Snowy days give me time to blog

Now that my first round of exams are for the most part completed, I have finally had time to post pictures to share with friends and family of the past few weeks! Because meetings and academics are taking up the majority of my time, there are a few categories of photos.

Mizzou Basketball

The Big 12 conference games have been over the past few weeks--including games against Texas Tech, University of Colorado at Boulder, Oklahoma and Baylor.

At the Oklahoma game, I caught my first ever T-4-3 (three point shot) shirt from the cheerleaders! I am a little kid when it comes to being fascinated by free things (and buffets, as Shaina would add). The boy in front of me was part of the Antlers, a cheering section of boys with crude humor. He whisked the shirt away once I had a hand on it, and forcibly returned it to me after the section cheered "Give it to the girl."

Is this how I envisioned catching the shirt? No. Would I have preferred to get it myself without this argument? Yes. But am I happy with the result? Yes.

Emily, me and Jen at the blackout game against Boulder!

Since my father had not been to Mizzou since we moved me in August of 2009, he came to visit campus and go to the basketball game with me!

It was amusing sitting on the adult side of games where you can...

• 1. See things like this: The Antlers holding up a banner of a Baylor basketball player's mugshot, and proceeding to have it confiscated
• 2. Sit down the entire game. Oh how it will feel to be an alumni.

Laura's father coincidentally came in for the Baylor game, so we had a nice meal at the Shack at the MU Student Center and walked to the game! Here's my dad, me, Laura and Mr. Davison

RAMS

My sorority placed 2nd overall in Rockin' Against Multiple Sclerosis, a campus (dominantly Greek) fundraiser for M.S. by canning and through Rock It, a dance and lip-sync competition. Our theme was Grease, as shown by the backdrop below. Congratulations ladies!

Visiting University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This past weekend, I drove three girls down to U of I to visit our respective friends and high school acquaintances. I stayed with Meredith, and was able to entertain myself making plans with friends while she was in meetings all of Saturday!

I stopped by their Phi Mu house, pictured below, and hung out with Shaina's twin Ariel and some girls in their chapter! They even gave extra t-shirts :)

Below is Jacqui, Meredith, me and Kate at Cly's!

St. Luke's Dinner Dance

Immediately upon my return from Champaign, I headed over to the St. Luke's Greek Orthodox Church dinner dance! Parishioners tend to bring friends and community members here, so below I am pictured with Coach Mike Anderson of the men's basketball team!!

Off to finish up some work, hope you enjoyed the photos!
