It's time for it to be Friday.
I woke up 15 minutes before I had to leave for my 8:30 this morning. I'm one of those people that hits the snooze button a million times before actually getting up. So I didn't shower today (that's not unusual for me). But I don't have my 9 tomorrow so I should have plenty of time to shower in the morning as long as I can make myself get up....which won't be until
9 o'clock. :)
I don't have my speech class tomorrow because I have to do 2 things that are "out of my comfort zone" and write a paragraph about them. I haven't done either yet....and I'm not sure what I'm going to do....so if I come up to you and do something weird there's a good chance it's for my class.
I'm officially all mixed out. I only went to Zeta Rho today and I really don't feel like going to any more....but I have to go to the ones next week. gah....my cheeks hurt. And I hate small talk. And I hate meeting people knowing I won't remember them and they won't remember me.
Tonight we went to the underground and played Life. I'm pretty sure I've never had that much fun playing Life before. My stomach hurt from laughing.
I really need to do laundry. I'm running out of clothes.
Facebook is taking over my life. I don't think I ever get online without checking it. I'm obsessed.
My roomate is currently playing frisbee with the girls across the hall...across the hall. They are not very good. I do not feel safe. I think they just broke something....
So I ended up getting like 5 hours of sleep last night, which probably wasn't a good idea. I was extremely tired pretty much all day today. And it's definitely started to show the past couple hours.
The weather was so nice today....just cool enough for a light jacket....very fallish. But that's good because I love fall. I almost fell asleep in chapel, I fell asleep in history, and I slept through lunch. But as usual, French and Bible picked up the pace and it got better from there. Brittany and I ate dinner at like 4:30 and we went to the Delta Gamma Rho mixer at 5. It was definitely the best so far and Bree Terry is one of my favorite people in the whole world. I would join Delta Gamma just for her....but there are lots of other cool girls too. If I did join, it really wouldn't have anything to do with Caitlin or Jaclyn.
I went to a devo at my bible teacher's house (Matt Miller) and it was pretty good....better than the french devo I went to last week. I'm not sure if that's going to become a regular thing or not, but we'll see.
After that, I just got in a really bad mood....several reasons, but a big one being my ipod pretty much completely stopped working. The screen was frozen and there was no kind of response to anything. So I got to be whiny for about an hour while I ate and watched Gilmore Girls....and then Brittany fixed it. I think I'm just really tired though....so I'm going to bed.
Day 2 of mixers was pretty good. Iota Chi's theme was Saved By The Bell so that was way fun to get dressed up for but definitely not the type of club I want to join (if I join one at all). Chi Kappa Rho's theme was pirates so that was also very fun to dress up for and the mixer in general was, in my opinion, better than Iota Chi, but I didn't really feel like that was the club for me. The last one was Pi Theta Phi, which was a cereal mixer. It was a lot of fun and I met some awesome girls. Out of the 5 I've been to so far that was probably my favorite (Sorry Jess!!). I just felt more comfortable around those girls and I had better conversations than with the other club girls. But I still just don't know if the club thing is for me....I mean if money wasn't an issue I would probably join some club, but since it is, I'm not going to join a club unless I really feel like that's what God wants me to do. So there will definitely be some prayers in that department.
Today, other than club stuff, was pretty blah. I spent money that I shouldn't have spent, got upset about some things I shouldn't have gotten upset about, and my ipod was acting really weird, which is never a good thing. Earlier today I couldn't get it to turn off, so I just left it on assuming it would go off on its own after not being used for a while. But no, it stayed on. And I tried to turn it on a minute ago and the apple came up and then it shut off with "the line" thing that televisions do sometimes. It would make sense that the battery's dead, so I plugged it into my computer to charge it and a battery came up but it wasn't the charging battery that's normally there and then it started beeping....but it seems to be semi-normal again. I'll leave it plugged in tonight and hopefully it'll be better by tomorrow.
I don't know if you guys know this, but grapes are delicious. I always forget that, but then I eat some and I'm reminded and it's just....mmm. Oh yeah!!! I also got to ride in a fire truck!!! I got to honk the horn and everything!!! That and grapes made the day so much better.
But yeah.....it was definitely a driving day, which means it's a dashboard day. And if you listen to dashboard, you know what I mean.
I'm so glad I have my car.
Classes today were pretty good. My communication class isn't meeting Friday and I managed to stay awake in history for once, although chapel wasn't quite so interesting today.
In other news social club mixers started today. I went to ki omega pi (rep your state) and kappa gamma epsilan (ghetto fabulous). It was fun getting dressed up for kappa gamma. It's my new facebook picture. :) But both clubs were okay, although I definitely don't want to join either. There's a chance I won't even join a club but it's fun to go to the mixers and meet people I suppose.
I have to read and do french homework tonight because I'm going to try to go to all 4 mixers tomorrow sooo...night.
Well, I've been an official college kid for a week now. And I must say, it's even better than I expected. It makes me realize exactly how horrible my high school really was. But I'm doing this blog for extra credit and I'm supposed to talk about school and stuff so...
The first week of school was pretty good. Mon/Wed/Fri I have Communication at 9, American History at 11, and French at 1. Tues/Thurs I have Physical Science at 8:30. Then I have Chapel at 10 and New Testament at 2 every day. The only class I don't like is American History (before 1877). They call my teacher "sedat'em statom" if that tells you anything. It's the type of stuff I should have learned in high school and I wish I could learn now....but it's so hard to stay awake. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet.
French is definitely hard, because even though I loved Mrs. Simon, it wasn't a very serious class. So there's a lot of stuff I should know after taking 4 years, but I don't. So it's going to be tough....but a lot of motivation is going to come from my NT class. My teacher is a missionary in Togo, Africa...which is partially a French-speaking country and the first day he said part of the reason he's teaching the class is to recruit people to go with him....*sigh* that would be a dream come true! I've always wanted to go to Africa. We'll see how that goes though.
For everyone that goes to a real college....I'm sorry. I truly pity you because Harding is the most amazing school ever. People are so nice and you meet people every day and the teachers actually care about you. Almost every single one of my teachers on the first day of classes said something like "If any of you ever need someone to talk to, if you're having any kind of problems or issues, or you just want someone to pray for you or with you, please, PLEASE come talk to me. My door's always open if you need to talk." That kind of thing doesn't happen at state schools. I mean, even if you're not a spirtual person, the people here are so nice. So if anyone's having a crappy time at college, you should think about transferring. :) Harding rocks real schools.
If you're thinking "I wouldn't mind Harding at all....but Searcy...." Well it's really not that bad. As long as you hang out with the right people you'll find something to do. And I mean....TYLER HILTON was here!!! And they show movies in the Benson almost every weekend. AND....when you have awesome people on your hall....like I do....it is never boring. We've already had chair racing, a dance party, a "late night" trip to DQ, and tonight's a Zoolander party. It's as good as you make it....
But I actually have homework....and I haven't had lunch so peace out.
