Oh yeah, or not.
Anyways, Thursday was a pretty good day. I was wearing my purple Star Wars shirt, BIT pin and some blue and brown argyle socks - I felt pretty awesome :D Even though it was another disgustingly slushy and grey day. That meant that I just relaxed and read when I wasn't in class, which was nice :]
No one was making the house dinner, so I had to decide whether I was hungry or nauseous - a common issue with me, annoyingly. I had 2 biscuits and settled on nauseous so I was done.
I had some time and homework to do, sp I thought I'd watch the Lion King while doing the work - I mean, I know it well so I don't have to watch really closely.
Well, the flaw in my logic was I'd forgetten how I love that movie, so I didn't really get much homework done... ;D
Then it was time for our first BIT meeting. We got our membership manual things and we started the process of learning about the fraternity, chapter, band department and university. It's pretty cool, I'm enjoying it.
We had to divide up into committees for the semester - I'm on the Walkabout committee, so I'll be planning Walkabout. Walkabout is where we set up some sort of scavenger hunt -type thing for the active brothers so they can get to know us new kids. We also got started on choosing our class name. My favorite quote from the evening is the title of this post :D (it's a Skyrim joke, if you want to know here)
After that fun, I went back to A-gate and watched the X Games skiing with Jake, Seth and Kyle - I was using them to hold me accountable and make me do homework instead of sitting and reading my BIT manual like I would've.
However, it didn't work so Friday I didn't let myself read it all day. Yes, I need to do this kind of rewards and punishment system on myself - it's actually quite efective. Most of my rewards are watching movies, or reading, or I get an oreo :D
Class was rather uneventful, and then I got home and made myself some potato soup and biscuits for dinner :D (my mom made me some soup and froze it for me to have here :D I love that potato soup)
I went to badminton to get the money and things, then went to have a bike workout. I haven't played in 9 months or so, I got the feeling I'd just embarass myself and whoever got stuck playing with me and went to bike.
I got back and the big tv in the second floor common room was free. So I had a choice - did I want to watch Beauty and the Beast or hook up my PS2 and play The Force Unleashed (Star Wars game)? Decisions Decisions...
The Force Unleashed won :] I was having fun - and at one point Pat stopped by to see what I was playing. At first he thought it was the 360 - I laughed and told him that it was my PS2. (the Xbox 360 has better graphics - and Kyle has the game for the 360.) That was fun, I stayed up till about 1.30 playing - Kyle and Seth were playing a computer game downstairs so I didn't have to fight them for the tv :D
Saturday I got up and did my Spanish homework, so I let myself go through the BIT manual (see - reward :] )
Around 2 I went to the Union to hang with my friend John - the one from my Stat class last semester. He's a great friend, I'm glad that we're still able to hang even though we don't have a class together.
After winter break, my mom sent me this thing to hang on my wall where I can put pictures and whatnot - I needed a drill though (and I do have a rad set of tools, but evidently my dad didn't think I'd be needing a drill amongst the wrenches and wire clippers :D ). Andrew does have a drill, though, so I finally got it up :]
Here you go. I like it :D
That night was a Bang! night. It was slated to be a MOW event, so during house dinner the guys voted that Catherine and I are now men so we could join them :] It was a fun night - we played 3 games and had somewhere between 8-10 people playing throughout the duration. I highly dislike being sheriff, so I was rather glad when I wasn't for any of the 3 rounds :D
Sunday I did some more homework - yay! O.o
My reward was a movie, thoguh, and I picked The Hunt for Red October. I haven't seen it in a while, it's a good movie. There's one scene where I always think of my dad, he says it's his favorite character - basically all he says is 'Yeah, yeah' to everyone who says anything to him through the entire walk to his office. I was laughing :D
The Winter X Games were still going, so Seth and I watched them for a bit before I went to church and he kept working on homework.
After church I had chapter - we decorated envelopes for valentines :] which means I need to go out and buy 50-something valentines. I need to get some food too, so I'll be going out in my free time on Thursday.
After chapter was another BIT meeting - we started our lessons and played Jeopardy. We were in teams, one team was the Vipers and my team was the Viper Eaters / nom. nom. / Honey Badgers / We Give No F**ks
Quite the team name, no? :D We started out as the Viper Eaters in response to the Vipers, then it just got gradually longer and longer :]
After the meeting, a group of us went out to Five Guys and Red Mango. That was fun :D
I got back home and watched more X Games with Seth, Kyle and Catherine. There was a guy that did the first front flip ever on a snowmobile, it was insane. I still don't know how he managed to pull that one off. Then we saw the finals for the snowboarding super pipe - Shaun White is insane. He had a 94 from his first run, then messed up the second. Before his last run, no one had beaten him so he goes out to take his vicory lap. It was an awesome run - and he scored a perfect 100. My jaw dropped, all of us in the room were just in awe. His goof off run was the one where he just smoked the records. It was pretty nifty to be watching :D
So now I've caught up to today. I had class this morning, and in Spanish they keep talking about studying abroad. I want to go back! Seriously - if someone called me up and offered me an opportunity to move to Great Britain tomorrow, I'd pack up what I could and fly over this weekend. Maybe I'll look into a Spring Break Trip... :D
I had a quiz in Probability today - and the first question was inspired my a Dr Seuss book so I had to read it three times to figure out what was going on and what they wanted from me :]
Tonight's orchestra and a badminton meeting, and I'm rather tired, so hopefully they won't go too long so I can sleep.
Peace.
