My entire life I looked forward to the day when I finally got to move off to college and be on my own. Do you know what I’m saying now? Only two more days… only two more days! Yep, that’s right! Only two more days until I finally get to go home for Thanksgiving! My current emotions=Anxious & Excited! I was looking through my planner earlier today and realized that it’s been almost two months since I last went home, or saw my family. Me being the mommy’s & daddy’s girl that I am, 2 months is entirely too long! I can’t wait to be home and get to spend lots of time with all of my friends and family.
Since this is my first post, I guess I should start by telling you a little bit about myself. As you might know, my name is Macy Eaves and I am currently a sophomore Agriculture Leadership & Development major from Stephenville, TX. Here at Texas A&M University, I am a member of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Student Council (COALS Council), an Aggie Rep for the Department of Agriculture Leadership, Education, & Communication (ALEC), and also a member of the Saddle & Sirloin Club. I was previously involved in the Memorial Student Center Aggie Leaders of Tomorrow (MSC ALOT), served as a 2009 Muster Host, as well as a 2008-2009 Texas FFA State Vice-President. All of these experiences within my college career have helped me in a number of ways, all while allowing my Aggie experience thus far to be a great one.
Looking forward in my planner to the next couple of weeks also provide me with a multitude of emotions. I am definitely excited the semester is drawing to an end, a little nervous for finals, and also a little stressed. Taking 17 hours while working 20 hours per week was probably not the smartest decision I’ve made in my life! 
This being my first post, I’ll keep it short and simple. I look forward to upcoming posts and I would like to thank you for your time & interest in my college experience. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! BTHO TU!
Be Blessed,
Macy

As some of you may know, President Barack Obama will be on campus this week. (More specifically, the 16th). As some of you may also know, this week is “Coming Out Week”, and the Battalion has already made mention of the event.
Seeing as this is my first post for Aggie Blogs, I just wanted to offer a word of friendly Aggie encouragement for the week and sentiments to live by in the future… Read more…

Boy it’s quiet around here. The graduation ceremonies are over, the students have (for the most part) left town for right now so the campus goes into summer mode. To go from the excitement and chatter of over 5,800 graduates and their family members to only hearing the sound of blowers and mowers is interesting. While not a total ghost town, it is a little eerie.
But shortly, we’ll be welcoming a new class of incoming freshman, graduate and transfer students. That’s right, New Student Conferences are less than 10 days away. For students, this is a great welcoming into the Aggie family and the opportunity to meet other Aggies, learn about resources and services. You’ll learn some ins and outs of Aggie life, Aggie traditions, plus weave your way around the campus visiting advisers, etc.
However, don’t let the New Student Conference name fool you. This is a family affair. Parents have their own sessions to learn about everything from residence halls and meal plans to loans and student life. There’s also plenty of opportunities to meet other parents of incoming Aggies.
So I’m going to enjoy the quiet, get a little more work done, and for those of you coming to visit, we look forward to seeing you.

Tuesday night I received a group invitation on facebook.com to attend a flash mob rave on Thursday afternoon. Little did I know how big of an event this would turn out to be and how many Aggies would attend. After I saw the youtube video on the event group page showing a flash mob rave at UNC Chapel Hill I realized what fun this would be and rsvp’ed by clicking “attending event.” Since construction begins this summer on the new MSC I will always remember our old home with a smile. I’ll think about the nine-minute shindig that took place at 12:15 Wednesday April 29, 2009. The Aggie spirit is alive and well my friends.

During the hours of noon to five, nothing very interesting happens. Students are, for the better part of the afternoon, in school; grown-ups are punching a time-clock, and senior citizens are re-adjusting dentures after dinner. It’s a less than colorful time.
Unless, of course, you’re in a movie theatre.
