Oh man. I am so pumped. I definitely got a position as book reviewer at gamepolitics.com. I don't know if any of you ever read ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gamepolitics, but you should. Especially now, since, you know, I'll be doing book reviews. Words truly cannot express my excitement. I feel like I'm actually making progress in my career goals. So happy right now! Dennis McCauley that runs Game Politics said in his email that I had survived a "very difficult selection process."
Hahaha. I'm freaking out right now, no kidding. Also, thanks to all that gave birthday wishes on Monday... it was a good time, or as good of a time any Monday can be when you have a midterm worth 40% of your grade the next day, but whatever.
Mmmm. I should go to bed, but instead my friend Ashley and I are drinking wine and watching The Royal Tenenbaums to celebrate.
P.S.- I don't remember what the P.S. was going to say. I typed it, and then Ashley said something to me, and the train of thought derailed.

I am definitely moving into the sorority house this week. The girls I'm going to live with are super cool, but I love my dormies. What a predicament.
In other news, I made the first round of cuts for Summer Welcome Leaders. If I make it through two more rounds, I get the position! Sweet.
I really want Guitar Hero.
I also really need to go through my closet because my clothes don't all fit in my room. They're everywhere. It's kind of sick how much clothing I have. Now that my sister works at Express, she buys me clothes all the time. Not that I'm complaining. It is WONDERFUL. Seriously. It's just a little hard to fit into my little room.
I need a trip to EB Games. I've been in a kind of bad mood lately, and I think a new DS game will pull me right out of it. Oh yay.

I interviewed for a position as Summer Welcome leader today. I probably won't get it, because it's ridiculously competitive, but I've got my fingers crossed that I at least get a second interview. :D Also, I might be moving out of my dorm and into my sorority house. I don't really want to, but our house isn't full and that is bad PR, and considering that Phi Mu's PR is my chief concern as PR Chair, I am thinking that I need to help out. I will so miss my dormies. D:

For summary of my mood, see title.
I'm going to do such a cliched little girly rant now. Prepare yourselves.
I am currently dating this boy. We'll call him Alex, because that's his name. Alex is amazing. He's a Democrat and a Christian, he's quite possibly one of the nicest guys I have ever met, and p.s., he's really, really, ridiculously cute. His fraternity had a crush party tonight. He invited me. We didn't really talk too much over break, and I've only seen him once since we've been back (granted I've been back at school for under a week), and I was really excited to see him. We hung out all night, and were basically the only two sober people at this entire party, and I felt like things were generally going pretty well.
So he takes me home (first we had to drop off my drunken sorority sister, Nicky... which he helped me do, because he is amazing), and I can tell that we're about to have the Where Is This All Going talk. I kind of had the feeling that he wasn't going to say anything to the effect of, "I want you to be my girlfriend." I knew it was not going to be that kind of talk.
Basically, he said that he likes me, but really doesn't want to have a girlfriend right now. He just wanted to make sure he wasn't leading me on. He definitely likes hanging out with me and dating me, but he just doesn't want to be in a relationship.
According to the teachings of the book He's Just Not That Into You, this actually means that he just doesn't want to be in a relationship with me. What the hell am I going to do? I would like to keep hanging out with him, but I think it might be too hard. I really like this kid. I don't know if I'm going to be okay with dating him and never being his girlfriend.
I really don't know what to do. My dearest LJ friends, if I have ever needed you, it is now. Seriously. Is he just not that into me and trying to let me down easy? Is he telling the truth? I don't f-ing know. Gaasdlkfj. I'm going to go to sleep now, and hope that the answer comes to me in my dreams.
P.S.-I would also like to add that this is really weird for me. I never freak out about guys. It is not my thing. I am really used to being the one that is deciding where things are going in a relationship, and this power shift is really f-ing bizarre for me. It pretty much blows.

I'm updating again really fast, which kind of freaks me out.
Anyway, Nicole (my roommate) and I officially have the coolest room on our floor. We have a PS2, XBox, Sega, and N64. Not to mention my trusty GBA SP.
The kind of sad thing is that the PS2, XBox, and Sega are all mine.
I'm going to be a hit in the sorority house next year.

I'm really excited about my classes for next semester. I found out that this awesome-sounding biological anthropology lab that my advisor had told me would be good requires sophomore standing, so that's an unpleasant complication, but the rest is good. I just need to find a replacement for that class. I'm taking:
Information Science and Learning Technology 4361: Digital Media
Theatre 1400: Acting for Non-Majors
J1010: Intro to Journalism
English 1000H: Honors Basic Composition
Human Development and Family Studies 1610: Intimate Relationships and Marriage
And I'm thinking of replacing my bioanthro class with Fundamental Archaeology, or something else cool. It doesn't have to be anthro, but that would be nice considering it's my minor. Whatever.
I went home to see my high school drama club's fall play. That was incredibly weird. I did every single show for the past four years, and watching an EHS Drama production was so, so weird. I miss it, hence the Theatre class. I have my sorority skits now, but that's not the same. I need to do some community theatre or something. It's hard to be without it.
I'm behind on my NaNo word count. Quick, feign shock!

