Woot woot!
Okay, so, we had Initiation tonight! Yes! I was ranked fifth out of 30 in my pledge class, I was pleased with myself. My hard work during pledgeship paid off. Whew, it's over. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it though. It wasn't bad like you would expect at Fraternity Initiations. They didn't even yell at us. But yes, I am officially a Phi instead of a Phikeia (Phi Delta Theta pledge). Initiated into the Oklahoma Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta on Sunday, November 21, 2004, Bond Number 1956. Woot woot! After initiation, we all went out to Denny's, and Don, my Big Bro, bought be food. He's awesome, I lucked out when I got him for my Big. Now, I'm currently eating peanut butter on saltines and listening to music, because I'm so pumped that I can't sleep. Oh well. Only two classes tomorrow, and they're in the morning.

Carebears, Golden Grahams, and Super Mario Bros. (WTF?)
Yeah, ignore the title, I just put something random up there for no particular reason. Well, I guess it was for a reason, it's fun. Anywho, back on subject. I've been sick for a couple of weeks. So I went to the doctor. I'm brilliant. The lady over at Goddard gave me a prescription for some Amoxicillin (antibiotic) and I'm not even going to try to spell the other one, even while looking at the bottle, but it's basically really expensive Sudafed. Needless to say, I'm feeling a lot better. I still have this crappy sore throat, but it's bearable. I went to the OU choir concert tonight for my Understanding Music for Non-Majors class. I should have waited for the symphony concert on Monday. I was tired enough as it was, and then one of the first songs they sing is titled "A Welsh Lullaby." Go figure. Therefore, since I was dozing off during the entire concert, my notes suck, which means my concert report is going to suck. I'll just go ahead and go to the symphony concert on Monday too. It's free, so no worries. I'm really excited for this weekend. The classic Bedlam matchup. I'm still trying to figure out why College Gameday is going to go to Stillwater, but then again, I don't run the world, therefore it doesn't make sense. We've got a date party coming up soon. I have an idea of who I want to ask, but I better hurry, because our party is November 12th, and I might have to rent a tux (I sure do hope not). I forgot how to tie a tie, anyone want to refresh me?

Thanks Mom
I heart my mommy. I was so worried about telling her about my situation, but she's actually driving to Norman to come see me and be with me. She's awesome. I'm in a much better mood, my tears are tears of joy now. I'll update again soon. Current Mood: uplifted | | 3:52 pm |
Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. . . .
Okay, so, I dropped chemistry, and it put me at part-time student status. Well, in order to maintain my full time status, I was going to enroll in a mid-semester course. I was actually going to go to school 7 days a week. Well, I go to enroll in it, and the class is full. Which means that I'm a part time student. I don't know what to do. My adviser said that it was my only option. So, I've basically been crying for the past 10 minutes not knowing what to do, because I might lose all of my scholarships except for my tuition waiver from OU, because they said I could keep that. But I'm terrified of losing OTAG, it too a MASSIVE chunk out of my fees. I don't know what to do. Current Mood: crushed | | Sunday, October 24th, 2004 | | 6:31 pm |
Thanks be to God. . .
Okay, homecoming week is over. God bless America. I was so pissed off. We got first in house dec, but the Tri-Delts (stupid whores) got first in dance, skit, float, and second in house dec. So, they basically won homecoming, I forgot which fraternity they did it with. But, it was rigged, because the Tri-Delts had like 20 people on exec. Oh well. At least I get to sleep normally again. I went to bed last night at midnight and woke up at 3:30 this afternoon. That's 15 and a half hours for those of you that can't do math. Anyways, I've got a Phikeia test tonight at 8 that I haven't even studied for, so I'm going to sit next to Jordan because he studied and takes a cheat sheet. This should be interesting. I don't even know what the test is going to be about, probably more stuff about the fraternity that I'll never have to use again. I'm talking to a guy that I met on dance.net. He's gay, which doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that he's hitting on me. I'm about to block his ass. Or mine, hehe.

