This week has been so crazy because of Spirit Week. Being a cheerleader, I'm required to attend every event. I feel like I've been running around all week in my cheerleading stuff. In order to spread school spirit, we're also required to bring the spirit into our dorms. I've been working tirelessly to hang signs that say "wear blue and gold!" or "support your school at the commons at 12!" The week has seemed to last forever. Today begins family weekend which runs at the same time as homecoming weekend. Tonight is an event called Midnight Madness. I'm really nervous for this event because it's basically a debut for the cheerleaders. Even writing about it makes me have butterflies in my stomach. I'm nervous that I'm going to drop my flyer, or even trip going from stunt to stunt. The worst nightmare is that I'd forget everything about my routine. Hopefully everything goes okay.

On top of cheerleading, I've been working over-time at work. I'm actually writing this blog entry from my desk at the Admissions Office right now. I really can't complain, because I sit here with my friends, gossip, and do my homework. It really isn't that bad, but at the same time it's time consuming. For example, the other day in work I had a million things to do for homework, but didn't have time to run to the dorm to get my things before work. Therefore, I was stuck at work with no way to get anything done. I ended up using the easy-bake oven to cook a cake with my friend Ashley, and then ate it with our bosses. It was fun, but at the same time frustrating because I know that I have things to do. On the contrary, it does provide a nice escape from schoolwork and gives me a chance to leave the room and my books for a while. That part of it is nice. The most frustrating thing about work is people that don't realize that applications require full addresses. When students write "Port Jeff. Sta." it's really annoying to have to search online to find out they really mean "Port Jefferson Station." More files are here, time to get back to work. :)
