I barely have time for this anymore. I feel like I barely have time to breathe. Last year, I would see Kristin running around, always in charge of one thing or another and looking like her head was about to fall off of her shoulders. I now know how she feels. One fear that I have had has been starting to come true lately: "over involved/under committed." I keep adding more things to my plate, and I am physically and emotionally unable to get everything done. The one thing that took on last year that has been the biggest time commitment and the most annoying is the Voice. I know it looks awesome on a resume, but I feel like the rest of the editorial staff has just this one responsibility on top of classes. I am taking 18 credit hours, I have three campus jobs on top of working at Opera on the James in Lynchburg, I am in SGA, Habitat, Chung Mungs, SDS, PBL and some other things that I am sure are escaping me now, as they do so often.
I am much happier this semester than I was all of last year. Even Lauren said something about it a few weeks ago at lunch one day. I think I thrive under pressue. I know it is such a cliche thing to say, but it is true. During exam times I am always the weird one that is happy to be so busy. It's nice. This year I jump from class to meetings ro work and get little sleep in between, but it does make me happy.
Being a Mungling has been amazing. We had ode night last week and gave our moms gifts. I have loved getting to know all of these girls that I never really sent time with before. Last night Allison and I were getting into bed, early for us, then we got a mass text from Alexandra saying "Urgent mungling meeting. Come to GV 3B." We were not pleased. But of course this happy little Mungling jumped out of bed and scurried down to Green Village despite the rain.
When we got there we were greeted by a Chung Mung that graduated in 1999. Meeting her was amazing. She actually got emotional and started to cry talking about what an amazing group of girls the Chung Mungs are. It made me realize that I am a part of something special. And it made me very happy.
Other tap club news, I was considered for TTC, but turned them down. That's just a big no thanks. Earphones tap on Thursday, and I know some people that are being tapped, myself not included. Kind of upset about that. But, life goes on.
Instead of trying to update this with my life, I am instead going to make an A to Z of things that I enjoy and things that make me Kate. So that will begin when I have time.

Jenn came to visit this weekend. We went to the Beta Rave. Then she left.
Megan has a budding relationship. It is adorable.
Tonight Allison, Shep, Sissy, and Jerry and I watched the VMAs. I am proud to say I lost 4 followers on Twiter die to my excessive tweeting.
This week will be crazy. Meetings and pictures and a quiz, oh my.
This post reminds me of Kim's LJ entries circa eighth grade, with the one lines.
I sat in the lower quad tonight after dinner and talked to my mom for about a half hour. Well, not really sat and more like ran around being chased by bees.

Holy crap it is September. I am in my second full week of classes. I decided not to move as well. My roommates and I have a good thing going, even though the room is so damn small. I love them so much.
I have been having fun being back at school with my friends, and having random weekend nights running about campus.
Classes are going well, but already I think I may drop my Ancient Greece class. I need that gen ed, but the classwas supposed to be my fun class. And it is my most intensive class. I am going to talk to my professor and figure it out. It is near impossible to get everything done with the reading that he has been assigning. I am going to look and see what I can do instead, gen ed wise.
We just had a health and safety inspection. There was a knock at the door. "Yeah?" "Health and safety inspection?" "Uhhhh... uhhh.. hold on!" BANG. The second we heard that it was a health and safety inspection we all tried to cover our bed risers, alcohol, microwave, hot place, coffee maker, gill, and lots of other things that arent allowed. We all got in trouble for the bed risers, and we were just told to take out the microwave and whatnot. Thank god we didn't get in trouble for those.
I don;t know what is in the water, but the freshman this year are beyond rude. Each one I have encountered has acted like they are the shit. Its ridiculous. A few freshman are working under me on the Voice, an they are being so difficult. Especially the ones that are running for SGA positions. Allison has dealt with one of the rudest girs imaginable for all of this. There was one girl that was notorious before classes even started. She left, thank god. She was terrible to everyone and we would ll openly hate on her at lunch while she was sitting right there.
Ashley was in te Vita fashion show the other night. That was amazing, and she looked
awesome, with crazy eye makeup and chaps. I took pictures for that, then the next day I saw that some girl that was in the show took my pictures out of my photo album and put them up on her own Facebook. I'm sorry, but that was incredibly rude. I think it is weird that she wouldnt ask permission. They were obviously not taken by her since they were photos OF her. I sent her a message telling her I didn't appreciate it and to give me some credit. She did. So that's that.
On a happier note, I have not posted a video lately. I have been obsessed with this song/band for the last few weeks. And the video is so different.

I am beginning to enjoy being back at school. Now that the rest of the girls have filtered back in, and classes have started, I am starting to enjoy it.

Wednesday, August 26 - This even FEELS horribly damaged
Last night Christin and I decided to go and get some Sheetz. I had a Voice meeting, and it didnt get out until around 11:00 so we went then. Just a few miles out of Sweet Briar, a huge dog went in front of my car and I hit it, causing it to go underneath my car and dragging it for a bit. All these warning lights came on, and we had to abandon my car in the Autozone parking lot since my steering went all funny. The front bumper is cracked, as is the grill. When we were sitting at Autozone I texted Kevin and told him what had happened, although I said, "I just hit a car and now m car won't start." Instead of "I just hit a dog." So he called me immediately, freaking out. But he walked me through looking inside my hood to try to figure out what was going on. But, being a girl, I was clueless. Still, it was very sweet of him. Ashley and Kayt came to get us, thank god. On the way back to school a dog ran in front of Ashley's car. It was crazy.
This morning we had some diversity workshop, which was just frustrating for everyone invlved. The instructor was black, and there were no black people in the room, so every time we wanted to say "black" it would turn into a very awkward "african american...?" Oh well.
This afternoon I interviewed with Kristen about possibly getting the Phonathon intern position. I would love it if I get the position, as it is an amazing resume builder, but I think I will still be happy it I don't get it. I already am stressing out with everything I have on my plate, and classes haven't even started yet. So if I don't get the position, I will probably be better off. I will find out tomorrow, I think.
Speaking of tomorrow, classes are starting. I am beginning the year with printmaking, which will be awesome. Then Ancient Greece and Leadership in the Arts Organizations. I am excited.
Tomorrow I will deal with getting my car fixed. Tomorrow.

SGA training today. First we had a Ethics workshop where the instructor told us h was a convicted murderer. And was dead serious. He had us still believing him until the very end when he said he wasn't. Still. I was concerned.
Then we had the public speaking teacher come in and we had t give little one minute impromptu speeches. At the end of mine she said, "you have a nice face." Thank you?
At lunch we laid eyes on the hot new Classics professor. Alle, Megan, Celeste, Ashley and I may or may not have made extra trips to get food just to stare and drool. Holy god.
Mock trial where Alkire was hilarious. Weezie came back. I am hungry and cold.
Met with Loftus for over two hours today to talk about my special study. It was a fun meeting.
Going to my first Voice meeting right now. I am sleepy.
This is a weird post.
