All right, so it's Saturday night and my big plans are to, um.... sit here and do work and clean and pay bills. Yippee. I'm actually excited about this because it's the first weekend night that I remember staying home and actually not doing anything. I really need the break, I think. Except for my PSP meeting tomorrow, my schedule is pretty clear. =) This is good because I have two prelims next week. Now the question becomes, will I actually get anything done in the next 30 hours or so? Only time will tell, I guess.
Last night was, um, interesting. I got so, so drunk. I threw up a lot when I got home. I haven't been that drunk since the summer and even then I don't know if I was as drunk as last night. Silly me put up an away message last night that said, "What was I thinking???" so this morning everyone wanted to know what happened. Other than being hungover, though, I had nothing interesting to tell them. My stomach is still queazy, though.
Today was the Chili Cookoff. It was quite cold outside, but you can't beat doing service with friends. =) There was funnel cake and hot apple cider and oh yeah, chili. =) I only got to try a couple, because we were not relieved of our ticket selling duties for quite a long time. It was still fun, though. I see why everyone goes on and on about how great of an event it is.
I'm trying to think of more interesting things to say, but my stomach is stealing my thoughts. I don't have time to be interesting anymore - all I ever do is relay what I've done, which can't be all that interesting. When will my life so down??? I do like being busy and all, but....ahh well. Perhaps less nights where I stay up until 3 watching the Olympics? Thankfully they're over soon. No more games/movies until 6 in the morning? I have no one to blame but myself, I suppose....

So....I don't really have time for an update, but what the hell, I'll give one anyways. What's 5 minutes out of my procrastination (I really hate physics.....)? =)
I have been busy with PSP stuff, as always. To recap some "fun" events from the past few days, let me give you a snipet of a conversation I had with Helen:
Dragonspyt: i'm going to buy a big roll of red tape, and tape all those safc/student assmebly/admin people together and have a huge bonfire. and i'll buy millions of marsmallows with their money and invite all the presidents/treausrers from all the organizations
Lizzardie: LOL
Lizzardie: can it be a fundraiser?
Lizzardie: we'll sell tickets!!!!
Dragonspyt: yes!!!!
That about sums it up as far as executive board stuff. *sigh* It's a good thing I love being treasurer and money in general. Why this is, I ask myself on a regular basis, and the only answer I can come up with is that I just do.
There have been some things have been truly fun, though, in the past week. The hot chocolate sale was fun (I perhaps ditched class to stick around for awhile.....). Gotta love fundraising! The party on Friday was great, too, and there has been some general game playing (video and otherwise) to swallow large chunks of my time. Rush is going to kill me, though, I think. I need to pay more attention to my classes!!! I did get a 125/150 on my chem prelim, which is above the mean and at least a B anyways. That means I'm not failing the one class I've been tested on. I'm also not getting any sleep, either. Actually, for once in my life, I'm learning not to depend on sleep so much. Some of you may remember that in the past, I have had trouble when I've gone many nights in a row without at least 7-8 hours of sleep. But I think I got 7 hours Friday night and that's the most in several weeks. Four, five, six hours - doesn't phase me as much anymore. Way too much procrastination, though. Ahh well.
Things in the apartment just got interesting, though. I've been feeling kind of isolated from my roommates. I was thinking that it was because I'm never around. They're nice and all, but it seems they're a bit cold sometimes when they talk to me. Not all of them, mind you, but I don't feel apart of the group or something. I don't know. I thought it was just me. But Allison and Dahlia just came up to me and said that they feel it, too. It's not good, of course, but I'm happy to know it's not just me and that they still like me and want to spend time with me and everything. I should definitely make more of an effort to hang out with them. That goes for all of my friends that are outside of PSP, I suppose.
Ohh, and one more thing: This is a couple days late, but you all must know by now that Valentine's Day is no longer a real holiday to me anyways: SHOUTOUTs to Crystal, Herb and Jamie for the Valentine's cards and/or candy. You guys rock and this will be put up on the main SHOUTOUT page, don't worry!

