Holy craaaaap has this been a busy few days. To sum up the weekend, I did indeed get to go home! Friday night was getting to go out to eat and do some Kohl's and Target shopping, and Saturday was yet more Kohl's shopping with some Kmart and Walmart stuff thrown in. Then I suddenly learned that my parents broke down and bought a new desktop computer a couple weeks ago! Of course, they ended up waiting till I came home to set up the computer, which was fine with me. That meant not only did I pretty much do it all, but I got first dibs on turning on our new 6 GB RAM and 1 terabyte hard drive space computer with a 20" monitor...amg. I had a small nerdgasm playing with it all that night.
Of course, it's now relatively small compared to the some 6 terabytes and 4 GB of RAM all on a 42" screen that Hot Canadian Bacon used when he had his multimedia business....wtf. But hey, someone to talk awesome gadgets with.
Then Monday I had a relatively busy day. I had a dentist appointment at 11am, followed by lunch at the Olive Garden with my parents, my uncle and my aunt. It was quite enjoyable, even though I wasn't very talkative compared to other times. After lunch we then made an impromptu stop at the eye doctor's so that they could take a look at my frames. I know one frame is slightly thicker than the other, but I didn't remember it sticking out past the frame just a little bit...also, the cracks on the side weren't a good sign. I gave the guy my glasses and he said that they were just stress cracks, but that they'd like to see the lens replaced. All I can hope is that it's still under warranty, because then it'd be no problem.
Good news from Monday was that I got my costume in! So now that I have it, I can contemplate getting a petticoat skirt and a pair of shoes for it....but I'm not sure. I was also surprisingly productive since I didn't have class and a crapton of homework to do.
Then there was today. Had a quiz in my French class, which went pretty well considering I was prepared for it. Plus the crazy Moroccan professor (who officially has no problems with pointing out he's Arab and makes racist jokes) didn't critique me on my pronunciation today, even though he had me read out loud the most difficult of the new French words...at least in my opinion they were. And I'm one of the more experienced in the class. :P
Afterward I went to the Honors lounge to put up our Soda: 50 cents sign. No biggie. Then I chilled at the lounge with Jordan, basically taking advantage of my nothingness time. Went to my 11am class after that, but I feel like shit at the moment because I had borrowed Jordan's pair of earbuds for the class, and forgot it in the classroom. Fuck me..... :/
Then it was on to XDIS. Ohhh XDIS, how horribly we hate you....according to Jordan, they can't even find professors willing to teach the class, now. And for having an annotated bibliography and memo due on the same day, it's a pain in the ass. We also have to do consultation appointments with a "writing fellow" aka the freshmen English professor grading our individual assignments, and a research librarian. A librarian who no one can get ahold of, and when we try to come and see him when he's working, he's nowhere to be found. Ugh. The professors were smart at least and postponed it for next week Friday for them to be due, but my consultation with the English prof is tomorrow, and all I've gotten done is finding sources. Fuck me twice....
Psych of Sex was all right, though. It was a rather depressing topic, with a little bit of contraception followed by overpopulation. The cool part was that one of my residents sat in on my class. Aggie had to do it for her First Year Experience deal, where she had to sit in on a 300 or 400-level class, and what do you know, I have two....XDIS and Psych of Sex. Which one is the more appealing of the two? Oh yes....I just hope that the topic didn't deter her from considering the class later, because there are good days and there are bad days in the class...meh.
After that was Yote Floats at the MUC. Yussssss! Now the day was finally getting interesting. I got my float and hung out with Skye and Andrew, got to ask Kristi and Lindsay about online room change requests (ohhh we'll get to that later), and pretty much had an awesome time. Once I was done and contemplated going back to the dorms, here comes Hot Canadian Bacon walking by. So with my questions answered, I ran over and started walking with him wherever he was going. I had nothing to do for the next half hour anyway, might as well make it useful. So I walked across campus with him from the MUC to Slagle Hall to go search for the laminating center. Ahhh, so carefully hidden in the basement....how entertaining. I kept running into Jordan though, so while HCB went into the laminating center the two of us stood in the hallway and chatted it up.
