~~ME!!!~~
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.
^^ That phrase didn't mean much to me freshman year of High School when I had to read Julius Caesar, but it sure does now. 3 years? How did that happen?
We miss you, Ace. I hope heaven is amazing. You deserve nothing short of it.
Highlights:
- NY Cares Day. Met up with a bunch of people at 830 in the morning on Saturday and we traveled to a public school in Brooklyn where we pained a giant black fence, re-did the lines/numbers on the playground, played a SICK game of Red Rover/Blob Tag, and then painted a very long fence completely yellow. I thought that was foolish, but they asked us to, and we did. Pretty fantastic. Met some really great, fun people: Lara, PANTHER (you can call him Patrick), Ramie, Nina...
- When we were signing IN to NYCD, I was talking to James, our IRHC rep/Community Service dude, and we were discussing how my residence hall really needs judges for the IRHC Talent Show. So he said, "I'm probably available" and I quipped, "Cool. Well, if you cant' come, why don't you send the kid I don't like?". To give back story, there's this boy named Brian who is the VP of IRHC (inter-residence hall council) at NYU. At the first meeting, when there was confusion about my role, Brian came over and was like 'no, you're wrong. you need to show up every time and do this, this, and this, or you're going to be in bad-standing'. Not even, 'Hi, I'm Brian, and no you're wrong bah bah bah'. Just the mean bitchy part. So I'm not a fan of Brian.
Anywhoo, James goes, "Who don't you like?" and I said "the VP".
And James says, "Oh, you mean MY BROTHER?"
Not just brother. His (fraternal) twin brother, apparently. Good times. Oh well. It's not even the worst faux pas I've ever done. But it WAS a nice source of entertainment. (I'm thinking at this moment of, "my mom's name is ellen!" even though that's not terrrrible).
- Saturday night, I decided to go to Felix's birthday party at Boss Tweed's. I figured he was friends with my old roommates, and he was also friends w/ my freshman year floormates, so I had a chance to not only see Felix, but to also see other amazing people.
I ended up getting to see J.D., Eric (Ellen's ex-boyfriend, but sadly, not Ellen b/c it was Derrick's party somewhere), some of their HS friends who were HILARIOUS, and then from the freshman year crowd, Darren, Steve, Joe, Suzi, and Betty...who is going to ANTARCTICA FOR A YEAR. wowowowowwow.
- The guys I didn't really know were playing beer pong for a while, and then suddenly EVERYONE I was with was like, freaking out, or whispering excitedly to one another. So my first thought is 'hot chick', and then when Steve was grabbing Darren's arm and making him lean in close, I thought 'hot Asian chick'. No. I wouldn't know him from a whole in the wall, but
The Kid from The Sopranos
apparently was what all the fuss was about. And it got to be an even bigger deal when he decided he wanted to play beer pong with a girl. I think he inadvertently made these ex-Stuy guys' lives. Especially when they beat him in 'overtime'. What is that?
- Sunday, the grad students had a picnic in Central Park. We didn't go too deeply in as planned, but still fun. I was on the sack-race team that won (Damian and Tati!! WOo!), and we played a fake version of Steal the Bacon, played some BIG BOOTY, and this fun game where we all had to do a move and then add one of our own. I think there were EASILY 30 moves before we got down to only one kid left (hey, his name was Felix, too! But not my Felix).
I can't really complain. Well, I can complain about this paper I'm NOT writing right now, but I can't complain about my weekend. Coming up this weekend is BON JOVI in concert, a sleep over with Erica, MAYBE going to Julie and Jonathan's Halloween party, and then going to LI to see Lisa and then TO AMY'S house for a party. Oh wow. I'm excited to see Amy. I have to miss both Roaine and Val's parties, but I haven't seen Amy in...more than a year?
oh and the other thing here. every year we buy at least two shirts. sometimes they make you buy the sweatshirt and this year they did that too. we only got this one shirt today though. it has got to be the ugliest fucking thing i've ever seen.
i liked the other ones better. in past years they've been maroon with just Elko at the top and then a Native guy running and below that there was CC with an arrow through it. then of course there's the really great quotes on the back. this year's quote is like, Champions are made when nobody's watching.
yeah i know. >.>
we should get our other shirt and sweatshirt at the meet or tomorrow morning before we leave.
but to the real point here. wish me luck? anyone?
