Oh man. Tonight might be one of those nights that marks off your life from the before and the after. I went to UIC with Theresa and Sara D to go to a party with a bunch of Schaumburg people. Theresa helped me with the drink selection. I started off with rum and coke, followed by coke and vodka, a shot of vodka, and sunny D mixed with vodka...good stuff. I met some cool people too, but mostly I just hung out with sara D because she's never drank before either and we decided to be drinking buddies. I have to have a little follow-up discussion with theresa tomorrow. I never felt drunk at all...I felt exactly like myself. I could articulate my sentences and walk in a straight line. I did feel a little dizzy though, and at one point my nose was a little tingly. I wouldn't want to black out or anything, but if that's all that happens, what's the point? Hmm. I hope this doesn't become a bad habit. I just gotta remember: everything in moderation. I was kinda funny because Sara D and I went back to loyola to see a movie at the ghetto plex and we completely missed our stop so we had to go back and wait for the next train. The movie was awesome though. I don't get scared by movies, but the Grudge made me jump quite a few times. Oh yeah - the "party" got busted but it wasn't bad. The RA at UIC walked by and saw the alcohol. She was cool though and only made Brian, the kid who's room it was, pour it out...no one got written up. I guess if they do get written up they get handed over to chicago pd! wow. Well, I'm hoping I'll have a pleasant tomorrow morning...

So glad it's the weekend. I went to a student ambassador's meeting (which I got paid for - score!) and then went to creighton to hang out with sara d., her friend denny, and theresa. After dinner all of us plus rohin went to Halas and played ping pong and badmitton. Fun times. Sara P. returned to campus with Allison and Crystal, both friends from home. At that point, all of us decided to go down to Navy Pier to check out some haunted ghost ship, but we got there right when everything was closing, so we just walked around a bit. On the way, we found these hilarious paper condom-looking things that said random stuff like "the health department closed my legs." Hahaha. We headed back to campus, but Sara, Denny, and I went to Blockbuster to rent Night of the Living Dead (the original b&w version). That movie cost $2.11 to rent on VHS! Where's the 99cent favorites that we have back home? I didn't even get to finish the movie because of the stupid 2:00 am rule, but at least I have it for a week. I have to get up in six hours to do a 5K run with theresa. Later tomorrow night we might go to club PM for a bit and then head over to UIC for a party. Alcohol with definitely be involved. Hopefully no one does anything stupid. That's it for now... Hope all's well in michigan.

I am high on life right now. Yes! Kendall and I went to the Rambler Room at midnight for some very delicious chicken burritos. We got to discussing my film ideas. One of which is now on the road to actuality! Think Dodgeball, but not an underdog story. No, this is going to be a mockumentary on RACQUETBALL!!! Yes!! we're going to have a nerdy kid where r-ball is his life, yet he sucks; there'll be a fat kid, a token asian, and an obnoxious coach as well. Man, this will be an awesome project. I'm starving to express some creativity, and this will be the perfect chance. I gotta do some reading though...hopefully I'll be able to concentrate!

About two hours ago I was crazy. I had some coffee and I was definitely NOT myself...unless I have a hyperactive side, which I think most everyone will agree that I do not. Well, it kept me up for my italian homework. I have a quiz tomorrow. I still need to study. Tonight I saw Shrek 2 with Megan and Sara. Funny movie. My favorite character was Puss in Boots. This morning I was woken up by some construction guys walking around on the roof. I have no idea what they were doing! Matt got locked out of the room earlier, but the lock appears to be working now (crossing my fingers on that one). I called Katie tonight and she won't be able to make it this weekend. I was excited that I'd get to see her, but now it looks like that will be a while. That's okay. I'm falling behind anyways, and I need to catch up. Keith and I played some a fun version of ping-pong tonight...I'm helping him train for the 2008 olympics. As for myself, I'm the 1995 young national racquetball champion. Haha. I'm gonna look on ebay for a video camera. I have way too many good ideas for mockumentaries. Yes....hope I can find somthing cheap!

Tonight was the big performance. Speak Truth to Power. It went alright. I'll admit, however...we've had better practice run-throughs. One point during my long-ass monologue, I made a few "alterations." I said "The leeches dropped from the ground and sucked our trees..." and then I tried to cover up by saying "sucked our blood." Not too many people caught on, but it was funny. I wanted to laugh. I felt bad for Charlie because he had a long monologue and he completely lost his spot. It must've taking him a minute to find it. Imagine being on a stage for a full minute, silent, with everyone watching you! Ahh. Theresa brought the President's Ball to my attention. I guess in november my high school is having a dance - oops, did I say high school? I meant college! lol. It's supposed to be fun though. I don't know who I'll ask. Maybe I'll be a pimp for the night, as theresa suggested. On my way back from the library tonight I was thinking about "who I like," when it occurred to me, that I don't think I really like anyone right now. Is that a problem? There is one girl who I think is amazing, but I wouldn't want to push a friendship into something it's not...that already happened to me once and didn't turn out good at all.

I am exhausted, but I can't go to bed, not until Italian and English are done, and Italian's being a bitch. I went over to Theresa's room after dinner and got a lot of it done but still have a lot to go. It doesn't help that I got about 4 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. I was up late working on my honors paper, but at least it's done. Rahi read it and said she liked it, so hopefully that means something good. Things are starting to get a little personal with my newfound college friends. But at least I feel like I can trust them. Right now some girls are singing loudly out their window. I think it's time to get my homework on...

