    Luakabopp (9:32:28 PM): "hey yew dnt know how to spel galaxy rite"
    gALEXy829 (9:33:32 PM): it's usually more of the whole not realizing galaxy is spelled wrong in my screenname... so entirely missing the point.
    gALEXy829 (9:33:59 PM): i had to give my email address to my english teacher the other day, and i went on for like an hour to make sure she knew i could spell
    Luakabopp (9:34:13 PM): ahhh
    Luakabopp (9:34:22 PM): thats why i give teachers my non AOL address
    Luakabopp (9:34:31 PM): first initial, last name, DONE.
    gALEXy829 (9:36:01 PM): my gw e-mail address is my initials and my birthday. i felt really uncreative but i just told myself i'd make up for it elsewhere.
    Luakabopp (9:36:32 PM): lol, thats fine
    Luakabopp (9:36:42 PM): at least its not like SEXGODDESS6969@gwu.edu
    gALEXy829 (9:38:03 PM): hahaha... yeah they give you a warning when you're making your email address that it may be cool to have a "funny" or "cute" e-mail address now, "but would you really want to put it on a resume?" and i was like ah stop it i'll conform!!
    Luakabopp (9:39:09 PM): lolol
    Luakabopp (9:39:12 PM): IF I MUST
    Luakabopp (9:39:42 PM): how horrible is this GW community on LJ, i joined it and unjoined, everyone hates teh bloody school.
    gALEXy829 (9:39:57 PM): i know! it's so sad!
    Luakabopp (9:40:07 PM): i mean it might be good for you guys cause there is a whole like 2008 pride thing.
    gALEXy829 (9:40:19 PM): yeah, we're all so excited haha
    Luakabopp (9:40:25 PM): "This is the community for the poor souls who attend or are apart of The George Washington University. We're here to comment, compliment, protest, and complain about our community in good ol' Foggy Bottom. "
    gALEXy829 (9:40:25 PM): do you all really not like it?
    gALEXy829 (9:40:33 PM): hahahaha
    Luakabopp (9:40:53 PM): honestly....my freshman year...i didnt like it
    Luakabopp (9:40:58 PM): it was hard for me to adjust.
    Luakabopp (9:41:16 PM): DC is kind of impersonal, yknow? and i just had a bunch of trying situations
    Luakabopp (9:42:03 PM): cause i have a group of girlfriends at home and i came to DC looking to find suitable replacements while i was away...and i hung out with these girls, but we never really clicked, and it took me the entire year to realize..wait..maybe i dont need to have this kind of relationship here.
    Luakabopp (9:42:12 PM): but i lurrrved sophomore year :)
    Luakabopp signed off at 9:42:21 PM.
    Luakabopp signed on at 9:42:22 PM.
    gALEXy829 (9:43:07 PM): i understand that. i actually know about 8 people that i like who are coming to gw next year. so i already know a bunch of cool people that i trust, and i'm sure i'll meet others.
    Luakabopp (9:43:10 PM): but i know a lot of people who love freshman year, im just being honest. its a big adjustment, and plus im super emotional
    Luakabopp (9:43:19 PM): oh great!
    Luakabopp (9:43:23 PM): wow so many!
    Luakabopp (9:43:26 PM): that will really help you
    Luakabopp (9:43:42 PM): because u will all meet people and be able to come together as one big pack
    gALEXy829 (9:44:20 PM): i know right? there are 5 people from my school going
    Luakabopp (9:44:40 PM): its good you got in, the ratings of the school are going up quickly
    Luakabopp (9:44:46 PM): i think its becoming pretty difficult
    gALEXy829 (9:46:15 PM): is it really? (sorry, getting sidetracked, my mom is flipping out because she just realized she has a buddy icon and a background on her ims)
    Luakabopp (9:46:39 PM): oh nooo
    Luakabopp (9:46:41 PM): moms.
    Luakabopp (9:46:45 PM): yeah i believe it is
    gALEXy829 (9:48:23 PM): i know two people who applied and didn't get in.
    Luakabopp (9:48:38 PM): yeah
    Luakabopp (9:48:46 PM): college acceptance is TOTALLY random.
    gALEXy829 (9:49:08 PM): it really is. and it's getting harder and harder to get in everywhere.
    Luakabopp (9:50:06 PM): glad im so done.
