It's about that time in the semester where we've been in school for almost a month and, at least in my case, the workload is starting to hit hard. You start getting those raccoon eyes from staying up all night, walk around campus in such a daze that you barely notice the bike rider heading right towards you, and feel all the early signs of mid-semester stress. The last two weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind filled with unsurmountable amounts of reading for my politics of the 1960's class and art history (where my professor is a female version of Ben Stein). My apartment is usually empty in the evenings cuz my roomies have night classes, so i have been heading over to ADPi for most weeknight dinners and then a few hours of study. They have a cute porch swing that you can sit on facing the Row and do your reading out there. It's really nice actually. That's one thing that's totally lacking from these west coast homes: porches. Back east, they have these awesome porches build on to the front of the house where you can go out and sit, eat dinner, or whatever. I remember when I used to live in New Jersey for a year or so, my brother and I would camp out on the porch and watch the fireflies through the screen that surrounded the porch.
Speaking of ADPi, I was completely embarassed today on my way to Monday night dinner and chapter meeting. I was walking from my apartment when I saw this girl across the street. If you know me, you know that I have the vision of an 3 toed sloth (not good) and so I thought this girl was Chelsea, a girl from my sorority. I called out to her and she turned around so I assumed it was her. She had Chelsea's coloring and answered to her name and was wearing big giant sunglasses so I crossed the street and starting talking to her as we walk to the house. I told her about my day and this long elaborate story about how I almost got locked out because our locks were changed. I was talking for about 2 minutes when she looks over and says "oh, what sorority are you in?" WTF? I did a double take and realized this wasn't Chelsea, it was some random girl I didn't know at all!! Turns out it was a girl named Caitlyn from Kappa Kappa Gamma and she pretty much thought I was insane. Which i am for not realizing who I was talking to. So we walked the rest of the way in pretty much complete silence...all the while I wanted to jump in an open sewer covering. But at least i got to send out some deliveries today. I hope people liked them.
First home football game was last Saturday against Colorado State. My dad went to University of Colorado and I guess they are rivals, so he eapecially wanted us to beat them. I went with Angela, Hilary, and Leona. We decided to go for the whole experience with tailgating around campus and then heading off to the game early enough to get seats. It was soooo scorching! An easy 95 degrees before the sun went down. I wish it was winter with the cold and the rain and the sweatshirts. After about an hour of standing in the sun Angie and I decided it would be good to get some water, which was just in time cuz I noticed I started getting all icky and lightheaded. It was a good game, we kicked Colorado's ass with a score of 49-0. I love when USC wins, but sometimes it's more fun to watch a closer game. I was never super into football before coming to college. Basketball was definitely my sport to watch, but I'm glad I have a new found appreciation for football. I'm heading up to Palo Alto for the Stanford weekender in 2 weeks, it should be a good trip. Better than last year Im sure when I got lost in San Francisco by myself and ended up wandering around the downtown area before finding the right BART to take.
I Want to go to disneyland soon. Would anyone care for a trip??
