Dizzy Yet?

today was satisfying but could have been potentially bad. i suppose it was even set up to be bad, but then it is amazing how God works isn't it? i arose this morning at 7:30 having only four hours of sleep the night before. i then went to my biology class where the only thing i comprehended for that 50 minutes was that my farts are made up of one carbon molecule and four hydrogen molecules (that's the component for methane). after that, i ate breakfast, bought my biology book (only two more books to go) and then went back to my room to take a nap. i felt weird for a greater portion of the day though. i had this strange pain in my chest that seemed to go all the way through from my sternum to my back bone. it felt like someone shoved a pole through my chest because i couldn't move any muscles in my torso without it bothering me. after giving that a few hours to fade i went to spanish, played ping-pong with the viking, and then went to my math class. that class seems to never end, and i wish i were doing something like mopping a floor instead of counting the number of times my professor says the letter x in a sentence. i guess that's a kind of math though. adding... but when that was over, it was go time, and i mean go time. my phone was pretty much ringing off the hook for the rest of the evening over RUSH. that's right, RUSH was today, and i'm in charge of that. so responsibility jousted me in the face and i had to make sure everything was accounted for and then get to cooking. at first, there was a feeling of impending doom as hurricane francis was weighing dark over the campus and the burgers fell apart on the gril. but this didn't stop me. oh no! i don't let simple things like rain or liquid meat phaze me at all! i squeezed out over 40 burgers and slammed the new firm patties down on the hot gril that went out after a few more minutes. clayton and matt were of great help as well. clayton got the grill re-started and matt helped me set everything up as well as driving me to the gas station so i could buy ice for the cooler. six o'clock rolled around and no one was showing up so i was certain that i had failed my first RUSH event and began to lower my head to the ground, but all of the sudden droves of hungry and curious young college students began to come in waves, eating burger after burger and talking to all of us. two ladies representing two different sororities also came, and we were able to saranade them to show off our lady skills to the probationary members. it was the most successful RUSH event i had ever witnessed, with one of the greatest outcomes. it didn't even rain, God be praised! tomorrow is a different story though, but i've got that worked out so far. after clean up, i got a shower and started studying for my music theory proficiency test tomorrow. that's going to be really rough, but i'm not worried about it. i get three chances, and i am improving rapidly, so i have confidence in myself. after studying i got my room all cleaned up again and played some games with the guys on the hall. now i'm sitting here listening to jazz, drinking hot earl grey, and eating cheeze and crackers. things couldn't be better. and tomorrow i will be waking up two hours early to study and start my day off right. well, i must go now. peace and love my pretties.
