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!!

Counting Down Until Band Camp
I am very excited.
Yesterday at 6 the leadership list for the 2010 CMB season came out. To commemorate the event Sally and I were talking on g-chat and complaining about how the list was supposed to come out at 5. She already knew most of the information, so it was sort of just her waiting for me to find out.
I'm a DI. And I'm also a new employee at the band office.
AKSLDJAS:LKDJSA. BOTH POSITIONS I INTERVIEWED FOR. YES.
Out of the (roughly) 25 members of the mellophone section, 2 people are section leader, and 4 people are DIs. So I guess in the world of band hierarchy, DI is below section leader, which is below drum major. It's sort of a huge deal. :) I go early to band camp for leadership training and I get to yell at people for being wrong AND I get paid. Sweet deal.
There are about 10 or 15 people who work with the directors at the band office. Pease is the head director, Koch is the assistant director, and Idzior is... the assistant assistant director? Oddly enough, beside my name on the leadership list was "KOCH". I think I'm his personal assistant/secretary. I find this hilarious. Huzzah for more income!
My lovely Sally got section leader of the mellophones along with Shana Hoar (who is adorable and was section leader last year too). I'm so happy for her. :) She is wonderful and amazing and I'm going to be roommates with her next year!! We're going to totally run the horn section. All of the new leaders are my close friends, so band camp is literally going to be a nonstop party. I love it.
Love love love.
What I do not love is my calc test tonight. Ugh. Back to studying.

General Update
Don't be apathetic, Sarahtonin!
Well, actually, apathy is pretty normal for where you are, I feel. It's all just the general senioritis "existing is pointless right now" sort of mode. Don't go failing your classes now... Hopefully college acceptances will perk you up! I was already so determined on going to Wise, so my letters brought no enjoyment. Apathy continued until the final moment possible when I switched Wise to UVA, and suddenly the prospect of college became exciting. Best decision of my life. :) I heard UVA decisions are this Friday? Good luck! If they don't let you in, something is seriously wrong.
Soon your classes will wind down, soon they'll halt completely, and soon you'll be graduated! And I'll be there screaming! Can't wait. And if you have a graduation party I demand an invite.
Life for me is going pretty swell. I'm excited about a lot of things, which is a nice change from the constant sadness I was dealing with earlier. They say it takes half the time you were with someone to get over them, and if that's the case I still have over 4 months to go, but things are definitely easing up. There are college boys to concentrate on after all ;) Haha. Kidding. Sort of.
Anyways, life is good and exciting! KKPsi stuff continues. In the near future we have a retreat scheduled, and more degrees, and soon I'll be a real member! Then I can wear the letters and feel official. Woo hoo! Band leadership decisions come out this week as well. I tried out and interviewed for DI- drill instructor. Basically, I'd help assist people in the horn section with marching and work with other DI's to come up with dance routines and stuff. And word one the street is that I'll be happy with the decisions. Fingers crossed!
Band's got me excited in general. I'm practically counting down the days until band camp.
Class is also going swimmingly. My writing class may be at 8 AM (you're probably scoffing, but this is literally hell in college life), but I adore my group and discussion is always good. Plus, the teacher always uses my papers as the example of what "good" writing is. Score. Oceanography is my favorite class, and I'm doing well. Philosophy is whatever, but I'm still doing well. Calculus is calculus. I'm doomed to be an average student forever.
I'm going out with my ASB group tomorrow. :) We're going to Mellow Mushoom, a delicious pizza place that also hosts Wednesday night trivia! I'm expecting it to be a blast. I miss everyone like crazycakes.
In a month and a half I will be done with my first year of college. I do not know how to feel about this.

How Emily Learned How to Go Days Without Showering or Brushing Her Hair. Spring break 2010.
I wrote about 20 pages about this all in my journal and told countless stories to countless people. Lets see if I can do it again.
SPRING BREAK WAS AWEEEESOME AND YOU SHOULD DO ASB. DO IT DO IT DO IT.
