There's not much to say other than I've been busy with school and homework and other life things. Sorry.
Not much has happened via the roommates. There is one story, but I'll save that for the end.
Spring break has finally arrived, and I'm basically stuck in my apartment by myself for the week (not complaining, since I can basically do whatever I want and not have anyone judge me for my weirdness) while most of my friends/sisters are out in the world doing fun things. A big group of my sisters went to Panama City Beach (as is the norm for most college kids), so they're off acting like drunken whores for the next few days. I love them, though, so it's okay for me to say that...
Caisey took Christian with her to Pennsylvania for the week (sort of bitter about that), but I'm not too hung up about it (read "a little bit bitter, still").
I applied for a Conference Assistant position on campus for the summer, and my RA told me that she saw the list for my apartment building with my name on it, so I suppose I now have a job for the summer, which is definitely exciting, because I can take a class over the summer and not have to pay for on-campus housing for June and July! There's also a story concerning this, but I shall save that for later.
Anyway.
The last of March is slowly approaching, and April is beginning to make its way into the season. I for one am glad this semester is almost over. It's really been tough for me, as I've lately been questioning my path in life and my future and my choice of degree. My sorority is holding a masquerade ball next Friday night, and I'm hoping that will be a good time for everyone invited. As of the last meeting, the coordinator of the event expressed his disappointment in the "recruiting" methods of my sisters. It was unfair, really, since they started advertising this event at the beginning of February, and the even isn't until 30 March. To yell at us for not selling enough tickets by 12 March isn't fair, since just about no one on the planet knows what they are for sure doing two months from now. The only exception would be music students/band kids, since we all have a set schedule when we get to school. I asked a great many people about this event. I asked just about every person on my Facebook friend list (excluding my sisters), and 98% of them told me they had no idea what they would be doing in two months.
My point is it was unfair to be chastised for our advertising techniques and our low ticket sales when asking college students what they're doing in two months rarely, if ever, yields any kind of positive result.
Moving on.
The Spring Break Adventures, Part I.
It's Spring Break time, which means all my roommates are gone. I'm particularly glad Kris and Leslie have skeedaddled away from the apartment, because I'm getting mighty sick of hearing them whisper and complain about every single thing Caisey and I do wrong.
Lately, Leslie has been littering our living room and kitchen with dishes, clothes, writing instruments, and other various items that, in Kris' words, "Don't belong there." I wouldn't normally be so peeved about it, but every time Leslie does anything in the living room, she leaves at least a pen or pencil, a textbook, and an item of clothing/a purse. It got to the point where even I was bothered by it (that's saying something, because I've never had a problem with things being in the living room, as it's a shared space)! I finally broke down and asked Kris is Leslie had left (for break) already, because she had a lot of stuff in the living room, and blah blah blah, and Kris just brushed me off and said Leslie would clean it up before she left.
She didn't.
I ended up having to clean up the living room by myself after every one had gone on their respective break trips. Caisey had left a crap ton of junk in the room, and Leslie still had some clothes laying over a chair. I took Leslie's clothes and laid them upon her desk, since that was the agreed upon action to be taken with other people's things (during our all-out-roommate-war). I was nice about it, too. I made sure the hoodies were semi-folded and I straightened up the books/papers, and placed all the pens and pencils atop the books.
Caisey's stuff I just threw on her bed, since that what she'd done with the last of her stuff that she'd "cleaned" before she and Christian left for D.C. (they'd stopped in our nation's capital before moving on to her family's abode). If she gets angry with me over it, well, I'll deal with that when the time comes. I can handle her ire.
I also began cooking my own meals. It's pretty nice, actually. I usually go on Pinterest and find new recipes that I'd like to try. I really need to get a job, though: groceries are expensive. Today I ended up cooking for one of my sisters and a friend of mine, who in turn brought one of his friends. I rock at Hamburger Helper meals. No lie. There weren't any leftovers, either, which made me ecstatically happy. I may or may not have jumped up and down with glee for a minute or so... (side note: I burned my tongue while taste-testing the meal today. It hurts molto)
This post seems a bit random, no? Could be because I'm half delirious with exhaustion from the long day of hanging out with people, cooking, and attending the last basketball game of the season (men's basketball lost to MTSU--just gives me more reason to find MTSU and their stupid band obnoxious).
Sorry for this. I really am.
I really can't continue like this. I apologize. I'll try to write a more... acceptable post tomorrow.
