| A few absurd things that I've seen/heard at Duke:
5 graduation requirements:
1. Drive backwards around circle drive.
2. Climb on top of Baldwin Auditorium
3. Go in the restricted tunnels
4. Have sex in the library stacks
5. Have sex in the Duke Gardens
Duke football was project by USA Today to have a 500 million to one chance of NOT winning the ACC championships. Which means, if you put down a dollar on Duke and Duke happens to win, you've just won 500 million dollars=). But this possibility has already been ruined. Duke did, however, break their amazing losing streak (didn't win a single game last season) by beating Northwestern this past week. Drunk and riled up students decided they wanted to pick up the goal post... which fell down straight on the face of a girl who was apparently taking a picture.
A conversation I heard a couple weeks ago:
Stud#1: Hey, dude! Are you still with that girl from the other night?
Stud#2: Haha. No, man.
Stud#1: Good for you! Me neither!
*Both laugh obnoxiously*
Organic chemistry is notorious for its cutthroat competition amongst students. If you arrive to class 30 minutes early, the first three rows of seats are already filled. As a joke, some people actually TENTED overnight to get into orgo first (a Duke basketball tradition..)
The Econ 51 professor three free beef jerky and cigarettes out to his students.
Two guys I know (roommates) came back one night from a party, and found a girl who neither of them knew asleep on one of their beds.
THE LEAVES ARE FALLING. In pretty spiral patterns. YAY

| I love this song.. it's beautiful (the music, at least.. the lyrics are beautiful, too... but I feel kind of weird saying that=))
Me and the Moon -Something Corporate
It's a good year for a murder
she's praying to jesus, she's pulling the trigger
there's no tears, cause he's not here
she washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner
but soon they'll be coming to rush her away
no one's so sure if her crime had a reason
reasons like seasons
they constantly change
and the seasons of last year
like reasons have floated away
away with this spilt milk
away with this dirty dish water, away
seventeen years, and all that he gave was a daughter
"it's me and the moon," she says
i got no trouble with that
but i am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
"it's me and the moon," she says
and it's over, but it just started
the blood stained the carpet
her heart like a crystal
she's lucid and departed
a life left behind, she can find in her mind gone away
away with these nightmares
away with suburbia
shake down away
you marry a role and
you give up your soul til you break down
"it's me and the moon," she says
"i got no trouble with that, but i am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die"
"it's me and the moon," she says
but what do you say we go for a ride?
what do you say we get high?
but i'm so tired of days that feel like the night
"it's me and the moon," she says
and i got no trouble with that, but i am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly

| So I'm moved in to Duke. I have two laid-back roommates, and an envied dorm room (two large walk-in closets, crazy amounts of storage space, efficiently used space and consequently a lot of space, and air condition). My pretty personalized space makes me happy, and I like the existence of my stereo and printer. I realized that as long as I have some purpose, the excitement of a new environment outweighs everything I've left behind. When I arrived in NC, it was buying everything I needed for my dorm room. Today, it was getting everything set up and meeting a few people. But from the moments of time that I've had to myself, I've gotten a taste of the sadness that I'll feel once this initial excitement wears off. *However,* after that emotional drop, I think that everything can only get better- getting to know people better, finding routine, and simply getting used to my situation will do that.
Oh, our residence hall is next to the library, across from the cafeteria, close to the bus stop for west campus, and the tennis courts are right behind is. So... nice location=).
I guess I'll go mingle again. The last couple days have been so exhausting@.@

| I think I've been in the house for way too long. It's making me angry and hysterical. It's like a syndrom I inherited frm my dad or something. Whenever he's in the house for too long, he gets moody and won't talk to anyone. I've been occupying myself. I'm not bored. But it's like my mind has an hypo-allergenic response to prolonged "same environment" exposure. And I'm going absolutely NUTS. I haven't been out since... yesterday morning. Well, actually I was out briefly last night. But barely. But it's weird. Because I still cling to the same area. I still cling to my room, and really don't feel like leaving it, though it's where my sudden fits come racing out. GAH. I'll be fine.
But I'm going out tomorrow. I will. I will tear myself from my room and go OUT.
