2009 started SO much better than 2008, and for that, I am VERY glad. I am not a fan of New Years eve, as I think people make a really big deal about it, and everything is WAYYYY overpriced. Kinda like this other holiday in February that I'm also not fond of...HA! Anyway, I hung out with a friend who also doesn't like to celebrate and the best part of the night was that we missed the ball drop. We were talking about something, and realized three minutes after the fact that it was 2009. I loved it!! :)

Work started back for me last Monday, but I actually made the trip to St. Louis instead. We had an event for all admitted students at the Renaissance Hotel by the airport and it went SO AMAZINGLY WELL. Everyone seemed really excited about Butler and asked a ton of great questions. I was VERY excited, because I'm from St. Louis and I really want to see it succeed as a strong recruiting area for Butler. Thankfully no one seemed to REALLY mind the heat....being that the room we were in felt like a sauna. I know I was red-cheeked and I was trying REALLY hard not to think about how hot it was. They had turned on the heat and must have turned it to like 80. crazy. Other than that, everything went amazingly well and I was very happy!

We had our next event for admitted students on the 8th, this time at a basketball game here on campus. Again, the event went really well AND we beat Wright State! We have two more events like that coming up, on the 22nd and the 24th. I hope anyone who can go, will make the trip down to campus. Both of the upcoming games should be pretty good...soo....

Butler (as I'm sure many of you read in other blogs) had it's recruitment last weekend. I was very excited to go back to my house and help the current members out with recruitment and the last evening, which is usually when alumni can help. I had a blast, and the girls that are in the house now are amazing! They were very excited about their new members, which made me happy for them. I LOVE getting to go and help them-being in a sorority was one of my best experiences here, and I'm glad I can give back:)

So far these past couple of weeks have been crazy. We have another application deadline today, the 15th, and I've been making a lot of phone calls to students. It's also the start of planning spring travel, which seems crazy to think about when the weather is as crazy as it is, at -1 degrees!!!! Hopefully everyone is staying warm, wherever you are!!

Well that's all...back to reading files. If anyone has questions, please let me know! :)
