I will survive... I have survived
I made it through a hell week! 5 tests in one week... I hope that never happens again in my college career (except during finals... but you don't have to go to class then!). but I survived. just barely... I was ridiculously stressed, especially in the beginning of the week. with housing issues, rush, and everything piling on me, it seemed impossible to be cheerful. but as the week wore on & I had less tests to worry about, things got much better. I realized, for one, that Caity was not actually mad at me, merely bored. it made me sad that I couldn't be around for happy fun times. however, I did remember why I signed up for so much crap when Thursday came around... then I wouldn't have to think about issues that I don't want bothering me.
but besides all of that, there are many things to write about! my dad called housing, and it turns out that I have a really good chance of actually getting a housing spot, which means I get to stay in Myers with Caity!!! :D it's funny b/c I had resigned myself to living in an apartment, probably with Steven... and that would've been one of the more hilarious (and odd) experiences in my life.
also, rush is going really well! we've gotten a lot of people, most of them from Myers! I'm tremendously excited... so I hope they really are a good crowd (it's hard to say as of yet... it's also hard to say who will actually want to go through initiation). I have good feelings, though. I wish I could be a big this semester, but I think that it'll be too much. *sigh*
speaking of too much, percussion ensemble is going to both rock my socks and kick my ass. people are going to HAVE to come to this concert... it's going to be awesome.
btw, the tests went alright. it's hard to do exceptionally well when there are so many at once, but I think I did decently on all of them.
but the coolest thing of all...
I went to the orientation for my study abroad program last night, and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!! Dr. Benedek simply IS the coolest person on earth, and the program... oh man... I could just go on & on about it. I can't wait. this summer is going to be awesome, especially if I could also get an RA job at WMCA (a William & Mary summer program that I went to several years ago) and teach drumlines. for those who don't know, my program is based in Budapest, but we will be doing a brief tour of Western Europe, and we will also take trips to Transylvania & Slovakia. I get to study gypsies!!!!!! and I also have to choose an internship... I really don't know what I want to do. Benedek wants us to dream big and do whatever strikes our fancy, but I really don't know..... hmm...
aaaaand... I hope that we do rent Reefer Madness the musical & watch it tonight. that'd be so funny.