Homecoming is despicable
Wow, it's been a long time since I updated. Let me just start by saying that the Red River Shootout was awesome. I went down to Dallas Thursday night and got back Sunday afternoon. It was incredible. I actually drank that weekend, I was plastered, it was stupendous. Half a liter of Captain Morgan in 30 minutes. And THEN we went to Spaghetti Warehouse over on the West End where I dominated to say the least (salad, lasagna, 2 meatballs, Italian sausage, stole some Italian nachos from somebody, one of my pledge brothers didn't like his bruschetta so I ate that too, plus like 15 slices of that bread that they give you). Needless to say, I was feeling pretty good during OU/TX weekend. Moving on. I dropped chemistry. It was kicking my butt. So I dropped it. Simple as that, probably the best decision I've made since pledging a fraternity. This is homecoming week. It is really time consuming, tempers are running short, tensions are running high. Yesterday, I was over at the house working on the float from about 9:30 last night until 7:30 this morning. And then I came back to my dorm, fell asleep somewhere in there, slept through my Expo class, and woke up at about 3. And now I'm about to eat dinner and start the cycle all over again. It's driving me crazy, especially since I have a philosophy paper due tomorrow as well as a quiz.

yadda yadda yadda
Hey, I forgot to say something earlier. Friday night was Big Brother night over at the fraternity house, and I'm really happy with how that went. I got my first choice for Big Bro, which is awesome, and we spent the night partying literally until the dawn (I got back to the dorm at about 7 in the morning) but it was still alot of fun. And then I went to Penn Square with my parents. And then I came back and did all the stuff that I mentioned in my other post that I made today. And then now I'm waiting for South Park at 10 and then after that, I'm going to study some more for my philosophy quiz and midterm. Bleh.

bleh. . .
Well, my parents and I are buddies again. We've been arguing for quite sometime, they think I'm wasting my life up here, not getting stuff done, etc. The only thing I haven't done that I should do is clean up my side of the room, I think Cole's starting to get mad at me, so I'm about to start doing that. Massive pile of laundry. I should also be studying for my philosophy quiz and midterm. But I'm taking a break. Last night was a nice quiet night, I didn't feel like doing anything, so I just stayed in the dorm, ordered a pizza, read my books that I bought at Borders, listened to my new CD, watched The Brady Bunch, you know, the usual Caleb loner stuff. But it was nice, I needed a bread from everything. Anyways, I've got this massive pile of laundry sitting on the floor behind me that I need to try to get done before Cole gets back from A-town. So I've gots to go. Current Mood: mellowCurrent Music: "All Nite" - Janet Jackson | | Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004 | | 7:47 pm |
Ho hum, what a crappy day...
Wow, I haven't been back here in a LONG time, mainly because I've been so busy with school and fraternity stuff. I now know the Greek Alphabet (alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa lambda mu nu xi omicron pi rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psy omega =D). Fraternity parties are fun, especially when your sober like me, because you get to mess with people the next day who were so drunk that they don't even remember the night before. My favorite is when someone says "Man, I'm so hung-over" or something along the lines of that and I will say "Dude, you peed on yourself last night." HAHA, it's classic!! They go red and start defending themselves, it's always fun, I suggest everyone try it at least 72 times in their college careers. Let's see, what else.... As for today, it sucked monkey balls. Although I met the violin professor here (Felica Moye, I heart her) and she gave me information about auditions and scholarships for the OU Symphony, so many crappy things happened. For example, I found out that my worthless high school counselor can still ruin my life, because she didn't ever send in my official final transcript stating my date of graduation. And then i found out I lost a local scholarship, the GASF (people from A-town know what I'm talking about) because I was $500 over the limit for eligibility. And then, I completely forgot that I had a major essay (like 1/5 of my final grade) due for my expository writing class tomorrow, so I've been working on that quite a bit. Hopefully tomorrow will be awesome. | | 7:47 pm |

So much to do, so little time
Wow, I have to do laundry and study for two tests, and instead of doing that, I am making my first LiveJournal post. I am the king of procrastination. But if I don't get on the ball soon, I won't have any clothes left. Let me start by telling a little bit about myself. I am Caleb and I am a freshman at the University of Oklahoma. I am a Phi Delta Theta pledge, and it's a BLAST, but it's also a lot of work. Thank God we didn't make U-Sing this year, not having practice opened up a massive hole in my daily schedule. Now I have more time to think about studying and waste than to use wisely to my advantage so that I can come back to OU next year. Some more money for college would be nice. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. |
