11:21 pm - Return to school...for a couple days
|
I'm going to help an initiation this weekend (Fri/Sat) at NW. that should prove interesting, probably more boring than anything but hey we'll see if it helps out with Nat'ls.
What i'm kind of ecited about though is getting to hang out back at the house Thurs and sunday. being without my pledgebrothers has been dull and boring...even more than i thought it would be. it's going to be nice seeing them and ... yeah, it'll be nice drinking with them too.
Anyhow, that's where i'll be this weekend. hopefully we'll make it back from NW by the time of commencement on Sunday. i imagine we'll all party sun night and head off into the sunset on monday.

6:04 pm - Good Times
|
I'm sensing some good times coming up this summer. using facebook i got in touch with a best friend from a town i used to live in 10 years ago. we seem to have turned into the same people which is crazy. but it looks like we both share an affinity for drinking the night away so we'll definately have to have a crazy party sometime.
Speaking of parties, i'm trying to get something in the works for my birthday, but since it falls on a monday which is a school night for my sister it doesn't look like it will be easy to get some good ol' fashion drunken debauchery. but i'm sure i can figure something out.
Job search begins again tomorrow. let's cross our fingers on that one. but i'm out for now, i'm thinkin of getting an XBox game to waste some time awaywith. who knows though. later.

1:46 pm - Home again
|
Finals were mixed. it turns that out econ (a class i was counting on an A in) beat my ass during the final and i will end up with a B. on the other hand though french (a class I was expecting a low B in) has been going better than expected and I should pull out with a low A. the rest went well sos i can't really complain.
I moved out of the House yesterday and i'm back in noblesville now. it's going to be a big adjustment for a while. it's not going to be easy going from living with 60 guys in a $5 mil house to home with my mom and sister, the former of which is excited and talkative which is in stark contrast to my wishing i was still with the guys.
The irony is that leaving here i didn't want to leave and now leaving Wabash, i can't wait to get back.
The job won't be going on this summer. but the guy flat out offered it to me for next summer. i was beat out by a grad student, so not much to say but props for me as a freshman beating out other master and grad students. it should be great experience too.
As far as jobs for this summer...i'm still looking. i might be able to pull through with some connections in the county and work for the gov't here. since the county is the richest in the state and one of the largest it would be a good experience to have under my belt.
I'm out though. probably to read myself into oblivion and start this easing in process.

Well the job is a negative. Although the guy was so impressed he flat out offered the job to me for next summer without another interview process and set up some lunch dates to get to know me. I guess i can't complain seeing as how the person who got the job over me was a grad student who he said had the same skills/experience as me, a freshman.
Finals are this week. we'll see how it goes. as it stands now I think i'll be able to bump up from a 3.775 to a 3.8 - 3.9 which is awesome. this semester is supposed to be the worst for everyone and at wabash period grades like that are an acomplishment. seeing as i can look back and say i spent more time drinking, hanging out, and being a fraternity fuck more than i did studying i consider it even more of an accomplishment.
Besides 3.7-3.9 puts me on track to making it into those grad/law schools i want to get into. it's like things are finally working out.
Back to the studies for a bit though. no reason to blow of a test this close to the end. one last umpf and im over the hill.

9:34 pm - Still Here
|
I'm still here but unfortunately school makes it so difficult to keep up to date. sometimes i question why i chose a private school that was going to kick my ass if i sat back and didn't pay any attention. than i remember it's because i want a challange...but man i kick myself for that when i'm doing a 'Group' paper on a friday night. not drunk bowling with the guys.
Lets see...schools fine...two more weeks till it's over. i'm not quite sure what i'm going to do with the summer. i'm hoping to land one of my internships (the one in indy preferably) and to thus get a car which would be welcomed change from this year.
I've been initiated into APO (the hazing was aweful haha) and I was elected Rush Chair with two of my pledgebrothers. probably one of the most important positions seeing as how it controls the incoming class ('05-06). i'm going to be Peterson chair, which will be imporatant for our chapter to show nationals we aren't a bunch of meatheads who don't give a shit about anything anymore (like the house used to be).
On the ladies seen...there's Ashley (from BSU not the other), who i see and talk to a lot. she's awesome really. smart, goal oriented, cute, fun, cool. but then there is always Her. i'm a little unsure what the summer will bring. i will either develop a relationship with Ashley, or fall back into Her arms. She has broken up with her boyfriend, and thus opened the door up to a possible resurgance in our habit relationship as i call it anymore. it's fun, don't get me wrong, but if i want to be serious about someone else i'm going to have to step up to the plate and let Her know that we aren't like that anymore.
Sounds like the same shit different day huh? well i'm out for now. i'll hopefully get more on top of this after the summer starts seeing as i'll have regained my free time from the institution which has taken over my life (aka Wabash College).

