hi hi ... i know it has been a long time since i last blogged.

i suppose i should blog about my classes. i am taking two psychology classes, organic chemistry, physics, physics lab and texas government. i think my schedule is ok this semester. on mondays i start at 9 am and end at 2 pm. on wednesdays and fridays i start at 9 am and end at 11 am. on tuesdays and thursdays i start at 11 am and end at 5 pm but i have an hour and a half break between classes.

starting yesterday, i will have monday night meetings for pbk. last night we held a pajama party with ice cream sundaes to advertise the group. it turned out really well. we got a lot of new people but i have no idea where the old members went. if we could get both groups to show up, it would be a huge turn out. also, we have a new advisor this year and she wants to have one-on-one meetings with me on wednesdays at 1 pm starting september 10. i said that typically the advisor just attends the executive meetings with all the officers but she said that she wanted to just have a meeting with me so she knows what's going on so, now on wednesdays, i will have to go back to the apartment after my classes and then somehow force myself back to campus at 1 pm.

this weekend jordan's family came to visit. they wanted to come because his dad wanted to tailgate for the first football game. me and jordan both had tickets and tyler wanted to go to the game so basically, jordan's mom, dad and sister tailgated and we went to the game. we got a spare ticket for tyler off a scalper who was drunk and wanted us to pay $65 for the ticket. but, jordan said that he didn't have that much (which was a lie) and offered $30 for the ticket. the guy was really drunk and just let us have it for $30. we played florida atlantic ... i think. it was really hot and kind of boring because the other team sucked so bad. we ended up winning 52-10. when the game was over, we walked to where his parents were.

on the way to the tailgate area, i saw an old high school boyfriend. it was weird. i wouldn't have seen him except that he rode past me on his bike and then took a double take of me ... i wouldn't have noticed except his movements were really jerky. he looked very startled and unsettled. i don't know why ... i guess that's just the effect that i have on people. it looks like he's lost a LOT more hair.

jordan's dad saved me, jordan and tyler some burgers and sausages which were really yummy. after cleaning up, they realized that the suburban's battery ran out because they left something on. so, they got another tailgater to jump the battery. then we went back to the apartments. i went to my place to shower and then went to jordan's to play singstar. it was really fun.

on sunday i went to church with jordan. his mom came with us. it was a really good sermon and there was a missionary who came to give a talk about his work in hattie. after church, i had to meet up with tomoki and naoko who came to visit austin to see the campus. i took them all around ut and showed them the buildings, the classrooms, the gym, etc. they were really impressed that we had so much recreational things to do on campus. after, i took them to p. terry's for hamburgers. then they dropped me off at my apartments. it was really fun seeing them.

i hung around my apartment for like 15 minutes before jordan called to tell me that they wanted me to go over to his place to play singstar again. we played for a while and then went to steak and shake and then went downtown to watch nike's human race. at night, we ended up playing singstar again and jordan invited gideon over to play too. we played until around midnight and then went to take gideon back to the dorms ... we ended up driving around west campus shooting drunk people with the slingshot. then we got scared because people started recognizing us so we went to 6th street.

jordan's family left on monday and me and jordan went to the round rock outlets. i found two really cute skirts and two polo shirts at the gap for really cheap and jordan found a black thermal astros shirt.

i guess that was all we did this weekend.

today is the longest day i have had so far ... 

i went to campus at 8:00 am so that i could turn in a psychology assignment and then i had to wait until 11:00 am until my evolution class started ... during that time i did homework and got caught up with class notes and such. then i had class in which we discussed things that i learned in 7th grade. then at 12:30 pm i had to go to kinsolving dormitory to table for pbk honor sorority ... it was terrible. for the first 30 minutes i sat by myself and did homework while ignoring everyone who walked by. then the last 30 minutes i sat with the president of pbk and ignored people and felt guilty for doing so. then i had to go to chemistry until 3:30 pm. then i met jordan and went to his government class where his professor went on for a hour and a half about what democracy is and things to that sense. then we walked really fast across campus to our rock discussion ... now jordan is at his referee training thing while i am at kinsolving waiting for the first general meeting that we will hold for the semester ... i will not get home until 10:30 pm ... i miss my apartment. 

also, i got a nasty note from my landlord:

you do not wish to know how close i was to calling a towing company!!! let me find a car parked like this again ... it will cost them over $150.00 to get it out!!!

pat

nmco

i am not amused. let me just argue this because i am so pissed. first of all there "seems" to be a lot of parking at my apartments but most of the spaces are impossible to get into. there are only five possible spaces that a normal person could park in. there are only three people who i know of who have cars at the apartment ... i know there are probably more but i don't know. there shouldn't be a problem getting a space but there is this indian fraternity right next door who insists on parking in all the spots at night and i am NOT about to park on the street and walk home. i was parked out of the way and i was supposed to get a parking permit from nmco but they never got it to me. i've lived there at least 4 months and they still haven't gotten their shit together. i have been a really good tenant too ... i haven't complained about all the things wrong with my apartment that they should have had fixed ... but now i will ...

things that i need fixed:

- one light on ceiling fan is broken due to wiring problem

- smoke detector is broken ... not just out of batteries

- plug behind my desk is not wired right

i am sooo irritated. 

poop.
