So ignoring my "entire" school week, I'm going to focus on Thursday night and on. Thursday night was the night before the Michigan game. Well, OSU must of course have some kind of tradition for pre-grame. Right? Logically, it'd be something to cheer people up and hold a traditional value. No, college football fans, that is beneath us. We take pride in stripping down and facing the frigid air among other things as we show our school's endurance. That's right! The freezing cold jump into a three foot man made pond, also known as Mirror Lake. At first I wasn't going to go, but then one of my suite cluster mates persuaded me to go to hold his towel and such. After relentless persuasion, he finally got me to go. At around eleven o'clock, almost the entire floor left to jump into the lake. Not only did the goosebumps inducing wind greet us, but so did three sets of paramedics and Columbus and campus polices. The routine was pretty normal and repetitious. People take off their shirts and shorts or whatever they were wearing and jump into the water. Then they take it to yell as loudly as possible, perhaps to wake up dead, annoy people or sream in agony as the freezing cold numbs the nerves. After several jumps, the three or four floor mates I was helping out decided that they had had enough and took it upon themselves to run their frozen bodies back to the dorms. That was perfectly fine with me.
So then Friday was pretty fun. In the morning, I had to wake up to turn in my survey class assignment (basically teaches you about how to schedule classes and such). So I get up at 7:30 and get to the room at 8:30. First though, the instructor decided to email the class at 8:22 to tell us that we didn't have to turn the assignment in during class. Would have been nice to have received that email earlier, like before I left to go to class. Anyway, so only about three people showed up to class, which consisted of us turning in our assignments to some random lady who helped our instructor out and then leaving. When I got back to my room, I checked to see if my chem exam grade was up and it was! Woo! I finally did well on something in chemistry, so I rewarded myself with a nap until chem lecture. After lecture and lunch at some place that I forget, I did something. I don't really remember anymore, which is kind of scary. Anyway, fast forward several hours and Blackwood gets here! So we went to an All-American Rejects concert with Shawna, Jamee and some of Shawna's friends. So besides the 2 hour wait in a pretty warm place (I don't really know what it's called) and blasting music that made my left ear deaf almost. The actual concert was so awesome though! It was so much fun, except for the drunk people. The music was awesome and I actually knew several of the songs. So yeah drunk people were annoying. One guy decided that everyone should have a drink and so he sprayed everyone with beer from his bottle while jumping with the crowd. At the beginning some girl threw her bra to the lead singer, Tyson. This brought OSU the fame of being a party school, not that we needed it more than we already are. The band played their new single as the encore. Getting back was kind of exciting. Actually not really. We missed the first shuttle but then caught the second one. It wasn't too cold, but we kept on getting handed beanies and scarves.
Saturday, I spent the morning at the rec center, playing raquetball or riding the bike. I think that I'm getting better at raquetball now. It's so confusing keeping your eyes on the ball sometimes. After the rec center, I hung out with Blackwood, Angela, Brigette and some other people from their suite. After playing Rockband (never again), we went to Target, where I found out that I was really hungry. So we went to Johnny Rocket's, which was in the same area. I ordered a Streamline, which didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I thought the ones that I make taste better. After dinner, we went back to Angela's dorm to play 90's Trivial Pursuit. I guess I should brush up on my 90's facts. Ah! so many baseball and Playboy questions :S Blackwood and I finally went to sleep at 4 after we managed to talk to Julia and Marie at the same time through different mediums. That was quite special.
Apparently I can't just avoid sleep anymore because after waking Blackwood up at 8:30, playing Halo 3 with him and then dropping him off with his ride, I managed to fall back to sleep again from around 10:15 until 2:30 almost. Wow. What a lazy bum I am :( I should really stop doing that.
