Everything is Happening!
If you didn't know, this week is Homecoming week here at Ouachita, which also means it's Tiger Tunes week. For almost everyone on campus, this is the busiest week all year. On top of our classes, there are so many various activities on campus that keep us constantly going, especially if you're involved in the band, a social club, Campus Ministries, or Student Life. For those of you who don't know what Tiger Tunes is, it's a show put on by the Ouachita Student Foundation to raise money for student scholarships. The different clubs and groups on campus pick a theme for their show, some of this year's include Pirates, Ghosts, Barbershop, and Genies, and they mashup songs to fit their theme. It's a whole lot of fun and it's a time when a lot of different groups come together for a great cause. Since I'm in the band, I just participate in the Tiger Blast show every year, where we take our marching show and bring it indoors! This week is incredibly demanding for the marching band because not only do we have Tunes performances Tuesday-Saturday (with two Tunes shows on Saturday), we also have to perform at a pep rally on Friday and during the half-time show at the Homecoming football game on Saturday. It's exhausting and after this week I will likely just sleep all day Sunday, but it is a great experience that I'm glad I get to be a part of.
This week has also been trying because the president of our chapter in SAI unexpectedly decided to resign from her position. We're in the middle of initiating a new pledge class so this news was pretty shocking to us and made us unsure of what to do next. We will be electing a new president on Sunday, so hopefully we will get everything back in order soon. Thankfully, our sisters from the Henderson chapter across the street are going to help us out, because they have gone through some things like this before and sort of know what to do.
With all the craziness happening this week, I am for sure looking forward to fall break at the end of next week. It will be much needed for sure. I think that's all I really have to cover for now, except a blog challenge announcement! I am going to be doing a spooky/fall/Halloween outfit challenge during this month! At the end of each week I will share all of my outfits that I have worn throughout the week. Stay tuned for the last 10 days or so leading up to Halloween because that's when the outfits are going to get really amazing!
