Tuesday was the 2nd annual SOUL banquet (Student Organizations United in Leadership). Winter Formal was nominated for Best Programming. We were up against Sex Signals and Homecoming, and Sex Signals won (rightfully so--it was awesome!). So it was really nice for my committee and I to be recognized as contributing to Bluffton's student life! I'm so proud of us! Tabitha, Jen, Mel, and I all went over to the banquet together and had a nice little time. The food was really good--ex: chicken that's better quality than normal days in Marbeck! We also had a very funny keynote speaker, Chris Jebsen, the director of admissions. And it was fun to dress up a little. So all in all, a good night!
Then tonight was a banquet for Big Brothers Big Sisters. We went to a restaurant called The Old Barn Out Back, which is buffet-style. It was pretty good, and it felt nice to be recognized for our efforts with the kids, too.
On Monday is ANOTHER banquet, this one for the Honors program, at Tu Pueblo in town!
I also gave my final speech today in Public Speaking. It went really well, I think, and the thing I'm happiest about is a comment that I got on a piece of paper afterwards (we had to review each other's speeches): "I never really knew much about foster care before but now I am really considering doing it when I'm older" or something very close to that. That is EXACTLY what I wanted to do with the speech! :-)
Today was the last day of classes! We had Monday classes even though it's a Thursday because we've missed a lot of Mondays for different reasons. It was a little sad but not too much. So all we have left is finals and Singin' in the Rain. Tomorrow is my first final--Sociology. I'm a little nervous! Wish me luck!
