what a difference a year makes.
honestly, i really don't know why i felt motivated to post on my inactive livejournal in the early hours of the morning... but here goes nothing...
i look back at where i was a year ago. i felt like at asu i was left behind. all of my friends were out of phoenix, enjoying life and in many ways i somewhat felt abandoned. i viewed my scholarship program in a negative light-- as the reason why i was still in phoenix. i could only count my friends at asu on one hand. the only friend i actually enjoyed hanging out with was su. while i don't regret my long-distance relationship last year, at times, i feel like i missed out on the freshman year experience.
basically, at asu, i felt uncomfortable in a city so familiar to me...
however, i can look back fondly because asu is my school and i am happy.
so many things have changed this year. i am no longer close with many people that were negative influences in my life last year. i've found amazing friends, stayed close with my xavier/brophy friends and have found a sorority with amazing girls. unfortunately, a lot of my friends were very negative about me rushing. however, i have confidence that if anyone took 5 minutes to meet any girl in chi omega, they would be pleasantly suprised. not only are these girls gorgeous, but they live balanced lives-- focusing on fun, school, friends and family. its hard to explain but theres just a special feeling i get when i walk on campus wearing my chi omega shirts... i admit there are moments when i feel like i'm stuck in the book pledged but for the majority of the time... i have had a positive experience.
chi omega can best be summed up by our creed:
To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed;
to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances;
to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular';
to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand;
to be womanly always;
to be discouraged never;
in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.
this is so sorority girl to post this. but whatever.
i've stopped caring the negative thoughts people have about things that i enjoy.
basically, i'm happy to say that i feel like i'm so blessed. i'm blessed to have new friends to meet, but at the same time, i'm blessed to be able to have lunch with su and see liz, megan, emily, etc. constantly. i'm blessed to have my family close. i'm blessed to have warm weather.
okay. i'll stop.

24 hours with no sleep what-so-ever.
48 hours with 1 hour of sleep.
72 hours with 6 hours of sleep.
But on a positive note...
8 hours until human event is done FOREVER.
50 hours until SUMMER.
68 hours until i see KYLE.
the only thing that is keeping me going is the promise of the best summer yet (and outrageous amounts of caffenine).

ah ah ah.
i only update when procrastinating...
1) i like asu. i'm finally getting the hang of things. i really like my women's studies class. its an upper-division honors class & its really really challenging but i feel like i have grown. my professor flies in from columbia every week for class & is a rhodes scholar & is amazing & wears chanel & i adore her. today she approved my topic for my 15 (eek) page research paper. human event is human event. papers make me want to pull out my hair. i'm pulling my hair out right now. marx, hegel...my head hurts.
i cut back on my extra-circs this semester. i've just been involved in lsp, yd's (less than last semester & i want to change that) and then interning. my internship is really cool, i wish i had more time to go into the office & intern.
2) kyle's home this week. all i want to do is spend every minute of the day with him. but it seems like whenever he's in town i always have a calc exam, a human event paper, and other things and this week is no different. i can't wait for the summer when its care-free and simple.
3) facebook > livejournal. sorry for neglecting you, but i have a new love.
4) mock trial state was this last weekend. xavier basically won everything-- 1st place, 3rd place, scholarships, all state. i'm really really happy for the girls. but i have to admit, i'm jealous we never got that far. the competition was different this year than other years, but still its pretty bomb they did well.
5) sometimes i feel like a bad person for the things i do, say, and think. sometimes i feel like i live multiple lives. i don't know why. in high school, i used to feel a strain between my party friends and my academic friends. i imagined that in college it would be different, but the strain only feels more intense. also, i feel bad. sometimes i treat the people i love the most the worst. its wrong, i know. but its hard to change my ways.
anyways, overall- life is good, human event is gross.

this weekend just felt really good. everything about it felt so right.
spending like 172 hours in my dorm with kyle wasting time, being in tommy's backyard, having really hot adventures with liz, having my parents yell at me about stupid stuff, getting coffee plantation.
20 days til winter break. then phoenix will feel like home again.

my life here really isn't that bad. actually, i like sunshine & using the air conditioning in november. i like playing nintendo with kids on my floor, only stopping to take nicotine beach/hookah breaks. i like coffee with su. i like being a part of the young dems here (who are more or less my family). i like the human event with dalton.
we'll see. still applying to a few schools probably, but most likely i have too much pho-town love to leave.
my life will be pretty sweet, real soon:
tucson this weekend, disneyland with su & the barrack obama event the next weekend, just a regular weekend, then thanksgiving which means i finally get to see kyle ; )

updating from the library, because thats what the cool kids do.
basically, i have my first major exam in about an hour and a half. i'm really really scared, but at the same time, i know my shit. its political science 101. & if there's anything i know, its that.
i'm running off of 2 and a half hours of sleep right now...
today was the kick off event to the textbook campaign i'm running at asu. it turned out really really good. i was so angry that i had to leave...
and the reason why? human event. its amazing that the only class that i actually find somewhat of a challenge and somewhat interesting at asu is the class that i hate with a passion right now. i mean in addition to a 6-page paper, we have to read around 100 pages a night. i know i sound whiny and i'm sure you guys at other school are used to this amount of work. but i'm soooo ttiiiireeed.
i pretty much camped out at the library last night to study my poli sci. i left at like 3 am-ish because finally i realized that no one else was in the library except for a girl sleeping. and there would soon be two girls sleeping in there if i hadn't left.
i'm so excited for this weekend. stacey's uncle paul & the most amazing woman, patty, are getting married and i'm going with emily & megan up there to see the wedding.
there's been a lot of other stresses this week too, but its finally all resolved.
i'm just waiting. because in a few days, i can breathe again.
i'm sorry for anyone i've ditched, blown off, or just been a bitch to this week. but to be honest, this is the first time in my college career i've actually had to work every second. i blew a lot of stuff off when it was first assigned, and this was catch-up week.
that apology goes especially to nat and amy. i love you girls & if it weren't for you, i'd go crazzzy.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. exam time.

weird that i keep updating
but there's nothing else to do.
i'm sitting in a freezing cold lobby in the middle of maine.
only my family picks maine over mission.
eh my dad threatened to send me home, i agreed. but it was going to cost $895.
so i'm stuck.
the highlights of my day include: friend-confirmations on facebook, text messages, when i win a free itunes song on the bottle caps of pepsi.
the shitty parts of my day include: the one time i go out to the beach- a thunderstorm rolls in & the power goes out, family-fights, the god damn bugs.
the 30th is so far away.

DEAR JOHN ALLEN- WHO ARE YOU?
in case you guys aren't aware, but in the state of arizona, if you rape your wife, you will recieve a lesser punishment than if you rape a random stranger. in fact, raping your wife recieves the same punishment as littering, organizing a dog fight, stealing cable and not paying cigarette taxes. a bill is being reconsidered thursday to increase the punishment of spousal rape. john allen and three other committee members shot down this bill originally.
now, this would all be simple politics. but john allen's son is in model legislature. may i add, his son is the most disrespectful person i have ever met. but that's besides the point. on community bill review night, liz presented her bill, which is exactly like this bill. the purpose of community bill review is for the community to give feedback and pros/cons of each bill. sitting in the audience was john allen. if i can remember correctly, no one voted against this bill during the voting. futhermore, he didn't speak two words to liz about the bill.
representative warde nichols said on the topic (allen convinved him to vote no):
"When you enter into a marriage, you enter into a contract for all sorts of different things with your spouse,? including sex"
