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!
