I completely forgot this blog existed

(obviously). It is quite entertaining, though. Odd to see how I was thinking and feeling as a First Year. Almost five years ago, holy shit. I feel like I always enjoy what I'm doing as I'm doing it (evidenced by my exuberance in the previous posts), but in hindsight I always feel like I could have made better/smarter choices. On a bigger, more philosophical scale. Oh well.

Now if only I could dig up my Xanga archive...

Library

I've been in Clark for 6.5 hours. Probably staying another hour. Record? Also, I hate my life. Two midterms tomorrow? ten minutes in between? FUCK. Tomorrow at 1:00 is going to be the biggest relief ever.

In Stat

every half hour or so i decide to actually pay attention, and within one minute i've caught up to where my professor is. somehow he makes probability sound like the most complicated thing in the world. aka i've decided not to listen to him, but instead to teach myself stat through the lecture slides and the book. it's going well so far :)

also, i quit crew. on saturday. and i couldn't be happier about it. going to get involved with a bunch of volunteer stuff with my best friends, and probably join a sorority. i might audition for a cappella again but i doubt that'll result in anything...

and as for the sorority thing, i'm going on lunch dates with two different girls in one sorority, so i feel like i'll have an "in" there. yay :) i can't wait to rush...

also, gonna see my new house in three days!!! and i get to drive home two hours with my brother (and since we're best friends now it's going to be funnnn)

and after break we shall have the necessary materials to pregame (power hour?) soooo yay. also, char and i are dying to join the century club :)

fb time. <3

18 at last.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

Found.

Found my new home, the Music Library. Has awesome books, comfy chairs, computers, tables, etc, and is super quiet. Because basically nobody knows about it. SO it's awesome. And aww, I see the cute little Asian guy who is our accompanist for Women's Chorus. Haha, so adorable. But basically I have a shit ton of reading to do that I'm not gonna do because I can't focus. And I realized I have to get lunch before my next class (at 12:30) so unfortunately I have to leave my library. It's so awesome, it's like underground. With this cool white brick and these columns.

Anyways. More crew today. And this "Progressive Dessert" thing at 10:00 tonight with my dorm. Holla! I can't decide whether I want to make the team or not. Half the time I think that I'm not cut out for it- I'm not as strong as these girls and it would just kill me to do it. But the rest of the time I crave rowing and figure I should just put up with the shit ton of erging we do because the rowing makes it worth it. I dunno. I feel like if I make the team I'll be happy but my life will sort of be hell, and if I don't make it I'll be disappointed but my life will get way easier. I also want to do UJC and Mock Trial, but I don't think I have time. Maybe next year. And I might have sort of decided I want to major in Media Studies instead of Political Science? But with a focus in Politics. Anyways. I love how I don't even have chorus tonight but I'm still hella busy and have no free time.

OKAY, I think we can all understand that the moral of the story is that MEREDITH AND DANA ARE COMING in three weeks :) And so that will keep me going for a few weeks at least ;) Also excited for Friday night, when we have "New Girls Night" for chorus, followed by partying at someone's apartment. And we're taking a break from ZBT Thursday/this weekend because we spend too much time there. Char/Laur think that they're gonna be begging us to come back after a few days of partying without us, but I'm not so sure. Regardless, we'll probably be back the next weekend. AKA MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND. So weird. But also, NFL starts this weekend and I need to find somewhere to watch it. I might just steal Char/Laur's tv for the weekend :) And also, if timing works out, we'll all be watching Melrose Place tonight. Yesss.

Okay, time for lunch. <3

tomorrow

Epic Day.
10:30- crew practice at University Hall
after- reading, cleaning up, showering, etc.
2:00ish- my best friend arrives :)
4:00ish- my darling mother arrives :)
after- tailgate at ZBT? or elsewhere? chorus apartment? we'll see.
6:00- FIRST FOOTBALL GAME aka us kicking W&M's ass. char and i memorized the good ole song, so we're all set.
after- frat parties? or maybe staying in with my bestie. we'll see.

tonight was fun, i was basically so hungover (or a mix of being hungover and being sore from exercising) that i could barely keep my eyes open all day, so we all decided to stay in tonight (friday night? crazy, right?). so we watched clueless :) and chit chatted. di, laur, char, et moi. then stuart came because he was sexiled. haha. now i'm "reading" aka about to fall asleep. love college.

STAT

sitting in class. such a waste of time. i can tell i'll just be teaching myself statistics this semester. i got a few homework problems done, though...

craving coffee like no other right now.

potentially starting crew today, if my paperwork cleared. how exciting.

okay i can't focus right now. = bye.
