My car, an '06 Corolla S,  is totaled and by now is in a junk yard forever :( I was so sad, but everybody was alright, only small injuries and so we were taken to the hospital, checked out and released that night. We're all actually part of different sororites and that night all of our sisters plus other Queens students took care of us and checked on everybody and it was just so great to see everybody get together and really showed how much a big family we are at Queens! We're all like brothers and sisters and it's just nice to have people there for you in a crisis. My parents, though my mom did drive up from Louisiana that night, were definietly releived to know that we were all taken care of after such a tramatic event! So the wreck has definitely taken over my life: I mean, no transportation for my previously planned Spring Break trip to Florida, no more fun trips to the mall! It's really not that bad, people on campus have been so eager to help us get around and take us to our appointments and help us run errands, so I guess it's just that I really love to drive and not being able to has kind of cramped my style.

Aside from that, I've been having a fun spring break even without a car! For spring break, I went on two admissions receptions in Raleigh, and Fayetteville! It was so much fun at both events! I met future students and parents and got to do my favorite thing and mingle and talk about Queens! It was definietly exhausting, however, traveling with Jeff and Gilda, some very super awesome admissions counselors, and Dre, who works in the Blair House (That's where internships, resumes, and career and personel development stuff goes on :) ) was just so much fun that I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do it!

I only have two more days of spring break and I'm sad that I don't get to lay in my bed all day anymore, but at the same time super excited that there will be people around again! Well, it may be spring break but I still like to go to bed at a descent hour lol

I'll write ya'll soon!!
