this one is a shorty. I'm at Stephen's. He is napping. And looking tre-cute! I need to wake him up in 5 minutes so he can go to class.

Thanks goodness, I am done with class for the day. But not done being busy. I still have to get a ride to the WSO meeting tonight, and study, and spend time with Stephen (while we are both awake) and figure out my plan for today and tomorrow and e-mail my bio TA.

I'm sure it'll all get done. It's really not that bad. I am just so damn tired. I think it's the claritin. It didn't used to make me sleepy but I'm almost pos that it is making me tired now. that's no fun b/c I need it. Esp in Lubbock. My body doesn't like stuff floating in the air. And I don't like stuff my body doesn't like.

I've got so much to dish on getting initiated but I'll spill when I have more time. Ciao*

I had my first official CA staff meeting today. It was pretty good. I was so freakin' nervous!!!

I went over there right on time. I went to the dorm office and asked where the meeting was and the guy was like, "here." oh. I felt dumb. I started talking to a girl she is a freshmen too and a first time CA. She was pretty nice. But she knew some of the other CA's and when they showed up she wasn't talking to me any more.

I just felt so out of place! It didn't help that my boss kept calling me Martha. I was like, "No, that girl is tall and blonde and totally not me. And she left an hour ago."

I got some mentors and some projects to keep in mind for the fall. I can tell it is going to be work but it is going to be fun. I was so quiet at the staff meeting, totally not me. I was just so scared. I'm sure it'll wear off.

And I found out what floor I am going to be on! I will be on the 9th floor (out of 12) and in room 21. The girl that lives there now told me there is a great view. So I am exicted. Yeay.

They gave us a book to read. That made me chuckle. (I am already reading 5 books over summer and Stephen wants to read a book with me and I will be working and doing summer school.)

And we have a Theme. it is 'Movin' on up' because our dorm in a high rise. It's cute, but I did't vote for it.

I hate all this CA stuff though. I feel horrible that Stephen didn't get the job (he deserves it!) and he gets so angry when I talk about it. But I am so nervous and exicted about it and I have so much to say about it. but I don't want to hurt him.

Yesterday was the last WSO meeting of the semester. I went for 30 minutes. We handed out our goofy awards. Ari dropped me off at Stephen's. (She is so cool, I can't wait to get to know her better!)

When I got to Stephen's at 7:40ish, he wasn't there. I even went up to his room and he wasn't there. I went to the Student Union and he wasn't there. I went all over the parking lot and he wasn't there. So I started to go back to my place, in tears. Not fun.

He was at Wal-mart and the lines were long and there was traffic and he got back late. I wasn't so much mad as my feelings got hurt. I had no clue where he was. And I knew if it had been me that was late, he'd have ripped me a new one.

He bought me some taco bell to make it up to me so that helped. And he was having a bad day. His computer is on the fritz. I don't know what is wrong with it but it's messed up. I just hope nothing happens to my computer. It is finals time after all.

So I have a history final on Thursday. Trig final is on Friday. Speech final is on Tuesday. I turned in my english paper and don't have a bio final (b/c I got out of it) So I just need to study for history and Trig. This is proving to be very difficult though. Wish me luck*

I just got an e-mail from my bio professor, Mr. Atanassov, and he had some great news! I don't have to take the final! Yeay! Since I will have an A no matter what I make on the final exam it doesn't really matter if I take it or not. So now I don't have to study for biology, I know I got an A, and since I'm not using a scantron I will be helping to save paper! Everyone wins!

So, initiation! It was awesome! I don't know why, but I was so nervous! I think it's because they don't tell us what is going to happen and I don't know what to expect. They lined up all the pledges in a certain order and Alice led us into this dark room. The only light was from a candle at the front table and these candles all over the floor.

We walked in and the actives were all lined up and we all made this huge circle. Then Alice said some words and the president said some words. Then we got called one by one, in the order we were lined up in. We were handed a candle and a certificate. Our big sis's would meet come up to us and take off our pins and put a new gold pin on our shirts.

They did this for all of us. Then, our advisor, who was a WSO president in the 80's read this poem over and over again as we all lit our candles. The chaplin said something about putting your light on a hill and letting it grow and that WSO should be the same way. I thought that was cool. Then we blew out our candles.

Then they handed out best active and best pledge. Our pledge president got best pledge. She was so surprised and I'm really happy for her, she deserved it.

They had all of the new actives (aka pledges) go to the middle and sing the pledge song. And that was that. We are actives! Yeay! And I got a new pin and a white rose (b/c that is our symbol). I also got presents from my sis's. I got bath and body works stuff, a candle, a picture frame, and a big stuffed frog. I gave them bobble head frogs and rocks that I wrote, "you rock" on.

I am a little weirded out by it. It is just one more way that I am grown up. But I am also a little exicted. I feel a little transformed since I started this journey. It was hard and scary at times, but so so so much fun at others. It was so worth it*

I just got done packing up a lot of my stuff. Stephen and I are going to put stuff in our storage unit tomorrow. So I have 5 little white boxes. I packed up books and school supplies, winter clothes, towels and sheets.

I have more for storage (fridge, printer, detergent, etc) I just don't have enough boxes. But I am proud of myself for fitting this much stuff in this tiny space. I still have so much stuff!

My dad is coming on Tuesday. Yeay. He is gonna take me out to dinner (probably chili's or on the border which are both great). And I have a final on Tuesday but it's a blow off. You can't really study for something that is open book, open note and half questions we've already had.

Right now I am just waiting. Waiting to get out of here! I love going to school here but it isn't really somewhere that I want to be if I don't have to be here.

I am gonna have a burrito for dinner and try and kill some of my dining bucks! but first I gotta shower. (Yeah, I know it's bad that it is 5:30 pm and I haven't showered yet, but I'm in college; this is the way it is meant to be!)*
