MUCK FICHIGAN!!

as you all know, i happen to BLEED scarlet and gray.

go buckeyes!

well tonight is the night we've been waiting for my dears. its mirror lake jump. ACKK!!! i can't wait! i know it'll be so extremely cold, but its well worth it. its something everyone who goes to OSU should do at least once! theres only one part of the equation missing....which hopefully we will obtain by tonight. 

i've been whistling "We don't give a damn for the whole state of michigan" all day today. its rocked. heres a poem that a girl here wrote. inspirational.

Twas the night before Mirror Lake jump, when all throughout town,

All the Buckeyes were preparing, their spirits not down

The M’s were all blocked with red tape here and there

In order to forget that school way up there.

The frat boys were smashing beer cans on their heads

While thoughts of chill water filled them with dread

Away to the Lake they flew like a flash,

Tore through campus in order to make a splash.

The moon’s reflection on the lake, it shown

Was wrinkled and rippled as the crowd continued to grow

When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,

But half the student body and many cans of beer.

With a shout and a cheer, so lively and slurred,

I knew in a moment my thoughts were becoming blurred.

More rapid than eagles the alcohol hit me,

I jumped, and I swam, and the whole school was with me.

Now, we don’t give a damn for that state way up North!

We don’t give a damn for the Blue, of course!

Drive, drive on down the field! To the end zone we’ll fly!

With Miller and Boom, we never say die!

As dry leaves fall and are trampled to bits,

I hope drunken girls choose not to show their tits.

So out of lake in a hurry, I flew

Singing hail to the Buckeyes, and fuck you Blue!

And then, in a fury, I heard from behind,

The running and screaming of a friend of mine,

As I anticipated the shock, and my body hit the water

I couldn’t help but laugh and began to totter

Dressed in scarlet and gray, from my head to my feet

And excited and ready for the rest of Beat Michigan Week

I jumped again, embracing the cold

And looked quite happy, despite the dirt and mold

The students, how proud! Their songs, how strong!

Their voices together, their spirits were loud

Their cheers came together as one in a flash

Creating the perfect collegiate mash.

So the chattering begins in my teeth

As I realize all the grime hidden beneath

I climb out of the water and onto the grass

Realizing in the morning I would not make it to class

Cold and drunk, like all those around me

The sight before me was still astounding

With a towel and my friends, we head on home

To shower and hope all the germs don’t cause a syndrome

We sang about all the damns we don’t give

In a night that we all want to relive

And filled Ohio State with the hope of a win

Regardless of players like Joe Bauserman

I scurried on home, afraid of hypothermia

Ready to deal with the hangover tomorra’

But I heard from behind, as the Lake left my sight

“Happy Beat Michigan Week to all, and to all a good-night!”

"i await your response"

i just got this email....some people just make me wonder about the world.....

Hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Swansea, Wales and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it. The embassy is willing to help by letting me fly without my passport, I just have to pay for a ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately for me, I can't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but they need more time to come up with a new one. I was thinking of asking you to lend me some quick funds that I can give back as soon as I get in. I really need to be on the next available flight. Western Union transfer is the best option to send money to me. I can forward you details on how you can get the funds to me. You can reach me via email or the hotel's desk phone, the numbers are, +447031804805 or +447031804806. I await your response..... Elaine.

google+

months ago i sent a request to be apart of the google+ fad...when it was cool when only a few people could have one.

i totally forgot about it......untill the other day.

i got an email from google saying that i could now join...i was quite hesitant cause it didn't seem worth wild...and imagine this...ITS NOT.

i made it...and literally theres nothing to do.

worthless.

#mylifeissodifficult

today my "window" has opened to schedule classes for next quarter. YAY!
i don't know how the university determine who gets to schedule first or whatever....but I'm glad i finally get to.

some of my friends have either learning disabilities and got to schedule early october, and some got to schedule about 3 weeks ago if they are in honors. but no, boring little me did not get to schedule classes.

until now :)

unfortunately i didn't think of this about 2 hours ago when i left my dorm and now i don't have my stuff to remind me what i actually have to take....so i have 45 minutes to kill when i could have most of my classes scheduled already. boo. but HEY! plus side....one of the classes i have to take (Theory II) is already all full and have all been wait listed! yeah!!!

...

this weekend i went home, and had an awesome time...it was totally chill, i went shopping, and i hung out with my amazing friends :) but mostly i got to be with my family...which is the best. but....i feel like i could have prolonged my visit home even longer, considering ill be back for thanksgiving...which is about 2 weeks away?!!? whhhattt?!

