you cant stop me, you can only hope to contain me!
it's been too long since i last posted. apologies to my apparently burgeoning audience! :) after a few days of no sleep and constant delerium, things are on the up and up. i somehow managed to complete all the term papers i had due, plus an extra one that i thought was due last tuesday but, in reality, is not due for another couple of days. chalk another one up to my retarded inner being. but hey, at least it's already done, that's one less paper i have to worry about this week, and i already have more than enough to satisfy the writer in me.
so, like i said, the last week was pretty rough (the first half at least) but things are peachy keen at the moment. we had our bi-annual cru picnic at the waters' farm, and i shot a gun for the very first time in my entire life. yes, i know it's amazing that i could come from ghetto long beach and never have shot a gun, but it's true! we shot skeet with at .20 guage shotgun, and i even hit some of them. fun times!
last night was just chillin. i went with mojo to raleigh and we hung out with some of his future slovakia peeps. i know, i'm going to argentina, but i might as well be on their project with all the people i know going. so we went to the olive garden with lynne (campbell), holden (meredith) and matt, ben and erica (all from state, and yes, that's my erica from gburg!). i think i ruined our olive garden experience cuz when the waitress started naming off the italian soups [in italian] that came with my meal, i told her i had no idea what she was saying, and she gave me this evil look, and she wasn't too friendly the rest of the night. i dunno, i didn't think i was being rude. how was i supposed to understand the italian?? anyway, after that we went to this christian coffeehouse in raleigh called the vineyard and got some hot chocolate (or caffeine for those like holden who couldn't make it through the night without it), and after that we went back to ben's apartment and chilled for a while, talking about random stuff. i really enjoyed last night cuz 1) i got to see erica, and that's always a good thing 2) i got to meet new people, and that too is a good thing, and 3) the whole night was just chillin. nothing frantic or active was going on, we just enjoyed each others' company. i haven't had a night like that in a while. just what i needed to start off finals week.
i suppose that's enough for now. the reading calls! pz out and God bless.