Saturday:
We left Friday (Saturday?) at midnight! Woo hoo for driving all night! It was a very long drive, but different from all other car trips in that I never once pulled out my iPod to listen to. It never occurred to me. The people around were too fun to talk to. Sure it was crowded, and sure it was impossible to sleep, but it was fun. At every gas station it was mandatory that we had a dance party, so needless to say we looked ridiculous a lot. :) We got to the camp at around 5 on Saturday only to discover that it was on fire. Legit plumes of smoke erupting from orange flames. But it was okay apparently, because they were doing ecological burning. The people at the front told us not to worry, because, even though the fires did get out of hand, our tents would be safe. Uh...
We drive into the camp to our destination- STOP CAMP. Short Term Offenders Program. We were staying at an abandoned site for juvenile delinquents. No one had been there since 2007, so it was pretty run down. Our job for the week was to fix it up!
We were in the middle of the woods (that resembled a jungle). The sky had an eerie orange glow. The sun was blocked by smoke. Naturally we decided that we could only be one of 3 places. 1. We had actually traveled to Jupiter. 2. We went back in time to the Vietnam War. 3. Jurassic Park.
The tents got pitched and rooming was decided. I stayed with the 4 other girls (who weren't site leaders) in the giant tent that we immediately declared to be "The Brothel".
And then we went to dinner at a bar and I proceeded to sleep my first ever night in a tent.
Sunday:
Sunday was our free day! We started off our day with canoeing on the Loxahatchee river! We all had team names and were competitive and it was awesome. I knew the river had alligators, but I didn't know I'd get as close as we actually did. Eventually the mangroves got so narrow that we had to go single file, and as we were beginning to turn a bend, the canoe in front of us yells, "TURN AROUND. TURN AROUND NOW." There was a huge gator blocking the way, feet away from their canoe. ...What. It was crazy and it was chaotic, but we managed to all canoe backwards and out- but by that time the gator had already gone into the water. Even more terrifying.
Not 10 minutes after this, something happens and one of the canoes tips. Into the water of territorial gators. But it was alright. Just a very anxious 10 or so minutes while they untipped the canoe.
We got to shore and did some other beachy things, ate dinner, and went to bed,
Monday:
Our first day of work! Bright and early we meet RANGER TOM. FROM MANASSAS. Small world. He quit his IBM job there to come to Florida and be a ranger.
ALSO another girl on my trip went to Osbourn, as we discovered when we both wore gym shorts. Carly Hudson. She's currently a third year. Know her? She was a chorus kid.
Anyways, our work that day consisted of tearing out exotic plant species.
So far this trip was really testing my position as an environmentalist. First they're doing burnings, which, while I understand the science, cannot fully form a position on the matter. Second, Tom told us how the park was full of wild pigs which they went out to shoot every day because they weren't native. Third, we were pulling up plants because they weren't "the real" Florida. Tricky tricky.
We finished our sweaty work around 4 and Lee, a native of the area whose sister went to UVA, came to show us around. We watched the sunset from the beach. Nice. Then we grilled kabobs that took forever, but it was worth it.
Tuesday:
For work I opted to help paint the bathroom. We basically got incredibly high on the fumes and ended up singing loudly along to Abba songs. Good time. Then we went to a turtle rehabilitation center, which was nifty! They were huge. We went back to camp and had a giant campfire and smores with the local Americorp guy, Pete, who had been living on the camp for 2 years.
