College

Here you go.

So college. Pretty awesome. Orientation was kinda lame, but cool at the same time. I like that we got to know our hall really well, cuz I'm in the best hall of W&M. We're awesome. But he had to do a bunch of mixers, which were usually really lame. We basically met up with other groups and they forced us to be social, which is all well and good, except that my hall is social enough that the stupid activities we did were totally unnecessary. The first mixer we did was with 2nd upper, and they're pretty awesome. We escorted the ladies to the president's house, where the whole freshman class sang the Alma Mater. Since there are more girls on 2nd upper than guys on 2nd lower, two guys escorted two girls. My roomate and I were those guys. It was pretty cool. We got all dressed up. I was definitely the most classy. But then we had to stand and wait forever for the rest of the freshmen to get there, and for the president to actually come out of his house. So that was really boring. But it was okay. The second mixer was with 3rd upper I think. I don't remember for sure. But all we did with them was take them to lunch at the SC. But there wasn't a whole lot of mixing after we got there. Oh well. The third mixer was with some girls from Dupont. We paired up and each got an egg. Then we used markers to make our egg a person, and made up some facts about him/her. Dory and my egg was named Dwight. He was from the office and liked cheese and haikus. We then proceeded to egg toss our precious babies. They all died. The last mixed was with some Yates girls (Yates sucks by the way. Filled with obnoxious jocks. The girls are tolerable though). We each had a name of a famous person paper clipped to the back or our shirt, and we had to figure out who we were by asking questions. And once we figured it out, we had to find the person we were dating/married to/go with in some other way. I was Ben Affleck. Which was pretty cool, cuz Jennifer Garner is pretty hot. I'm glad I wasn't John Smith or something, cuz Pocahontas was ugly as fuck. And that was it for the mixers.

My class schedule is pretty fuckin' sweet. No classes before noon. Ever. Today my first and only class started at 2. And I have no homework that is due before Monday. It's amazing. But once lessons, quartet, and ultimate club pick up it'll be a little worse. Still very manageable I imagine. Everyone on the ultimate team is ridiculous. It's crazy. I still can't even throw a flick very well. There's a lot that I never knew I was supposed to be doing while playing. I've never counted stalls. I've never stacked. I've never played in shoes... XD. But it's gonna be awesome. They're taking 15 or so for the A team, but everyone gets on B team, so I'm cool with that. I pulled my quad just a little bit into the first practice though, so that sucked. I couldn't do anything other than the throwing drill for the rest of practice. Then today was better, but I tried to sprint and that hurt like hell, so I was really slow the whole time. I got to scrimmage though. Touched the disc twice. But I was only on for 2 or 3 points.

I feel like I'm one of those guys who stays in his dorm most of the day. I go into the lounge and I get comments like "Ben, where have you been? I haven't seen you in forever?" And I'm just like "yeah..." cuz I could go down there more often, but it's usually just people doing work, watching something random on TV, and playing the worst table tennis I've ever seen in my life. Ever. Like, most of them bounce the ball on the table before they hit it for their serve. It's stupid how against the rules that is. There are some good guys though. I do get out a bit though. On weekends most everyone goes over to the frats. One of my OAs is in Kappa Delta Rho, and that's a pretty awesome frat, so I usually go there. He's got like a 40 inch TV in his dorm room. It's ridiculous. Everyone goes to dance parties afterwords though, and that's lame. I don't want to display to the college how white I am. I also don't want some drunk chick's ass all over me. So I usually leave then.

Anyway, this isn't holding my attention anymore. I'm all gross from Ultimate. I don't want to shower though. I think I'll just change and put on some more deoderant. Don't expect frequent posts, even if you bug me about it. But I'll do my best.
