well, christmas break is here. it's been fun so far, especially my night in montevallo with shannon (everything i hoped it would be, and so much more... glad jason came too!!!) but i'm starting to itch for my friends. and i'm also craving some closure on the whole guy thing. i don't know what's going to happen come january, and i wish he'd tell me. maybe i can swing things back in my favor... we'll see what sorts of miracles occur in the new year. keep your fingers crossed!

i've gained like... 10 pounds this semester, and i've GOT to get to the gym to knock it all off. i feel so sluggish and unhealthy and i'm really miserable with it. it's awful. and... i'm sick. i've got a cold and i'm miserable when i'm sick. i wish what's his name would come see me... but 6 hours is an awful long drive.

meanwhile.

that's about all i care to write about. i'm not really in the mood to write anything, i was just bored.

love
lindsey.

things have been crazy. it's a week away from christmas party and i'm still reeling from last week. exams are over and i'm back home.

the grades!!

FRENCH 3010 COMPOSITION: A
this is my first A in french since high school!! exciting, mostly because i made an 88 on the exam and that's pretty impressive in a language class.

ENGLISH 2810 BRITISH LITERATURE: A
her grading scale is 94+ is an A, so i was really exciting that i pulled an A in here... i was betting on a B!

GERMAN 2520 COUNTRY AND PEOPLE: B
ok, so this was the class from hell and i hated every second of it and really i'm lucky i didn't get a C

ENGLISH 3000 METHODS AND RESEARCH: --
jury's still out on this one, it'll probably be a B or a C. the class sucked, i hated it, i hated the teacher, she was ugly.

ENGLISH 4521/5521 HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was the BIG NEWS... this class is a super hard class, the prof is known to be rough, half the class dropped after the first test, and i, a mere sophomore, got an A in it! the final paper was 40% of our grade, and prior to that i had a B average, so i know i blew that paper out of the WATER. 12 pages of linguistic change, baby!!! if you're ever interested in what i think will happen should we colonize the moon, mars, have earth wiped out by hyena flu, and have all reunited in a bloddy coup by a lunar woman... ask me. or if you're interested in my version of a hispanic-turkish pidgin language and the effect it would have on english should the hispanic-turkish population become the ruling class in an isolated society... again, i'm the gal for you. regardless, it was AMAZING to see that A!!

ready for break! i've got to clear my skin up (i always break out when stressed, and my GOSH was i stressed!), exercise, get rehydrated, and ready for NEW YEARS IN COOKEVILLE! hopefully, a certain someone will be there, as we've already discussed the possibility of a new years kiss for us. we'll see. i don't know if he knows the symbolism behind it. i don't know if he'll actually come. again... we'll see. meanwhile, shopping, sleeping, familying, reading, soaking, enjoying!! birmingham, at last! for a while at least.

fete du noel!

so last night was Christmas party...

i began my afternoon by volunteering to drive 4 guys to jackson county for a liquor store run. it was incredibly funny. then i hung out at bo and humphrey's apt (they were two of the guys that went) for a long time, looking through magazines and watching tv and talking. it was nice. then i came and got ready, blah blah blah... i'd had an LIT over there, and some wine while here, so i was absolutely perfect for dinner with people i didn't know very well.

luckily, i sat next to beth and petey, across from bryan and his girlfriend (name escapes me, but i've met her and she's nice), and diagonal from jenkins and dani. all people i knew. so we had a really good time at dinner.

yadda yadda yadda... to the party at 9.

went in, my date was mad because i hadnt been there for an hour... but he was trashed already. yeah. went around with terri (aka T.O.), talked, etc... finished off the wine, had some goldschlager and some other stuff... just what random people had... went outside (in my cocktail dress and without my jacket!!) and got james witt (the sig that never talks hardly ever) to be a whole lot of fun, petted john's cashmere coat (oooooh it felt so good), talked to a couple girlfriends i'd never really talked to before... it was spectacular. met a few sigs i'd never met before. i think several of them tried to kiss me, including some new members... but they didn't. just a peck on the cheek. i've got a great head turn.

