Life in the Exciting Lane!

Whoop!

This has been one fun filled, exiting week! The semester is quickly approaching and I definately find myself in the fast lane... the exciting fast lane that is! Let’s see… where to start? Parents Weekend! This past weekend was nothing short of amazing.

Event 1. On Friday, my roommates and I got to take part in Aggie Ring Day. Our fourth roommate Kristen, got her fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring! Personally, this was my very first experience of this special Aggie Tradition. It was so neat to see everyone’s face light up as they put that shiny piece of gold on their finger for the very first time.

Event 2. After Ring Day, my mom finally arrived in Aggieland! I had been so anxious and excited all week, it actually didn’t seem like Friday would ever get here. We had such a great weekend together and I was sad when she had to leave. Parents Weekend is another neat tradition because there are so many different events and activities going on throughout the weekend. The campus of Texas A&M truly rolls out the red carpet for each and every parent.

Event 3. Here’s is where the WHOOP comes in! It was official, on Tuesday, I and the entire class of 2010 was officially able to WHOOP all we so desired. Pull-out day is yet again, another awesome tradition.

Event 4. I bet you are wondering, is this going to be a tradition also? Well of course it is! However this tradition is far less fun and upbeat, yet one of my all time favorite parts of being considered a member of the Aggie Family… Muster. How awesome it is to see thousands of people gather together to honor and reflect on the lives of those individuals who are no longer with us in flesh, but present in spirit. This was my second year to have the opportunity to serve as a Muster Host. I love Muster, and even more than that, I love getting to meet and visit with the families. Whether grieving or at peace, it just makes Muster that much more memorable. Also a fun event is attending the Barbeque with all of the members of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 1960. Each year, a class celebrates their 50th reunion during the time of Muster. It is so neat visiting with Former Students and comparing the differences of their Aggie Experience as compared to mine.

Event 5. Well… good question! I am trying to wrap up classes, get summer plans squared away, and enjoy the last few days of school. I will officially be done with classes on April 28th because I lucked out and have no finals! I can’t wait for a very much needed break, and I hope each of you have a great rest of the semester!

Be Blessed,
Macy