6:14 pm - Letter to Terri Schaivo
|
Blessings Terri,
I know you've travelled a long, arduous road. It's been hard. It's been terrifying. Fear not though, the end is near. Your wishes have been heard by those institutions which set our nation apart from others. Your voice is still here, even though you can no longer speak. Your desire to be allowed to pass the way you wanted has been validated time and time again, but fear not, it has been validated finally. You are now free to go where you so long ago should have.
Your parents and siblings are scared, they are hurting beyond expression. They fear they will loose you for good Terri, a fear we all will have realized some day. May they find comfort in their faith, whatever that may be. May they some day understand that to pass in this manner was your wish. May their suffering abate and may you find peace.
The end is in sight, your peace is round the next bend. Brave the path, may it not cause you undue suffering. Know that in your prolonged battle with fate, you have been a face for the world to a cause which will allow millions to avoid the same struggle you have been made to endure. Countless will now let their loved ones know their wishes, and take steps to enact and protect those wishes.
Know that through your suffering, you have releaved future suffering of so many. Your time is near, go in peace. Return to that from which we all have come and we all return.

5:40 pm - the big day
|
christmas was great. i got an ipod like i wanted and with the money i had left over from christmas i was able to get an awesome camera.
tomorrow is the big day. i have a lot of cleaning/preparing to do for the party, but i'm psyched about it. everything is coming together for a great night.
my grades turned out well, i'm Dean's List with a 3.667 in 3 of my courses. the fourth course wasn't added in b/c the prof hasn't been well enough to grade the finals. however, i will be shocked if i don't get an A in the course which will raise me ot a 3.775. that would be an awesome start, especially since law schools like columbia and georgetown like to see a 3.8.
On a serious note, i have a request for everyone out there. with the recent disaster in Southeast Asia, i as everyone who can to donate money to the relief effort. here is a link to a website that has a listing of several reputable, international organizations. I donated $20. i figure here i sit in peace with hundred dollar gadgets and the least i can do is donate money that i would probably use to go out and eat with to people who need water. i can't imagine... my thoughts and prayers are with those affected.

3:05 pm - Begining of Break
|
the 12 hour binge was great. although i probably shouldn't have taken a nalgen full of jager and coke to my french final but hey, i knew i would need the support of the jager afterwords.
kak and ness came down and we had an absolute blast. loucks, and rick represented the VC with me and wes, hart, feeback, and draik were around to hold up the seniors side. we drank and drank and drank till finally loucks and kak ended up praying to the porcelean god at 3.
Coming home felt like it did last time...more like i was leaving my home and family back at Wabash. it's boring here...not a lot to do. however, the plans for New YEars are in full swing and it's gonna be a fuckin kick ass time. I can hardly wait to get the VC down here.
I'm a little worried about my grades. i'm holding strong 4.0's in 3 courses, but my french final was a raping and i was sittin on a B+/A- so who know's where that will dive to. can't worry about it now though because thats over and and done with.
It's crazy to think a semester is over already. I'm glad pledgeship is, but i don't want this time to fly by to fast. there hasn't been a day thats gone by that i've thought to myself that i wish i was someplace else, i wish i was with other people, i wish it was all over. . . that's a pretty awesome thing i guess. not to mention i'm getting an awesome education. i'm a lucky fuck i guess...but now i'm out. who knows where or what to. but i'm out.

Planning a big part for new years. i'm pretty psyched for it. i can't wait to see osme of the people, and it will be a way to meet up with the VC and PB's . what fun what fun.
Off to study (aka: download music and IM). don't tell my parents that this is where their 32K goes.