HCB was finally done with some ten minutes to spare before my 4pm meeting, so he ended up walking back to the MUC with me. That was when we had our multimedia conversation. It's always entertaining in some way or another when talking with him, though.....he also has no problems sharing his weight. Such as the fact that his gluten intake was wayyy too high this past week, which throws the whole weight thing out of whack.... Yet he's so very self-conscious of his image that it's almost ridiculous. What is this I don't even..... D:
But anyways. Went to my 4pm meeting with Jeff and some fellow CAs for our selection and recruitment stuff, conveniently and adorably called CARS. We got about 5 or 10 minutes of work done in what was a 40 minute meeting, which was quite hilarious. The majority of that time was spent talking about Gatorade athletes and pancakes. LOTS of pancakes.
After that was some sporadic work done, dinner with Kacee and Rachel and friend, and a little bit of hanging at the front desk. Next was Glee, then a little bit more productive work time aka putting up posters, then it was back to the front desk to bother meh co-CA about programming stuff. I made sure to thank him for helping out with it all because I hate it with a passion...he doesn't like it too much either, but I made sure to thank him extra. :P
I would've totally made it back up there earlier if it hadn't been for constant distractions. Then at about 11 my resident Rachel came down asking for some assistance....aka backup. Her and her roommate haven't been getting along for the past few weeks, and Rachel's put in a room change request, but she did it the online way...meaning not only does Kristi NOT have it so she could get it done ASAP, but no one has approved online requests up until about a week ago. They're just now starting on that shit. And what happens? Twice in a week I've had Rachel coming to me because she's scared of what her roommate might do. And yes, Anna is a very angry one....sometimes I wonder if she's capable of throwing things, but I wouldn't put it past her. So finally I had to listen to both sides individually tonight, along with a good chunk of time putting them in the same room and have them talk it out between each other. Hey, don't shoot the mediator.
Basically, best choice I had was to email Lindsay and ask what I could do and/or if they could expedite this like NOW. Problem was, I'd no idea if it'd even be worth the time. Then was HCB gonna be any help? Of course not. For one thing, Rachel was standing right next to him at the entrance to Beede because she was going to spend the night with a couple friends--I refused to be the bitchy one to say "Hey, could I ask about a room change request Lindsay's got, can I get her to do it like now?" when Rachel's right there. However, the "Hey, I need to talk to you in your office right now" didn't work either, which pissed me off a little more than it should've. Thank gawd I had his cell number so I could text it, but I was getting seriously frustrated...
I took my anger out by listening to Cee Lo Green, though. Of course, HCB absolutely loves 'Fuck You', and I'm using the song against him to release some stress....how ironic.
Then to top it off, I have to call the attorney general tomorrow after French class. Now, my phone's gotten strange phonecalls as it is for a guy Jon Schlagel (which is eerily pronounced like Slagle). I just ignore any of the numbers I don't recognize and/or don't have the South Dakota area code, but these were coming pretty regularly. Googled the numbers, and it turned out that five of them were known numbers of a fraudulent debt collection company. What was on the news just Sunday night when I was home and actually there to watch the news? A story on fraud debt collectors using scare tactics. They also conveniently provided a phone number and link on contacting the attorney general so that we could make them stop calling. Even though the link wasn't much help because I couldn't quite pin what my problem was on the site, I'm just going to call tomorrow and see what they could do to help. I also have three other numbers who never left voicemails and are possible spam calls, so we'll see if they can take care of that too.
I wonder if I should even bother trying to dash out an annotated bibliography for tomorrow's little XDIS chat....nahhh.
I'm also hoping that there's soccer tomorrow. I could use the wind-down time. :P

Evolution of Soccer
I never appreciated soccer growing up, because it was always the youngsters who were (and still are) recruited the most for summer soccer teams. I was one of the few who didn't want to be on a kiddie soccer team.
I then learned to appreciate soccer from international teams. I particularly like Brazil and Portugal on the world scene, but Manchester United's pretty good, too. I also have a poster of Cristiano Ronaldo in my dorm room. But I'm never going to choose the US over another team....meh, just don't see them as a threat to be reckoned with when it comes to soccer.
I think I may go to soccer games more often, now. :P
I have other shots, but they're much angrier, lol.

