Second home game yesterday! It was versus UNT, who we were pretty sure we were going to beat....just not necessarily by that much. 77-20 is pretty ridiculous, and we didn't go any higher because that would've been mean. Which is also kind of sad, but...eh.

The UNT marching band was amazing. We knew that they were a huge band (300 people!), and that ( Read more... )

While all of the pre-meds were panicking over their first Orgo test, I laughed my way through my first test - a take-home in German. We were given 90 minutes -  I finished in 50. THANK GOD FOR EASY CLASSES ( Read more... )

Right, so yesterday was the Rice vs. SMU game. The MOB was, of course, required to be there. So I decorated my hat (with a large dinosaur, to match the tie) and we had the ceremonial walk to the field. In true mobster fashion, this of course required that the SAs have (prop) guns to protect the band director and drum minor, as well as block the ( Read more... )

Well, it's Wednesday, so I guess it's about time that I post an update on classes and stuff ( Read more... )

Half Price Books is amazing. I found one of my textbooks for a third of the (used) price the university bookstore is asking, and a fourth of the new ( Read more... )

O-Week continues to be interesting. Yesterday was the rally, so the pre-rally happenings occurred. These involved learning all of the residential college cheers and anti-cheers, then going to each one to basically have idcheering/shouting matches. Wiess, infamous for its Ubangee, was trying to get one of our O-Week advisors (who is from Wiess, but ( Read more... )

One week until my job ends. Which means a little more than two weeks until O-Week. *bites nails*

I've been feeling a bit nervous about what to bring, but I finally got in touch with the rest of my suitemates (....still nothing from my roommate. Argh! Oh well, at least if I forget something, home isn't far at all) and Annie, and she said that a ( Read more... )

I know some of you people who read this are going to be applying for college come fall semester. Somebody on facebook asked for general advice regarding applications, so I figured I'd cut and paste that stuff in here so that other people can get all the college advice I'm good for.

First, a disclaimer: I didn't apply for colleges the way that one ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break here from writing my Comp Sci dossier (I've got most of the code needed to run it written down and theoretically compiled; I'm just filling in the gargantuanlly huge arrays right now) to reflect on how nerdy it is to write a program based on Lord of the Rings. Not even the main content - I'm strictly shuffling through Appendix B ( Read more... )

More college acceptance letters got sent out last night (this time from most of the schools that use the Common Application), so I've spent today trying to console people but also being happy because now I'm getting an idea of who I'll be going to college with. That sentence ended in a preposition, but I don't know how to write it properly, so it ( Read more... )
