The ER

is very slow. I took a friend of mine there last night and we sat around and did nothing from 9:30 PM to 2:00 AM. And after all that it turned out she just had a serious shin contusion, not even a broken leg. Anyway, the worst part was that the hospital only let one person go with the injured person so being a nice guy I volunteered (and to preempt any of you speculating about anything [especially you, mom] she's a good friend who has a boyfriend who's a friend of mine so I wasn't back there for any reason other than friendship). Meanwhile, my friend Alex and Charlotte's (the injured girl) friends Emma and Nikki (who are single) sat in the waiting room and did homework, chatted, Sporcled, and basically just hung out and had a good time while I stood in cold rooms or sat in tiny plastic chairs for hours on end keeping Charlotte company. What was my reward you might ask? While I was back there wheeling Charlotte around in her wheel chair, carrying her crutches, and generally being ignored, another of Charlottes friends came by and dropped of some In-N-Out. Alex, Emma and Nikki of course, being the great friends they are, promptly ate all of it leaving me and Charlotte some delicious paper bags. Eventually, I got home and had to do a bunch of homework and ended up going to sleep at 5:00 and waking up at 8:00 to help a friend in need with his Spanish essay and register for classes. I then skipped breakfast so I could make it to my Econ class on time and then accidentally slept through lunch and well into my chemistry lab, meaning I didn't eat anything from Wednesday dinner to Thursday dinner. And Alex's excuse for not saving me a single french fry: "You were gone for so long ... we kinda forgot about you."

In summary:
What I sacrificed:
- My Wednesday night
- Sleep
- Food
- Chatting up the ladies
- My lab grade
- Sporcle (don't underestimate the value of this one)

What I got:
- A stronger friendship with a girl I will probably rarely see after this year
- ...

Moral of the story: being a good Samaritan sucks.

Me and myself

and I

are having issues. Today my ROTC buddy brenda claimed to have been talking with her sorority sisters about "hot" ROTC guys. Apparently I am on that list and when brenda started describing me her sisters apparently recognized the description and unanimously agreed that I was in fact "hot".

this is an issue. because now i feel obligated to look good, otherwise i will be an even BIGGER disappointment. so wearing nice clothes, not sweating in the LA heat and wearing my brief case properly were all on my mind today as i wandered from class to class. this is really stressing me out, i know many of you will not understand (not to name names but weston), but it is an issue i needed to discuss.

in other news aside from my well deserved large ego include me going to a veterans bingo night to help old veterans play bingo. and apparently i just dont like lab write ups because i had this issue with AP chem and im having the same issue in my Physics lab. shit just aint fly, especially calculating all the error, which i did one calculation on my last report, out of 6.

and yes i turned that bad boy in

Games to look out for: [in order of my excitement :D]

1) Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjqsYzBrP-M

2) Mass Effect 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnEej1RfqTs

3) Battlefield 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA378g_gD1I&feature=relmfu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b77Z_50xpHE&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsHIHxYXeLs&feature=related

but really, Mass Effect and Skyrim are equal-one my character is saved and ready to save the universe, the other is a completely new adventure and character that will slay dragons and possibly cover the world in darkness.

and some cool music:

Spring ball has begun!

Basically we're starting over on defense with three new coaches and a whole new scheme so basically starting at square one again. But the new coaches seem a little more competant so it should be good in the long run. Still, practices three times a week for two hours on top of the five days a week of workouts... not the best in the middle of spring.

People and elevators...

I hate it when people crowd the elevators trying to get in while people are trying to get out. annoying. and stupid.
and to compound their stupidity: when on a floor above 1. idiots going down dont look at the lights indicating the direction the elevator is going on and get on the elevator going up as im trying to get out and i laugh as they travel the wrong way.

we had our DADT brief today. that put me to sleep. also fell asleep during physics. again, although my physics buddy was in the process of falling asleep as well when the teacher made a fun little joke about me.

Doing online HW

B. Mario, ti piace? Your new friend Mario likes some aspects of American culture, but not others. Read the list of the things he likes and doesn’t like, then decide what he would say based on his list.

Mi piace il fast food. Mi piace la musica rock, ma (but) non mi piace la musica country. Mi piace Lebron James. Non mi piace il cinema dell’orrore (horror).

My good friend Mario has lots to say about AMERICA! QUE FANTASTICO!

on the list of things he likes or doenst like, DAVE MATTHEWS was included. what a star.
also Shania Twain, im just going to assume he (or she) is a country singer...

My first Italian class

It's in a little shit classroom in the basement of HAINES. smells like piss and mold. also the class is full of weirdos.
the best part?

plan on asking my teacher: "Como se dice "(english word)" en italiano?"