    Luakabopp (9:50:14 PM): so tell me about your hova thurston dilemma
    Luakabopp (9:50:21 PM): or is that it
    Luakabopp (9:50:21 PM): lol
    gALEXy829 (9:51:42 PM): okay. you lived in hova right?
    Luakabopp (9:52:11 PM): yes ma'am
    gALEXy829 (9:53:03 PM): and you liked it? like if you could do it again, would you pick hova or thurston?
    Luakabopp (9:53:13 PM): HOVA
    Luakabopp (9:53:17 PM): hands down.
    Luakabopp (9:53:21 PM): my god.
    gALEXy829 (9:53:32 PM): i know thurston is like, an std party..
    Luakabopp (9:53:35 PM): and people in thurston even wish they were in hova some of them.
    Luakabopp (9:53:43 PM): you'll stay in thurston at CI...
    Luakabopp (9:53:49 PM): its just a bundle of not fun.
    Luakabopp (9:53:57 PM): i know so many people who moved from there to hova
    Luakabopp (9:54:10 PM): its like a big party, in a bad way.
    gALEXy829 (9:54:12 PM): i've actually seen it, i had a friend who lived in thurston this year and she showed me around one night
    Luakabopp (9:54:16 PM): hova was a big party in a good way
    gALEXy829 (9:54:24 PM): yeah. the rooms in hova are much nicer too?
    Luakabopp (9:54:35 PM): Yeah
    Luakabopp (9:54:44 PM): it just feels more welcoming...
    gALEXy829 (9:54:51 PM): but it's so far
    Luakabopp (9:55:02 PM): its right across fromm the watergate with a CVS, and safeway, and near the gym
    Luakabopp (9:55:11 PM): no it really isnt that far
    Luakabopp (9:55:20 PM): i never was like "ugh i hate walkinghere"
    Luakabopp (9:55:29 PM): if anything i did that this year whenever i bought groceries
    Luakabopp (9:55:46 PM): and SO much closer to the movie theater
    Luakabopp (9:55:50 PM): that too, and georgetown
    gALEXy829 (9:56:00 PM): where did you live this year, just out of curiosity?
    Luakabopp (9:56:26 PM): FSK
    Luakabopp (9:56:28 PM): loved it.
    Luakabopp (9:56:34 PM): would choose it over New Hall
    Luakabopp (9:56:42 PM): and go figure it was my last choice
    gALEXy829 (9:58:06 PM): most of the people i've met on livejournal who i've liked are picking hova, and i'm afraid i wont like the people in thurston
    Luakabopp (9:58:26 PM): are you definitely living in thurston?
    gALEXy829 (9:58:56 PM): nope, we're allowed to change our housing thing as often as we like until july something
    Luakabopp (9:59:06 PM): switch to hova if you can
    Luakabopp (9:59:16 PM): thurston reminds me of long island..
    Luakabopp (9:59:30 PM): juicy jump suits...flat ironed hair...homogeneity.
    Luakabopp (9:59:47 PM): and 6 bitchy girls living in a room together
    Luakabopp (9:59:55 PM): and no carpeting for heavens sakes!
    gALEXy829 (9:59:56 PM): i got that picture when i visited. i like unique people better.
    gALEXy829 (9:59:57 PM): haha
    gALEXy829 (9:59:59 PM): yeah
    Luakabopp (10:00:09 PM): yeah hova was awesome.
    Luakabopp (10:00:21 PM): when i applied..i was really torn.
    Luakabopp (10:00:30 PM): i was like..Thurston:Party Time! Hova: Dorks.
    Luakabopp (10:00:38 PM): and i love to party..
    Luakabopp (10:00:50 PM): and i was like..ugh i dont want to be in hova out of the loop
    Luakabopp (10:00:59 PM): and have it be quiet and boring
    Luakabopp (10:01:07 PM): but honestly...HOVA is a community
    Luakabopp (10:01:11 PM): everyone knows everyone..
    Luakabopp (10:01:22 PM): you'll know who Tom is from the 4th floor and Cindy from the 7th
    Luakabopp (10:01:36 PM): in thurston, people dont even know their neighbors
    gALEXy829 (10:01:52 PM): that's nice. and i am a dork, so i should probably live in the dork dorm.
    gALEXy829 (10:01:53 PM): lol.
    gALEXy829 (10:02:25 PM): were you able to get work done in your room in hova? or did you have to go to the library all the time anyway
    Luakabopp (10:02:40 PM): library isnt my flavor..
