What and exciting night!!

Wow, this has been a rather exciting night! It all started about a month ago when I got invited to join Kappa Omicron Nu, a national honor society for the Human Environmental Sciences majors, which includes Child Development. So at the first meeting we had, when we signed the book that we were a member, I became the 1000th member of the society at Meredith! I made history - woohoo!
So tonight was our induction night. It was a very special ceremony and packed Jones Chapel. Mom and dad came of course and it was very nice for them to meet my professors that I talk about all the time as well as some of my peers.
After a rainy ride home and while I was in the midst of changing the sheets on my bed from flannel to regular sheets (which means warm weather is coming - yay!), my phone vibrated which meant new mail! I checked my email and had two rather exciting emails. The first was from one of my CD professors congratulating my group on our families workshop that we taught last night to some women at Matthew's House in Raleigh. The next one was from an education professor inviting me to join the new education honor society at Meredith - Kappa Delta Pi! I had a feeling that I would get invited to join this honor society, but is was still super exciting to get the invitation - especially on the same night as I got inducted into KONu! Inductions are in a little over a month so there will be another exciting night :)
I am now realizing that all of this hard work that I am putting in is finally paying off. Yes it pays off every semester in terms of my GPA, but now that is paying off and I am getting invited to join some really prestigious honor societies. Speaking of hard work - I am now officially on spring break, but too bad that spring break doesn't mean a break from work to be done - only a break from classes. Have a ton of work that I need and would like to get done so that when classes get back in swing, these things will already be done!
