Homecoming Hell is over!
Hot damn! Technically, I only have 33 hours left of my 320 to work for the semester! How cool is that? I can take a whole week off if I wanted too. I'm sure I'll end up working more than that, just out of boredom, and cuz I'm nice, but still. That's awesome. I don't have to worrk about working any more Fridays, and I can take a long weekend and go somewhere, if I wanted to!! Sko.
Homecoming is over!!!!
Waiting to hear from Justin to see if we're gonna "hang out" tonight, or possibly tomorrow. Nothing from David yet either, I bet he chickens out again and doesn't call me. I have his cell number, I should totally shock the hell out of him and call him. =) Katherine had a great idea, if he were actually using his cell over here (it's out of local range), if he should call, I should have Justin answer it. No, that'd be mean to Justin. And he might get the wrong idea.
I hung out with our interim assistant director of Student Life at the bonfire, and he was asking me all about why I came, blah blah. (he's an APSU alum, and a Pike alum too), and he was amazed at the fact that I came all this way to Austin Peay for grad school. I'm his new hero or something. So, a bunch of them were asking how I came over here knowing no one, and I told them, that I did know someone, a boyfriend, and then they wanted the whole story (this was a bunch of guys, college age and alumni age) and they were like "I can't believe that! He didn't do that right when you moved did he? What an ass! I'm so glad you showed him and stayed.. blah blah blah." It was really kind of neat, all these people were like "you're so awesome to have moved so far away like that and stuck it out" Then later Sean (the assistant director guy) comes up to me, or I guess it was this am at the parade line up, and says "remember that guy so and so that I was talking to last night about you being all the way from NC, well he came up to me later wanting to know more about you and wanting info, and I said 'Nope, leave me out of it, you're going to have to go talk to her yourself so if he does, that's who it is and that's all I know". Hm, they're coming out of the woodwork here all of a sudden. I got invited to some of the frat parties tonight too, but was like "eh, no, not by myself thank you very much"
So, I'm just being a bum here waiting on Justin to call. I need to go take a shower, cuz it was freakin' 85* & hotter than blazes today, and I have layers of sweat and grossness on me! It felt like August out there today, I should have had on shorts! Holy smokes. Poor band peoples!
Ok, well, I'm on a roll, so here's all the homecoming details. Friday I ended up having to go in at 11am.. oh fun! We had a Greek Step Off at noon, and other randomness through out the afternoon. Then, a 4 we had homecoming court practice for about an hour and a half, then GHOST (trick-or-treating for the kiddos) till about 7. I actually didn't have to end up being there for that, but I stayed cuz I didn't feel like driving back and forth. Justin called me at some point during that time and we chatted for a while while I took a break.. he said "man, that sucks that you have to work, tonight would be a nice night to chill out on the couch and watch movies" fooey. SO, then we headed to the bonfire, which was a disaster. They forgot to soak the wood, so I had to sprint over to our office (a good ways away) and get lighter fluid that we just happened to have from some cookout in August. It didn't burn well or big at all. Kinda sucky. I remember at App it heated the whole field the thing was so big! And, we wer eunder the bright field lights, so it was like it was daylight! What the hell? Then we milled around till time for the comedy show. OH, in between then, I had to sprint around campus a few other times, to find misplaced food for the comics and something else. I got my workout running all over the place. The comedians didn't start on time, and I wasn't too impressed with them. Too much foul language and stuff. Last year they were funnier. They were being asses too, they randomly asked for a DJ, and then one didn't give him a list of what and when to play, so he was making fun of the DJ for not knowing what was going on. The same host is hosting the step show tonight, and he was trying to start some trouble with one of the black frats.. some song that is not allowed to be played on campus anymore, cuz it's "their" song, and last time someone played it, another black frat tried to step to it and a big fight broke out. SO, this comedian that is hosting the step show was going to get an earfull from the assist VP of the university about what he could and couldn't say. I hope it ends up ok. The show sold out, 800 ish people, it could get ugly. THere are probably 100 police there. I'm glad I didn't have to work that one. I'd love to see them all step, but that's too many people if something does get started. It's a mess. Uh..
Today was the parade starting at 8:30 for line up. I was in charge of the court getting in their cars. A lot of the people were throwing beads, so I ended up with a TON of them around my neck, got pelted with candy. Ow! The Humane Society was in the parade too, with all sorts of dogs in costumes and stuff, it was so cute. There were 2 weiner dogs. Aww. That got done earlier than we thought, and then we had 2 hours off, so I came home and took a shower and relaxed for a while. Then, back in "nice" clothes to the tail gate and game. We had to pin flowers on the whole court and their escorts, line them up, make sure they made their pretty arc on the field, etc. It was neat. I knew who won before they announced it, so that was neat, to be able to watch her reaction. It was someone that works in our office, who is pretty decent. Then after that I had to go sit around and wait for the "family fiesta" to get started. It was all set up when I got over there, so we just sat around. It lasted entirely too long, if you ask me. The last hour went by sooooo sloooowly. But, now I've gotten a second wind, and if I dn't do something soon, I think I'll crash. But, I want to stay awake, so Justin can come up and hang out. fer de fer. Might have to wait until tomorrow. Oh well.
Ok, gonna take my 3rd shower of the day cuz I still feel gross. oh yeah, the football team actually won, 17-0!! I think they're 4-6 now. Poor things. That's what happens when you don't give fb scholarships!!