Wednesday:
More pulling up plants for work, though we also got to pull out an old rotting porch! It was quite empowering to take a crowbar to everything. Most fun day of work. We then went to the local education center and colored pictures at the kid's table, and Pete showed us some snakes. Our evening activity was watching the sunset from the lighthouse. I hate heights, so it wasn't very fun, but it was fun to see the dozens of manatees swim from the inlet to the ocean. :)
Thursday:
We had exceeded Tom's expectations. He literally had no more work for us to do, so he told us to clean up some areas again and then we'd be done. We finished up and all showered in preparation for the UVA family dinner in West Palm Beach! Also, there were a bunch of tornado watches and it started to torrential downpour, so Tom told us to move into the cabins on the campsite. We were all confused as to why we weren't in the cabins to begin with, but whatevs. The dinner was an hour away, but my God was it worth it. It was in a gated community, and it was legit a mansion. A MANSION. With large, wooden engraved doors, and paintings all over the walls, and a bartender who had every drink in the universe and could find you anywhere in the house and refill your drink. Waiters carrying trains of hor d'oeuvres that included mini pizzas made with goat cheese. I cannot imagine living that extravagantly. It was ridiculous. Dinner was delicious and conversation was good. It was definitely an experience. We were just lucky to be showered and wearing clean t-shirts. None of us were prepared for what we encountered. Wow.
Then we went to downtown Palm Beach to a restaurant/bar called B.B.Kings that had a live band. So of course the smelly group of college kids had to be crazy on the dance floor. :) But EVERYONE loved us. They all wanted to come dance in our circle!! One lady in particular danced with us each individually, telling us if we "had it".
"OH YEAH. YOU GOT IT."
That become the go-to phrase of the trip.
And it was still pouring when we left, so we embraced it. A couple of people even jumped in the fountain. Now we were smelly and soggy college kids.
Friday:
Since work was done we had another free day! First we went to a river education center, which was neat. It was done really well, plus it was feeding time so we enjoyed watching the fish eat. A week without phones and internet really allows you to find alternate forms of entertainment. Haha. Then we went to a wildlife education center, and I got to hold a giant cockroach and a snake. I fell in love with the snake. It was so sweet, and it's little tail would curl around your wrist. Aw. Then we went to a children's science museum and had way too much fun doing silly activities. There was also a wall of brain teasers none of us could figure out, but 5 year olds kept successfully doing. Embarrassing. Our night activity was a night walk at yet another wildlife center. Too bad it was still too wet to actually go on the trails, so they just showed us the animals they had in captivity. Owls and cougars and bears! The bears were docile and sweet and I just wanted to jump in with them. Then we had smores again.
Back at the campsite everyone came into the brothel cabin to tell stories and be emotional. I love my group.
Saturday:
We woke up at 5:30 and were on the road by 7. Back in Charlottesville by midnight. As soon as I got back I began having withdrawal. And also my roommate and her boyfriend were in the room. Welcome back to UVA...

ALMOST HERE.
SPRING BREAK IS ALMOST HERE. 2 more days. 2 more days.
Naturally, since there is a lovely break coming up, the week prior is required to suck. I guess I don't have TOO much to complain about. There isn't a set "midterm" time, so professors can do whatever they want. I ended up only having one midterm and one paper this week, along with tons of other random things to do. Unfortunately, I have tons of tests and things the week after spring break too. When the heck do I have time to study? I won't even have time to shower!
But I wrote myself out a detailed schedule on Monday and I've been sticking to it. My midterm is out of the way, and now I only have to concentrate on my paper. 6 pages on the Puritans and how they impacted foreign policy today. Gag me. But that's due Friday, so I have tons of time to do other important things- such as play tetris.
2 days until Florida. :) At 9 PM on Friday night my site leaders will pick us all up and we'll go to their apartment and have a party. The party will include a Planet Earth viewing and pajamas. I sort of cannot wait. Then we'll load up the cars and get some sleep, only to wake up and set out at 3 in the morning. Again, gag me. But we have to get to camp before the sun goes down so we can pitch our tents and such. Then my awesome, super, spectacular spring break in Jupiter Island will begin. :) We'll wake up early every day and work until around 3, and then we'll do some fun activities- such as hiking, kayaking, going to wildlife rehabilitation centers. AHH. I'm geeking out. Sadly, our camp is quite a ways away from the showering area... I am so not conditioned for this. I'm used to showering every morning. EVERY SINGLE MORNING.
Here goes expanding my horizons!
Life is good. :)
Now as for the Puritans and foreign policy...
