Well this is a first, I'm blogging in the air! One of the many reasons I prefer to fly Airtran is their free in flight wi-fi service. So glorious.
I was sad to leave the ladies of Alpha Psi at Eastern Illinois University today, however I'm also excited to get back to Flint and see my colony girls! We got a little lost and may have ran a read light on the way to the airport but we made it one piece. I also may have serious issues when it comes to packing.
Yesterday was a treat and we went over to Champaign, home to the University of Illinois, and got dinner at Olive Garden (I highly recommend the new Grilled Chicken Fonduta), and did what else...shopping. I tried to be as good as possible and be reasonable with my purchases. I got two skirts (which can be worn for work), two tank tops, a super cute new top, a necklace and some hair clip things. In exchange I chose two outfits and my only pair of dress pants (I've worn them once since December...it was time to let them go), my hoodie, Uggs and a t-shirt that the Alpha Psi women are graciously going to mail home for me.
I absolutely had to get one of the skirts. First of all there was an Old Navy outlet, aka my heaven. I had been stalking this skirt online for the longest time. I actually had only seen it in solid colors and when I stumbled upon it in the store it was love at first sight. If I hadn't gotten it I would have had major regret and always wondered "what if?"...yes I know I have major issues. Someone should probably put me in some type of shopping clinic.
But I can wear it paired with my new green tank and white cardigan as a work outfit--much more Spring time than one of the drab gray dresses I was traveling with. I also got a another skirt in a similar style that's a pale pink with embroidered flowers on it. Another work out fit. So hey I rationalized right? Although still with no summer job I'm wishing that money was back in my account right about now.
Which reminds me, if you hear of anyone who needs a babysitter within an hour radius of Owings, MD please let me know! I can't have something that will tie me down too much as I've already got many Summer shenanigans planned to make up for my lack of social life this past year.
So upon checking in today I realized I have a six hour layover in Atlanta. The lady said I could bump up to a flight that would leave ATL at 4:45pm instead of 6pm but instead I thought of another brilliant idea. My friend Stephen who I met at GARP when I went down to South Carolina works for Chi Phi Fraternity and is in the ATL area. So on my big layover we're going to meet up and I'm excited to feel like I have a real life for a few hours, yipee!
I will be back in Flint tonight until April 7 when I'll head back to the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire for a follow up from my visit last Fall. I'm excited to be going back to Flint and ready to make sure things are on track for the rest of this Spring and for them to come back in the Fall. Although I won't be working for Tri Sigma anymore I look forward to their chapter installation later next Fall. What an amazing experience that will be!
Well adios, I think we're starting to get close to ATL and am so tired of Flight Attendants scolding me. Usually it's for my iPod which is a little more discrete to hide and pretend that it's off--this huge, honkin' Dell...not so much!
Until Flint,
xoxo Anna
