I'm trying to find a bit more time to write. A few more weeks and it'll be summer and I'm sure I'll be back to posting every day, multiple times. Gotta love free time.
So....I keep getting these signs that things are not right in my life. Yesterday, I found out that my other little, Rachel, is also dropping from initiation. I'm really sad about that. Irving, my first little to drop, saddened me too, but due to some unfortunate circumstances in his life, I understood that he didn't find PSP a priority. Rachel dropping was completely out of the blue. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - I talked to her everyone one of those days, either in person or via IM or email, and she seemed so enthusiastic. She arranged for the frat to have Adopt a Highway space - we even have a sign! I saw it! Everyone kept telling me what an awesome little I have, and now she's gone so suddenly. I understand why she left, and I don't want to force anyone to join the frat if they don't want to, but depsite her saying I'm a good big I still feel like kind of a failure. =( Life goes on, though, I guess.
Job/money for the summer search is not going so poorly I suppose. I have relatives looking for internships for me. And my dad called me yesterday to say that if I need help with car payments, he'll pay some for me. That's nice, even though I don't really like taking money from my parents. Rachel (from home) asked about how my license got suspended, so here's the details: you may remember that I got into a car accident in September. You may also remember that I got a speeding ticket in November. Said speeding ticket was not supposed to be reported to my state, according the to NYS courts (damn liars). It obviously did, and silly Illinois law says that if you're under 21 and you have 2 traffic violations in 24 months, your license is suspended. 3 months, starting yesterday. I did drive today, but for a not-far distance. And I hardly drive my car anymore anyways - it now resides in Herb's driveway and he drives it, even when I'm in the car - he has his own key (well, he has my spare key) and I don't even head towards the drivers side of the car anymore. Ahh well. Senior year, I lost my license when my wallet was stolen and I drove for approximately 3 months without any proof of license and never got caught on that, so we'll see.
So much work to do in the next coupla days. The end is in sight, though - Slope Day in 3 more days!!!

Hmm, I've been meaning to write for awhile, just haven't gotten around to it. The past coupla days have really sucked. I found out on Saturday that my drivers license has been suspended, yesterday I found out that I can't go back to Pitney Bowes so I have no job this summer, and one of my littles is dropping from initiation. I don't really feel like writing any more at this point, because we all know I'll just sob and sob and whine and whine. Thanks, though, to Vinny, Crystal, Herb and Adam for being so great the past coupla days (there are other people, too, but especially these four) - it's good to know that my friends love me no matter what. =)

NEED TO STUDY NEED TO STUDY NEED TO STUDY NEED TO STUDY NEED TO STUDY..........................................
What is it going to take to knock some sense into me so that I get the work done that I know I desperately need to do??????? I'm definitely not doing so well in physics, and chem's going to be a problem if I don't study today. At least I normally spend a lot of time on optimization (the only class I spend time on), so that test seems to be not so threatening. After tomorrow - no more tests till finals!!! A reprieve for the last three weeks of the semester, yay.
NERC rocked, btw, as I knew it would. All right, so Delta Alpha beat us by a hair (hare?) in the Vermonster challenge that we issued, and my car will never be the same again after the driving stunts Herb performed during the Road Rally (which we won - and there's no actual car damage, I just lost ten years off my life, I think). Every ICR thing I go to, though, the most important lesson I bring away (and yes, I have to be reminded constantly): the problems our chapter faces are the same as all the other chapters. Of course that doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing our damnedest to rectify them, but at least we're not alone.
Paintball on Saturday. I'm scared. I'm only going because Rebecca from Delta Alpha is going, and therefore there will be another girl there who has never played before. I think Helly is going, too, which is good. I have lots to do this weekend, though (including all my tax stuff, sigh).....

I had an epiphany today. Does anyone remember those logic problems, where you had to match a person up with something, sometimes multiple things? Sally lives in Florida and is a dentist, something like that. I LOVED those growing up - one of my favorite challenges (I never could get into the crossword puzzles). They're just assignment problems, though - I"ve spent all semester working on the same type of problems in both of my OR classes!!! I haven't seen one of those puzzles in years, yet the wheels in my head are turning about how I could write a program to solve one! Some days, I get little signs that I'm on the right track and maybe perhaps I'm actually doing what I'm meant to do - today is one of those days! =) To think, I've been working in OR all along....

ASSASSINS has begun, and so has the paranoia. =) Eek! I have to be careful about publishing anything that has to do with my routine or with what I'm doing in the future. My goal is to live through Friday, so that I'm alive at NERC this weekend. NERC is off limits, so it's all good. I also want one kill. I'm in an alliance (hehehe), but I'm not telling any of you who! HA! I did scare the hell out of Bolcar today, though - very amusing. =) I bet he wishes I was his target now! Ahhh....I am intensely paranoid, though....and the game is 2 1/2 hours long! How will I ever live a MONTH??? I've been using my tracker (yeah, oh assassin of mine - bet you didn't know I had one!) and the people who've hit my site in the past coupla days worry me. Or just that there was one, so I thought it was that person, but now there are two....what if more pop up???? HELP!!!! Hehehehehehehe.....
