It's me- Anna. My apologizes for not communicating to you sooner. School started on September 22 and I have been super duper busy since then. I am currently enrolled at the University of Cincinnati in the college of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning. DAAP is a very prestigious design school and a very time consuming one too I might add. The interior design program is even the number 1 program in the country!! My program, Graphic Design, I believe is in the top 50 in the country. For design school, we have many assignments each week including drawings, Adobe homework, and even color/ painting homework. Sounds easy right? Think again.....
On a more worldly note, it my preparations for upcoming pageants I continue to stay up to date on current events and world happenings. There surely have been some interesting things going on in the world lately. Although this blog is not mean to be purely political by any means necessary, I just have to say that I am EXTREMELY appreciative that I live in a country that is free from intense political turmoil. Now granted we do have our disagreements but none to the extreme of kidnapping. After reading about how several leaders in Latin American countries were kidnapped despite the fact that they were democratically elected, it makes me very happy for our current sense of calm in the US. On a final note, please pray for those in Europe- the terror level is extremely high right now and it distresses me to think that our allies could be affected by terrorists in the near future.
I am really excited for our bid day coming up in just a few short weeks. Being in a sorority there is this unexplainable sense of both joy and excitement that just seems to fill you up when you see all of the new members running down the hill to greet there fellow sisters after receiving a bid to the sorority of there choice. If I had to describe it, I would have to say it's similar to joining one big happy family that will always love you. In reflecting back on when I pledged Kappa Delta, I remember it as a day full of smiles and joy. This chapter and the girls in it have helped me to become a confident, mature and courageous young woman that I am today. In all honesty, if you compared to the woman that I was when I started college to where I am now, you would be astonished by the shy, insecure person that I once was. Although I know that there is ALWAYS room for improvement I have the confidence to stand tall and be proud of who I am today and who I am becoming tomorrow.
As the summer weather is fast escaping and the fall leaves are undoubtedly falling off the trees, here is a quote about change: "Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.
XOXO,
Anna
