Lots going on!

In the last couple of weeks I have chosen to add even more to my busy life. I barely had time to catch my breath before so why, you ask, would I add to it??? Well the answer is simple I've found some things that will add to my life and I've chosen to make time for them. The first thing (three things really) are the HTE student chapters of PCMA, ISES & MPI. They are all meeting and event associations who put on a monthly gathering and occasional lunches to help students network and increase their contact with professionals in their chosen field of hospitality and events.
Second (and I'm very excited about it), is the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority! I came across the sorority while looking for an opportunity to volunteer and a way to get involved at school. Tri-Sigma had everything I was looking for in a group I would want to join. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming during the recruitment nights. In addition to getting involved in school activities, Tri-Sigma spends time volunteering with children. They have a great deal of respect and love for one another and it is infectious! Being around them feels right and I am thrilled that they have invited me to join. ∑∑∑
The third thing, which isn't really new, is the trip to Europe. Prep meetings start next week and I can't believe that the trip is just around the corner. I feel like the last 4 months (since I decided to go) have flown by and now it's starting to feel real. This will be my first trip to a truly foreign country (sorry Canada, I love you, but you don't count). I have no idea what to expect but I'm thrilled that I only have two and a half more months until we leave.
These three things have already started to add wonderful friends and fun memories to my life and I can only imagine what the future may hold!
