Tonight was the People Auction Fundraiser by our DHI Pledges Tuesday Class. It was amazing!! I am so proud of our girls and I cannot wait to make them official sisters! They auctioned off 12 people for a minimum of $10 and they ended up with over $200!!

It was very entertaining watching which people came out to bid on specific people. Tyler, one of Alex's friends, was bid on this kinda scary looking girl who glared at anyone who tried to bid on him. I of course, being the good friend, bid everyone up if I could see that they really wanted someone! Either way, the proceeds went to charity so I don't feel bad! 

Back Posting!!

I apologize for all the back posts but life has been pretty chaotic lately. Now that it's after Christmas everything has calmed down slightly. Again, I apologize, but everything's up now!

Andrea and I went to support Alysha at the Men and Women's Pronghorns Basketball Game. Stuart and a couple other friends came out to show support as well. It was a ton of fun. I love going to University sporting events, the crowds are always so pumped up. Alysha is on the U of L dance team, it's a lot of work but she seems to love it. Women won their game but Men lost (honestly it was no surprise, the Men were not playing their best).

Tonight we went out to diner with our Islam prof. The Class went to a traditional Afghan restaurant and had traditional food (which was actually really good!).  I felt kinda bad because Nicolette and I had to leave early because we had to go to the Greek Murder Mystery Party that night as well. I have no idea what I ate but it was tasty. We're all going back at the end of the month.

The Murder Mystery Night with Greek Life was fantastic! I got to wear my grad dress again, which was fantastic. Overall it was just a lot of fun. Only a few of us had roles, my little sister Liesl was Prom Queen and my other little sister Alex was an extra like me:

We danced, laughed, ate, (Liesl and I even twirled a little!) It was so much fun! We had the event with Kappa Sigma and Kappa Pie Chi.

So, here's a recap of my week, and just so everyone knows, all the problems have been sorted out.

All the problems started Tuesday night when we got a phone call from our landlord Phil telling us that either mine or Alysha's cheque had bounced. Me, knowing my bad luck, went online to check to see if Rent had come out of my account. It hadn't. So I check my recent statement and it said "A hold has been placed on your account." So I call TD to ask what the problem was.

Apparently, when I took in all of my student information mid-September into the local TD Branch, the idiot manager at the time never forwarded to the correct people or updated in the system! (I found out later that he had been fired for being incompetent) The wonderful lady on the other end tried everything but she could not remove the hold that had been place on my line of credit.

Wednesday, I went into the same TD Branch to give them a piece of my mind. The Branch Manager was wonderful. She took a look at everything, changed all my information in the computer systems and removed the hold on my account. She also said that TD would be willing to repay our landlord for the NSF fee he was charged when my cheque bounced. I wrote Phil a new cheque and everything was sorted out.

All of this happened the day before my midterms! That tuesday, I had a French Quiz and an Information Technology Midterm (which I got 91.7% on). Wednesday night I spent studying with Stuart (one of my friends in my Organizational Behavior Class) because Thursday morning I had my Organizational Behavior Midterm and my Accounting Midterm. I also have a Book Report due next week as well as a French essay.

Now that all that crap is done, I can focus on sorority events.

So this week has been big in the world of Natural Disasters. We've just heard that a huge Earthquake, the largest in 60 years, has hit the BC coast, provoking Tsunami warnings as far south as Hawaii as well as huge aftershocks. So far no deaths have been reported, BC looks to have avoided the worst of it.

Hurricane Sandy is heading towards the Maritimes with deadly force. It seems to have missed Florida but New York is under evacuation orders. The subway systems have been shut down as well as Schools and the New York Stock Exchange. According to the Radar, it looks to hit the great lakes by Friday. If you are in that area or have family or friends there, stay tuned to the news and hope for the best.

So this night was the Sorority's Halloween Party!! It was so much fun! All the Greeks were invited as well as a plus one if they wanted. I was part of the set-up crew so I was at Jade's (our president) at 6 p.m. to start decorating. We ordered Chinese from Coalhurst's Coyote Diner, which was great by itself. I must say, her house looked pretty fantastic for only $30 worth of decorations!

There was a ton of people there, all dancing and having fun! I brought my friend Alicia Szmaciarz as my plus one. We only stayed until Midnight but it was so much fun either way. I can't wait for next year!
