hey everyone!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since my last post; school's been getting a bit hectic lately. Anyway, today I thought I would expand on my previous introduction by telling you all a bit about what I do in my spare time!

I have a few hobbies that I'm really in to. I love listening to music and going to concerts. I try to get to at least two a year. They are always so much fun! I don't really have a favorite genre of music. I listen to everything: classic rock, speed metal, jazz, hip hop, techno (LOVE daft punk), alternative rock, indie, and even a little bit of country. Basically, as long as it has a good beat to dance/exercise to, great lyrics, or an amazing guitar, I'm there! My favorite artists are hard to name, but I right now I'm listening to a lot of Frank Sinatra, The Doobie Brothers, Dragonforce, Pink, Paramore, the Goo Goo Dolls, Louis Armstrong, and a little of +D'espairsRay+ (<--I saw them in concert back in March. I was the only one in my group that understood the songs, but we all loved the guitar solos). What kind of music do you like?

Another of my hobbies is watching sports. Some of my favorites to watch are hockey and American Football. I was able to go to the Stanley Cup Finals this summer, which are the finals of professional ice hockey playoffs. It was so much fun! It was made even better because my team won the game, and went on to win the series ^_^My university has a pretty big following for its football team. I go to every home game and sit in the student section. We are playing our biggest rivals this weekend; Michigan University. I'm a little nervous, but really excited too!

ANOTHER (sorry this is such a long post >_<) thing I am involved with at MSU is my sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi (or AOII for short). It's pretty much a society of college women, working through various chapters at various universities across the country and the world. It keeps me very very busy; we do volunteer work(animal shelters, retirement homes, fund raising), go to events together (hayrides, dance clubs, theme parties, football games), and just try to stay connected to our university and to each other. It's a big time commitment, but I really do enjoy it. On Thursday, we are doing an event called "Safe Halloween," where we shut down some of the roads behind campus and let kids trick or treat in the neighborhoods. It's really fun!

I hope you are all doing well, and that you enjoy the pictures. They are as follows: two from the Stanley Cup Final, two from the MSU student section during a football game (and you can only see a small portion of our student section... it's kind of scary how many people we fit in there!), and one of my sorority sister and me at an apple orchard for my sorority's family day event. We're being silly because the tent has my name on it (I'm the crazy person in the sun glasses ^_^;;). Have a great day, and I hope to hear from you all soon! Please, tell me what kinds of things you like to do for fun!