Karma's a Bitch...Or Is That Me? :P
It's official, Hot Canadian Bacon went drinking last night. He also thought he went to McDonald's for food, but he couldn't remember that part when I saw him earlier this morning. Combining the alcohol with greasy extra doses of gluten, and he felt like shit the entire day. He looked fine by the nighttime, mostly because the hangover part had subsided, but his stomach was hell. But considering I was in the basement and could hear him talking at the front desk, which is pretty damn loud, I think he's fine.
Also considering the shit pulled last night, I didn't feel too bad when I talked extra loud for him while walking to class. He most definitely had the sensitivity to light and sound deal going. All he had to do was walk out of the dorms to the front desk and it was instantly "Owww bright lights..." :P
For some reason, sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't give him so much crap....then I remember that being excessively nice is just as annoying as being, well, excessively annoying, so I'm trying to maintain that balance. Be nice one night and put everyone's schedules on Excel sheets, make his hangover feel like hell the next. Makes it a lot less obvious that I find him ridiculously hotttt......grawr.
In other news, one of my residents wants to sit in on one of my 300 level classes for her FYE class. Hmmm, have her witness the shitty XDIS class, or have her witness porn in Psych of Sex. If she joined in on XDIS, she'd certainly make the class a whole lot more interesting! As for Psych of Sex, I think she'd do just fine handling the class. And most all of the videos are voluntary, so she doesn't have to watch anything she doesn't want to watch. But hey, now I can say I hung out/studied with one of my residents this week! :D
The other highlight of the day was hanging out with a ton of my fellow high school friends. It was pretty damn awesome! Primarily because it was two or three hours of hanging out with Libby, Greg and Jake from SDSU, who we rarely get to see because USD & SDSU is two hours apart. Libby wants to transfer down here so badly, it's...well, awesome. They're quality people overall! And while SDSU has it's finer points, it's just not the same if someone doesn't click with the campus. And USD has done a fantastic job with the clicking. But I wouldn't be so quick to give the credit to student services.....the sheer fact that student services wants us to make an effort is big in itself. I'm still frustrated by their insistence on us spending every moment of our lives with residents, but that's cool. :/
There's lots of whispering going around. With Dillon, with Teresa, with Michelle, always with Matt....dayum. And I never get in on this gossip. Partially voluntary, partially involuntary. Hmmm.

Payday, or Gossip? Gahhh!
This has been a Twilight Zone night. I swear. From midnight to 1:30, it has been dead at the front desk. The most entertainment for me was watching Glee, which was actually kind of depressing. Get done with that, and I start working on French homework. I did have to call in a noise complaint because a couple girls said that they could hear someone's bass from second floor, so I had to call the CAs on duty to go check it out.
1:30 rolls around, and who's standing at the little window looking out from Beede? Hot Canadian Bacon. Both him and Chris had come out from his apartment, so I'm assuming they had some time off tonight. Which I'm not going to lie, HCB really needed some time away from school and work.
Speaking of that noise complaint, when Brookney and Jessie went up to investigate 2nd floor, there was no noise whatsoever. Can't pinpoint it at all, go back to first floor, and guess who it was really coming from....HCB's apartment. WTF?
Then after HCB came out of his apartment, he was standing by the pop machines chatting it up with some kids. Of course, I couldn't see who they were, but I knew when not only Brookney and Jessie left Beede, but Kacee and Sarah were also in on the social hour.....well that was weird.
And in an even stranger twist of events, when Chris left HCB's apartment, who was following behind him trying to hide? Michelle. Which meant that either she went out drinking tonight, orrrr....hmm. She was doing pretty good at nonchalant when she came back in though, so I'll have to see what I can get out of Sarah when they get back from their smoking break. >.>
Aha, she did indeed go out drinking. :P
Just to add to the messed up night, I was looking at pictures from my high school variety show rehearsals. Holy crap, they had some 10 teachers having a sword fight on the stage for a skit, the pictures alone were absolutely awesome!
Holy crap, will there be questions tomorrow, lol.

Heh
It didn't dawn on me until this morning. My supplier of Mexican Coke is the Canadian. Borders anyone? :3
I'm now debating about watching some soccer this afternoon before going to lab. Hmmm.
