			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy day everyone! Since it is now officially summer, my blogging duties for Butler University get a little breaky-break. Since this blog is through the <a href="http://www.butler.edu/admission/" target="_blank">Office of Admissions,</a> and there is no school happening right now (quite obviously), my blogging duties are on hold until school starts up again. I know what you&#8217;re thinking&#8230;&#8221;WHAT? She&#8217;s done blogging for the whole summer?! How will I ever carry on without Bekah&#8217;s wit and insight three times a week?! Ohhh the humanity!!!!&#8221; Well, don&#8217;t fret my dear readers. I started up a blog specifically to keep up with during the summer so everyone is happy. You&#8217;re welcome.</p>
<p>Prior to keeping this blog this year, I never kept up with a blog for fun, just ones I had to make for school. Well, by golly I loved blogging so much that I decided to make a new blog to keep up with during the summer. I don&#8217;t have anything on there yet, but I am going to blog on there at least once a week, and I plan on posting any vlogs I do on there as well, so I&#8217;m not out of your lives yet. I will post the link below if you are interested in reading some more of my blog posts.</p>
<p><a href="http://bekpollard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">THE LINK TO MY BLOG IS RIGHT HERE. CLICK ME! </a></p>
<p>Thank you so very much for reading throughout this past school year, and feel free to scroll through and read all of my hilarious and inspiring (I&#8217;m like, really humble) posts from this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Typically for most students summer is a time to relax and enjoy life. For me summer is all about saving money, which means I need to stop spending money. Unfortunately my friends love to spend money it seems like. I really don&#8217;t have that option right now. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p><strong>#1. Study Abroad (hopefully)<br />
</strong>Next year I plan on studying abroad in Australia during the spring semester. While I hope that it all works out that means I really need to save money in order to do all the things I want. I also am trying to figure out how much flights are from Australia to Japan so that I can possibly visit family there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/katie/files/2013/05/australia.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-846" src="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/katie/files/2013/05/australia-300x137.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="137" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>#2. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE</strong><br />
Say whatever you want, but I must attend the Justin Timberlake concert. I am willing to forgo all other summer concerts just to see him in December. This probably seems extremely ridiculous, but I can&#8217;t help it. Buying Justin Timberlake tickets though isn&#8217;t cheap, which is just another reason among others why saving money is mandatory this summer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/katie/files/2013/05/jt.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-847" src="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/katie/files/2013/05/jt.jpeg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><strong>#3. Gas<br />
</strong>More importantly I pay for a lot of my own things. I pay for gas, my clothes (except for work, thanks dad) and going out with friends. On the top of those things gas is the most important, however, sometimes I forget that minor detail and spend gas money on other things. I am trying to work on that.</p>
<p>While this summer will still somewhat be fun, I definitely need to save as much as I can. This probably means that I will need to teach myself something so I can consume my time without shopping&#8230;</p>

<p>The event started at 1 AM.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.butler.edu/orientation-programs/get-to-know-bu/campus-traditions/">Spring Sports Spectacular</a>, held every spring, raises money for the Special Olympics and allows for campus wide competition in an array of sports. I didn’t care about the basketball or Oreo stacking. Ultimate Frisbee was all I concerned myself with. I had won my freshman and sophomore years, but Phi Delta Theta’s team had foundered last year while I was abroad.</p>
<p>We were back for revenge.</p>
<p>The event started at 1 AM. I thought it might be cause for concern, but as soon as I was on the field my blood was pumping and all I wanted to do was chase that disc. Under the fluorescent lights we won a hard fought game against Phi Kappa Psi, wining in overtime. Delta Tau Delta was our next competition.</p>
<p>Mid-Game, it happened. <em>Pop</em>. I had been on defense when I stumbled and the offender came down on my leg. <em>Pop.</em> I knew immediately that I was done, and that <a href="http://whatshouldultimatecallme.tumblr.com/post/34705266518/when-im-injured-but-still-hang-out-at-the-tournament">I would be on the sidelines</a> for the remainder of the game.</p>
<p>As I rode off to the ER in my friend’s car at three in the morning, trying to stabilize the bone that seemed to move anytime we hit a bump, I didn’t even consider how different the end of my year would be.<a href="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/andrew/files/2013/05/Picture-1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1556" src="http://www.butler.edu/admission/student-perspectives/blogs/andrew/files/2013/05/Picture-1-300x224.png" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Break a leg!” my friend’s mom told me as I shuffled the multi-colored index cards in my hands, trying to bring the edges completely even. I didn’t pay much attention to the innocuous comment. I paid little attention to anything other than this presentation, since it was one of the final goals of my year.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.butler.edu/undergrad-research-conference/">Undergraduate Research Conference</a> is held once a year at Butler University, and features the scholarly work of students from several other universities. At my own panel, I would be presenting with three other students from different universities who had also completed works of creative writing.</p>

<p>I was presenting my <a href="http://www.butler.edu/media/3151181/urc-program-2013_final.pdf">honors thesis</a>, a project in two parts. First, there was the piece of science fiction called Kala, focused on a girl who has been torn from her home by a group of terrorists and turned into a cyborg, all to battle the an oppressive government. The second part featured a research paper that synthesized cyborg theory with thought of Romantic writers in the 18th century and examined how these forces were at play in my fiction.</p>
<p>The presentation went off without a hitch, and I didn’t have anything else to worry about for that weekend. In fact, I only some ultimate Frisbee to look forward to that night…</p>
