College @ MindSay

I should just entitle this blog "My Annual Update" and be done with it, since I only add an entry once a year, it seems.

 

Well, here goes my list of things that have happened this past year:

- I completed my freshman year at the University of Georgia.

- I changed my major and then added a major; am now a Classics/ Elementary Education double major.

- I spent a semester in Air Force ROTC, merely on a whim, which involved:

6am PT workouts

uniforms

flag duty

paintball

marching in formation

inspection

gaining a tendency to add "Huah" randomly into conversation

flying a plane (no really... and it was frikkin awesome!)

- I spent a semester in Redcoats (UGA's Marching Band), which involved:

 lots of wasted time (since I was in pit)

a uniform that was like an all-access-pass in the football stadium

airtime on national television

trips to Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Louisiana

performing in front of 92,000+ fans

using my improv skills to make up music for halftime when we were never given music for a song

learning how to live on zero sleep

-I become a part of PDTK (the UGA Drumline "fraternity"), which included lots of bonding experiences which are too numerous and innappropriate to write out. =oP

- I lived with my best friend and sis in a dorm [read: cell], which just proves how great of friends we are because we were able to deal with each other in such a small space.

- I started bellydancing classes with Sis and we both became pretty good and have decided to continue learning this ancient art next semester.

- I got a new horse named Luke, who is a 3yr old brown quarterhorse with a black mane and tail.

- My dad got a new job that lets him spend more time with us, we bought new land (25 acres), built a house on it, are almost moved out of our old house (we finish tomorrow), and are excited about living in such a calming and nature-y (I mean, we have our own forest! hehe) place that we can call our own.

- I still dont have a boyfriend. Damn it. *sighs* But not without trying to remedy it...  I got some new experiences with rejection this year.

- I crashed my car over spring break; no one was hurt, but my car needs a new front end. Oops.

- I gained a new obsession (the Twilight series, by Stephanie Meyer) and became a new fan of a sport (Ice Dawg hockey!).

- I went to every UGA football game (except Vanderbuilt) for a year, including the 2008 Sugar Bowl, where I met some amazing people (Aloha to my Hawaiian drumline ppls!), got to party at Bourbon Street on New Years, and watched Georgia's defensive line pound Hawaii's quarterback into submission. Go Dawgs!

 

So there's an overview of my life for the past year... other experiences include having an awesome RA (a Croatian gangsta') who threw rave dance parties with German techno in his room for me and Kayla, dominating at the Auburn v Georgia BLACKOUT game, and roleplaying in a Roman Culture reaction game in which I (as Cicero) entirely rewrote history.

 

Hmmm... that's been my life. More news next year, yeah? Heh.

 

Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers have all entered their names into the NBA draft. Rush has signed with an agent which makes him eneligible to return to school. Arthur and Chalmers have have not yet signed with agents.

Well my first exam of the year is now three hours away.

 

Wish I was in there doing it now because I'm all ready to go now.

with like everything in my life right now. and i'm really short tempered and i feel the inclinition to ignore certain things because i'm worried that i might snap and make a mistake or say something that i don't mean because i'm very stressed out right now. there are so many things going on in my head, i don't even know where to begin in terms of writing about them. i'm stressed out because of school, i'm stressed out trying to find new room mates, i'm stressed out over this stupid situation with albert, the fact that i don't really have any one to hang out with other than reanna n she makes me feel like shit, i'm stressed that i haven't lost the weight i was supposed to lose by May, and i'm stressed cuz stuart needs to take a fucking chill pill. no, i haven't read ur replies yet cuz i'm pissed off about enough things in life right now that i don't need to lose my temper over something that's not a big fucking deal. I've told u, when u call, its bad fucking timing. i'm SORRY that i take my studies seriously, i'm SORRY that i want to graduate in four years so i decided to take four classes this semester, i'm SORRY that i want to get into grad school so i'm doing work in a professor's lab. i'm SORRY that i don't have time for you! but guess what? anna n jeanie can tell u that i don't have time for them, either. the last time i talked to anna on the phone was last week cuz i had 20 mins to kill before my next class, n the last time i talked her and jeanie before that was a couple weeks ago. i don't even have time to call emo jimmy n the one time that i did he didn't answer. if u can't fucking wait until school is over to talk to me n u can't be fucking understanding of the fact that i have a lot of shit going on, then fuck off. i'm fucking sorry. i've got three more damn weeks n if it weren't for the fact that i'm already stressed out n pissed off about 12 other things, this wouldn't even be that big of a deal. the only reason i'm still updating on here is because i need some place where i can vent my fucking feelings BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE I NORMALLY WOULD GET THIS SHIT OUT TO!!

 

oh, let's not forget my fucking financial issues...mike STILL won't pay me the bill money he owes me, we finally got how much gas $ we owe for ppl for WPA, but the rooms still aren't figured out n the reimbersments aren't figured out yet, either. I HAVE A FUCKING BUDGET! i'm sorry my parents don't just fucking hand me money n i have to work for shit n bust my ass to save up money so i don't starve or end up on the street cuz i can't afford my rent!

 

i hate everything right now.

I have to pack up all my stuff to bring home on Saturday. It's time to decide what gets packed and what gets thrown away/donated. I acquired a microwave sometime during the year, that's going to be given away to some lucky douchebag.

They were giving away free bagels yesterday in the lobby. I grabbed two, and later came down and took a whole bag. I woke up today and was bored. Ended up driving to a shitty pawn shop and looked at guitars. There was a nice acoustic-electric there for $80. Maybe I'll pick it up before I come home.

I should be studying. I'm going to go read some Jack Kerouac instead.
