Definitely haven't had the TIME to get over here...I went to pick up my computer yesterday and found out that MacResource had given my reserved computer to someone who had ordered online. Yeah, I was kinda pissed. I've only got a few minutes though, Dad's coming in to take me to pick up groceries and such, so I'll make this semi-short.
So I've posted all my fish camp blogs...guess I'll start with the interim. Wednesday I woke up to find a message on my facebook telling me that there was a showing of Iron Man 2 over at Rudder that my fish camp group was going to. So, of course I went, after basically chilling all morning, which I definitely needed. My roommate came, and I introduced her to most of my camp friends. Not everyone showed up, but I enjoyed talking to those that did.
Oh, and a note. The counselor who kinda organized this whole shindig kept complaining about the things that went wrong--he said something about the sound quality, and about how hot it was. Now, aside from what I kept telling him that night (i.e., IT WAS FUN, CHILL), I want to explain a little bit about WHY it was fun for those non-believers. First, just talking and enjoying everyone's company was great. Second, we get into the auditorium, and all the fish camps that have come start doing camp cheers! So of course our little group starts screaming our heads off. You can't argue with THAT being fun. I don't think anyone but him even noticed any kind of heat. Oh, and as for sound quality? Didn't notice anything until he pointed it out. Our co-chair freaking out a few seats down was hilarious. Anything else? Oh, yeah--it's freaking IRON MAN. Can't help but love Robert Downey Jr. I have serious love for this movie, anyway, because one of my last memories of high school is of going to the midnight showing of this with two friends the night before an exam (not smart, but epic win!).
Group activities are just FUN. Go by yourself, you may not have a good time, but with groups? The little things just don't matter. Being with people you care about can make cleaning fun. Believe me, it happens, just ask a bunch of theatre kids cleaning a theatre. You put on music and dance, and that sh*t's a playground.
I really am thinking about trying to organize a fish camp H4H (Habitat For Humanity) day. Like a mini Big Event (for you non-Aggies, here's a link: http://bigevent.tamu.edu/. Another reason to love this school!). I like the idea of us all getting together and doing something that might not be fun otherwise that actually makes a difference.
Anyway, back to the storyline. So we get out of the movie, I tease this particular whiny counselor by making him explain in detail why the movie wasn't fun and arguing with him until his eyes are popping out, at which point I relent. I don't know, I laughed.
(Oh, and one more random thing before I continue. Most of the counselors I like--and no, silly children, I don't mean like--are guys. What is up with that??? I like the girls too, of course, I just enjoy talking to the guys more, and I'm not even acting the flirt, swear! Too many guys here on campus to focus my attention now. So what on earth is going on here?? Point being: I need some freaking girl friends. Random thought concluded.)
Then someone mentions something about Spoons, and my co chair gives me and a few others a ride over. For those of you from Arlington, Spoons is basically Pure Bliss. For those of you who just have no idea what I'm talking about, Spoons is a frozen yogurt place with delicious flavors and toppings. Another moment of nostalgia here, remembering: A), homecoming 2009 when an amazing friend drove in from his school and took me to homecoming, although we got rained out and he and I ended up meeting some friends at Chili's and then walking to Pure Bliss in the freezing rain for reasons I STILL don't understand, and, B) walking into that heavenly place after a one-act rehearsal with several other cast/crew members, chilling for a few hours and laughing when our rival school's one-act cast walked in. Ahh, good times. Obviously I felt at home.
Thus, we sat at Spoons for a few hours, just talking and laughing and chilling. I'm liking my life, won't lie.
So, today is Friday...what else? That was Wednesday. So, yesterday morning I get a reminder from my DG leader: free pizza over by Kyle Field, we're meeting! Obviously I can't eat pizza, but I walked over anyway. I took a bunch of pictures, definitely need to post those as soon as I get a computer. Anywho. Walked over, laughed, talked, entertained myself with camp people. Then we went over to play sand volleyball at the Rec. REALLY hot sand. Apparently I can still play all right though--my stamina's gone to hell, but I can still serve well and if I was faster I think I wouldn't have trouble bumping or setting, etc.--problem is getting there, not the movement. I think my freshman 15 may be lost, not gained. I'm not fat, but I'm not in very good shape, and I definitely have about that much to lose, won't lie.
Anyway, volleyball was fun, and I got some good pictures there too. So then my mom comes to pick me up, we go and get lunch, I pick some stuff up from her (rug, hangers, clothes, etc.) We catch up, I tell her about fish camp, she takes me back. I have proper sleep for the first time in a while that night.
Today. Today has been uneventful thus far, although getting here was a chore. Set out this morning with nothing but my cell phone, a bottle of water, and my wits...turns out THAT'S a bad idea. I realized when everyone around me was in Corps (of Cadets) uniforms that I was in the wrong place...somehow I had ended up at the corps dorms, still don't know how THAT happened. So I caught sight of Rudder Tower and made my way there, hoping to find someone who could direct me in the right direction. Lo and behold, I walk in and someone shouts my name. I look over and a guy with his hair in red stripes is standing behind the help center desk. Apparently one of my camp counselors works for Rudder.
Not a little embarrassed (who wants to be lost and thus obviously new, after all?) I walk over. Testimony to the goodness of these people: he teases me not a bit, merely pulls out a map and sends me in the right direction. This being the guy that I traded biting comments with all camp long. Life's funny that way, ain't it.
So here I am, at the Student Computing Center, waiting for my dad to call and let me know he's here. Tonight I am going to watch my first-ever soccer game (hopefully I'll understand what's going on. Can't be that hard...right?), again, with camp people. No plans for tomorrow as of yet. School starts Monday, and I can't wait.
Suppose that's it for now. Au revoir, mes amies.
Mon dieu, je t'aime!
