(no subject)
my life has descended into craziness. and just out of avoidance i'm going to update.
last week was by far the craziest week of my entire existance on this earth. It was first week of precepts, and second week of classes, which basically means an obscene amount of reading, that needs to be done very well because you are making key first impressions with the people that will be grading your papers. however, this wasn't the major issue, the major issue was a cappella which was eating my soul. i had auditions. and prep for auditions. and quartet rehearsals. and callbacks. that meant anywhere between 3 and 8 hours of a cappella devoted time. i was with my group from 8pm on thursday night to 6 am friday morning.
and then, after all the madness, we ended up loosing the one girl we bid to another a cappella group. awkward! so basically, all the shit was for nothing. then this group from brandeis, the voicemales, came and we were hosting them. which is the most awkward situation in the entire world. tesla and miriam and i decided that it would be less awkward if we were stoned the entire time. which is what happened. which was fun, but i woke up monday and realized i had 1200 pages of reading to do this week. I'm not joking. It's a REALLY sad story, and I have been reading basically since monday. i have precept tommorow with gary bass, who i worship as a god, and i'm so afraid. he TEACHES politics 380, he's not a TA. i am extremely lucky to have him for my preceptor but at the same time now i really can't slack off. because i feel like he'd eat me alive. not to mention i'm the only freshman in the precept. so. i will leave you with some pictures, which i FINALLY, got off my digital camera because i finally just bought an extra cord.
this is us singing at arch sings. the whiteness is death personified. i have never been that cold.
here you can see the people that have been initiated. notice the t-shirts and flip flops. it's like 20 degrees.
here is my crazy hair that seemed like a great idea at the time. and that time was high.
here are my adorable grandparents.
and here are sock monkeys.
ok fuck, i'm going to go read MORE so much MORE
