For the last month I have been sneezing, sometimes my eyes hurt, and I have a runny nose  But it's not in the 'cold' kind of way.  I've never had allergies before and was talking to my mom about it.  She said sometimes you get them with age.  REALLY! LAME!  So, I now think that I have allergies.

This week has been pretty eventful.  It's Greek Week!  I am not a Greek, but do still enjoy being a spectator.  Tuesday night they Greeks battled each other in a game of Family Feud.  It was pretty fun, especially since Family Feud is one of my all time favorite shows to watch.  Tonight is the 'Variety Show'.  Most of the groups will do steps, or dances, or skits, etc.  This is always fun to watch.  Another thing I really love about Greek Week, is that a lot of alumni come back to Fayette for the weekend!  It's really excited to see old friends again.

It really feels like this week has flown by.  Next week is the last week of this term for the Grad Students, and the following week is the last week for the Undergraduate term.  Then Graduation!  Yay!  My roommate is graduating.  I'm really excited for him.  I remember my family coming out to see me walk last year.  It's kind of an overwhelming experience.  You have to make sure you're in the right place, and gowns, etc. have to be taken back by a certain time, and pictures have to be taken, and then if you want to see a friend who's graduating in a different ceremony you have to work that in, meanwhile you're trying to enjoy the last few hours you have with your family and friends all together.  ....A little hectic.

I will be leaving Fayette in a little less than a month.  I am sad, but at the same time anxious to go.  I have to move back home for a few months before making the move to Missouri.  While at home, I have a job lined up helping my cousin clean houses.  Doesn't sound very fun, right?  Well, its one of the most fun jobs I have ever had.  We do some pretty gross, dirty work, but we are a great team and have a lot of fun while we work.  Just goes to show that no matter what task you may be doing, the people you work with and the attitude you have makes all the difference.
