Wow...life
...happens. A lot is going on right now, and it's giving me a lot of vigor. I've gotten less sleep than usual (circa 6 hours last night), but I'm high on life :) My WILG duties hit a lull after the Hockfield dinner, but they've picked up again. I am going to run the room lottery this week, so I had to get the order all set. I had to rank people in groups of priority and pick them randomly from those groups. I wound up giving crummy spots to cool people, which made me sad :( But chance is chance. I happened to pull myself first from my pool...of two people...I don't think anyone will finger me for foul play :) We also have an issue with a girl who took time off but is looking to move back into the house next year. People hate her bird and don't want it back. She won't live here without her bird. I really like this girl and see her as a great asset to the house. I will be so upset if we have to tell her she can't come back with the bird. The meeting about this is tomorrow (fingers crossed). I guess when people strongly want different things, someone is bound to be pretty unhappy. There is a particular girl at WILG who seems to disagree with everything I believe. I personally try to live such that my interactions with other people add something positive to their lives. People who are averse to this policy piss me off. Build people up, don't drag them down!
Believe it or not, I'm happy that it's CPW. I went to the activity fair in Johnson after my micro exam and had a blast. This pre-frosh guy kept following me; it was cute...and then annoying. Pre-frosh boys have been making me feel very attractive. Woah...college girl I don't mean that in a conceited way, but in an amused way. Once they come here, I'm going to be just another coed. Despite my influence, I was able to get none of them to come to the Sigma Nu party. I've seen so many people I hadn't seen in forever because of all the CPW events. I feel so popular :)
OK, the obligatory Jeremy update. This weekend is really hard on him. He feels the need to take on a lot of responsibility for events, so he was pretty frazzled at the party. It took a while for people to show up, so he reverted to going to Northeastern with some brothers to recruit people. After a while, people making the party circuit showed up, and it was great! So he calmed down. I was surprised at the number of people who actually jello-wrestled. Jello in my hair? EWWIE! I slept over there as I didn't want Jeremy to be seen leaving my room by pre-frosh (he had no pre-frosh in his). Ashley Tran and I went to a BBQ they had this evening, which was so tasty. Eating meat with your fingers right off the grill: premium. I also got to hang out with another girlfriend of the house, Minna. She's a ballet major at the Boston Conservatory. She rocks. But when I arrived at Sigma Nu, I was like, uh oh, this was a bad idea. Jeremy was really morose. I told him that Antone invited to me help with ZBT rush in the fall (yey, I'm so flattered!), and he got really upset. I was just really excited about it, but he thought I was throwing it in his face that he didn't invite me to be a SN rush girl. We went to Battle of the Bands right from the bbq, and he still wasn't talking much. I told him I that didn't know how to talk to him and that he was making me want to cry. He said that he is still feeling down. Apparently he appreciates my presence at those times but has a hard time making conversation. He explained that he also really, really hates Antone because he thinks Antone likes me and dislikes that I don't believe this "fact." He never wants me to talk to him about Antone again. Yea, I think that's ridiculous, but it's also kind of nice to see him so jealous over nothing. He was really affectionate the rest of the evening, which I think was his way of saying "I'm sorry you have to put up with me." As we watched the bands, a fleeting thought of "how long am I going to be able to take these rollercoasters?" went through my head. He has to make a decision about grad schools very soon, so we'll see... He drives me nuts sometimes, but I still love feeling like I'm helping him hold up.
Shout out to nice weather! Both times I went to SN this weekend, I walked. A 1.5 mile walk isn't bad, but it's definitely not something I would do when it's less than 40 out! And the trees are budding around the river...ahh.
