Sunday, November 8 - New York, Crystal Castles
I went to New York last weekend to watch my mom and her running group run in the NYC Marathon. Five years ago my mom was hilariously nonathletic, and here she is now, just finished her second marathon. I am really proud of her. Her entire running group did really well, all setting new PRs and finishing. The trip was really fun, otherwise, aside from getting there. My flight leaving Lynchburg was 3 hours later, thus creating a snow ball effect that left me stumbling into my hotel room at 2:00 am, trying not to wake everyone up.
The next day my mom and I went to the Brooklyn Museum. I don't know how I have never manged to go there, but I finally made it. I wanted to go to the Whitney but we ran out of time. I finally was able to see Judy Chicago's dinner party, and I didn't think I would ever see it. It was a thousand time more amazing in person than it is in photos. Its ginormous. We spent over an hour walking around it.
The day of the marathon I woke up with the runners and went with them to Staten Island at the crack of dawn. Shaun stayed back and slept, so I was left to catch another ferry and a subway back tot he hotel. It was about a two hour ordeal. But it was really nice, being able to just sit on the subway, listening to Crystal Castles at a deafening level and tuning out the rest of the world. I got off the subway about 10 blocks early so that I could just walk around, and it was oddly soothing. It was only about 8:00 by this point so there was not much going on, being a Sunday morning.
Shaun and I hung around for a few hours, and he went exploring into Times Square since he had never seen it, and I read and napped. When it was time for us to go to the bleachers at the finish, we though we only had to walk a few blocks, since he had scoped it out earlier. Oh no. No no no. We ended up getting do badly diverted that we had to run three miles through tunnels in Central Park, down by the zoo, jsut to get the 65th street where we were to begin with, basically. Shaun missed Traci finishing, but I hung around the 1/2 mile to go point and waiting on my mom. When I saw her I ran along with her for a bit. I didn't get to see her finish, though, since the bleachers were so congested.
The weekend has been really nice. I haven't stayed here and done nothing for quite a while. Friday night was the opening of the new gym. So Shep, Jenny, Sarah, and Lauren and I went to that an watched the Proposal with a bunch of girls. That was actually a really good movie. Then yesterday morning Jenny and I went and explored the new gym, played tennis, walleyball, raquetball, ran and worked out for a while. We were there for over 2 hours. Last night we were going to watch a movie, but we were both in too much pain to move. So Shep and I sat around, read, and I talked to Matt for a while.
The morning when I woke up I felt paralyzed. My back i in excrutiating pain, and my legs are urting so bad. I have not been this sore in a long time. I waddled over to breakfast and texted Jenny. She replied with, "Kate. I'm walking into Prothro right now and I look like I had really bad sex last night." And she did. It was hilarious. Shep was sitting a few tables over from us and was aparently laughing at us each time we had to slooooowly stand up and go get a fork or something. It was horrible.
I came back from breakfast and just collepsed back in bed, planning on never moving again.
No such luck.
Shep ended up convincing me to walk the lake trails with her, and that ended up being a lot of fun. The last time I did that was last February with Ashley and Jerri when the lake was still frozen over and we could walk on it. I want to go back to the field behind the lake with a blanket and just lay there. It was such a nice day.
Right now I am struggling to get up and go to my Voice meeting. I have no photos to add to the paper, and I honestly don't care. I want to quit, so badly, but I can't. Next year, not doing this again.
Oh and jussayin, I think that this song is the greatest song ever created. I think I listen to it over 20 times a day, for the past few weeks, and I have Rob doing the same.
I feel like this would be an amazing thing to experience live, although Alice sounds really rough live...

Tuesday, October 27 - Very Happy Mungling
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.

Tuesday, September 8
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.