I cannot come up with a plot for NaNoWriMo. I need something that I'm actually interested in and I could get 10,000 words from. Boo. I can think of absolutely nothing.
Homecoming is almost over... the all-night pomping, the 10+ hour skit practices... done. It's kind of a relief, but I'll miss it. The Delta Upsilon boys are amazing. I love them.
I'm too lazy to write anything interesting in this.

Mmm. My first class was cancelled today, so I slept until noon. It was beautiful. I got like, ten hours of sleep.
The other day I pomped for four hours straight, from 10 pm to 2am. It was grand. Although I don't really have to pomp, because I'm in skit, I feel bad for the people that do have to pomp, so I pomp anyway. I pomp my little heart out.
I think I've gone over my text messaging limit for the month... I send/recieve about 10-15 a day, so I wouldn't be surprised. Oops.
I have such a craving for Jack in the Box tacos. Those things are amazing, but there's no Jack in the Box in Columbia.
I get initiated into Phi Mu tonight. :D

Today was such an entertaining, wonderful day.
One of the guys from our floor, Alan, hurt his leg the other night and is on crutches and literally cannot move without them. We were taking a picture of some of the guys standing in the elevator (long story), and someone was outside the elevator holding Alan's crutches while the picture was being taken. So, Sam (the boy holding the crutches), when it comes time for everyone to get out of the elevator, doesn't give Alan the crutches. Instead, he leans in the elevator and sends Alan up to the fifth floor. We were frantically trying to get him back but we were laughing so hard we were in pain... Alan thought it was hilarious. Even our PA's thought it was funny.
Speaking of our PA's, that's the other story! So, basically, I have a huge crush on my male PA. It's really bad. He teaches my Politics & Law discussion class, and is like... our floor advisor. I did find out the other day, though, that he can't lose his job for dating someone on the floor.
So, even the people on the floor that don't actually know I like him have been taking bets that we're going to hook up. We hang out all the time and um... yeah, I'm probably not that good at hiding the fact that I like him. Ohhh well. Anyway, I was hanging out in his room tonight and when I walked out a bunch of the guys from the floor were waiting outside for me like, whooping and hollering at me. So embarrassing, but so funny at the same time. They yelled a bunch of stuff about me sleeping with the higher-ups and like... wow, I turned red.
I love, love, love, love, love everything about Mizzou. LOVE.

Thanks so much to all the wonderful people that commented on my last entry. I'm feeling much better now. Well, I mean, still not exactly awesome, but better.
The girls from my sorority sent me flowers and a sympathy card and they've been like, bombarding me with emails just letting me know they're there for me. I <3 them!
Some of my professors are requiring me to bring back a copy of the obituary in order for it to be an excused absence. Seriously. "I'm sorry for your loss, but I don't really believe you had one. Bring back an obit to prove it. kthxbye." Jerkfaces.

We lost the football game yesterday. Then I got back to my dorm and got a phone call that my grandpa died. I came home this morning and I've pretty much just been sitting in my room crying. What a start to the year.

The first home football game is today! I'm totally excited. Okay, I hope we win. I'm not holding out too much hope, but no matter what happens I'll still have tiger spirit. Holler.
I'm in desperate need of a really good day. Too much negativity has been going on lately, and I really want to have one of those kickass days that give you a happy feeling inside for like, a week afterwards.
I've had so much homework lately. It is crazy. Seriously crazy. I'm so tired. I like my classes, though, so it's not really all that bad.

So far spring break is going insanely well. Friday night I went to Devin's. A super awesome time was had by everyone, and I met this really super awesome guy named Seth. We also all played spin the bottle multiple times which was really, really funny. To conclude: AWESOME.
My report card came yesterday. I think it was yesterday. Anyway, I GOT AN A IN AP ENGLISH. I could not believe it. That was the most amazing thing ever. I have not had an A in that class all year, and I'm so flippin' excited about it!
Last night I picked up my paycheck which was depressingly small. Oh, well. It happens sometimes.
So far today I have gone to church, and that's about it.
So... yes. I hope you all have wonderful spring breaks and I want to hang out with those of you that aren't going somewhere exciting (not to say that Eville isn't exciting), so call me if you want to do stuff.
P.S. Anna Molly is pretty much the light of my life.
Edit: And this (http://www.cbslimited.com/2005-prom-dresses/2005-prom-gowns/detail_prom_xcite-732) is my prom dress. It's way prettier in person, though.
Second edit: Okay, I didn't feel like making a whole new entry, but I have to tell you all how dumb I am. I have spent like, the past two days trying to get the balls to call this guy that I like, and I finally suck it up and do it, and I definitely have the wrong number. So, I have some thirtysomething female in my phonebook instead of him. Damn I'm cool.
