Life goes on

Sorry for the lack of a nifty title tonight but I'm just feeling a little restless tonight. I need to sleep because i'm supposed to be waking up in about 7 or 8 hours to drive back to Berkeley to go shopping for my big sib tomorrow, but for some reason I'm not tired so I guess updating this would be a good idea.

Well first off I'll start with how I feel about a few of my friends back at home. I think its pretty funny how my group of friends back there ditched me just because of a few things someone said about me. Good job guys; totally alienating someone whose been your friend for what, 4 years now? Its just crazy seeing how people change and others don't, and it all falls to pieces.

Another thing thats been kinda bugging me is my roommates. Last night, my roommate used the dorm as a house party thing, which really doesn't bother me. What did bother me though, is that all his fucking friends drank my orange juice without asking me because they needed chasers for their shots. Thats hella inconsiderate because it was a brand new bottle of orange juice and they also drank half my bottle of apple juice. I mean, what the hell you know? I might as well just buy my own personal refridgerator because I can't leave anything in the fridge without someone eating it. I had a case of 30 corndogs in the freezer and now theyre all gone. I only had about 5 of them, and I saw the people last night eating them. If my roommate doesn't come back with corndogs and orange juice this weekend, then shits going down.

It got so crazy last night that I didn't have a place to sleep. My roommate was sexing his gf in our room, and I didn't wanna sleep with a bunch of drunk white people so luckily my friend called me up and we ended up sleeping at her place. Thing is though, she left like, halfway through the night, which made it really awkward because its not like it was our dorm. It really didn't make me all too mad because without her, I'd probably have been using a few drunk people for body warmth, but it made my other friend pretty mad so yeah that night didn't go all too well. I ended up waking up at a super late time also haha.

Today was pretty fun though. Ended up going to the city, ate some really good country fried steak at a place called Tad's Steaks in San Fran. Very very good although they didn't have onion rings which was disappointing. Me and my friend were craving onion rings that whole night so the lack of onion rings kinda took away from the night as a whole haha. We also got to see the christmas tree in Union Square. Really really nice and pretty cause of all the lights. We also went and shopped for a bit at Old Navy. Not really my choice of store to shop at but they had some really good sales going on, like t-shirts for 5 dollars. I got like 3 new shirts lol. I've been really glad with the purchases ive made recently. I bought girls pants for the very first time yesterday because they were both cheaper than the guys pants and they were more comfortable. I mean, nobodys going to notice that I'm wearing girls pants right? And I'm one of those guys that just wears skinny jeans anyways so it doesn't matter.

Aphio has been going pretty well so far. I've really like the pledging process so far and to be honest, I would have liked it to be even tougher. Its not fair for the people that have all their shit straight. Theres a few pledges that don't have enough hours and stuff like that, so we're having to struggle to make all these new and random ass service projects for people to do. I just think its unfair that we have to help them with stuff like this because if they had done it in the first place, they wouldn't have had a problem with it.

Crossover is happening pretty soon though. I think I'll find out if I'm crossing over next friday. We're turning in our binders on Tuesday also so yeah we don't have much time left. Making the decision to pledge for aphio has probably been one of the best decisions ive made in my entire life because its made me find my new family. Before I started pledging, I hung out with hardly anyone on campus but now that I pledged, its as if my social capacity has done a complete 180 and ive made friends with more people these past few weeks than I have these past few years. It just feels good to finally be part of a family again. Whether or not I cross into aphio, this has been an experience I will never forget and these friends will be with me forever.

The times they are a-changin

So my life has been changing pretty crazily these past few weeks. Since I've been super busy these past few weeks, I haven't had much time to update my blog, so I don't even know where to start anymore. I guess I'll just start with some stuff from my college life.

I'm really having a great time rushing for APO. I finally got my big sib this week and I'm super happy that I got her cause we get along really well. It was pretty funny when I asked my pledgemaster how we got put together cause she just responded with "Oh you two were really easy. You're like the same, you both are crazy!". Just overall I've been really happy with how things have been going with rushing. I know that I'm getting a little behind on interviews but I'm sure that once I start getting some of them, I'll be able to finish without a problem.

As far as fundraising for the pledge class is going, its a totally different story. I don't think I mentioned this before, but I got elected treasurer of the pledge class. I don't really think I'm that well qualified for it; I'd personally rather have the VP spot but being treasurer is just fine. I do have some fundraisers planned out though. I just needa get them all set up on monday. To just put this as a reminder to myself, call up McDonalds on Monday and visit the San Leandro Chili's also on Monday to set up a night with them. Hopefully by the time we get these done, we'll have around 500-600 dollars in our bank account, then we can do alot of minor things, like recycling cans for money, or bake sales and stuff like that for just random money. If anyone has any really good fundraising ideas then you should get at me haha.

I think ima avoid posting about a certain subject because I know i'll probably piss a few people off by writing it, but lets just say that I got rid of the one thing in my life that was an annoyance to me this past month. I'll also just say that I'll probably be making alot more visits to UC Davis in the future haha.

Last night was really fun because it was Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday in the year because I get to dress up as whatever I want without any consequences. If you know me well, you'll know that I like dressing up as different stuffs as much as I can because I like to break down the walls of my own normality. Theres some really good pictures of me on my facebook if you care to check. But yeah I'll leave the Halloween post to its own seperate blog because it was a really fun night.
