Sorority @ MindSay 
I never really update this, but hardly anyone ever looks when I do - but its 3 am and I am freakishly awake and Facebook just isn’t keeping my attention!
So I'm trying to think of things I haven’t posted... I apologize if I make inferences about things I have posted and didn’t, or if I have already posted it - just bare with me!
I did get that internship with Target. After going through what seemed like hundreds of different interview rounds and climbed the endless hiring ladder, I finally got the exciting "congratulations" call. Its a 10 week program over the summer (that pays ROYALLY mind you) where I will learn the in's and out's of in-store Target and for the last 5 weeks I will choose a problem, devise a plan to fix it, and implement it. If they like me, they will send me back into the interview process for an actual job for in-store. In-store is not my dream by any means, but I think this could really leverage me into corporate. I have a friend that was just hired there and begins June - so I'm hoping he will give me a good reference when I put in my resume for corporate.
I did start another internship on campus (idiot Lauren I know). I am doing the sports marketing internship. My specific sports are volleyball and men’s/woman’s basketball - but I will be helping out with our football and our hockey team. I am having a lot of fun with it, but its taking up a LOT of my time, and seeing as how it’s unpaid I'm nervous about giving up so much time for it.
One of the biggest reasons I am afraid of giving up my time for free is because I was just elected president of my sorority Wednesday. I officially take over this coming Saturday. I know it sounds cliché, stupid and meaningless, but to me this is huge. It really means a lot to me that I was nominated, and even bigger I was elected. I’m extremely nervous however - as for the whole two or three people that normally read this blog, you know that I served as president of the choral program back in high school my senior year. To my detriment, this presidency will be nothing like it. Before, I had an actual full time employee who’s actual job it was to take care of my duties (even though she never did). This time, not only do I have to take care of 80 sorority girls, but I have alumni, potential members, bylaws/standing rules, the university, the Greek system, and nationals all breathing down my neck - all with no one to lean on. And yes - I know it’s just a stupid sorority, but it really has been my life for the last 3 years, and it's my family.
Monday I start a new job. I am working at a hotel here in town. I really hate that I have become so desperate for a 2nd summer job and for any form of money that I had to sink to the level of hotel, but when you live in a city that depends on tourism, that’s all there really is. Seeing as how 85% of the staff there goes to my college, it can’t be that horrible. And if it is, one of my sorority sisters recommended me the job so I can beat her up, and my roommate is working there now too so I can complain to her. It's in guest services, and after dealing with sorority complaints and plenty of other jobs with high profile complainers - I think I can handle it.
I’m moving in 35 days! THANK GOD. I can’t stand the house I am living in anymore. Mainly because the house is big, freezing, and we have a random obnoxious roommate that I would really like to punt off of one of the bridges. Our new place is a duplex. Its an old 6 bedroom house they converted so it has a really old-day characteristic, but they just replaced all of the flooring, windows and repainted the inside and are completely redoing the outside of the house. And the best part - HEAT IS FREE! No more 59 degrees in the dead of winter because we are too poor!!
As for the Irish guy - yes I am still seeing him... if you consider once every 2 weeks seeing each other. As you can see from above, I've been really busy and on top of all of that I had 2 weeks of midterm hell. His brother was in town for the last two weeks too, so it worked out well. I would have hated his poor brother to be pissed off because some American idiot girl wanting to take up his brothers time. You're only in America for a while! That’s another concern..... he’s only in America for a while.... he is only here until the middle of August. The more I see him - the more I want to see him. This whole two week thing has been working well for me... after seeing him, I really start to like him, but the longer I wait to see him the more I revert back to my weird dating self and re-evaluate the whole situation. Of course I would pick the guy that is only in the country for another three and a half months...
.But above food, drink, and a shower... I need life to work out.
