i have a livejournal...weird
Apparently my need to write in this has diminished...maybe. Or maybe I got sick of bitching to this because I never do anything about what I bitch about...whatever.
I'm technically still on spring break, however, I use the word spring very loosely. For the first few days, I went back to Redford and was miserably ill the entire time...thanks Gordon. I was so sick I didn't even want to do anything. I even managed to get my dad, little brother, my mom, tina and shannon sick though. I came back to Muncie Wednesday after stopping by Western to make pottery w/ Linds...haha. Our picture frames are gonna be sweet though. I came back early because I had a lot of stuff to do for volleyball and Mark was supposed to be back to help me but he never showed up...can't say I'm too surprised though...just adds to my whole argument about being the bitch of the team...
Speaking of, a couple of Thursdays ago, Mark, Gordon, and I did our infamous "get drunk and try to have an intelligent conversation" thing we do every once in a while. This time, it was be telling them how much I hate being president of volleyball because I feel like I'm only there to do paperwork when really I want some say as to what happens with the team. I feel like they don't get where I'm coming from though because when both of them were president, they were also the coach. I asked Mark to be coach because I thought it would be stupid for me to try to coach people who have clearly played volleyball longer than I have and he does an alright job, except that he takes complete control of everything (aside fromt he paperwork) and I never get a say about anything involving the guys on the team, practices, or tournaments. I'm not trying to say I want to run practices or anything or that I even want Mark to check w/ me before everything he does, but when I make suggestions about something, I want to be taking seriously...and right now, I'm not. It's frustrating and I doubt anything will change because Mark isn't going to change and I'm not going to stop feeling the way I do so I guess I'll just have to deal with it for one more month. Oh well, at least we're ranked 12th in the nation right now....and no one thought we'd be good this year.....so there's that I guess.
What else....classes are fine. Took two pretty big tests before we got out for break so I'll be interested in seeing how I did on those...though I don't really have expectations of being impressed with myself. I always thought I was pretty good at managing my time...and for the most part, I'd say I am but it just sucks that I don't ever keep up with the readings for classes. Especially at this point when most of my teachers claim that the reading part of the class is just as important as the lecture...whatever happened to teachers lecturing over what we're supposed to read..what's the point of lecturing on shit that isn't going to be on the exam....bah....7 more weeks or something...not too bad. Then I'll be a senior in college. That's so weird to say. What's even weirder is that after next fall semester, I'll be done with classes and technically have enough credits to graduate. I'll just have to do my mandatory internship and then it's off to grad school. Which I'm pumped about. I can't wait to move to a big, warm city for grad city.
What else....I'll be 21 in three weeks from today...that's huge. What sucks is that I have a huge volleyball tournament that weekend. Luckily, it's at Ball State, but it's lame because I can't get wasted every night like I initially planned. We did so well at our last tournament that this tournament is so much more important for the team and it'd be unfair of me to ruin our chances of doing well because I want to get wasted every night. At least I can still go out Thursday at midnight. I'm sure I'll only need 2 hours to get so wasted I nearly die anyways.
Well, hopefully I get back on track and start updating this thing more often....no promises though...
