These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Getting back to school, starting new classes, formal recruitment, our chinchilla needing emergency care, my girlfriend's car breaking...and new years begun at The Transcript, Delta Zeta and PRIDE.

I have wonderful teams of people behind me everywhere I go and in everything I do. If not for them, I'd be lost.

I was officially transitioned into being the president of DZ tonight, after months of preparation. It's stunning to me how much faith my sisters have that I can leave them. And I think I keep learning more about myself as I take into consideration I have 61 other women to take care of, guide, and love every day. It's amazing. And it's also a little scary!

PRIDE is off like a rocket. The club has really come into its own. We got great new blood with our freshman class, and the whole group is very passionate about what we are doing. As with anything, I wish we could do more. And I wish we could make more of an impact on the local community. I really hope to see Ohio legalize gay marriage. Soon. Well, maybe soon is too hopeful. Someday? Can I just settle for someday?

Sigh.

The newspaper is something I love to do. I am glad to be on staff as an editor. Every day I am learning how to be a better journalist. Two of my sisters in DZ are on the leadership staff with me so that makes me very happy. Funny thing, they both come to PRIDE as well. Do I just attract journos who care about LGBTIQ rights?

Nah. It's more like I just attract wonderful people.

I'm so glad I have such a great group of friends and fellow leaders.

Leah tops them all though. :) We have been through a lot this week. She is so amazing and strong. I am so lucky she is my partner.

Get better, Pacco! We miss you!