4:34 pm - Il est fini
|
Pledgeship is over! it is a great feeling to look around and see these 24 guys who have been through so much shit with me so that we could get to the point we are at now. it's a cool thing. and i'm glad i'll never have to do it again.
I'm not a brother yet. i'll be neophyte until I week which is the week after we get back. thats fine though, cause the bs is over now.
The VC is rollin up to Maggiano's tonight to celebrate. before that i need to get some of this shit studdied for my finals.

3:21 pm - Is it or is it not
|
The week? i've got at least four different brothers who have said that this is the week that wraps this all up....but if it is going to be anything like it used to be it is not going to be this week then.
I hope it is. i'm getting sick of this. i get the point. let's move on.

3:30 pm - The Toga Party
|
Wow. What a night.
In the begining i was pretty shitty becasue my date couldn't come. so what else could i do but stand around right? wrong. oh so very wrong.
My pledge brothers are naive when it comes to alcohol and couldn't mix drinks for shit. with $1000 in booze, with a full bar, you have to have someone who can mix. so i put myself in charge and took over.
fuckin awesome. not only because i was drinking myself stupid, but because i was havin a blast doing it.
In my toga, behind the bar, with purple rope lights around me neck, black lights above the bar, cigarette in my mouth, dancing to the techno, and mixing the drinks. it was fuckin awesome.
I think if i fail finals this next week, i'll just drop out and bartend....ok so i won't, but that shit will make a great summer job.

9:49 pm - Busy
|
This week is huge. lots of planning for the dance, lots of rushing to make sure everything school wise is turned in or finished so i don't have to worry about homework with a hangover on sunday.
Outside of just being back into the swing of things, there isn't much going on. it's all about the dance this weekend. and that just can't come soon enough.

8:49 pm - Putting the past in the past
|
I sent the Her an email that summed it all up. we aren't the same as we were, we never will be again, let's enjoy the fact that we don't hate each other, and i'm here for you when you need to talk to someone.
So i've closed the door....let's just hope i lock it up and forget where the key is when i'm drunk. ha. isn't that the truth?

8:53 pm - Changes
|
I always told my high school friends that nothing would change. i was wrong. i changed.
Ness and Kak and i are still close...but hangin out with ryan was different. i think we both felt it. it was like we weren't the same people we remembered being. that sucks, cause we were tight, but livin with the guys back at the house has made me realize how close friendships can really be.
Thats one of the saving graces i guess. the fraternity. without it i'm not sure who i'd be right now. even though i've had fun not having to do anything responsible for the past week, all i really want is to go back to school and be with the guys, hang out, shoot the shit, drink. funny how this shit grabs ya by the nuts and won't let go. crazy shit man.
Thought i'd get that off my chest.

12:50 am - A Diner
|
I was talking with loucks. he was talking about how cool ness was b/c he could talk with her...like have a real conversation that wasn't about stupid shit...i guess the reason her kak and i used to go out on the boat. anyway..it hits me, thats what She is to me...not ness, but the she from the summer.
I avoided her b/c i was a pussy. b/c she wasn't like the others i'd been with. she wasn't physically like them, but by the same token, she wasn't ugly. maybe i was intimidated by being in a relationship with someon who could call me out and see through my bullshit.
Anyway, i call her. we go to diner...from the time she pulled up next to me, i couldn't stop smiling. i felt like a little kid. our dinner was great, our coversation better. we talked for hours, and it was awesome.
Do i want to do this? after all she's here in HC and i'm not. she's in high school and i'm not.
I'll ask her to the pledge dance. and we'll go from there...i'm smiling just thinkin about it...
What was ironic is the old called me up while i was talking online to the new. before the call i was laughin and happy, during the call i was back to the old bummed out, nothing to say bs. i hang up, and i'm back to the good...how telling huh.
Yeah..this is where it's gotta go.

9:15 pm - Long time
|
Pledgeship and school have me by the balls and this is the first time i've even had a chance to make an entry for what seems like forever. even now it will have to be short and sweet though.
Four years ago i fell asleep thinking my president was Gore. then, when i woke up the world had played a cruel trick, and it gave me Bush. was it all just a nightmare? am i just waiting to wake up from this hellish dream? i hope so.
Kerry can do this. he can save me from this. we just can't let Bush at it another four years people. anything but that please.
Either way, get out and vote. inform yourself, make your choice (whatever that is) and play a role in the system.
