(no subject)
I have been meaning to put something down in here for a couple of days now. Things keep coming up and I keep putting aside my computer in lew of them.
Thursday ended well. Life was good.
I had my dinner and ate with some people from one of my classes. We didn't do a whole lot. Just ate and talked.
I got back to my room and did my ritual studying. The Packers were playing Tennessee and I went down to Pris's room and watched a bit of the game with her and some other folks then came back upstairs and went to sleep.
Friday was... well it was.
I had an excellent World Politics class and was excruciatingly insightful.
Epics went as it has been. We discussed and beat a dead horse into the ground.
Josh tried to make a case for the sceptor in book one being a phalic symbol. The guy was drowning, so I jumped in and made his case for him. Not that I agreed with it, but Cottey taught me the skill of finding symbols all around. So I put it to good use!
My history class went right along about the same as always. Oddly, I didn't want to kick anyone. However, there is a guy who almost runs me over every MWF as I cross the street to and from class. Him, I want to kick.
Saturday was just plain great.
We had our first footy game of the season. We kicked 20-18 and it was an alla round awsome game. I went with Lindsay and JIK but she left us at the end of the 1st quarter. So we stayed for the rest of the game, and basically, it kicked ass. I had sooooo much fun I could hardly stand it.
When we got back, I watched OCEAN'S 11 and then went to dinner. I ate with Kendal and some of her friends. I met a couple of new people and had some good conversation.
Lindsay, Pricilla, Allie and I went to the quads for the rest of the night at around 8. Allie ended up meeting us there around 9, so I was with Lind and Cilla for a good hour. I had a few beers (which they were impressed with) and met, once again, some more new people. We went over to Alex's room and I got to play DJ as they played beer-pong. Alex has a very impressive collection of music, if I do say so myself. A good round mix of just about anythign you can think of. I ended up playing a round of pong with Cilla and we lost, although not without a fight.
After that, we migrated back to one of the other halls where I played a couple of rounds of 'F the Dealer.' I think I won, since I had to drink the least. And then I came back to my room.
It made me sad, on one level, that I kept wishing my Cottey drinking buddies were with me.
Talked to Michael for about 2 minutes when he said that he had to go to Maria's for a bit. Shame because that is probably the only time I will ever talk to any of them while plastered.
So, today has been another day of randomness. I at lunch for almost two hours with Tim and some of his friends. I feel perfectly fine and except for a mysterious cut on my finger, am unfazed from my activities and daliences with alcohol.
Tim's friends were all very nice. Tim is very nice. We have a PoGo class together and I have enjoyed getting to know him this last week.
It is odd- on some level, it feels like I have only been here a couple of days. But other times, I feel as though I have been here for ages. Time speeds up and slows down at will and in a way, I suppose that is a good thing. I am starting to enjoy meeting new people and getting to know my new surroundings.
And now, I'm goign to head off. Matt is coming to visit tomorrow and I need to do some reading so that I can spend the afternoon with him and his buddies.
Plus, I just got a copy of the greatest hits of Journey!
don't stop... believing...
