Work, Legends, art.........stuff?
Since Friday I have been ridiculously busy! I moved in on said day to Legends Hall, the extremely unfinished new hall adjacent to College Inn(hence forth known as CI). I mean really, I was surprise and maybe agitated to find that after a five hour drive from Houston, instead of leisurely taking my things to my room, I'd have to tug and pull and tug and drag my things up four flights of stairs and then breathlessly hussle, with stinging, strained muscles, to my room that stood at the very end of the hall. Not only that, but I had to manuever(yes, manuever) around the many things in the hallway: plastic from furniture, cardboard boxes, the HD's stuff pushed against the hall. I was not happy. Moreover, there was no electricity until 5pm and my boss, when I entered, gave me a cold stare of confusion(because I moved in a day early? what difference does it make?). Well, I might be exaggerating--I doubt I was THAT annoyed or met at all with a cold stare, it just makes a good story, right?
Anyway, eventually I was moved in, the lights were on, and I could stay the night. The weekend was filled with helping everyone get Legends ready in whatever way I could. I was actually surprised so many Exec. officers had moved in before me...I could have sworn I was the only one, as I only saw RAs each day.
Anyway, I had to go to the typical things: training, CI pool party, spirit dance. The last two not being my cup of tea. It's really no good when you don't know anyone there. EDIT : Oh, that and the fact that people walking past me while I stare off into the sea of people doing whatever, telling me to smile. Quoi? Pourquoi? À quoi je souris? RIEN!! It's silly, why should I smile at people playing volleyball in the muggy pool of CI? Are you smiling at them? Do normal people smile at them? Why should I smile if I'm bored? No one would, so why bother me? I'm not smiling because I have.nothing.to.smile.at. This really annoyed me as someone who I didn't even know told me this. I swear. Why do people I just met...not even a week ago take it upon themselves to tell me to smile as if they know I'm a sad, lonely child from the back-roots of nowhere. Am I weird? Maybe it's the nose ring...
ANYWAY! Today was my last day of work, I'm happy for that as I'm tired of the constant walking and the crazy tan I've gotten. I got a great email today finally saying I am in the Honors college, great! Only problem is I don't want to take any filler classes just so that I am active, but all the core classes are gone. I don't need electives and I refuse to drop any of my major classes. I worked to hard for those. So, I'm going to see if I can do an Honors contract for one of my 3000-level french classes and have that count as my 3 hour honors enrollment. NSE would count as 3hrs for next semester, so I'm set.
I'm so excited for classes!
