(no subject)
spring formal is tomorrow... i'm glad everything finally is in place, there was some minor stress this morning involving our deposit but it was all worked out in time for my physics quiz. i just need to check in with the bus and DJ, make sure no one dies or gets stuck in chicago, and hope to god that my date won't be too awkward.
actually, i think i know who my date is. and if i'm right, it should be a pretty fun time. utterly random, but fun nonetheless.
also, the "Tarzan and Jane" crush party is shaping up too, praise allah. planning events that 130 people expect to be amazing is a little disconcerting, especially when this quarter has flown by already, but people are excited so that's validating. i just know that if one person doesn't have a good time, i'll personally feel bad... which is uncalled for on my part, but i can't help it.
in other news: i'm the DM08 advertising co-chair! it's not really what i preffed, but it'll be a great learning experience. additionally, i think it's a smart choice on tara and krysta's part, because in retrospect, i'm too overcommitted this year to run SE or A&U (that'll wait until next year). can't wait to get to know the rest of the board better, and i can't wait to choose the beneficiary.
i talked to sam monroe last night for the first time in forever; i always have the best conversations with him. we've both moved on from high school (and are praising allah that we won't be in LO this summer), but i feel like we're both in fairly similar places. it'll be interesting to see what that kid ends up doing with his life- underneath all the pot and sarcasm, he's actually very intelligent and driven. one of the few LO boys- one of the few LO friends, period- i keep in touch with anymore.
talked to my mom just now, and she still thinks my africa passion is just a phase. no, mom, in actuality i think about ghana every day and could honestly see myself living and practicing medicine there for several years. she also reminds me every 5 minutes that i need to get my grades up, which is delightful. the padre, on the other hand, tells me every 5 minutes that as long as i can tell myself i worked hard and am proud of myself, then it's all good. (but he's also a little weary of africa... oh well!)
k, off to do orgo now. i'm so over orgo lab and owen priest. 16 more days of class!
