| March 27, 2004 2:51 am Ok, so this week definitely kicked my ass. Chem test..hahahaha...and bio...well...eh. But in addition to all of this, there has been added another issue. Perhaps the worst part of this issue is what to do about it. It has pretty much been decided that it will never be resolved, and will only either die down or simply explode. I don't think I can let it die. I want to. I want to make it just go away and never be mentioned or thought of again, but I can't. Something about it bugs the hell out of me and affects the way I think about certain people. And I don't want to think differently about these people, I believe, I know these people are above that. Yet at the same time, I don't know if I'm justified. Obviously all of this is very subjective and possibly self-righteous, and I hate the self-righteous. But what if the self-righteousness, for a change, is not misplaced? And I know amibuity is in abundance tonight, but other ambiguities make this one quite justified. Anyway, so I went to an initiation party for another sorority tonight. It felt awkward and imposing as well as well-intentioned and friendly. It was awkward in that we went and were the only non-members of the sorority. Weird. Yes. Yet, our presence was seemingly appreciated by several of the sisters and was taken to mean something in the best of intentions. And that was wordy. I know. Its late...cut me some slack. Then I went to the house and hung out with a few sisters until Vicky fell asleep watching The Bachelor (the movie, not the show). And hung out with our boys. I love our boys. Todd, Shardule, Aehle and at times even Ben. No matter what people say, they have seriously gotta be the coolest, most genuine men on the planet. Despite their shadiness every once and a while, still they come through in the most unexpected, and regrettably sometimes overlooked, ways. Stay dry. |
| March 28, 2004 3:37 am So yea, today (or rather last night) was my AXO formal. Quite possibly the most comfortable and the best dance I've ever been to. Mostly because I knew that I was among all friends. 64 of them. And during the slow songs when sadly, yes, I had no date, I could go to any table and strike up a convo w/ a sister. That's a cool feeling. Anyway, the formal was kick ass. Food was kick ass. Guys were kick ass. My dress apparently was also kick ass, though maybe I need to start working out again just a bit...lol. Came back and just chilled until another false (burnt popcorn) set off the fire alarm. And then our boys came back. Gotta say they all looked pimp as hell in their suits. Shardule in his hot Indian get-up and Todd in his pinstripe suit. Daaaaaammmnnn.... So yea. Everyone had a good time tonite, except for my roommate. Feel kinda bad since I'm not as close with her as maybe I should be, but I think I helped out a little. Hope I did anyway. Oh yea... I also rocked the Fuller Prize translation. It was from Cicero, and it translating it was easy enough...or so it seemed. I really think it'll come down to me and the guy who won it last year. I also picked up some sexy old texts of Plaunus and Vergil and a little Catullus. Dirty latin poetry is my new hobby... ;) Also discussed with my mom earlier today plans of visiting relatives in sunny, orangey Florida during the summer. THinking about flying down there and staying with relatives and Vicky coming with me. It'd be sweet as hell. And my language is abominable. I am slowly deteriorating into ghetto-talk and slang. It must be stopped. so before I embarass my english professor anymore, I'll just stop. night all. |
| April 2, 2004 12:31 am Hola! Not only was it April Fool's Day today, but it is also the second day into Greek Week!!! Hell yea! AXO in da house. Representing thus far with 3 First Places and 1 Second Today was the second best event of events... VARIETY SHOW!!!! Our girls never looked so damn hot or so cool in those moves choreographed by the AMAZING Tracy Fuller. Did our best, but still only came out in 2nd. Ah well...the week's not over. ANd then there were the boys...oh lord. From Hot Dealer Guy (Jon from Delta Tau Delta) to the surprising sweetness and talent of the footballing Phi Delts and to the hot moves and cool groves of Phi Kappa Tau, Variety Show was a hit! Our Boys in Phi Tau sure as hell put on their moves and were freaking amazing. Toddikins showed his stuff, and Shardule also represented Tyler House well. Anyway, besides Greek Week the next few weeks of school will be all hell. Had an abstract due yesterday at 8pm, finished at 730. Looked up 11 sources in 20 minutes. I am a KSL god. Worship me. I also am hosting a prospective student on the 7th, got a chem test the 8th, outline due the 8th, and a Calc test this Tuesday. Wohooo! My life is gonna suck. BUT to make it suck less, I'm gonna start studying NOW! Ciao. |
| April 4, 2004 3:04 am So our clocks just jumped ahead by an hour. That sux. real hard. I gotta say I never really thot it would affect me that much, but man, that extra hour woulda been nice. Anyway, Greek Week is still going on. Tomorrow is the last day, and we have a shot. Rope pull is the only event left, and its the one that matters the most for us. I'm really looking forward to it and cheering on all my AXO sisters (in a totally, sincerely, panhellenic way)!!!! Go Greeks!!! :) Also, last night (as in friday night) we went with the boys to see Miracle like we promised. It was a little late, but late is better than never. It was a good bonding experience for a change. Todd, as it turns out, is a self-conscious runner...he won't run with other people watching. ITs kinda strange. But we ran through the quad anyway on the way to Strosacker (aka Sack Stroker) for the movie. Oh yea, the wife of the hockey coach dude in the movie name was Patty, and then we watched Dude Where's My Car tonight and lol...there's a transexual named Patty. Oh joy. I'm just popping up everywhere it seems. ANyway, I still have a lot of stuff to do for this week...started studying for calc and have actually understood most of the problems. Hopefully I can live up to the standards our guys set last semester. Anyway, yea, that hour is really gonna screw my schedule over. Lol. Have a great day everyone! |
| April 6, 2004 8:37 pm So yea, I'm procrastinating. As always. BUt today I came to a very important realization thanks to a random BioEthics Professor... Being good is good. And healthy. Biochemically healthy even. How amazing is that? And its proven, numerous studies done in a scientific, legitimate way. Altruism my friend is at the heart of every human...its is human nature. Amazing stuff. Enough to make me want to take a bioethics course. This prof knew everything. From psychology to philosophy to biology to economics...everything. That's amazing. And he was a great speaker. Great. I also came to another realization while listening to him talk...he told us this story about how he told his dad who he was going to marry... "dad, I think I'll marry ______". ANd his dad said, "but wouldn't you rather marry Wendy?" But the story wasn't the thing, it was the look on his face when he was telling the story. I want that look. I want to be married for 23 years and give that look to people when I tell them a story. Philos |