41 days till christmas :D which is awesome...but also kinda sad...cause that means lent is starting.

let me explain.....some of you might not know, but i am indeed a very religious person and go to church and all that jazz....i happen to be Orthodox. and in our religion we have a few lenten seasons throughout the year...including nativity fast (the fast before christmas..obviously) its for 40 days which means....yepp it starts TOMARRAH! boo....

usually when one fasts in the orthodox church, we are asked to not eat meat or dairy and to be more aware of ourselves and so on....i'm really going to try my best...i mean there should be plenty of vegetarian options here...but don't worry....you'll be sure to know if i mess up haha

finally note....my wrist has been fine! up till about friday or saturday...cause i hadn't played in a day or maybe  a little bit more. which is quite unfortunate considering i really need to get decent at piano to test out of piano 1 so i can take piano 2 next quarter so i can be on track....

check it outt

home at last.

so i just got in not too long ago. I'm now sitting in my nice warm bed in my cold dark room...alone. i love my roommates and i especially love OSU, but theres really nothing like being home for the first time since you've been away. i mean, i feel like my room at ohio state in now myy room. it has all that i really need...and now when i come back to westlake, instead of thinking oh what have i forgotten there that i need to bring back to osu, but its what have i forgotten at my new home at Ohio State that i don't have here....

its a weird feeling...but I'm super excited to be back :)

mostly cause i feel like me mom needed me to be home. i guess the house just hasn't been the same with me gone (and I'm being completely serious here). my brother doesn't really call people to hang out that much...hes just content with being by himself. i on the other hand always had people over or was always talking about something...or what have you. its almost like the house is just...too quiet without me.

also, we just learned of some pretty tough news.

my dad went to the dentist the other week cause he had a weird bump or something in the gum by his tooth on his upper right jaw. the dentist thought it'd be nothing, but the sent in a biopsy for testing. they had to send it to two different guys, the first one didn't know what in the world it could be. the second doctor had to test it a few times before he was certain. turns out my dad has cancer. in his jaw. its called osteosarcoma. since this is all still so new to us, we're not too sure what this means. we don't know what stage it is, we don't know how serious this is....all we know is that yes he will have to go through chemotherapy and all that jazz. if you could keep him and our family in your prayers/thoughts that would be greatly appreciated.

lots of people keep asking me how I'm doing (in regards to this situation) and i really don't know what to say. i found out on tuesday, and at school...at first i took it really hard...but being away from it, I'm sad to say that i really just didn't want to think about it. so i didn't. i only thought about it when i brought it up to a few people and when we talked about it. the only time it really hit home of how serious this might be was when i was joking around with benji about how awesome this will be when he's all better and over with for whatever reason and he said "well i hope we can get to that point..." completely serious....


this is way too much to think about right now.

i just thought you all should know, in case my posts seem more dreary than normal.



lets end on a happy note.

its supposed to snow tomorrow. yay!!

okay  lets end on two happy notes....

this picture is absolutely stunning (in my opinion)

halloween...on a monday?!

i haven't posted in a while....SO SORRY!!!

so halloween is over yay! the weekend...seemed to be never ending. i mean, there were parties friday and saturday...but people were still partying hard sunday and monday. i mean, i saw someone dressed up for funzies around campus on monday and i was like "da frack is that person doing?!" then i realized....oh wait...ITS HALLOWEEN!

derp.

sooo benji started texting me again :)

and wanting to hang out :)

sooo...we have been :) and its awesome! mostly...i mean....

see....theres been a little bit of an issue lets say between benji and becca....and so now...they aren't talking. cause becca hates him. awesome.
grant it, benji was being himself when he upset her...very very persistent and kinda annoying....but she freaked out. so now she doesn't like being in the same room or party as him...

I'm giving her a week to chill da fuck out, and then I'm gonna say something.

i mean, iv obviously been upset that i haven't been able to see my best friend in weeks and now that were hanging out again, i don't want it to have to interfere with me and her being roommates!

grr x10000000000000000000

plus side: buckeyes won :)


so i have interesting news that some of you all might not know about...im somewhat interested in a boy. yes yes its super cute and fun.....why I'm talking him on here to you...i have no idea. so he's really cute, not too tall yet still taller than me, a smart ass most of the time, funny. but him being a smart ass also means that he's just an ass most of the time...which sucks. i mean i feel like theres something going on between us...as do other people, but they could be saying that just to say it....

anyway nothing has happened so far except for a few drunken meetings, i.e. he's drunk while I'm not...or i am while he's not.....

ill keep you all posted. right now I'm trying to just settle down about this whole thing and just try to be better friends with him i suppose...thats thing thing to do. right?