I'm now debating about watching some soccer this afternoon before going to lab. Hmmm.
Venting is Goooooood....
You know, I thought I'd start off with saying that I'm not usually one to complain, but I think I probably do. A lot more than I would admit to. But there is a couple things I want to get off my chest.
It's sad to admit, but at this time, I'm pretty sure everyone hates their job. I know I hate some parts of being a CA, I know many others are feeling stressed by it in some aspect or another, and Hot Canadian Bacon is so stressed to the max that people are rumoring that he's quitting. Which I know for a fact isn't true, because he can't afford it and has nowhere to go basically. Strange/harsh to put it that way, but it's true in a sense. The dorms are the hall directors' homes, and if they want or need a night off, it's nonexistent. Seriously. And I'm not going to lie, but in my opinion, HCB's got the shitty job of trying to juggle shit programming while managing graduate classes, tests, etc etc...and since he's in the graduate business program, it's double the pain. He's got to get either a B or higher in every class or he's out. Arguably, it's just as difficult as law school, if not more difficult. But what do I hear from Kristi about? How hard it is to last through two three-hour classes in a row. Yeah, it's annoying, but let's see you handle HCB's schedule. It's becoming apparent that grad school for adult and higher education isn't nearly as difficult as the business school is turning out to be. Oh yeah, you're also supervising desk work. Easiest job in the world to manage, considering how she doesn't spend half the time that HCB does out here at the desk.
Speaking of which, I turned in an effing time away request Monday night. It's now Wednesday morning, and I've yet to have her sign it. Where the hell was Kristi all of today that she couldn't check her mailbox and sign a tiny piece of paper?! >:/ If you're not going to check your mail regularly, don't give us crap about not getting posters up in a timely fashion...grawr.
My main qualm is the fact that the higher-ups, aka the directors of Student Services just don't know how crazy our schedules are as students as it is. I can gladly show them just how effin' busy my schedule is. I'm just about to believe that my schedule has finally settled down, and BAM we're informed by Kristi that they want us to have weekly dinners with our residents. BULLSHIT. I'm seriously getting sick of the emphasis on having a 'relationship' with our residents, when what they really want is for us to be every resident's best friend. As of now, I've done a pretty effective job of nearly cutting off all my friends from last year, save for when I spontaneously run into them somewhere. I just don't have the time to plan a date with my own friends, much less my residents. Let me put it this way.....
Honors Association is just as shitty as ever. I'm starting to believe no one has even considered tunnel tours this year, which has always been a moneymaker for us. Where's fundraising planning all this? Oh wait, it's not them, right now it's me that's brought up tunnel tours, and reminding them of exec elections, and everything else.......you know, I think that may be a program. Taking kids to tunnel tours. I think that released a small programming bug I've been having....phew. But that still doesn't help entirely, because this is HONORS Association.
There's my second point. I honestly spend a ridiculous amount of time with residents--it's just that not all of them live on MY floor. Because I'm in Honors, I'm friends and/or are familiar with many of Laurel's residents on 2nd Beede. Because I'm an Honors mentor, I've got mentees that not only live on 2nd Beede, but Kayla lives on 1st Mickelson. I've got friends that live on 4th Beede, 1st Olson, 1st Richardson, 3rd Beede...Essentially, I've met and befriended a ton of residents. But they don't technically live on my floor. And even though my residents say they love me, and I chat with them whenever I can, I feel like shit because I'm not able to say that I went to have dinner with them, or that I've done all these events with them, blah blah blah.
Shall I also mention that students are getting busier as the year goes on? To put it simply, even my friend Sarah in 1st Richie has noticed that kids are just so busy that even programs don't look as appealing. And when residents are noticing this, it's just a little bit ridiculous. But are they going to slack off on the programming requirements? Oh hell no. But they should.
