Crazy world!
Classes have actually been going pretty well lately. I had 2 exams last week, and I did pretty good in both of them. Marketing and Psychology are traditionally pretty rigorous courses, but honestly I studied my ass off. Biomechanics is a struggle, but I'm getting tutorred 3 days a week and some of the principles are starting to make sense. In my major, Biomechanics (aka movement physics) is by far the hardest course that I have to take.

I've been prepping for the madness of Homecoming 2005! I'm still not sure on how many peeps are actually visiting me from home, but it's prob close to 9 or 10. I'm throwing a large party on Friday and then going uptown on Saturday. It's really hard to comprehend what it's like on campus. Imagine Mardi Gras, and cluster it into 30 different street sections. For instance, there will be 70 people at one house, 50 at the next... and then 250 right across the street. The crowds intermingle and next thing you know your making out with some random chick... LOL. There will be live bands playing outside and a lot of drunk college students stumbling around (even at 8am). You can literally go anywhere and get a beer. You don't necessarily have to know someone either.
The bars are absolutely fucking insane too. The places get soooo packed that you can hardly walk and you can feel the floor bend from the crowd. It's like 130 degrees on the dance floor, so you shake your booty for like 2 minutes (if you can move) and leave to get some fresh air. The cover charges are between 5-10 bucks, which is a big rip off... but the IUP allumni come into town and spend their dough like nuts. It's definately an event worth experiencing.
The police are in kill mode, so there are Indiana cops, Homer City cops, State cops, cops on horses, cops on bikes and even cops that randomly walk on the street... but here's the catch! They will NOT ARREST ANYONE, unless there is a warrant, or a legit reason (cause of danger, fighting, etc.) I remember being at some huge kegger, and 45 armed patrol men just stood there, watching us like hawks. Some asshole thought it would be funny to throw a 40 on the ground about 15 feet away from them and he was immediately given a breathalyzer and arrested. Another dude was taken to jail when he punched a horse in the face... NO LIE! Hahahaha! FRAT ROW smells like alcohol for 4 weeks after the Homecoming festivities are finished.
IT'S GONNA BE CRAAAAAAZY!!!
