Why am I awake again?
My sleep schedule is so screwed. I slept, like, fourteen hours last night and it's kind of messed me up for tonight.
Today I met some of the future! It is accepted students weekend, and we had an athletics thingy at the fitness center to meet with prospectives in our sports. I like this class, they're fun :) They asked great questions, they seem like a great group of kids, and the ones I spoke to seem like they'd be great fits in our program. I'm going running with our best prospective (as in fastest AND most likely to come) tomorrow morning, which should be a lot of fun.
I'm trying to decide what to do about housing next year. Two of my friends, a third girl, and I are living on a part of a hall. We have four rooms between the four of us, and we're dividing them among ourselves. Noelle has room 3 for sure, and Christine wanted room 1, so Leah and I are deciding between 2 and 4. And I have to decide by Tuesday night, and I have NO idea what I'm going to choose.
Room 2 is the largest of the four rooms. It has a western view of the pond behind the president's house. I'm a slob, so the more space I have, the less densely things are packed on my floor. It has TWO closets! I've never lived in a big room. The room could be good for entertaining/hosting track and cross-country parties.
However, room 2 is in the middle. It shares walls with room 3 and room 1. I don't know Noelle (room 3) at all, and I wouldn't want to irritate her when she is the one who let me, a total stranger, in on the arrangement. I don't own enough shit to fill two closets, and if I ran into any storage issues, Leah would let me store stuff in her room. Leah has never lived in a big room, either.
Room 4 is is the most secluded. It does not share a wall with anyone. It has a south-facing view of a tree that is really, really beautiful right now.
It is the smallest of the four rooms. The current owner complains of dumpster-noise in the morning, but it is not clear how early she hears dumpster noises (and I keep earlier hours than Leah) or whether there will be dumpster noises next year... the dorm currently houses a dining hall, but the dining hall will be closed down next year due to budget cuts.
And writing it out like that didn't help me out at all. Okay.
Really, I just wanted to make a post with my new icon :)

Hooray for your specs! The future seems awesome, but the present is pretty great too!
And you know what I think of that BAMF icon ;)
If we get a bunch of specs, the future will be AWESOME! I like the present a lot, too... but I think the specs will really enhance our group. There's nothing like getting POUNDED by a spec in the rain for an ego-check.
That I do ;)
Do you need any help with recruiting? Maybe a strapping young lad to help sway some opinions? HAHA
Also, pounded? I wish you had videotaped THAT ;)
I think a strapping young lad would be very persuasive to our prospectives, who fear never meeting men once they sign up for women's college. You're such an old fogie, though - do you even know any lads?
STFU, pounded is a legitimate running term! When did we start talking about video tapes?
FUNNY! I guess I sorta set myself up for that, but ouch. Cold. I can clean myself up and pretend to be less of a creepy old man if need be.
Oh I know, but this is all part of your corruption. We started just now. And I've officially cemented my creepster status, I think.
You totally set yourself up for that. You put it on a tee and I blasted it out of the park. Why live a lie?
Well, I guess that's another piece of my innocence I'll never get back. *moment of silence* Your creepster status was already well reputed, but the random video cameras reference is icing on the cake.
I almost said something self-incriminating, but I caught it.
Hmm, you strike me more like a leadoff, singles/doubles gap hitter and base-stealer type. I wouldn't live the lie, just help you guys recruit some fast ladies.
Yes, I am stealing this in bunches it seems. Eventually you'll learn to just accept it.
And now you've totally piqued my curiosity. Self-incrimination?! GO!
Mm, that's definitely true. I don't play tee ball, anyway!
Someday you'll have all of my innocence. And then I bet you'll drink it, and it will give you youth. I'm onto you!
*whines* It involves a certain religiously hypocritical ex. Do I have to? Can I just insinuate that he liked to think he was really kinky and then leave it to rest?
But what about wiffle ball? Wiffle ball is AWESOME!
Haha, dag it, you're figuring out my secret sinister plan. Hmmmm, I'll have to rethink this.
Um....you can leave it to rest...here. But we have some discussing to do on gchat. Like now :)
I think I got hit with a wiffle ball once, and it turned me off wiffle ball forever. Middle school gym class?
I'm onto you! You can't fool me!
Middle school was so long ago. Wiffle ball is a summer staple. We will fix this, don't worry.
Middle school wasn't that long ago... for me. And I don't have very good... dexterity... with the hand-eye coordination-y sports. There is a reason I chose to run. I SUCKED at everything else. (I almost told you I was bad at handling balls, but that would've been too easy.)
