Walk-a-Mile, Formal, and Finals

Hey readers,

This past Saturday was jam packed with fraternity events.  In the morning we did Walk-a-Mile in her shoes.  This is an event where the Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha get in heels and walk a mile to Waypoint family services.  Waypoint is a women's shelter which we raise money for every year!  Lambda Chi formal was Saturday night.  Formal is a dinner and dance that you brig a date to.  It is always a lot of fun and I look forward to it every year.  This weekend finals start.  It is bittersweet that school is coming to an end for the summer.  It is always nice to have a break but leaving Coe is sad.  But my Summer will be jammed packed with Africa and my internship in the Emergency Room.  I will be continuing my blog over the Summer and when in Africa (when I have web access).  I attached pictures from this weekend!  Thanks for reading!  Talk to you soon!

Easter leading to a crazy week!

Hello Readers,

This past weekend I went home for Easter and it was great to see all my family and friends.  Its always fun to sit and laugh with all your family you haven't seen since Christmas!  The weekend home was a much need break but this is going to be a busy week.  Yesterday I had a test in Nursing Research.  I think I did well and now that is off my chest.  Today is the softball game and I am excited to go support the team while serving popcorn for the student alumni association.  The weather is beautiful.  Tomorrow is Research Symposium Day. Research Symposium Day is a day where there is no class scheduled but students present their research all day long all over campus.  It is always fun to go see what my peers have been working hard on this semester.  Friday night I will be at Clinical.  This Saturday I am teaching a Boy Scout Merit badge class on first aid on campus.  This is am opportunity I got through Lambda Chi Alpha.  This should be a fun day because I was a boy scout myself!  Its crazy to think there is only two weeks of school left, then I will be Africa bound for May Term!  Thanks for reading and e-mail me at janylin@coe.edu if you have any questions!

Here is my moms' wonderful Easter idea! :)

 

Greek Week

Last week was Greek week.  Greek week is a week full of fun with all the Greeks on campus.  Events ranging from a bonfire and bowling to Greek Olympics and a cook out.  Greek week is always a blast because it gets the Greek community together on campus.  During this week we also have a can food drive for the local pantry and we also ended the week with an event called Spring 500.  Spring 500 is an event where the Greeks give back a total of 500 hours to the community by doing work for the elderly at their home.  The work ranged from window washing to yard work.  This event is always fun because we get to hang out with each other while helping people in need.  Greek week was a success and I can't wait until next year!
