HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

TRICK OR TREAT!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Today is Halloween! Day started out same as usual, I'm excited for tonight to go to the Halloween Parade in the village.

I went to class, then went to set up for the O'Hare halloween party. Janiera brought in her baby, Lucas, today! He's soo cute! He was a warm fuzzy pumpkin, his costume was that soft fur the use to make stuffed animals! She let me hold him and I fell in love, I want to rent a baby for a day! lol

I'm dressing up as a referee tonight, it's a bit short for my liking, at least it's cute, and not as bad as it could be. It's sad to think I was looking for something not slutty and that's what I came out with...

Update:
The parade last night was pretty awesome, not as crazy as I had anticipted, although we were a bit more uptown from where the parade had started, 11th Street-ish. We took the 7PM Ram Van, then the subway to Christopher St, and walked over to 6th St. We walked around and it was super croweded, but eventually we found a decent place to stand and watch.

Sean was Scooby Doo, which at first I must admit was kind of dorky, but turned out to be that awesome old school costume that everyone loved. Everyone kept screaming out "Scooby Doo, where are you?" which was hilarious! It was as if we were with a celebrity - lol.

Eventually we hopped the fence and walking in the parade for a bit which was fun. After that we went to Cafe Wha which was cool. However on the way there I got lost, and had to find my way. I stopped and asked a cop how to get there, but he didn't know where the place was. Then out of nowhere this female office interrputs and says something to the effect of:

Cop: You should probably go home them
Me: But I have to go in the Bronx, and I don't want to take the subway alone. I got separated from my group and just want to find them.
Cop: Well you should go home then, well jsut don't go drinking then...
Me: Ok
**Cop is done with me, and shoos me away**

After a while, I finally get John on the phone, and after much confusion due to all of the noise static, I found my way there. :) We finally get in, the place is packed, and the seats are squished, but we sit and finally get to chill. The band comes out and starts to play, they were really good. Around 1:30 we finally left, and headed towards the subway. There was a huge line to get into the station. Not to mention it then took forever for the train to come. We decided we would take the train to 50th street and just walk to Lincoln Center due to the scarcity of the trains. ON the subway, these two drag-queens went to Sean and started to talk to them OMG baddd. We didn't end up getting to 50th Street from the W4 station until 2:30-ish and to Lincoln Center until 2:41ish. Luckily we had managed to get into the 3:00 AM ram van back to Fordham, however the entirety of our group did not.

Eventually we made it back to Fordham around 3:30 AM :)

This morning around 11 AM from Warner Music Group! I have an interview tomorrow at 5 PM with Jim Griffin and Max Smith. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow! :)

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY SUSAN!!!

I havent been feeling too hott today :-\ I went to my classes with a headache. I got my midterms back today, I didn't do as well as I would have liked, but hopefully I'll be able to bring my future grades up. While I was in forensics I got a random text from Amelia asking for my email, apparently Chris Hodge ("Steve's friend") wanted my email "re an internship" which turned out to be him looking for interns for his friend via me, and wanted girls specificially - lol. At first I thought it was a little sketch that he wanted me to ask my "girl friends" but it turned out he was using the football coach for guy recruits, and me for girls, and wanted to hire football players if he was going to hire boys.

After all my classes I went to get lunch, thinking it would make me feel better but not really... Then I attempted to take a nap but failed, and headed to work study. I left early, around 4:30 PM, and took a nap before my CBA student council meeting. I felt a little better once I and finished taking my nap, but felt a bit light headed going to the meeting. We got out around 6:15 and figured why not get dinner at the caf. I had a decent meal for once - lol, chicken catatorre, and ended up eating w/ Jenny which was nice.

Happy Birthday Rose!!!

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY ROSE!!!

Today was a super hectic day as we had to drive back to Fordham from Baltimore, MD.

We threw Rose a surprise party and man she was surprised! :) The look on her face was PRICELESS. She claims that shes hard to surprise and that nobody has done it before... well guess she can't say that anymore!

Today is my first midterm of the semester. Hopefully all goes well - need to go back to studying!

***EDIT***

The test wasn't too bad. It was actually a lot easier than I had anticipated it to be. I knew it was going to be open book, but I really only used my notes for one section. The "stretch" aka extra credit problems weren't even that bad. I think I did well, but only time, well Dr. Werner will tell!

RHA Retreat

The retreat this year wasn't as bad or corny as it had been in the past.

It all started at 9AM in LaLande Lounge in Martyrs for a breakfast with our RD Lindy, ARD Donte, and our RA liason Christina, and oh yeah the other boards and their RDs/RA Liaisons. There weren't any cheesy games, such as the one where you throw your shoe into a pile, grab one, and are then required to find the person who owns the shoe.

Next we left for the retreat, which was at the Tactonic Retreat House. The ride was long, and apparently we had gone to the retreat house. And on top of that the parkway the GPS said to take did not allow buses to go on it! After many many many hours longer than anticipated we finally made it there. They had cut out a lot of the bad ice breakers, which was good.

More later...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPO!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPO!!!

WE MISS YOU!!! <3

Lappy's Back!!

Lappy's good and ready to go! yay!!!