.I'm so tired. I'm so stressed. And I'm so depressed all the time. And it's not helping that today is the day to vote for "homecoming queen," and "Colonel Reb," and miss pattywagon, and whositwutsit... I don't know what they're all called, and neither do I care. But because today is the day, I've been ambushed everywhere I go by sorority girls in matching outfits of feminine design weilding photographs of their girl of choice. "Vote Georgia!"--"Vote Mary Beth!"--"Vote Laniere!" What the crap kind of name is "Laniere" for a sorority girl? Really, I'm sure her parents planned for her to end up exactly where she is, like the rest of the girls. With that in mind, why did they give her a name like "Laniere"? I guess it stands out when running for homecoming queen, or whatever it is for which she's running. On my way to class this morning, there was a crowd of girls on either side of the sidewalk waiting for me--far too perky at that hour of the morning. I decided that I would abandon the sidewalk and go around. They were persistent and called out to me from their places. "Hey! Goodmorning, y'all! Go vote for [enter stereotypical southern name]! Thank you!" There is too much pink. Too much happiness. Too much sunshine on a cloudy day!
.I just used an exclamation point. I need to stop that. *Returning to dark and mellow* Okay. I'm good.
.It's not just the sorority girls. I can't succumb to happiness at all. I had almost no fun at the party Friday. Since then, I haven't gone to hang out with any friends. I worked with a couple, but no fun. And sitting backstage on headset (I'm assistant stage manager for A Streetcar Named Desire), all I can think about is how unhappy I am. It's really an incredible distraction from my duties.
.I know I sound emo and ridiculous, and I really don't care.
.Because you told me you'd wait for me. You'd told me you'd never do it again. And now, like before, you've stopped talking to me. All I think about is you, and it makes me sick. I would move on in a second if you'd just let me go, but you won't. You won't even tell me you don't want me. You just exist. That's all.
lmao...it was hilarous, they walked me around the hall, then made me go sliding downstairs where i was stuffed into a car...they drove around for what seemed like forever...i was taken out, and i could hear the fountain in the back ground...
i was like "shit, it's cold"...i screamed out "i can't swim, i'm on my period"... but they didn't care, they untied my hands and rolled me into the freezing fountain...lmao, i could hear people cheering and hollering in the background...at first i thought they had taken me to someone's pool or something...
when i got out of the fountain, soaked wet in cold water, and the temperature was like at high 40's...i took off my shirt and the people were going crazy, i think they got a couple of pics of me in my bra...lmao...i so thought the girls had told people to show up, but apparently they didn't know the guys...so now people have pix of me in my bra...lol...
the girls wrapped me in my jacket, the 3 extra blankets they brought and made me WALK home!!! fuck that, i was freezing, so i ran home...lindsay let me in, and the girls made me stay in the living room...samantha was like "you pulled through vanessa, congrats, you're in"...they handed me my rose...AWESOME-NESS
so yeah...after i took a long WARM/HOT shower, i got in my victoria secret sleeping shorts, which are just about as short as boy shorts, a long john shirt and my bathrobe...i got downstairs and we headed out to denny's...
as we sat and ate our free meals, we looked at some of the pix they took...man, do i look sexy...when i was running around in my bra, you could see my abs, which are very nice...well at least in the pic...i'll try to post at least one of them up...
I LOVE MY SISTERS, THEY'RE AWESOME!!!
Oh man this is funny:
Ok so I broke my toe, and I was walking I mean hobbling on campus and these two sorority girls came up and each gave me a carnation which had an orange card tied on both. They read, "Drink responsibly" It had ratios of how many people died a year with alcohol being a factor, then it had ratios of how many people get hurt while drinking, hmmm did they pass my place last night around say 10:30pm, because if they did they probably heard me yelling in pain as I hit the wall. I got a kick out of it, now I am not laughing at the people who have died or actually really got hurt, I am not a cold hearted bitch, but I think it's funny and ironic how that fit into my injury. I have decided to take it easy for awhile. i don't enjoy being "the life of the party" that just results in injuries and making an ass out of myself. I hardly ever drink but sometimes when I decide to, I do dumb things like climbing over coffee tables and dancing like a drunken ballarina, knocking over my drink, and lets not forget hurting myself. So I guess the only smart option is, take it easy girl!
I know it's been a while. I've been really busy. I'm not a candidate for Tau Beta Sigma anymore. And I went home this weekend to see my family for the first time in two months. I had a blast. Now I'm at Michael's house doing some homework and watching movies. So I'm gonna go now. I might update again later. BYE!
