I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MONKEY-FIGHTING FRESHMEN, IN MY MONKEY-FIGHTING PARKING SPOTS!

Finally at school. Woot!

I'm starting to get pretty excited about a few of my upcoming events. Sunday are the RA floor meetings, and I'm hoping to make it to every single one. I probably should plan a speech of sorts, though, because I'll be dashing in and out of those. Monday, then, is the first RSA meeting, which, again, requires me to write up an agenda of sorts. The Sunday after the first week of school I have my Welcome Back frozen custard social, the first test of both the new RSA members and the willingness of the residents to participate. I'll be purchasing three giant tubs of custard and toppings. So, that's just the first week. Oh, and little things in there like General Council meetings, exec meetings, and my President-Advisers meeting.

There was some mistake and a bunch of freshmen ended up with Priority parking passes at the cost of a regular one. I'm afraid to drive anywhere, because i know I'll lose my parking spot. Last night I had to park in front of Walker. I think they're going to have to completely redistribute them, honestly, which really sucks. Or just redistribute a different color of priority passes and give the mistake freshmen regular passes. I don't know.

Move-in day was yesterday. I got to spend 5 hours renting out dollies to freshmen to move their stuff. And then tracking them down when they didn't return them for 2 hours. Fun stuff. The thing is, as annoying and terrible as it sounds, I really did miss it all.

Theres's all sorts of drama going on within the exec team of HCSA again. We're all hoping we don't have to go through and do another last-minute appointment for a vacated position. It's not looking good.

I'm planning on spending my day collecting free stuff and then planning for the next week or so.

3 days!

With the school year oh-so-fast approaching, I'm going to try, once again, to kick my blogging butt into high gear. The only problem? No idea what to say.

I've finally got a car. It's pretty, dark blue. We found it on Craig's List. It's kind of funny because at the beginning of the process I found the prettiest car-- a dark blue Pontiac Sunfire (2002, I think), right withing our price range-- and by the next day, the ad was down; it had sold. I was extremely disappointed because the search yielded very little else for at least a week. And then I found the Cavalier. Dark Blue. 2002. So similar, in fact, that most repair manuals will group the two together. So, yeah, that's my car. It's gorgeous, to me anyway. Still needs a name. And apparently some repairs. We've been searching the junkyards for days getting all the details in place, and thought we were done until my dad decided to teach me how to change a tire today. The wheel that we had randomly selected appeared to be rusted on to the hub (someone tell me how far off I am in my car terminology, 'cause I have no idea what I'm talking about). Can't wait to see how much this repair costs.

As of right now, I'm at Caribou again. I'm running out of time for these trips. I'll probably be here on Friday, but that's it. Saturday an acquaintance who lives somewhat nearby and also goes to OU will be caravanning with us down to OK. We plan to leave by 6 AM, which means no pre-travel Caribou. Friday night is it. I'm almost not sure which I'll miss more, Caribou, or the employees there. No, I take that back. Definitely the coffee. I wonder what would happen if I go to a coffee shop in OK and ask for a Reindeer Drink. I expect blank stares.

AT&T Commercial

Everyone loves that song and the commercial because they're just so damn cute.



I think there's something seriously wrong with me. I think I need more self-confidence. I think I need a guy, just so that pressure of "first boyfriend" can finally go away. I think I need to give it a rest and stop doing this over and over again, stop making something out of nothing, stop trying so hard, and stop letting myself get so involved. So what do I do instead?
