Free Stuff

For all those not in college, or all those who simply havn't gone to a career fair, I'm just gonna say, holy crap free stuff.

Now I know that these career fairs are supposed to be... for people trying to get jobs, but hey I'm a little lowly freshmen without much of a resume. So I'm just here to get a feel for the place and...yes free stuff.

To the good part:
In the 2 days I went I now have...
8 shirts
a bunch of lights, comp lights, book lights, keychain lights
notepads...this one's leather too =O
a screwdriver 0.0.. with like 8 different screw heads
and a tape measure
and a pedometer!
and like 3 water bottles
and a lot more random trinkets

but really. 8 free shirts? I like never have to buy new clothes again
one of them was a legit american eagle shirt too haha

Anyways, more to the boring part:
I made it onto the FSAE team. This is a project team that builds a racecar every year for competition. A few interesting points:
The car goes 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds
The time commitment is 10 hours a week req. 20 on average, and 30-40 on rough weeks
And me and another freshmen have been assigned this dashboard console that they failed to implement in 2007...
im gonna die. yea? yea

oh what else have i been up to?
making pancakes with friends at 1 in the morning
hurting my leg so that it limped for 2 days
playing spider web
getting piano lessons for a total of 30 dollars a SEMESTER
learning to dance...i dont mean at parties =P haha

oh yea. that thing. hw . i do a lot of that actually
so much its annoying

i actually don't remember all that much but thats ok cause theres so much more to come =]

oh yea i finally for the first time in my life put decorations on my wall.
not that my parents dont let me. i just never felt a white wall as being bad

anyways i can never make these things as funny as veds so im content with this lackadasical status updates yup ^^

Orientation week + more

So its been about 10 days since i last posted... and alot of stuff has happened since then...

I've met a lot of good people and made some good friends I think, we'll see how they take the test of time.
I've done some cool stuff, like listen to great performances, watch some legit bboy performances, hear an amazing lecture on sleep, and heard some great comedians.

Got lots of free food to boot too.

One of the big things i've been doing is looking around for a church and fellowship. I'm still looking but i hope ill be able to find the right match for me soon.

Classes overall have been dull but the pace will probably speed up soon. I tend to get really drowsy and blank out for moments during class...so i should probably sleep soon actually haha.

Just remembered, we played this really intense game of monopoly. Shoutout to arvind if you read this =P. It was full of deals and immunities your cup of tea heh.

Its nice being able to go around and find your friends just there, call them up for lunch and enjoy time together. Wish you guys were here haha.

I guess the reason im posting tonight is because im once again faced with the continuous problem of certain temptations i fall into

partying and drinking, drinking and partying.
I'm sure you have your opinions, I ... know what mine are, and yet, I constantly have my doubts, from people i respect, from people I trust, from people of experience.

Why is it that beyond all reasoning, I trust myself to the end, above all else.
Why am I so stubborn?
When did I get so irrational?
