whatever.
this is a throwback to when i used to write super long posts. :)
i've been going to sleep between 3 and 4 every single morning this week. ugh. i've been so busy. but i love it. but i'm so ready for fall break. i just want to sleep and sleep and eat and sleep and sleep and get caught up on homework. i'm so ready to go home this wednesday evening! too bad there's a LOT to do before then!
we've had lip sync practice every night. every sorority's new pledge class does it, and apparently it's a big deal. ugh. i am getting better though haha. and i'm getting to know my pledge sisters sooooo much better. but it eats up the time like nobody's business. it's largely responsible for all my late nights.
i had a test in french today and a quiz in anthropology. i think i did good on the french test, and i made a 100 on the anthro quiz!!!!! !!!!!!!!
sorry this is so dang scatter-brained.
i have an essay due in anthropology monday. it's worth 15% of our grade, but i have really worked hard on it. i'm pretty much done, i just need to develop the last few paragraphs a little more. i'm actually quite proud of myself for doing it already. we had to write 1000-1500 words on something in our lives that we could analyze for gender, privilege, race/ethnicity, and class differences. once i thought of a topic, it actually flowed extremely easily.
i've been trying to think of a major. i actually considered english. haha, how weird right? i think i'm pretty much almost definitely going to minor in english though. i could finish that fairly quickly because i just need 15 hours in the 300-400 level courses for an english minor. i took 221 and 222 through dual enrollement, so i think i'm already cleared to start on the 300s. but i'll probably take at least one more of the 200s just because there are a few good-looking ones. who'd've thought i would want to get a freaking degree in english? haha. i love it though. i just realized a couple weeks ago that i love it. but i think i'm going to end up going for the standard pre-med major of bcmb [biochemistry and molecular biology], if i can cut it. and then minor in english. but i'm meeting with an advisor for spring semester registration the morning of when i'll leave for fall break. so i'll talk to him about it.
college makes me like rap music. i've discovered that i honestly can listen to anything. i don't really prefer country, but yeah.
on a more serious note, i've been having some hard weeks lately. spiritually, mentally, even somewhat physically because of lack of sleep and how my throat and the back of my mouth have felt really scratched up. it was really painful the other night, and it still sometimes kind of feels like i have a piece of glass stuck at the very top. and all this busy-ness is ridiculous. i love it, but it's ridiculous. and the other night i got really really freaked out because i looked at my grades [you can sign up for this thing where your professors post your current grade and comments before midterms. frats and sororites require it.] and all that were up were anthropology and french. anthro was obviously a C [see bottom part of this post] because we only have one grade in there. and french i had a B+ and i just really hope that i can pull it up. and i was freaking out to andy about getting in med school. but he is wonderful and calmed me down quite a bit. ugh.
i went home last weekend and our youth group did a skit to lifehouse's song "everything." it's quite amazing; it made me cry because that's totally my current life. check the video out on youtube- there are tons up on there.
my french midterm in due by wednesday. so basically, by before fall break. um, it's oral. like as in, we just go in the language lab and record ourselves speaking. um yeah. i'm really nervous. i suck at talking in french. i can write things okay, and can recognize words pretty good, but speaking? um no. hopefully i'll do well.
i wish my good camera wasn't broken. i've seen so many things here that i would love to capture, but i can't do it without my lovely, manual fousing beauty.
we play UGA tomorrow. hopefully we'll play well.... the sigma kappas are sitting together and i'm sad because i think we're expected to dress up and whatnot. like, in dresses. the only thing i have is the white dress i bought for pledging, so i guess i'll have to wear it. but we're hosting a tailgate for the UGA sigma kappas so it'll probably be really fun.
our pledge mom is doing big/little sisters right now. i think she might be finished, but i'm not sure. i have no idea who mine will be. i'm sure it'll work out though and i'm pretty psyched about it. unfortunately we don't find out until like the 16th or 18th or something. but i'm also really ready to get tons of presents. most of the sororities have already done their big/little sis things, and i get so jealous seeing girls walking back from panhellenic with laundry baskets full of presents.
i feel like i have more to say, but i probably don't. i mean, i've said quite a bit already.
i'm having the time of my life here, and i really mean that. it's weird though. i already feel like it's going by so fast in a weird way. i guess just because i don't have time to sit there and enjoy anything for the most part.
i like walking to class and feeling alone yet part of something so big all at the same time. [by alone, i don't mean alone-alone, like with the bad connotations. i just mean it normally.]
i'm starting to love hippie guys. just seeing them on campus makes me smile. and if they don't have shoes on, it makes me laugh in a kind-hearted way.
i'm considering dropping out of college and becoming a hobo. there are train tracks like 200 or so yards from my dorm so i'd barely have to even move. lol just kidding. but really, this crap is hard.
i haven't updated in awhile. so the pirate mixer was hilarious. it still makes me laugh when i think about it.
i love my bcm family group so freaking much. like, that hour is probably what i look forward to most during the week. literally.
i made a freaking 74 on that anthro test a couple weeks ago. it's really upsetting because it's about 20% of our grade. i'm hoping this essay will be an A and i can bring my grade up.
i made a 75 on that math test. boo! but i went to this make-up session she held at 7am one day [yeah, it was still dark when i left my building]. i was able to make up 4.5 points, so now i have a 79.5. ugh. hopefully i can do better on the next one.
so this boy that i was stalking, yeah. haha. not really but yeah. it's actually a funny story...