I must've taken four naps today, but I was tired. I drank two cups of coffee at dinner, so hopefully I'll be up for a while. Speak Truth to Power went well today. We practiced in the freezing cold, outside of Madonna Della Strada on the lake, but it was a good run-through. Tuesday is the real deal. I just got back from the gym and now I'm muching on cheese nips. I have one minute before I have to return to my honors paper which is due tomorrow. I'm still not done with reading Cicero, but right now he has to take a back seat.

My head hurts. Those damn bells have been ringing allllllll morning. I had another dream about being home and being really stressed/annoyed. My parents were really pissing me off. Plus, my mom was acting crazy...she was in cognito, wearing some wig. Nikki Hodges was over...she was doing homework and I was...eat icecream? I was spilling it all over, too. All these random people that I didn't know kept on walking into our house. But before that, I got the mail. This is second dream I've had about getting the mail at home. This time, my dad did a ghetto job at repairing the mailbox, but there was still a ton of mail inside, so I brought it all into the living room to sort through it. Ouch, my head hurts. I don't want to dream, especially dreams like that.

Damn it. I feel alienated. I need to listen to some lagwagon, but my stupid CD isn't playing. It's all stupid why I feel this way too. Sometimes, I gotta grow up. In better news, today I worked the open house check-in and I saw Leah and Mr. Kohley! It was so awesome to see some familiar faces in my new environment. I also got to hand out a prize during the welcome speech. The only thing that sucked is that I got my student ambassador sweatshirt and since they were running out of the smaller sizes, guys had to take large. It's not just like a regular large, but super large. I swim in that thing, But at least it's free. Ugh! I'm in a bad cycle that I need to get out. I need to catch up on my honors reading, and stay ahead of my homework. I can't fall into the same old high school routines of procrastinating and cramming. I need to learn here. Maybe I should've stayed in and did homework tonight, but I felt like I needed to get out. I can't stand to be in this room for long. And it's taking me a ridiculously long time to read Cicero. So I went to see The Forgotten at the Ghetto Plex with Sara d., sara p., and jessica. Not a bad movie, but not a great one either. On our way back, I saw a whole bunch of people I knew, which was kinda cool. Especially when Kendall and all her friends came up to me a little bit tipsy and introduced me to all their friends. I went back to Sara P's room and watched the best of Will Farrell. But it wasn't that great. And I was just sitting there pretty bored so I decided to leave early. Now I'm here. rambling a bunch of stupid shit that doesn't even matter. If I get through this week, I might just take kendall up on her offer...

Not bad for a friday night. I was going to go to a soup kitchen with my RA and whoever else from my floor...BUT when it was time to leave, I couldn't find him. So I stayed here, slept, and went to a friday afternoon yoga with megan. That was definitely a work out. It didn't feel like one, but I'll probably be soar in the morning. We all went to dinner at 6:00 and me and sara studied in jessica's room until theresa and keith came over..at that point it was useless. We just fooled around online, looking at funny videos and watching music videos. Lindsay Lohan is EXTREMELY hott in her video! Around 10:00, we headed to Midnight Madness, the pep rally for Loyola's basketball teams. The first 1,000 people got free t-shirts, so when they opened the doors it was crazy. I got a shirt though, so I'm happy. I even played "knockout" otherwise known to me and everyone back in muskegon as Lightening! We left around midnight. Theresa and Keith were gonna go look for "somewhere to drink." I guess I'm glad that they asked me if I wanted to come, but this weekend would just be bad for me to even be in a situation like that. Nevertheless, Sara was going and wanted me to be her "buddy" so she could leave when she wanted to (sara doesn't drink), and Keith reassured me that they weren't going to be staying late, so I went with them. As it turns out (no surprise here) they never found a party. At point, Tex went up to this apartment and knocked on the door. When the girl came out he asked "excuse, is anyone drinking here?" Haha. We all cracked up laughing. I seriously want a video camera to record drunk people moments. Anyways, since they didn't find anything, sara and I headed back to Creighton. We chilled in jessica's room. Later on, Theresa and Keith came back after not finding anything. We just chilled, reminiced on childhood cartoons, scary movies, and watched trailors for upcoming movies. White Noise looks really good. But if I hype it up, I know I'll be disappointed. At 1:58, Keith and I booked it out of jessica's room, down the elevator, and through the first story hallway so we could get out before 2:00am to avoid the stupid charges. We made it, and on our way back to simpson, I saw Kendall, so I chilled with her for a while. I came back to her room for a bit. Kendall's pretty cool. Her friend from UIC offered me a swig of his liquor, but Kendall told him that I don't drink. She said that I should drink with her and her posse because they won't pressure me to drink and they don't do stupid things when they are drunk. Then she offered me some Vodka and Red Bull. It tasted like cherry cough syrup, but at least it was drinkable. Maybe sometime when I don't have a busy weekend (tomorrow I have check-in for open house and I have a big honors paper to do) I'll take her up on her offer to "introduce me." She said she used to be like me, which is pretty cool. We'll see. I don't want to become a drunk, nor do I think I will be. Well, I better get some sleep.
