funso glad it's friday! it has been a pretty busy week, but i think i'm getting back into the swing of things. i'm finally actually reading for classes (believe me, that hasn't happened for a very long time).
i had an awesome catch-up talk with dave- someone i worked with my freshman year in the dining hall. he is now managing the new deli/burrito place in our dorm's common building. it's pretty awesome, i recommend any student in cu-boulder to come check out the 2-1-3 out at will vill. dave is one of the most approachable and interesting people i have ever met. he's also an mcdb major, but he's in no hurry. he's just working, studying, and living life. i always like talking to him.
then i hung out with tony on the hill and, it being friday night, the bus was full of drunk/high people, or people ready to be drunk/high. now, as you all know, if you're been reading my blog, i have decided not to be a hardcore drinker. yes, i've tried drinking/partying, because i don't like it when i haven't tried something and think badly of it, unless it's something that's a lot more dangerous than alcohol. to tell you the truth though, i do like the social scene- i like hanging out with all my friends and, sometimes, not having to think about anything complicated at all, and meeting lots of people. and i even like a crowded house full of fun-loving, somewhat intoxicated people. i do not, however, like it when people drink themselves sick and drink way beyond their limit. repeatedly.
so i was on the bus with tony tonight, and this guy sitting next to me on the ride back home was completely not in control. he was swaying like crazy and i swear, i thought he was going to throw up all over himself and me. i was ready to jump out of the seat and bolt if i saw any indication of vomiting :P
anyways, i'm not here to preach. well sorta. i'm saying when you go out and drink, go ahead. i'm all for it, but don't drink beyond what your body can take. i've drank way beyond my limit a few times in the past and i was scared for myself each and every time. i can't handle being scared like that anymore. yes, i want to have fun and live life, but i also want to be alive. anyone who's been paying attention to the news will know that cu has that reputation for being a major party school. honestly, i don't think we can stop underage drinking here and any money promoted to that cause will probably be wasted. but i would like students, especially freshmen, to starting drinking smarter, to have a set limit (not just "ok, i'm gonna take it easy tonight"), to bring someone who will look after you (whether or not you have to drive home), and to still have fun.
eh. my rant is over and i'm tired.
oh wait- if you like cookies, good cookies, check out boulder baked- they make the best cookies i have ever had (besides maybe mrs. fields). mmmmmm... yummy!!
