collegeI should just entitle this blog "My Annual Update" and be done with it, since I only add an entry once a year, it seems.
Well, here goes my list of things that have happened this past year:
- I completed my freshman year at the University of Georgia.
- I changed my major and then added a major; am now a Classics/ Elementary Education double major.
- I spent a semester in Air Force ROTC, merely on a whim, which involved:
6am PT workouts
uniforms
flag duty
paintball
marching in formation
inspection
gaining a tendency to add "Huah" randomly into conversation
flying a plane (no really... and it was frikkin awesome!)
- I spent a semester in Redcoats (UGA's Marching Band), which involved:
lots of wasted time (since I was in pit)
a uniform that was like an all-access-pass in the football stadium
airtime on national television
trips to Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Louisiana
performing in front of 92,000+ fans
using my improv skills to make up music for halftime when we were never given music for a song
learning how to live on zero sleep
-I become a part of PDTK (the UGA Drumline "fraternity"), which included lots of bonding experiences which are too numerous and innappropriate to write out. =oP
- I lived with my best friend and sis in a dorm [read: cell], which just proves how great of friends we are because we were able to deal with each other in such a small space.
- I started bellydancing classes with Sis and we both became pretty good and have decided to continue learning this ancient art next semester.
- I got a new horse named Luke, who is a 3yr old brown quarterhorse with a black mane and tail.
- My dad got a new job that lets him spend more time with us, we bought new land (25 acres), built a house on it, are almost moved out of our old house (we finish tomorrow), and are excited about living in such a calming and nature-y (I mean, we have our own forest! hehe) place that we can call our own.
- I still dont have a boyfriend. Damn it. *sighs* But not without trying to remedy it... I got some new experiences with rejection this year.
- I crashed my car over spring break; no one was hurt, but my car needs a new front end. Oops.
- I gained a new obsession (the Twilight series, by Stephanie Meyer) and became a new fan of a sport (Ice Dawg hockey!).
- I went to every UGA football game (except Vanderbuilt) for a year, including the 2008 Sugar Bowl, where I met some amazing people (Aloha to my Hawaiian drumline ppls!), got to party at Bourbon Street on New Years, and watched Georgia's defensive line pound Hawaii's quarterback into submission. Go Dawgs!
So there's an overview of my life for the past year... other experiences include having an awesome RA (a Croatian gangsta') who threw rave dance parties with German techno in his room for me and Kayla, dominating at the Auburn v Georgia BLACKOUT game, and roleplaying in a Roman Culture reaction game in which I (as Cicero) entirely rewrote history.
Hmmm... that's been my life. More news next year, yeah? Heh.
