Promulgating things.

Once again, life is swell. I've had an awesome week (except for a 76% on that calc quiz. But that's a B in the college world, so I'll take it).

After I got the band leadership decisions I went to the Corner to meet my ASB group for dinner and trivia night at Mellow Mushroom! What a ridiculous, awesome, and completely nerdy time. I highly recommend it. And it was nice just being with my group again. :)

This past weekend can be summed up in two words- promulgating brotherhood. I guess that needs some explanation though. "Promulgating brotherhood" comes from the 3rd purpose of KKPSi

"To stimulate campus leadership and promulgate an uncompromising respect for the college band through the medium of the college band for gracious conduct, good taste, and unswerving loyalty"

Don't ask me to explain what that means. I just know that there are 5 purposes and we have to memorize all of them, along with a bunch of other information. It's a crap load, and for the week leading up to a quiz (like this weekend), you can find all the MC's muttering it all to themselves. That purpose was on the quiz this Saturday, so we were particularly obsessed with promulgating.

Anyways. Back to my weekend. Lets see.

Friday: I spent my afternoon in the music office organizing band programs and right afterwards carpooled over to Charlottesville High School to help organize music (we have to complete a certain amount of service a semester). That was all good and well, but the real fun started afterwards. The MCs got together, ate pizza, and played awkward yet hilarious bonding games for about 3 hours. That split up, but several of us were still hungry, so we went to the Corner to eat dumplings. We then decided that we had to go out partying that night. So we did. Pretty much my first time at legit parties too. We started our evening in someones apartment, watching drunk people play Mario Kart (hilarious), migrated to a frat where someone we knew was playing in the band, and migrated further to a big party in a band house. Such a crazy night. I ended up being the responsible one and taking care of some of friends, which I didn't mind. It was definitely a good time.

Around 3 I got home and went to sleep, only to wake up and half to get to the KKPsi 5 year anniversary (at UVA) picnic, where I ate delicious chicken and played more bonding games for several hours. Then, once again, several of us decided to go to the baseball game, where we sat in the mud because it was crowded, enjoyed the sun, and studied for our quiz. Then back to the Corner for dinner, and onto our lesson! Apparently we weren't tired of one another, because we all went back to someone's suite to watch Pulp Fiction (ridiculous movie) until well past midnight.

The next morning consisted of lunch with the MCs and then 2nd degree, which was... strange. Wish I could elaborate more, but alas, it is a secret. :) And, oddly enough, we wanted to be together more. Some people went to do much needed homework, but 5 of us headed to someones suite to watch more movies (Up and Jurassic Park!), but it ended up just being us asking one another questions.

And then the weekend was over! It was full of mass amounts of bonding and becoming close as friends and it was just lovely lovely. I can't wait to have a repeat.

I'll be a brother on April 25th!!
