Fearless. Flawless. Forgiven.

Today I went to my very first Sigma Kappa Philanthropy event. Our chapter held a co-ed soccer tournament to raise money for one of our five philanthropies - Main Seacoast Mission. Our sorority was founded in Maine and thus it is held as one of Sigma Kappa's national Philanthropies. Maine Seacoast Mission provides community resources across the state of Maine. I had the opportunity to volunteer at the tournament and it was a blast. I cheered on the teams and spent time with my sisters. It was amazing to see the support of fellow Panhellenic members as well as other ETSU student organizations. During the games we sold snacks, and after the game I was responsible for helping to pick up trash. This event raised a lot of money for a very worth cause. It was great to be apart of my community today and know that others were being helped in the process. For Dr. Hedden: Community Service Hours: 5-6:30 pm  (1.5 hrs) 10/26/16

I have decided to name my mentor as  Charity Hensley-Pipkin because she is the most closely related to the work I have decided to do for my thesis (for now). My thesis will be on teacher perceptions of learning centers post-primary education. Basically, it is a really fancy wording for the question - why do teachers stop using learning centers after 2nd grade? Currently, I am writing my prospectus and the literature review is proving to be more challenging than I anticipated. I'm stressed about finishing it in time and with it being close to Halloween I'm kinda wishing I could cast a spell and make it be instantly finished. We will see what the week holds!

A few weekends ago, Dave Coulier came to ETSU to perform. My friend Kaycee and I got there early and actually got pretty decent seats. Unfortunately they would not let us photograph or video his performance what so ever, but I did manage to snag a selfie with Kaycee before the show. Of course Dave did his first set on his famous "cut it out" and the crowd roared. He next did a set on sex and marijuana which was a little bit of a culture shock considering I have always seen him as Uncle Joey from Full House. Dave's latter set was about a farting miracle which Kaycee and I found absolutely hysterical.  All in all, this comedy set was not what I expected but I certainly enjoyed my time there.
