I'm the worst blogger ever. SORRY! School started and the GRE is coming up and I just can't seem to catch a break. I'm missing the calm of summer right now buuuut I'm having SO MUCH FUN!
PS. Cousin Katie - I promise I will help you make your blog sooooon.
Maybe I can just come visit you in ATL and do it then :)

So pretty much all I have to offer right now is an update on my life. Recruitment brought us a beautiful and well-rounded pledge class of 63 new Phis. We thought we were going to have to take 80. We were very excited when we found out that to make quota we only needed 63. 80 would get a tad bit ridiculous. I have been running around like crazy on campus trying to tie up all of my loose ends before I have to do a graduation check. When did I get this old? Why am I a senior in college already?!
Now onto this weekend!
Thursday my roommates and I were feeling a wee bit sick. I think all of the not sleeping, being around a thousand girls in the same house for two weeks straight, and the not very healthy diets of recruitment caught up with all of us. I decided to make some chicken noodle soup and pumpkin chocolate chip bread Thursday night to make us feel better for the weekend!

Friday began with an 8 am class (boooo.) When I went home though I had a lovely surprise.
"Just Because" flowers from my wonderful boyfriend. :) They made my entire week!!!

My roommates and I went to happy hour on Friday. Whenever there is a home game for FSU, Tallahassee hosts a street pep-rally of sorts called Downtown Getdown. A lot of people wear garnet and gold, there is a ton of street food and beer being sold, and new this year is free concerts in the square. SO MUCH FUN! This weekend was a free Justin Moore concert - so legit. We went to DT Getdown after happy hour and then went home to rest for GAMEDAY!
We beat University of Lousiana-Monroe 34-0. Nothing like a good ole shutout to start the season.
Today I'm going to go to brunch with my big brother who is in town for the game with his girlfriend. Then it is off to study for the GRE for the rest of the day.
I hope that y'all are having a terrific start to your fall semester.
xo, Jen
