So here’s a novel idea…. if there is a rule, and you break it, you should be prepared to face the consequences. If you aren’t comofortable with the consequences, then don’t break the rules.
It bothers me how many people have problems with that concept. Like the residents who were partying the other night and said we were lucky they even opened the door for us. No, actually if you didnt open the door we could have called for permission to key in ourselves. This is college, not real life. There are rules and people enforcing them and you need to understand that. And if you would just be a little bit smarter, and I dont know, NOT drink in a freshman dorm! Then maybe noone would interrupt your party.

Today has been a good day, even though I haven’t gotten half of what I hoped to accomplished. I slept in and went to brunch. Brunch was amazing, as always. Then I went to buy my class ring. That’s such a big step- my class ring. I picked out a small one. It has a square top with onyx and ‘09 and BS on the side. I’m worried that I should have gotten one size bigger than I did, because I kind of like my rings to be loose. But there is a day in January where we can try them on and they can make changes.
Later I went to the synchronized swimming show. It was really good. I’ve never seen it before and it was awesome. Then two friends and I got KFC and had a picnic outside.
Tomorrow we’re having a building program. We’re watching March of the Penguins and having free sno-cones. I feel like I’ve been doing alot of the planning and arranging things and I wish I wouldn’t take so much responsibility on myself.
Two residents on my floor went to the hospital last night. I told them though, I would rather this than alcohol violations. I mean, I guess they would rather not be sick, but its easier for me. I’m a terrible person.
But incidents at midnight, when you were thinking about starting the homework you should have done last week…. not so good. I’m a little worried about how I can get it all done.
I also need to stop thinking that because a class is easy I dont need to do work for it. Thats how I’ve been with finite math and now I’m freaking out. I have a test and a project due on Thursday. ugh.
I am getting really good at coloring birthday hats. I’ve been coloring them for each of my residents and hanging it on their door on their birthday. I have 3 birthdays in the next week so I decided to make them all at once. And seriously, if I could go into the birthday hat sign business I would. haha.
My mom started telling me I should look into study abroad again. When I came to college I was seriously interested in study abroad, but after a couple of semestes I wasn’t sure. I realized how hard it would be to finish my major and the education program and also study abroad. So I changed my mantra and started thinking about the pros of not studying abroad. But now my mom is bringing it up again. She really wants me to study abroad, which I’m sure is really because its something she would love to do. Her trip to Europe when she was in her 20’s definately changed her life. I would love to study abroad, but financially and realistically I don’t think it will work. To graduate in time the only feasable study abroad option at this time is a summer program. However a summer program is just more money that I’m spending. Unless I could get financial aid I don’t think I could afford it. And that’s why I’m so frustrated that she brought it up. Now the idea is back in my head and its so appealing. I’m really into the idea of the European Capitals Tour. London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Prague. arghhhh…. so frustrating.
I was supposed to give a tour this morning, but noone was there so I got to come back to the room early. That was a nice surprise. I got to catch up on some homework I had been putting off.
I’ve been catching up on watching big brother 8 online. At home my family watches reality TV all together and since coming back to school I havent watched it at all. But the past few days I caught up on the past 3 weeks of episodes. I’m really glad Eric and Jessica are still around since they’re my favorite players. Plus I think they’re really cute together.
Tonight is my first hall program. We’re playing Apples to Apples and I’m going to bake some cookies. I really hope alot of residents come. I want to get to know them all better and for them to get to know each other better. Its hard because the two corners of the hall are pretty far apart from each other. And the stupid doors don’t stay open unless you use a doorstop. We’ll see.
