I updated yesterday, but for some reason my internet connection decided to flip me the bird and time out before posting...so I lost everything I posted. Ucky.
In any case, life has been moving by so fast that I haven't even noticed. It didn't even occur to me just how busy I've been until I talked to my mother yesterday. It turns out that she had called me twice in the past few days, but I didn't find out about that until I talked to Marie for her birthday. I probably would have forgotten to check my voicemail for at least a few more days if she hadn't mentioned my mother saying something about it to her. Oopsie.
When I finally called her to relate the events of the past several days, it really caught up with me just how much I had done. I had (and still have) so much on my plate, and yet I'm still getting it all done! I feel like a machine. A coffee powered machine.
Rush has been going surprisingly well. As it turns out, Chi Omega really does want me to join. I've been asked to prefferentials tonight at 10:45 (I'm gonna need to get dressed up for this...too bad I don't have any dresses -_-). I've been thinking about it alot over the past few days and I've decided that, should they offer me a bid to join, I'm going to accept. Most of my friends are looking to pledge there and the current members are all very sweet and very contrary to the Sorority Girl stereotype. You can't pinpoint exactly what they typical Chi Omega mamber is like, and I really like that about them. Well. I'm just going to go through the next few days and see where I end up.
The thing that's really taking up most of my time right now (aside from my mountains of classwork) is my exec position in Calvin + Hobbes. We had an exec meeting last night and we got alot of issues out of the way, and my job was made all the clearer. I've been having so much fun with this group. The other day we went to play wiffle ball in the gym, and despite being small, slow, and out of shape, I did quite well. After that, though, we all wanted to do something mellow, and Ken mentioned seeing my huge DVD collection when he came by to let me know about wiffle ball (it's nice to live right across the street) and so the idea of watching a movie won out (we were initially going to watch a VHS that was already at the house, but the VCR was/is still broken). So I ended up running back to Edwards House with Carrie, who was wearing PJ pants and no shoes. We could really pick on our own, so I just brought over 5 or 6 of my favorites. The final decision was Death to Smoochy which I was thrilled about. It's one of my favorite movies, so I'm always glad to share it. They loved it too, so I was super happy.
Apart from that stuff, I've just been working non-stop. It's still early in the day, but so far the only thing that's happened today is that I got the oddest compliment ever. I know it was meant to be so, but it was still odd. A girl who has been in my at least one of my classes every semester, Ruth, asked if she could borrow my Political Geography notes as she missed class yesterday. I said of course and told her that she could give them back whenever she was done. She smiled and said "Thank you so much. You know, when I was in Spanish with you I thought you were a little intimidating since you usually looked so grumpy, but you really are a very sweet person" then left for her next class.
.....I really don't know what to make of that....
I know my eyes are a bit small and she usually has class with me early in the morning, but I never thought I looked grumpy. Oh well. Lisa said that I don't, but I know Ruth meant well.
On too International Politics! And after that I'll only have two and a half more hours of class awaiting me, and then round four of rush!
......I'm not going to sleep tonight, am I?
Peace.
