The past month of my life has been absolutely crazy. It's hard to describe the amount of work that has gone in to my days. I feel like it's all I do, and now, of course, as soon as I finally have time to write about what's been going on with me, I can't remember it all. But basically, my "pledge" process is over!! and the last little bit of it was the WORST. But I've been getting to spend a lot of time with my sisters and brothers and have been loving that part of the whole thing. <3 BITCHES AND RHOS. These past two weeks have been racked with bullshit and me, as well as most of the others, wanting to quit. But, through all of the stress I was experiencing, I did really well and I feel a lot better about the whole thing now. I got all (well, most of) my stuff done and I was actually proud of the thing we had to turn in. But that was over last night, and then it's for REAL over on Saturday when I'm a real sister. Crazy how fast this semester has flown by.
In other way, way, way exciting news. ELIZABETH AND BRITTON ARE MOVING HERE!!! Britton applied for a job here in Tempe and he got it!! Congrats to him on the job but mostly I'm excited for him and Elizabeth to be moving here. He actually comes in a couple weeks right before Thanksgiving, and Elizabeth comes in the beginning of January. I can't wait to have roommates. Carl will really appreciate them, and I won't have to be so stressed out about how busy I am. We're all growing up so fast. Now, if a couple more people would move here, including all the people from Morrissey, I won't have anything in Illinois.
Umm... what else? I sprained my ankle on Monday walking down some stairs at my friends apartment. I don't really know what happened, except that me falling was so loud that people came out of their apartments to see what the hell was going on. I didn't really think it would be that big of a deal. That night my big came over and helped me take care of Carl and take him outside, but I figured it would be better overnight. WRONG. When I woke up on Tuesday morning, my ankle was in so much pain that I crawled to the bathroom and out to the living room. Carol came and took me to the doctor. He gave me crutches (which are incredibly painful. It's hard to decide which is worse sometimes-- walking or crutching). It's getting better and better, but I had to call off work today because it's just not plausible for me to stand and walk around for eight hours. First time I've called off since I started working at Starbucks. Anyways...
School has been going okay. I just had a rough couple weeks with like a million things being due. But one a positive note, I read my screenplay pages in class and everyone said that they were really good. :). It's been harder and harder to find the motivation to go to class. I missed class on Tuesday because of my ankle and most of them on Monday because I had to finish a paper. And one yesterday because of my ankle and getting things done for my sorority stuff. Boo. I'm going to really buckle down these last couple weeks of the semester. I really need to get Geology to count so I don't have to take a science again. I signed up for classes yesterday... I didn't get all the ones I wanted, but I'm taking a class on documentaries and an ethics class and also a multimedia writing class. Should be fun, I hope.
I have just been going going going. I took today to just do nothing, but that also just stresses me out because my apartment is a mess because the dumpster is too far away to walk to on my ankle. And also I feel like every time I take a break, school just comes crashing on me. But things should calm down now since the "pledge" process is over. Yayy. And my parents come in a week from saturday. Super excited for that.
