Student Government Association

Last night, I was elected to be a senator representing Armor College of Engineering! SGA does lots of things from approving and organizing student organizations, to planning student life activities. I think I'm interested in also being on the Academic Affairs sub-committee (all senators serve on sub-committees too). My good friend is the Academic Affairs executive board member, and we've been brain storming some exciting ideas about improving academic life on campus. I love to see things moving forward on campus, so I'm really enthusiastic about being apart of it!

Unfortunatly, finals are in sight, and these final projects won't finish themselves on their own. It's looking like it's going to be a couple long nights coming up here. Hopefully, I can knock my two lab reports today, leaving only my paper to be finished up tomorrow. My goal is to be able to sleep both tonight and tomorrow at least for a few hours.

Thankfully, Friday afternoon is the Student Ambassador party! And, Friday night is the SigEp's Date Dinner. At student ambassador party were grilling out and date dinner is clearly, a dinner. So, once all these final projects are done, I have a fun Friday planned which includes lots of food! When Saturday rolls around, it's back to studying though, cause finals are next week!

Final Sprint!

The X-Chormosomes, The Crown Jewels, and The Techtonics

Friday night the Bog was PACKED for the a cappella concert. The a cappella group here on campus has three different sub-groups:

The X-Chromosomes--an all girls group
The Crown Jewels--an all boys group
The Techtonics--8 girls, 8 boys

All three groups gave an excellent show! As a recently formed student organization, the group as seen a continuous rise in attendees at their concerts, and the attendees have seen a continuous rise in creativity and talent from the group. It was great to see the bog so packed. Normally, it's tough to get students out for events when finals are so close, but IIT students tend to love good music almost as much as they love math.