Andrei and I had spent hours for days this past week trying to figure out what was wrong w/ lappy. I decided to just take Lappy to IT, and they fixed it in <1 hr... wow! lol

First Day of Classes

Today was my first day of classes. So far so good, today I had Marketing Principles from 8:30AM - 9:45AM with Dr. Larry King, Forensics Science from 10:00AM - 11:15 with Professor Beer, and Principles of Management from 11:30AM - 12:45 PM with Professor Dobrow.

Marketing looks like it might be a lot of work, but it looks like fun. I got the book new and cheap from the teacher, it was only $100 opposed to $180 new/$128 used! :) I was afraid that I would miss the midterm for debate (only to find out the tournament was pushed back a week), so I told him, and he loved that I was a debater! Lets just hope he doesn't have too high of an expectation now.

Forensics Science seems like fun. I knew a lot more kids that I thought I would. However the only thing that bugged me was that he already started teaching and went through all of chapter 1 in < 1 class session. It won't be as fun as Forensics bio was in HS, but this will suffice, it sure beats the other science classes. Plus I was expecting a 2 hour lab every week, but there are only 4. :) Principles of Management also seems like it will be good. The teacher seems pretty chill, its prob cuz shes young. But she was mentioning how sweet her office was, and how the NFL kickoff show was outside their offices and they were planning to watch it.

After classes Ashley and I met up w/ Becky K to get lunch, and I bumped into Lisa and eventually Alana came. We chilled a bit, I'm so happy we're on good terms!

Today was also our first debate meeting, in which we had a demo round for the possible new novii! The round was a bit boring, but its probably just cuz I'm not in the right mindset. We also passed a new resolution to the constitution which allowed Reed to step up to VPI, leaving Member at Large open. I'm not quite sure if I want to run or not. Meg says I should, and I do do that type of stuff anyways... So i might just do it... we shall see. But this leads me to to think I should run for President of O'Hare.

We just had our first floor meeting a little while ago (9:30PM), it was what it was, enough said. I did finally get to talk talk to Danielle, who seems like a total sweetheart, and I got to meet Jen the other wellness RA, who also seems sweet! I was on the phone harrassing Torres yet again, and I helped Jen move a table and I got to talk talk to her a bit, so that was nice! :) I'm still in shock about Torres...

Club Fair

Today was the Fordham Club Fair. We got 3 pages of sign ups! Anddd a lot of them were girls, good looking girls according to the boys. Lets hope we got some good looking jr/sr boys ;)

I didn't do too much today, it was the first day of classes, but I have Wednesdays off, so my first day will be tomorrow. I dont really know if i want to do binders or notebooks, so I just have a small folder w/ paper in it! According to blackboard, I will probably have to buy books for only 2 classes and a financial calculator.

NSO - Academic Day

Today was pretty boring, and I spent most of the day sitting in McGinley waiting for the presentations to be over. Apparently Dean Rapictrolli's son now goes to Fordham. He had accidentally gone to Fordham Prep instead of the ballroom and was late for his own mom's speech - lol.

Then we had to sit in the gym for the rest of the day, and then put all the seats away, boy was that exhausting. I have never been through this much physical labor! At least I was able to get some t-shirts and a nso bag!

NSO - Student Life Day

Today was the 2nd day of orientation. Not much happened.


Our group was supposed to attend the "Night in NYC" program, however that turned into massive labor. We had to move all the bookbags for the freshman into the gym... and the freshman class is about 2000 kids... the biggest class ever. The bags were super heavy, we had to move them out of the OSLCD Office into the elevators, then to the gym... how intense is that?!? I had gotten all dressed up for the dance at that time, only to be drenched in my own sweat. Luckily I was able to take a shower before the dance. I was put in charge of getting the bags into the elevator and out the other end. Towards the end, I threw one of the bags out, and hit Sam right in the face! :-\

Tonight was the Freshman mixer, which was awesome! I had so much fun! As we were walking to the dance, we bumped into some of the other OL's and the big strong guy that was helping move the bags. Apparently Sam wasn't faking like we thought when he leaned back and said ouch - he had a dent on his face :-\ But the guys were impressed/thought it was funny that it was me who had thrown the bag outta the elevator and at his head - lol.

Nicole and I had gone to a group of freshman and started dancing w/ them in hopes taht they would join us... we were wrong. one of the girls had started to dance w/ us but the others wouldn't budge. Then tehy asked how old we were and were like oh.... so we sorta backed away, and OMG they closed their circle! :( While I had failed to get the freshmen to dance, at least I was able to get Connor to dance w/ me! :)

NSO - Move in Day

Today we moved in a little over 300 kids, I believe there are 320 in South, and we moved in all of but 10 of them! That's awesome!

It was awesome, cuz I really impressed my teammates and a lot of the parents. They were surprised with the amount of weight I could lift! :)

After that I was a tissue person, and handed out tissues to crying moms after the welcome mass when they had to leave. It was kind of sad, but funny at the same time. One of the parents took a pic of me cuz tehy thought it was so funny.

Tonight was the "NYC Street Fair." I guess it was more interactive than Casino night, however it wasnt that awesome. Day 2 tomorrow!

Last day of NSO Training

Today is finally the last day of training! We got out of training close to 2? Today was a lot more fun than the other days, there were no speakers, just directions as of what we are doing tomorrow. Looks like it won't be too bad, but I wont have much time to myself. The night social events should be fun though! :)

The family should be coming soon, w/ cellie!
