wow. college life is amazing. i try to ask myself why. i cant really pinpoint one specific reason. its more of a culmination of many different things. we had orientation for one week before classes started which was awesome. all the fun of college minus the classes. new student week was allegedly dry... i have one of the signs on my door: 'new student week is DRY: absolutely no alcohol on the premises' this was the biggest joke ive ever heard. the freshman freeze is also another large joke on campus. the 3 coolest frats, in my personal opinion, are the lodge (aka chi psi), DU, and delta. you can go there and hang out if theres a huge party, just a couple ppl, or you go and hang out w/ em by yourself. i think imma rush just for kicks but there's no way imma have time to be in a frat if i wanna be an engineer. speaking of being an engineer, im surprised at how much less work i hafta do compared to the arts/sci ppl on my floor. they have seminars, distros, language requirments, reading assignments, videos to watch. school started last wednesday and i still manage to go out every night. its a good motto yet might prove difficult to uphold. if the guys on my floor aren't partying i go to this other dorm on the opposite side of campus and chill w/ the ppl there. its a really quiet type dorm. everybody's really, really friendly and such. they have group activities to get to know each other. you're walking down the hall and somebody in the opposite direction introduces themself to you. bobb on the other hand, ppl arent as friendly, not that they arent, the guys on my floor kick ass, but still. its kinda like i have the best of both worlds at this point. yeah, 1st floor bobb is where it's at. the other night we got a huge rubber band ball and were chucking it up and down the hall at stacked recycling bins at both ends. first team to knock all the other team's bins down wins. it was also even more difficult a task because we have massive garbage bins in the hallways. these huge bins are chained to the walls. just about everything in bobb is chained to something. i think there was an incident one year when somebody threw a chair out their window and hit somebody but im not sure. my team won the first round of 'jungle ball' as we so called it, and we were starting round 2 when an ra from another floor came and said we had to stop. why? bc we had to keep the recycling bins in our rooms. it wasnt a problem that one of us might get hurt by this 5 lb mass flying through the air. recycling bins over safety. who knows.
yes, the guys on my floor are surprisingly awesome. the ra is really cool with anything we do too. he sees us in the middle of sumthin and just shakes his head. all the indian ra guys are cool. some ppl even think im an ra. the off campus parties are pretty dissapointing. to. there's kegs all over the place, and to some this may seem appealing but not so to one who doesnt drink beer. i am told that this will change within the course of this first quarter though. 2 nights ago we were playing jungle ball
and somebody opened the door at the end of the hall to come in and normally we stop for things like this but the ball was thrown and it went down the hall, out the door, and through a glass door leading to the other side of bobb. we all scattered and some cops came but around 9am the next day it was fixed. we were all sure we were going to have a floor meeting or something bc a couple nights before some of us had boarded up this one kids dorm. it was my roommate's brilliant idea to fill a recycling bin w/ water and put that up too so when this guy pushed the cardboard the bin'd fall out and he'd get soaked or just hit in the head. ppl are always asking me how my roommate is and i dont have any complaints [yet]. some ppl have really messed up roommates... oh yeah, i also managed to get into this a capella group on campus, brown sugar. its 12 indians that sing hindi music. im pretty psyched about it cuz we might be going to berkley for some national asian a capella competition in early november. we're not sure if we're goin cuz of money and logistics but if we do that'd be awesome.
ive been going to a couple different clubs which is awesome. ppl go to 'the keg' on monday nights and 'the deuce' on thursday nights. first i was skeptical about going out on any other day but weekends. then i was converted and decided monday and thursday were good days to party too. somehow i cant even limit myself to those days either. on saturday nu beat ohio and you gotta party after something like that. friday, i saw sarah after about a month which was really nice. she got me a killer whale that's now on my desk next to the french duck. a while back she said she really liked owls, and i said they were scary and that my fav animal was a killer whale. yeah, killer whales can do a lotta damage but you always hear the hoot hooting of some owl in all the scary movies. just about everybody ive asked at nu says that owls are more scary. i came back from depaul friday night and then went to allison (a dorm) and watched 2 movies and had pizza there. saturday night was spent at du where me and my roommate decided that we should board up somebody's room there too. sunday night was spent maxing out in the dorm w/ a bunch of sexiles. monday night lodge then the keg. yesterday night was spent at the lodge then some upscale place called the 1800 club. one would think id just hang out for a while then head off to bed seeing as i have class at 8AM every single morning, however each night i only managed to get to bed around 3, 3.30. i take siestas for a couple hrs after i get back from class so im always golden. NU is def the best thing that's ever happened to me. and it's only week 3. :_
'boo-yah!'
'mike jones! mike jones! mike jones! slim thugga!'
'i take you for granted, siby'
'i gotta start putting last names in my phone, im gettin tired of tryna remember who like, brittney3 is'
'all the girls call him johnny oops now'
'id get w/ both of them at the same time; it'd be like we are the world - white, black, and brown'
'i got into brown sugar!' 'that your girlfriend or something?'
'i checked my email at 4 this morning and found that siby samuel had requested i be his friend; you dont know how much that meant to me'
'this place looks kinda shady'
'actually, some guy got shot here last week'
'there was a shooting? what are we doing here?? you know what? moony and shootings do not go well together!'
'4 dollar pitchers, man'
'no, im serious, shootings fuck you up!'
'so do 4 dollar pitchers'
'yeah i used to not drink beer either, then one day she spoke to me'
'what'd she say?'
'she was sitting there, and she was very beautiful. she spoke to me. she said 'drink me jc' and i did. and it was wonderful'
'what was her name?'
'her name was heinekin'
random thought: this gandhi poster in my room is too pimp.
