What's This Cold?

It finally got cold... wow. My right hand, especially, has been cold lately. I don't know why that is. Maybe my muscles are just TOO BIG FOR BLOOD CIRCULATION ;p But leave it to Belmont to turn off the heat on one of the coldest days of the year. I tell you what, Pembroke gets the shaft far too often. Oh, and get this, our water fountains are still broken, but Belmont decided to install new exit signs through the building even though the older ones still worked. I guess they just didn't look as cool. But the water fountain is still at the bottom of the list. That is why, if it is not fixed by the end of next week, I am going to order the part and fix it my self. I already got ahold of the manufacturers of the waterfountain, and it won't be too expensive.

Oh, new friend to introduce. Everyone meet Aaron Proffitt "A.P."



A.P. is the RA guy that lives right below me on second floor. I try not to make too much noise... but I still do (hehe). He plays bass in the band along with Matt on drums and me on guitar and vocals. I think we have a show scheduled for April Fool's day. (Is it posessive fool or plural fool?) He, like Matt, is one of the original second floor group from freshman year (only he's a senior... a senior that will do, as we call, a victory lap next year). He really didn't like that picture because he thinks it detracts from an intelligent impression but TOO BAD... I'm using it anyways. The picture was taken down at the front desk... because that's where I've been working for the past two hours.

I had my RA interview today for re-hiring next year (not counting my chickens before they hatch). As I told the guys today, I still lack one huge piece of the puzzle that would allow me to live off campus next year... a job. But in the interview I was asked why I wanted to return as an RA. I said "I know this is a bad analogy, but I'm going to use it anyways. It's like Shawshank Redemption where the guy was let out of prison. I've been in this metaphorical prison for so long, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I got out." Then one of the RDs said "...Well... that guy ended up hanging himself..." so I looked at them with a serious face and said "... I want you to think about that then..." It's a good thing they knew me and my sense of humor and knew that I was joking. They laughed about it, so I think I'll get re-hired.

Oh, I skipped a class this morning. I was too tired so I caught up on my sleep. I also managed to get to the airport to finalize my tickets to Arizona. Brain, I'm coming, so be ready.

The suprisingly best part of the day was math class. We had a sub fill in for our regular because she was out of town. But this sub was refreshing. She was good because she was synical. She new she was teaching us garbage, but she taught us anyways. That's what I needed. I needed to see that synical math learners can succeed. Now I have motivation to keep going. But not only that, she managed to teach in a manner that I understood. Yay!

Well... I'm out. Peace and love.
