Struggle City

I apologize to all of you who care enough about me that have been checking the website to see no updates. The website was definitely put on the backburner, and I kick myself daily that I haven't been documenting my travels. This past semester was amazing, and I can't even explain the experience I have already had. The places I've seen, the sporting events I've been to, the sights I've seen, and the people I've met have made this job ideal for me. I'll try to do my best to recap the past semester, and to continue to update this website throughout this semester and next year.

18,000 miles since August gave me the opportunity to think. What do I want to do with myself after this job? Do I go back to school, test out the job market, keep looking for that million dollar idea, or continute with the Fraternity? All of these options have their pros and cons, but I still have three semesters to make my decision.

The work has definitely been the most rewarding. I'm at an organization I really care about, and work along some great people. It's been a great experience working with the chapters to help them improve. I even had the chance to go back to ISU to work with the guys. Very rewarding!

Good times...
