you're blues may just wash away if you wait for a rainy day
I simply can't believe how good life has become.
I mean it has just become excellent.
And almost all of it has to do with becoming Greek.
It's just been an unbelievable week.
A mini-AWE week, one might say.
It's been one of those weeks, where you are just so exhausted, and therefore so raw, that you can't help but bond with each other in an effort to get through it and find the reward at the end.
I know now just quite how my life and love might still go on
but it's not as if there was any hazing, at all. it was getting through it, simply because it's this great interruption to your life makes you so scared of when it's going to end. and having to pass that damn test.
the best part about it is how throughout my whole initiation week, we never got more than 6 hours of sleep, most of the time 4. It's how they woke us up at 6 in the morning to do activities.
so little sleep and so much mental stress as any post AWE Athenian knows, makes for the best, rawest time to get to know other people.
and the activities they had us do were brilliant. i was so pleasantly surprised. the activities were better than I thought.
they actually were the touchy-feely, athenian-ish activities, that I love. I actually got to know them through experiences we all shared, and through the opening up we all did, rather than through reputations or humiliating experiences.
I actually got to know these people I will spend the next three years with. And I'm so excited for the memories to come.
It was one of those weeks where it seemed like it was never going to end.
Where your pounding more Red Bull than you thought possible, just to carry it on.
And then, by complete surprise, it happened.
Everything that I worked for was starting to come together.
I was getting initiated.
And during initiation I couldn't help thinking to myself:
When we're together,
when we're together,
there's no tomorrow,
there's no tomorrow,
when we're together,
there's no tomorrow.
I didn't want to be anywhere else.
I just couldn't stop smiling, knowing that this was it.
With that, and the fact that I got my papers for London and with all else that I have invested in England right now, the arctic monkeys, and the fantastic SUMMER songs coming out from some of the best new acts, I just can't help but smiling.
