| Summertime, and the living is too easy...Sooo i'm back in Dallas. again. There's nothing going on, all my friends are either at summer camps or at their respective college-cities doing summerschool. Me, I'm just back at home, all of a sudden responsible for the five dogs that rule my house and having to clean out my room because my mom puts all her shit in it when I'm away at college. This summer, I really need to get a job, because I'm going to be in Europe all next year, and while I will be working there, I need money because the euro is so much higher than the US dollar. plans:(i reallly am not type a personality, i just fake it really well) Sometime before may 25 (when q moves out) go back to CS to play for a few days. Find a job Summerschool- Online: Tech Writing and/or US History @ Richland: Word Lit and Chemistry all i need is 8 hours and i can submit an audit to receive my FIGHTIN' TEXAS AGGIE RING!! WHO9P!! that's another thing i need money for... also, me and michelle are going to barcelona at the end of august before our schools start up. We've met marc, pascual, his brother, judit, eric, and many other catalonians who have assured us at least a place to stay. they're so awesome. so i'm definately going to need money for that, even though marc says that all we're going to do is get drunk and go to the beach every day. that is totally fine by me. i have wanted to taste sangria from Spain all my life. if you don't already know, I LOVE SANGRIA. (i usually settle for carlo rossi brand) (back to plans) go to france!!! get a job. spend time with friends. i really wish i could hang out more with my friends. i hung out with a new (strain/wave/subgroup) of friends towards the end of the semester, and i really enjoyed hanging out with them. i wish it could continue. well i think i'm going to go read. i've decided that i'm going to read soooo much this summer, because i always want to during school, but never have enough time. half price books, watch out!! johnnyg | | |
| mi semestreSo it's been a mighty long while since I wrote in this thing...
but i've been busy with class and all, on top of everything else, so i guess that's ok. despite what some of my older friends whom people oft mistake as my dad say.
let me share with you a lil bit of what the stew that is my semester contains:
Classes:
French 336- Contemporary France <-- learning about French culture (a cultured American... what?!) mostly as compared to ours, save some aspects of French society completely incomprable to ours which, obviously, aren't.
Russian 102- Beginners Russian 2 (every day)(AUDITING) <-- going to class, doing the work, not getting credit, but it's ok beacuse i'm learning at a relaxed yet not pace, unrestrained by the stressed of taking the course for credit. in my degree plan, 101 and 102 is a prerequisite, but it does not actually count as hours towards my major SO i can just learn the stuff and feel like im being extracurricular-but-not-really (because it actually is somewhere in my curriculum) while still being efficient in my schedule/life
Spanish 102 - Beginners Spanish 2 (also every day) <--- its challenging enough to where i am learning stuff but by no means hard
Kinesiology 198- Gymnastics<-- our final is a back handspring. enough said. nice donothing class.
Linguistics 310- History of the English Language <-- It tickles my linguistic fancy just enough to push me and cultivate educated thoughts without being overwhelming... we just started Old English today!! it is pretty much a different language. WHO9P for those.
Music 190 -Century Singers- <--We're doing Bach and (some other guy? i forget)'s Magnificat(s)
Music 251- Individual Performance- <--Sweet, she didn't freak out about my tongue ring (she actually only saw it for the first time yesterday and didn't flip out. Good news, and I'm starting to be very pleased with my vocal progress (not starting altogether, but starting on a different level; one might say that I'm "kicking it up a notch.") (BAM)
Political Science 206- American National Government-<-- Its exactly what I took at Jesuit, except this time I get multiple choices on the tests instead of essays (I got a 94 on the final which was 7 pages of essay; if I brush up on my government, I should be in good shape)
Clubs:
Fade 2 Black Dance Ensemble- I made the [inclusively]Hip-Hop dance team!!! Yay. hooray for 6 hours a week of hardcore cardio.
TAMU Gymnastics- Shooting for 4 or 5 hours a week of workout
Aggie Global Interaction- a[n originally] business organization which incites... global interaction. French people are cool. It's interesting to see the different cultures come together in one room in Wehner. It makes me happy.
Conversation Partners-I'm to meet with this physics grad student from Russia to palaver about whatever we wish pertaining to our respectable (double entente) cultures and practice his English.. hopefully there will be some reciprocated help on the latter (in Russian, mind you, although I might need a lil' lesson about auxillary verbs...)
