I worked catering today. I was supposed to be there at 8 but I got there at 8:45. It was very boring and a lot of tedious and tiring things. I mostly just walked around with milk asking people if they wanted some. They usually didn't. Then I came back to my dorm and slept from 1-6:45. I hate family weekend. I hate seeing all of the cute little families. I hate that everyone is busy doing something else. I hate being sick. I hate being hung up on. I hate just sitting here. UGH!! Maybe I will call my mom and go home for the rest of the day.

I am really tired, but having fun. My first week at Concordia.
I moved in on August 30th and met my clubies. That night there was a welcome show which was pretty awesome. On Monday our club volunteered at Elim. I attempted to scrape food off of chairs, but I was fairly unsuccessful. Then we went to some seminars. The first one was called "Blank Slate" and was probably the most awkward experience of my life. One scene had a handicapped gay kid who was a huge slut and a potty mouth, another had a girl who had just gotten out of rehab and was yelling at her mother who didn't talk at all, one was about a guy who had raped this girl and was apologizing for it. The second thing I had to do was take an academic Proficiency Assessment. I don't think I did too well since I didn't write much. That night there was Cabaret which was very good the people doing it had lots of talent. The next day we had two more seminars, one of which was on LeadNow, which is a club I think I will be involved in this year. Then we had department previews where I found out I should probably scrap that plan from before. Then I met with my advisor who seems like a nice guy. After that I went to the Resource fair and got a die cut of a corncob. On Wednesday we went to a bunch of boring seminars, but we got to do our club cheer before each of them and that was pretty neat. Then we went to the President's Reception and Ice Cream Social. I was nervous that I would be covered in ice cream. Later our floor went to savers and got some costumes for the theme dance. On Thursday classes began. There was an Opening Convocation where one professor brought out a sorting hat for whatever reason. Then we had the beanie toss, and club 9 was right in front so a few of us got to be in the paper. My first class was Global Lit. and the Human Experience. I still need to do the reading from that class. Later I had World History in perspective to 1500 with my roomie, Jen. Those classes are both really long but also pretty interesting. In history we talked about the necessity of war. That night I went to the outdoor movie Up which was cute. On Friday I went to Wellness for fifteen minutes, the to Oral Com which I have with my clubies and Leadership which is also with them. For wellness we have to go to this seminar called "Drunk Sex or Date Rape: Can you tell the difference?" which is on Tuesday. I am really excited for that -_- Friday night was the theme dance. Our floors theme was purple. The floor below us went as mimes. Last night we had the Livedalen Olympics. In the first event we had to build a bell tower out of marshmallows and toothpicks. Then we had to pass a banana down a line using our feet. The third event made us blow into a bowl of flour until all of the flour was out of the bowl. The last event we had to smash eggs (some hard boiled and some not) on our RAs head until the got on that was raw. It was like Russian Roulette but with eggs. We lost all of the events. Today I played Frisbee with some people and had some fun. Everyone is so nice and friendly here.

Can you just leave?
Some bitchass kids came up to my door. They wanted to sell me some gold card for football. I told the stupid boy that my mother was not home and he asked if my dad was home. I really wanted to either say "fuck you, I don't need a man to tell me what to do" or "He is dead, kay" but I just said no he isn't. Then the stupid boy asked when they would be back, and I said "Maybe in an hour." The stupid little girl just kinda sat there looking like a freak.
I move into the dorms in 10 days and I am very excited. I think orientation will be fun. Classes begin on September 3rd and that makes me nervous. The Classes shouldn't be hard, but I am worried that I will underestimate the work load.
I am going to go get my yearbook.

Thoughts on Nationals and New School Year
Nationals was sooooooooo much fun! I think i liked Tennesse more, but this is a very, very close second. I was worried that the heat would make convention unbearable, but after the first day it was fine. The food that they served was very good. The only thing I really didn't like and couuld not get used to was the number of bikes. It was so scary walking down the street and almost getting hit by five bikes on one block. I didn't like spirit. I never like spirit. The RUSH day was okay because we actually had props. The fact that Ethan and Noah kept the extra money really pisses me off. They could have used the rest of it to get more props or could have put it in a fund for future us. They basically cheated everyone else. If a real politican did that they would get thrown out of office. It just makes me so angry. Other than those few off sets convention was a blast. It was a lot of fun hanging out with Brie, Jared, and Andrew at the ARC. Late night shenanigans with Brie is a nationals tradition. So many good quotes came from this trip too!
Post-nationals was also really fun. I had breakfast at the Fishermans' Warf with Brie, Jared, Andrew, and Schneider. Then the whole group when to Ghirardelli Square, and after a disappointing brownie Brie, Jared, Andrew, and I went on an adventure. First we took a bus to Chinatown and walked around there for a bit. Then we took the MUNI to the Castro and checked that out. Then we were escorted to Haight-Ashbury by a hippie. We ate there and then walked around looking at the multitude of bongs, bumper stickers and hippie gear. I didn't realize I was extremly tired until we were about to head back to the amtrak. In San Jose we went to a really nice Denny's.
School starts soon and I am very nervous. I have a lot of the things that I will need but I don't have everything I would like. My mom is making this somewhat difficult because she won't let me get any furniture yet.

My sleep schedule has been really off. I want to get out of the house, but that has been difficult since I don't know if I can drive.
I am really excited for natz. It will be so much fun. Maybe I should make some crafts to enter in contests.