Then to top it off, Jeff is leaving by the end of the month reportedly. He's most definitely leaving because of his wife's new job, but as to when, we're only speculating. HCB doesn't know the exact time of when, but I've heard the end of the month. Who knows. Then again, rumors are going effin' nuts this year, it seems. Particularly around HCB, which isn't fair to him. Basically, girls are having just a little too much fun trying to claim they've had a chance at HCB. Which is frustrating for him, because not only is he getting zero action, but he's discovered that his job puts him somewhere between the gray zone of student and staff. He's a staff member, so he can't go out and drink with students. But because he's a student, he can't do the same with staff. Supposedly. And supposedly, that also applies to dating. And simply put, that'd mean he wouldn't be able to date anyone affiliated with USD period. Which is why I say supposedly, because I find that extremely unlikely. Especially when another hall director Dan just now is in a relationship with another grad student, and it's no big deal. Other rumors included him deciding to quit. And even I'm getting tired of hearing the rumors, just because he doesn't deserve all the crap.
If any of them involved me, fuck me now. :/
Mehhh....HCB fed us Totino's again tonight. He also gave me and Dillon a couple bottles of Mexican Coke, because it's epic. Plus I mentioned that I loved the stuff, but can only ever find it at Ace Hardware. So he and hall director Trapper went to Sam's Club and bought a ton. :3
I had a test today, which went well I think. I got an 84 on my Astronomy test, which probably could've gone better. But oh well. I had a lovely conversation with Jeff in the university center about journalism, SDSU, his time at KELO and his experience with multimedia, etc etc. I'm also going to order my Alice costume as soon as I'm done with this post.
Which shall be now. :P

Dakota Days Recap Continued
Today's homemade food of the day: Twice baked potatoes with bacon. See? I ask for bacon, and I shall receive. It might've taken almost a day to deliver, but it did! :D
Also, I think I have a migraine today. But earlier no amount of closing my eyes and putting pressure on my forehead was making the pain go away. Owww....so I put in my contacts and have been wearing my sunglasses. Indoors. Because I'm fucking awesome like that, of course! ;)
Today was nice, I went to bed at 5am and woke up close to 1pm. I almost took a nap at 3, but the shit room 401 who can't take out their garbage had a lightbulb shatter. It was pretty crazy, mostly because it had broken a glass of orange juice too, so there was orange juice and glass everywhere. :/ I'd like to know where Tait was at this time, because seriously, I'm not good with cleaning up liquids and glass mixed together. Mehhh....
However, my floor likes to tell me I'm the greatest CA ever. I'm just too fucking lazy to tell them to shut up nonstop, particularly when no one has complained yet. If they start the running and bouncing balls again then I'll crack their ass, but since they're just naturally loud, I'm not going to rail on them constantly. They're not loud at 2 or 3 in the morning, so I'm content.
I can't think of anything else to say.....other than that I've yet to put up my door decs and bulletin board. The door decs are all right, I got the ok from Kristi to hold off on them until after Dakota Days since my floor has had issues with people writing GABE on them all and now setting them on fire.....oh I didn't mention that earlier? Oh yeah. They decided it'll be better to roast a door dec than a mashmallow. Fucking hell.....they really need to learn about who they bring around if they're bringing arsonists around. Damn.
Good thing Dakota Days is officially over, because this is the craziest weekend ever...It was hilarious and all, what with Sarah's brother visiting the front desk because he can't remember where he is, then chasing a cop car for three blocks only to trip and roll, followed by the cop coming out and yelling "Safe!", then the two kids from 3rd Beede dressed as Captain America and a strange variation of Batman running down the breezeway, then playing Uno with Hot Canadian Bacon and the rest of the kids, then the 24-year-old who had wandered in looking for a friend and was totally blacked out because he couldn't remember what he said 15 seconds ago, and his friends came down with one of my residents--oh that's an interesting story. This girl's name is Emily, and she was dating this guy Zach on 3rd Beede. She was most definitely with Zach that night. She then proceeded to stand at the front entrance of the complex and made out with this totally stranger dude. And I'm just watching going Holy shiiiiiiiiiit! Yeah, they're over with. :/
We also had epic conversations with Sam the DPS guy. He came in with his bike and hung out with us, and Kacee randomly asked him "Hey, do you have a beating stick?" So he takes it out and shows it to her, and she asked "Can I touch your beating stick?"
He not only said "It even extends," but he added "That was a really dirty question." And yes, he showed it extended and everything for us. We were laughing so hard that night, it was AMAZING.
I'm still waiting on ordering my Alice costume. If I get too impatient, I'm just ordering it from Amazon. :/
