Week 9: Midweek Madness and the Motivation Behind It

 

This week has been crazy, as usual. Wednesday especially. Not only did I have my classes, but right after my first class at 11:00, I had to run to the Freed Center classroom to have our client meeting with Switchbox. Only to get there, and the meeting had to be cancelled, but life and work happen, I understand.

Then I had to lock in to get some school work done since I have many other obligations this week. This was my opportunity to get some schoolwork done. 

After I did some school work, I headed to my second class, and wouldn't you know it? I had to run back to Freed for my advising meeting after that, for my last semester classes, and important senior information. And wouldn't you know, I had to run from that to the pharmacy building for an Alpha Phi Omega executive committee meeting. So finally, once that meeting was over, I didn't have to run across campus for something else. 

I had more to do, though I still had much schoolwork to get done, and I pretty much worked on school for the rest of the day until about 8 pm. I think I had one of my most productive days of this semester this day, which is fantastic for me because I felt really good about being so accomplished that I needed to be done. 

With any productive day you have, there has to be some sort of motivation or something you want to do later. My motivation that stemmed my productivity was a Theta-filled weekend. This is probably the most important weekend for Theta because of two big and special moments that come with joining any sorority. The two moments that I'm referring to are Big Little and Initiation. 

Although I have not had the opportunity to take a little, I do remember the excitement that comes with this week. I remember being like a secret detective trying to figure out who my big was based on the clues I was given each day. I remember the craziness of this week, my freshman year, like it was yesterday. Another thing that makes it even more special is not only the excitement and energy surrounding this week in the chapter, but you get to be initiated by your big, which makes it all the more special.
