For those of y'all that have missed me...

...silly geese. You knew I'd be back. As with any time I'm gone long, and since I love to type and talk, this post is long, so you'd better set aside some major time. And just for your convenience and viewing pleasure, I'll not post for a week so if you're pressed for time you can just read a couple paragraphs at a time. :) Aren't I so sweet?

Well, it's about that time for school again (although not for the Transy (Transylvania University) students... lucky bastards :D ). I don't have my books yet, and I'm not all antsy about school. Although, it is only Wednesday. I have plenty of time to start freaking out. And, oh yea, getting ready for it. I'm going back today, and I'm going to have to buy books, go to the registrars office (may as well get it out of the way now), try to find my Latin prof, make sure we have the internet at Phase 2, and help freshmen move in. oh, and then try to have fun over the weekend without spending too much money AND not having my check card (or driver's license, they're attached at the proverbial hip). They're lost in the house somewhere, I'm sure I'll find them later.

Before school, I may as well give a life update and catch up the people who are out of the loop or that I just haven't been able to talk to lately.

First of all, and the thing that hurts me the most, is that I'm not working for REACH in the fall (or the spring, since I'll be on co-op). Trust me, it wasn't voluntary. I got fired because my GPA is 2.785 (or something like that), and the GPA cut-off for working for reach is 3.0 (which I didn't know until 2 weeks ago). So, now I don't have a job. But you'd think I could get once since I came home to get my car and all...

No car. Why? Well, Robert finally looked at my car about 2 and a half weeks ago and realized that the engine is metric and he only has standard tools. Duh, my car's not American made! Did you think it would be standard? Anyway, he's sending it off to some other guy who DOES have metric tools. But as we've already seen how slow Robert is, I doubt I'll be getting my car in the near future. Doesn't that just put a damper on life? Well, hopefully I'll get my car back soon, cause I'm NOT working for anyone else at the university... Housing and Resident's life's got jobs that I'd like (well, not the job, but the meeting-of-people part), but I'm not working my butt off for minimum wage for those pokey bastards any more!

I guess the 'rents get to go all out and pay for everything this year (oh yea, FYI, my scholarships are now at 37.5% of the original amount--half of 75% for those of y'all keeping up--because AFTER the appeals committee met for the first time in June, NOT at the beginning or even the middle of the semester in the Spring, they told us that anyone that appealed their scholarship and got it would get half of the amount they previously got). I'm just rolling in my no-dough. Guess I'll be coming home more often so my parents can buy me groceries. And no more going out to eat, EVER. Ahh, that just means more time for studying.

And speaking of classes, I'm really hesitant about this Latin class. I know I'm a quick learner and all, but I'm skipping an entire semester. But hey, I did it with Spanish. I just borrowed the book of the class I skipped and read it the first week of class and *boom* I was caught up. But contemporary languages and classical languages differ in that way; it will be a little harder to do with a classical language. But I'll test out the waters and see if I'm okay. If worse comes to worse, I can always drop the class and have more free time and save some of my parents money. I'm excited about the class though because I usually do well under pressure anyway... plus a cute boy made me do it! His name is TJ; he's a guy I tutored in calculus over the summer, and I think he's really cool. And he's a Math and Physics major, and he wants to minor in classical languages (hence taking Latin with me and Greek with my friend and ex-co-worker Sandy). I'd like to hook up with him--since everyone is all up on the hookuppage--but we'll see about that. It probably won't happen (hey, I'm being realistic here), but if it does then yay for me!

And on a completely unrelated note, let's talk about our friends. I miss Jen and Josh and Bryce and Mike. Although I did have fun hanging out with Bridget, Wes, and Ed while I was home. I really think the way I think about frienship is changing. Wait, scratch that, I think the way I emulate friendship is changing. It seems like when I'm in Louisville, I tend to isolate more with friends... like I hang out with one person at a time and that's fine with me. And I try to hang out with people evenly (although it doesn't really happen like that). And people call or show up however they please, and I can chose to entertain them or let them entertain themselves--I'm usually in a good mood, but every once in a while, I'm just plain mean. :D When I'm at home, though, it just feels like I'm doing the same thing every time. Maybe it's because I have less friends that are regularly home, or because I'm home for such a short time. This weekend was weird because I wanted to spend time with Wes earlier in the weeks I was home (since he is going to the University of Richmond in Virginia and I won't see him for a long time) , and Bridget and Ed later in the weeks (since Ed works a lot and Bridget is having surgery soon), but I kinda got called out on that. *shrug* Sometimes you have to look at actions, and sometimes you have to look at intentions. This was one of those intention times. But, everything remidied itself (as usual) so everything is okay now (I hope).

I just hope I can get back into the heavy-thinking flow before school starts. [bear with me for linkage] Along with classes, I'm the VP of IEEE of U of L and VP of Communications (Southeast) for NAESC, plus I'm going to be in cG, Speed School Student Council and hopefully join NSBE and maybe do some stuff with SWE. :)

So, life as I know it will be busy, weird, different, and fun. Not that I'm not up for it. And since Bridget's having surgery to lose weight (yay, so proud of you :D ), I've gotta keep up with her so I can keep stealing her clothes. ;-) I figure if I actually go to the gym and come home every once in a while and beat everyone at the house in DDR (yes, we finally got DDR Ultramix for the XBox) I can lose weight! Until next time... Take care of yourselves.... aaand, screw what everyone else says!!! You thought that was going to be a Jerry Springer moment, didn't you? :D