yadda yadda yadda.... eventually i ran into kevin dailey. he was REALLY drunk, and still had whiskey in his hand, so i used my feminine wiles to get it away from him. i'm really good at this. i've done it for a lot of people, and they never mind, because i'm a girl. so i carried around this huge bottle of evan williams the whole night, and i'm not sure where it went, because i don't drink whiskey. and i don't know where i put it. but at some point, i started dancing. with boys. i never dance at parties, but i did last night. no idea why... i just did (shannon- screwsday will be awesome if i can get in this state again!)

at some point, i took to sitting on the couch and watching people run around like fools. i loved it. then TO came and got me to take me home (she wasn't drinking), only we were both starving, so we went to IHOP. i left a 50% tip. while there, got a text from hatchett, so we went back to the house to pick him up and TO had to drop us off in a hurry because she had some HOT LIPS waiting for her, so i stayed at hatchett and thomas's apt. this morning, we realized that thomas wasnt awak (it was like 7:30 and i really wanted to go home for reasons that i can't get into on here) and hatchetts truck and keys were at the house, and my car was at my dorm. so we walked to campus and then all the way to my dorm in 17 degree weather. it was bitter. and i couldn't wear my dress and heels, so i had on jeans that were way too big and his tennis shoes that were... massive. it was special.

but i'm super tired. and evidently, according to bo, who was really really drunk himself, "yeah you were having a good time. i hadnt seen you like that, it was good...nothing bad at all, just a good time, you had fun"

and that was christmas party.

vite...

i think i got fleeced... again.

i hate the rush of knowledge/pessimism that comes at 1 AM. i want to cry. i learned so many things tonight that really... disappointed me. i feel like i was completely taken in and believed everything wrong. maybe i'm just not getting the whole story, maybe i'm rushing to conclusions. after all, it was all one-sided and half-supposed... we'll see.

i wish it was next thursday.

mes etoiles!

well. this was one CRAZY weekend! i went to athens, and it was spectacular.

i left after class on friday. class was pretty crazy too... we had a test in french and everyone was in a great mood and talking during the whole thing and laughing... oh i'm going to miss that class.

so i got to athens, went to lisa's apt., ransacker her closet. i dropped by the phi kappa party pad for a girls night event (male stripper) laughed and was jolly, and made fun of a girl to her face (she was mean) and then went back to lisa's.

she had a bunch of people over, and they were SO much fun. i was a little worried, because i didn't know any of them, but they were awesome and really sweet. so then we headed downtown and went to the winery and a couple of other places and it was absolutely great. look for some pictures on facebook.

we ended up at the grill, as usual. and then lisa threw up on the booth and passed out. so we left. billy (one of her friends) and i drove her car back (for the record, yes, it's true, asians CAN'T metabolize alcohol) and made cheese quesadillas and hung out. it was fun.

lisa came back the next day (her friend carl took her to his friend's apt that was downtown, and they both stayed there) and we ate and watched tv and then went shopping.

then i went over to lindsey's (my sigkap big sis) and she made me dinner and then me and her and kim (another sigkap) went to these guys' house and watched the GAME- SEC CHAMPS HECK YEAH

then lindsey and i went to lisa's and then to the phi kappa party and hung out and then back to lisa's. it was a different group, me, lis, lindsey, nina, lisa's boyfriend rusty, her friend jake from aug. state, but it was fun. downtown was crazy, of course, and we saw the entire georgia football team UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL IN THE BAR- as in, let me touch your sleeve! close. oh it was insane.

then i left at 4 AM to drive back because i was singing with my choir this morning at 8:30. i just barely made it in time, but it was a decent drive and i wasn't tired at all hardly. sang the whole way. my throat hurts now.

went over to hatchetts after church and hung out there and took a nice nap. oh it was a good nap. they have this old busted couch from the sigmachi house that's SO comfortable. and he made pizza and that was good too. so now i'm back and getting ready to sing at the hanging of the greens tonight. then dead week this week and exams next week and that's it! yeesh this is crazy.

love
lindsey.