    Luakabopp (10:02:48 PM): but during finals it was my sanctuary
    Luakabopp (10:02:56 PM): you can definitely study easily there
    Luakabopp (10:03:00 PM): but i always studied in my room
    Luakabopp (10:03:06 PM): with my 'phones on
    gALEXy829 (10:03:17 PM): that's kind of what i want.. i think i'm too ADD to work in a library.. too many other people around.
    Luakabopp (10:03:18 PM): but there is a study lounge i sometimes used onthe mezanine
    Luakabopp (10:03:25 PM): yeah i people watch
    Luakabopp (10:03:36 PM): but there are parts of the library wher eu have your own cubicle
    Luakabopp (10:03:46 PM): and it gets you in that intense study mode
    gALEXy829 (10:04:01 PM): right..
    Luakabopp (10:04:18 PM): didnt go once freshman year...
    Luakabopp (10:04:21 PM): i dont think lol
    Luakabopp (10:05:04 PM): what CI are you going to?
    gALEXy829 (10:05:07 PM): i mean generally i think i'm a hova person, but i know that its really far from classes, and 2 of my close friends are adament about thurston..
    gALEXy829 (10:05:08 PM): #2
    Luakabopp (10:05:17 PM): dates?
    Luakabopp (10:05:23 PM): i went to 2 :)
    Luakabopp (10:05:32 PM): you really need to do what you think is best
    gALEXy829 (10:05:44 PM): aw! june 20-22
    Luakabopp (10:05:50 PM): take it from someone who has been there, thurston-ick.
    Luakabopp (10:06:00 PM): and i mean if you really want to party it up there you can walk the 10 minutes.
    Luakabopp (10:06:06 PM): but i never really had fun there..
    Luakabopp (10:06:28 PM): it honestly is like a different breed of people
    gALEXy829 (10:06:41 PM): right. i mean i know i'll meet people regardless, it's just kind of a comfort factor, having my friends in the same dorm as me. my roommate though is like me, she's not sure whether she wants hova or thurston
    Luakabopp (10:07:14 PM): you'll meet more acquaintances in thurston, more friends in hova
    Luakabopp (10:07:21 PM): i found.
    Luakabopp (10:07:36 PM): my cell phone is full of thurston acquaintances
    Luakabopp (10:07:43 PM): all my close friends are from HOVA
    Luakabopp (10:08:08 PM): my old neighbor is my best friend, he is awesome
    gALEXy829 (10:10:33 PM): so i'm thinking hova now.
    gALEXy829 (10:10:34 PM): lol
    Luakabopp (10:11:29 PM): honestly, i really am so gung-ho about that
    Luakabopp (10:11:54 PM): it was so much fun
    Luakabopp (10:12:10 PM): and for the first few weeks my floor and i went out together everywhere
    Luakabopp (10:12:18 PM): and to this day i could still call any one of them up
    gALEXy829 (10:12:25 PM): aww
    gALEXy829 (10:12:30 PM): that's so cute.
    Luakabopp (10:12:39 PM): yeah it was really nice
    Luakabopp (10:12:45 PM): for someone who was so nervous about school
    Luakabopp (10:12:51 PM): to not be alone
    gALEXy829 (10:17:14 PM): also in thurston you don't get much privacy because most of the rooms are like, quads or bigger
    gALEXy829 (10:17:23 PM): the whole one-roommate thing is nice
    Luakabopp (10:17:36 PM): no privacy
    Luakabopp (10:17:41 PM): and if you get sexiled you're fucked.
    gALEXy829 (10:18:20 PM): haha yeah, i was worried about that actually, like what if one person sexiles her 85 roommates
    Luakabopp (10:20:37 PM): yeah..
    Luakabopp (10:20:43 PM): either that or earplugs..ick.
    Luakabopp (10:20:51 PM): i was the one doing the sexiling :X
    Luakabopp (10:20:57 PM): or not even bothering to
    Luakabopp (10:21:01 PM): im an awful roomie
    Luakabopp (10:21:02 PM): lol
    gALEXy829 (10:24:43 PM): haha.. alright, well i'm gonna get going, thanks so much, this has helped so much
    Luakabopp (10:25:08 PM): noooo problem, have a good nite :)
    gALEXy829 (10:25:18 PM): thanks, you too!