Century Singers - (because it should count for more than 1 hour... and its something a choose to be in)(and i love them dearly)
aand yes.... i am quite fairly busy... yet i find time to hang out with mah peeps, go to parties where i go on a jello shot binge (or more exactly on 3 times a jello shot binge, according to the technical definition of "binge" as pertaining to alcohol), be friends with my friends (when they do answer tHEiR phone (-: ), hang in our AWESOME ROOM with (a) badass roommate(s), and EAT. i have been eating an awful lot this semester... but that's ok because at 10 hours of exercise a week, i need that extra nutrition to run my body. I have also been getting adequate sleep (note the difference between adequate and personally sufficient [3 hours], but i'll take what i can get)
i'm already happy with my grades, and to reward myself, i went to half price books yesterday and got 5 books for 2.71$ !! hooray for bargain books. i got a german verb book, a german dictionary, a marx for beginners book, a book 'rethinking middle east politics,' and a webster's pocket reference book (grammar, random things that are good to know). hooray.
and i'm getting my rips (literal rips in my hands that eventually lead to calluses) back on my hands!! hoorah.
i'm gonna go watch tv.... i havent said that in a long time. yay.
and then go to bed.
adios!

| fish camp.
AMAZING. you don't even know.
well if you're lucky, perhaps you do.
i just wanna thank all of the fish that make the fish camp experience so awesome. fc really makes me happy i ended up at aTm.
fish camp has also allowed me to only sleep for 9 hours. but oh well.
aaand too many amazing details to list here... if you experienced it you know what it is.
aaand gig 'em week. hooray! | | |
| soo last night dan didnt get in till 6 30. i was on the couch because dan was gonna be in his bed. after he got home i asked my mom to turn off the tv cuz i had to get stuff done today, but she was still watching it. at 6 45 in the fucking morning. come on, mother. that woman is losing all rationale these days. im actually leaving tomorrow, despite attempts to do so today. i went on errands trying to look for things for fishcamp, although all were in vain. it shouldn't be that hard to find green hair dye and green paisley bananas. but whatever.
im out. | | |
| so at this rate, I have one entry per month in the summer. Not too shabby. I'm currently sitting on the ground in my room going through what i want to take back to college and what I don't, carefully arranging the latter into piles that I can easily organize and tidy up in order to please the mother figure with their aestheticity in my absence. I was planning on leaving tomorrow, but im not sure how much i can clean up. I'm ready to get out, though. Packing stuff is trippy to your mind; you say you're going to cut down (I do, at least), but all these little things add up to a pile of shit that just happens to take up all the room in your (my, although we're still being hypothetical) car. Right now i have random clothes (I've packed up all my shirts but not pants) and music i need(/want) to pack up. I want to get to the bottom of it and fold up my bedding and just sleep in my brother's bed so i can get up and get errands (all fish camp-related) done. i am serious about leaving tomorrow. though i found out that my partner has a full house and will not be able to house me.... so i need to find a place to stay before i head off back to aggieland. I really do hope that i end up taking back less than i brough home last year. i really don't need extra shit that i'm not gonna use and don't need. it's 4h21 now so hopefully i can get to bed at 5, get 7 hours of sleep and finish everything i need to in order to leave tomorrow. even if i don't leave tomorrow, i want it to be possible at a moments notice so i don't have to stress about it later. stress now, relax later, i'd rather.
there is a beautiful, out of tune stand up piano in my room that takes up a lot of space.... but i dont wanna get rid of it. it's a family heirloom. my granpa taught my momma how to play on it, i learned how to play on it. much good things attatched to it... but i play my keyboard. i guess what i'm saying is
ahhh i just found my favorite tie from high schoool!!!!!
i'm not gonna lie. i miss wearing a blazer and oxford shirts and different color khakis and ties. oddly enough, most jesuit guys found a way to let personality come out in the myriads of combinations one might be able to make out of those.
but i'm definately gonna find a way to work ties back into my groove.
current dilemmas:
-there's a cd stuck in my computer and it won't eject
-i can only find 1 shoe of like 4 pairs of shoes
-my brother is still out and is gonna be back at 5 supposedly so i can't sleep in his bed... i have to finish mine (it's gonna take a while and its now 4h45)
- i have ADD (it's a more chronic than current dilemma)
-no matter how many times i do the laundry, i ALWAYS find more dirty clothes
i can't wait to leave.
i like the worst-case scenario survival handbook. it is the epitome of useless-but-if-i-ever--needed-to-know-it-i'd-be-SOL-no-more knowledge, which is pretty much kickass to possess.
it's that time to start winding down for the night (5 am)
god i hope i can get everything done tomorrow.
aand i'm out. peace out, people.
fish camp festivites start in about 50 hours!!!!!AHHHH I'M SO EXCITED
as much as one can be at 5am at least
i dont think i've used the am/pm system to reference time in about a year. you see, i'm on international time (military for those of you who know it to be so), cuz i'm just that hardcore about living 'la vie mondiale' (lit.= the worldly life. see: the back of my cellphone)
god im tired. fish camp is not going to help the cause. at all. | | |