I thought I'd write about my weekend in Syrcause. It rocked! I had so much fun, as I always do with PSP people. It's really great to meet with other chapters, find out what kinds of things they're doing, get ideas for things for our chapter. With this, as with National Convention, I've come back more enthusiastic, feeling more empowered to make a change for the better. And the people are so, so nice - it's really great to know that we have such a great group of brothers so close to us (RIT and SU). I also feel that it serves as a bonding experience for our chapter, as well - for the brothers who go. Of course, it was mostly the same group of people on this trip as the St. Louis trip, but hey, we can always become closer, right? Right. =) I can't wait for our interchapter event and for the conference at RIT. Yeah PSP!!!! =)
As for things we did, there some highway cleanup as a service project. I found this doll in a very disgusting box but she was in perfect condition. She's wearing kind of sleazy clothes and has no face. Plus, her hair is removable - she came with blue hair and pink hair. She's going to be our new service committee mascot, as we found her doing service, and we named her Skank. Aren't we great? And then there was snowtubing - once we got there it was great (I missed a turn, ended up at the wrong mountain, and then my car got stuck in the mud). There was some more topless winter sports, since it was once again nice outside. This time, there was some participation on the female end by myself and Crystal - in sports bras, but pretty topless. Our chapter was known as the missing chapter, now we'll be known as the naked chapter. Yippee!
All right, I should go to bed. Going away for the weekend has set me back greatly and sleep would be very good right now. Yay sleep!

Numerous people (i.e., my roommates, Ryan) have made comments along the line of me not looking too good lately. Very dark circles under my eyes (that was Ryan), looking not very alive (that was Allison), et cetera, et cetera. I'm thinking this isn't a very good thing. And for various reasons, this is going to be a very long week for me (where I will feel very tired) and then Syracuse. I want to have fun in Syracuse and it would be good if I had gotten some sleep, dammit. Do I need to slow down?

I have sworn off numbers for the evening. This won't last too long (well, maybe - I want to go to bed at a reasonable hour) but hey, it's worth a shot, right? My life revolves around numbers so much that when my calculator died on Monday night, it was as if the world crumbled. =) Sad, isn't it? But hey, it was after midnight, and not a lot of places are open. Herb took pity on my lazy ass, though, and drove me to Wegman's to get batteries, even though I have my own car so nothing was stopping me from taking myself to Wegman's. I like chauffer services. =)
My week, besides numbers, has been, um.....well....what else have I done? PSP is my life now. I basically schedule everything around it - it's nuts. I mean, I love it, I really do, but I never imagined being so busy! Or throwing myself into something so much! But it makes me feel so good to be a part of this organization. It's good to know that there is always someone there to gossip with or laugh with or to lend a shoulder to cry on. I think what makes me so involved is that I want to give back to PSP what PSP has given me, and it's really not possible. I'm extremely fortunate.
I'm neglecting my other friends, though, and I feel so bad about it. I just have so little time and it's so important to me to do a good job as Treasurer. It's funny, because my away message almost always says Phi Sigma Pi. It doesn't seem like I'm putting too much in, but when Ryan, our VP, is reprimanding me over IM about the amount of sleep I'm getting....hopefully with all this funding stuff out of the way things will get better. But now rush is upon us and collecting dues....ahh, well, it's fun and it's what I want to do. I hope my other friends understand....I still love them but this is really important to me right now.
I did go to Buffalo Friday night to visit my aunt and get some stuff from her. I was so tired when I got there, though (up until 6:00am Thursday night doing what else, budget stuff). She was glad to see me and she looked good, I just wasn't able to visit with her as much as she would have liked.
So...I think I'm going to end up only updating once a week or so. I just don't have the time. If things slow down....that probably won't happen anytime soon, though....
