The first week of November is here and it is busy!
The count down for Thanksgiving Break has begun, and the homework and tests have also been piled on. I can’t believe how fast everything has gone by! I feel like we all just moved in and had our Welcome Week of introducing our biggest freshman class to the best campus ever.
This week has consisted of school and Geneva Stunts. As an education major, I have to be out and about in different schools, helping teach and also observing different teachers, their styles, and thinking of how I will relate it to my school someday. Geneva Stunts is a really fun tradition that has been around at Butler for a long time–I think more than 90 years! The theme this year is BU Comics: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. All the fraternities and sororities are paired together (along with all the housing units!) and they put on a ten minute skit about whatever the theme is, which includes dancing, acting and singing. I have done it all three yeas while at BU, and it’s so much fun! I decided to take charge this year for my house along with a good friend of mine in my sorority house named Ashley. We wrote the script, the songs, and have started the practices. The final performance will be this Saturday night at 7 p.m.–when all the families are here for Family Weekend!
There is so much to do at Butler, and it has been a hectic semester. I wouldn’t want it any other way though; I love all the opportunities to be involved, and all the leadership opportunities I have gotten because of Butler. Although these next couple weeks seem unbearable, I’m keeping a positive attitude, and hoping to win Geneva Stunts and have a greta visit with my family this weekend! And do some homework sometime, too.
