Just a few notes to add Monday from my last post:
Dammit: http://www.hammerandrails.com/2012/9/10/3313466/robert-marve-injury-update-of-course-it-is-a-torn-acl. Seriously, we have more ACL tears here than anywhere else I've ever heard of!
We had a good rehearsal tonight, and I got a compliment of sorts from one of my brothers, Chris. He's a tuba and they were putting their sousaphones (marching tubas) away before our rehearsal started and he asked how I enjoyed the sports this weekend. I was slightly confused, wondering what he specifically meant, and he said that he knew I really liked sports and football and so was asking how I liked the NFL being back. I mean, I'm not exactly subtle about it (maybe about as subtle as a knife... :] ) but I thought it was kinda sweet that he remembered and thought to ask :] And then I may or may not have been roped into playing tuba in GABS - Gold And Black Sound, the women's basketball pep band. I have a few tuba friends and they said they were going to teach me so that I could play with them. This should be interesting...
After rehearsal I asked Andy about the concert in February. I thought it was on the weekend of the Disney Princess Half Marathon that the over-21 Poole ladies are going to be running, and that was troublesome.
-If you miss a concert, you fail the class.
-I'm not missing the race (yeah, that ain't happening), so I would just not enroll in the class and just play with the group.
-However, to be active in Psi you need to be enrolled in a Band class.
-This means I'd have to go conditional - I'd be a conditional member since I wouldn't be in a band class.
-But I want to take a little brother next spring (if it works out) and conditional members can't take littles.
-This presents a conundrum.
I was ready to plead my case to Andy, and I was willing to do just about anything to make up for the missed concert, but then he told me that it'll be the weekend before the half marathon! Huzzah! I was in a rather smiley mood after that :]
And then I got to fight with my Vector Calculus homework. I did pretty well, considering I missed a class last week (the one I slept through).
The Bengals v. Ravens game was on, so I watched that - it was supposed to be a pretty good game.
Or the Ravens could just destroy the Bengals, that would work too. Joe Flacco had a good game :]
Then the Raiders v. Chargers game came on and the intro showed shots of the seats. Raiders fans are so weird... I only watched one quarter of that game because it was time for me to sleep :]
Tuesday I had planned to be up at 6.30 to run, but then I woke up at 7.40... oops.
But it was definitely IR time - massive amounts of people on Memorial Mall, a ginormous effing tractor outside Weatherill Hall and about 2/3 of the student population was dressed in business formal attire. IR is Industrial Roundtable - a huge engineering-based career fair that takes place over 2 days.
I had class and then took a short nap before work, which was a fairly boring shift so at one point I was helping a coworker study her Japanese vocab.
When I got back to the house, I still had to finish homework so I joined Seth and Catherine in the common room and got that done.
Wednesday I had class in the morning, then randomly found a pretty good article about Walt Disney and how people keep saying he's a racist and anti-Semitic: http://backstagemagic.tumblr.com/post/26684569337
We had a good orchestra rehearsal, and then those of us that were playing joined the outdoor games runsh event for KKPsi and TBS (the band fraternity and sorority). We missed most of the actual outdoor games, but there were still people there so we got to talk with them.
Thursday I had to do some homework so I didn't have time to run in the morning - I decided to wait till after dinner. I had class and exec, and then went to get new running shoes! I knew that I was going to need new shoes before the half marathon in February and I wanted to make sure that they would be broken in before that time. I made it back in time for the house dinner, and after I sat on a couch downstairs for some reading and hanging with Mariah - it was fun :] I got a book on my kindle entitled How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life - it's a mixture of a biography of Walt Disney and learning from his life and actions. I'm really enjoying it :]
Friday was quite a good day. I had class and a chapter services meeting for Psi first. Then I got a scarf - every semester or so there's a booth-thing that sells fair-trade things for a week. This past week it was outside Class of 1950 lecture hall, and on Monday I saw a cute black, brown and grey scarf that I wanted. Well, I then prceeded to forget to go and get it for about 4 days, so I was rather excited when it was still there on Friday :] And the PASE-mobile was right there too, so I got a free shirt for being a PASE member and answered some Purdue trivia and got a gift card to Puccini's. So that was pretty awesome :]
After my last class of the day, I debated about going to see Finding Nemo in 3d, but that meant that I'd actually have to go over to the theater. So staying in and reading How to Be Like Walt won :] It's very interesting, I'm learning all sorts of fun stuff. Like how Walt and Lillian Disney first met and all - the story of how he proposed is adorable :D
There were two girls that worked at the Disney company, Kathleen and Lillian. Normally Walt would give the two rides home, since he was just that kind of guy - didn't want to make them walk or have to ride a bus or something like that. Normally he would drop off Lillian first because that was just the best route. She said that when he started dropping off the other girl first, that was when she realised that he was interested. One evening, he asked her she would introduce him to her sister if he bought a suit (she was from Idaho, her sister lived in LA and Lillian was staying with her while working at Disney). He got the suit and met Lillian's sister and they all enjoyed it, she liked him and he liked her and everyone was happy. One day while driving around, Walt turned to Lillian and said 'You know, this Ford's getting pretty beat up. You're a practical girl, which should I buy - a new car or an engagement ring for your finger?' I was like 'Aww!' :D
I read from after class (around 1.30) till like 7.45 and planned on staying in all evening, however, Matt Damon and the Bourne Identity wound up being enough to tempt me out. Oh, and hanging with Geoff too ;D
Saturday I had work at 5.30 O.o And while there I inadvertently did the splits - ouch. I just kinda went down and stayed down for a moment. Casey asked if I was ok, I said I was but I just needed to not move for a few seconds... That was fun...
Then it was a football game! Woo! And we won too :] Unfortunately, it also meant that football game burns are back... Last game it was dark and late enough that I didn't get burned, but for noon games the sun is to my left in the student section, so the left side of my face and neck got burned. Blast.
After the game I went to Chipotle to get some foods, and after that Geoff came over so I had a good afternoon :]
Then it was time for Doctor Who! It was a party: me, Geoff, Seth, Catherine and Mario were all there.
And my hips were still hurting from doing the splits that morning... that was annoying.
Today I wokke up in time to go to the 9.30 Campus House service (and I wasn't expecting to wake up till 9.30 or so, that was surprising. It was a good service, and meant that I had time to go for a run after. As I was stretching and icing I put the tv on a football channel, but then accidentally took an hour nap. Heh, didn't mean for that one to happen...
I did sound at Wesley, so once the band was done rehearsing it turned into me and Jason fighting against time and the Wesley computer. Dale wasn't there, so we had to run the powerpoint that shows song lyrics and scripture to people. That was fun, but we actually got it up before they sang more than one verse of the first song, so we made it! :]
After Wesley was chapter, and after chapter was an Insomnia cookie run :]
It wasn't quite sleepy time for me, so I decided to watch a Disney movie! I was going to watch Beauty and the Beast in my room, but Seth and Mariah also wanted to watch a movie so Seth, Mariah, David, Christian and I all wound up watching The Little Mermaid (for the record, David and Seth are the ones that chose that one, not me or Mariah :P ). That was fun, but now it is sleepy time and I have class tomorrow morning so I shall say good night. Later!
