Camp Duke Photoshoot:
This week has been a little exciting to say the least. Tuesday morning, I found out that I was selected to be an Assistant Director for the upcoming year in MSC FISH. I nervously walked up to the new MSC with Steven Baker to pick up our letters at 8 AM sharp. Will Brooke dropped them off and we slowly opened them together. What a memorable moment! We were both selected along with 16 other incredible people. They couldn’t have picked a better staff for next year. Not only will we be unified as friends, but we will also work so well together. Almost all of my best friends are on staff for next year and I couldn’t be more excited about it! It still seems serial that I will be taking on MSC FISH for a second year with a new role and a new mission. The first time we were brought together as a staff was Wednesday for Rev Night. There were four different groups; athletes, granola, nerds, and old people. We took several staff pictures for the first time ever and they turned out precious. After our photoshoot at the District, we hopped on the bus and headed towards campus. We stepped off near Rudder and were greeted by most of the AD’s and Exec’s from this past year. It was an emotional send off for them to pass off the responsibilities and excitement to us, but I was so glad to see all of them for this big moment. We have some huge shoes to fill! We took pictures with our old schools and they all told us how proud they were of us. It was at that point that I realized how much there was to look forward to in the future and that this night would be one I wouldn’t ever forget. We began our journey throughout campus—playing games and challenging each other—all to discover our committees for the upcoming year. Trick after trick, we were finally placed into our real groups by color. I am on the Kyle Field Day Committee with Steven Baker, Carolyn Phillips, Zach Siegrist, and Laura Mixtacki. I am SO stoked to work with each of them next year!!! After all of the committees were revealed and more pictures were taken, we headed to Cici’s for the next FISH tradition. We all ate dinner together for the first time as the staff for MSC FISH 2012-2013 and spent the night at Will Brooke’s house. It was unbelievably exciting to look around at each person in the room and realize what an incredible group of people I was surrounded by. The Exec’s spent night after night for the past several weeks reviewing applications and interviews all for this moment. They selected 16 completely different and unique individuals that bring a variety of strengths and new ideas to our organization for the upcoming year. I am confident that this will be the best group of AD’s that MSC FISH has ever seen. I am so thankful they chose me for this role and provided all of us the opportunity to continue to make a positive difference at Texas A&M. Next year will by far be the busiest and most fun year of my life! Wednesday night was also DELTA RAVE! I left Rev Night early in order for Landon Sikes and I to attend the last Tri-Delta date party of the year. We were rockin’ our neon green tanks, wore plenty of glow sticks and glitter, and ended up covered in paint. This date party was a mini version of Day Glow (America's Largest Paint Party) and it was a BLAST! Landon was so sweet to come with me and meet all of my friends. I couldn’t have asked for a better date! We raved the night away and pulled out our best techno dance moves. Between the spattering of paint and the black-light filled room, the date party was a complete success. I had so much fun dancing crazy with my delta sisters and laughing the entire night. I returned back to Will Brooke’s house completely covered in paint from the rave, but ready to continue to bond with the newest staff members. We played mafia, watched movies, talked the night away. The next morning, I woke up and returned back to my dorm only to shower and get ready for the Camp Duke Photoshoot. It is a Fish Camp tradition to take pictures with your fellow counselors and co-chairs during the spring semester. We all wore white shirts and jeans- and were looking pretty spiffy. The pictures turned out to be precious and the Duke road sign was the perfect touch. Every chance I get to spend with Camp Duke, I love them more and more. As for now, I’ve taken over 200 pictures in the past 48 hours and I am completely pictured out. This is my life. It is crazy and it never slows down. I am surrounded by people all the time. There is never a dull moment. I constantly hop from one activity to the next and change from one costume to another. I am blessed beyond measure and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. My life is craziness, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
