Stacy's mom has got it going on.

Today while doing my homework like the good student that I am, I was listening to pandora. I have a station that plays music that I listened to ten years ago. Like the Backstreet Boys, Fountains of Wayne, Avril Lavigne and the Spice Girls. It's music that is old (to me) but I find to be amazing and catchy and perfect for almost any situation. 

Anyway I was thinking of what to write my blog on when a Backsteet Boys song came on and it made me remember something that happened to me a couple weeks ago. My brother was over with his kids and I was in my room trying to get some work done and at one point my oldest nephew, who will be 14 in January came in to my room just as "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys came on Pandora.

Being the fangirl that I am, and being that that was and is my favorite song EVER, I had a little fangirl moment where i jumped around singing and dancing and saying things somewhere along the lines of "OMG BACKSREET BOYS!!" My nephew was just kind of looking at me like "what..." Then he went over to my computer, I'm assuming to check what the song was and after looking he turned around and asked "Whats a Backstreet Boy?"

After he asked that I told him to leave my room because we were no longer related. I was kidding, but still. what kind of question was that?!

Thinking about it now I realize that that's probably how my older siblings felt when I would walk in to their rooms as a little kid and have absolutely no idea what they were listening to. I guess in another ten years someone will be offended because a little kid will have the audacity to ask "What's a Carly Rae Jepsen, and why does she want me to call her maybe?"

09.28.12 My favorite time of the school year.

My favorite week of school is definitely the first full week of class. I love going to each class and getting to meet the professor and getting to see all the people who have that class too. But what I love most is that for my sorority, most of the time, the first full week is rush week. 

We get to set up our tent and table and recruit new members. Which is fun but I think I like the fact that all of us have this common place where we can meet up. Most of us have busy schedules with work and school so unless it is a mandatory event, it gets a little hard for us to find a time where we can all hang out on campus. 

During rush week everyone tries to make time for tabling so there is always someone there. The time that we don't spend talking to interested girls we spend talking to each other and catching up. This past week, for example, was our first week of rush. A lot the girls we out there from 8:00 a.m. ready to recruit, and as some girls left for class, other girls would arrive. During u-hour it got a little crazy at the tent since no one had class but that was ok because we were all just happy to be spending time with each other. I also feel like I was more productive at the table than at home since that where I got most of my homework and readings done.

I am a little sad that we wont be out there next week but I am already looking forward to the next time.
