work all day play all night

HIIIIIIII guys. Its been a crazy couple of weeks. I know I haven't posted in a while...though i've been seeing most of you anyways (this weekend was a blast guys). We had tryouts today. They were amazing. I'm absolutely exhausted and we have callbacks tomorrow and maybe the day after. So i'm going to bed. I'll post for real soon :)

Overkill

So I know I already posted today but I'm kinda anxious/jittery/dunno. So you will have to bear with me my friends. So I had my first of two interviews today. And I don't wanna talk about it too much cause I don't wanna jinx it and I was only sitting on one side of the table so I have no idea what Mrs. Patricia Collins was thinking the entire time. But it seems like a job I'd love to do. It also makes me wonder with this semester if its something I even have time for. Between raas captain, AKPsi pledge master, and CORE, and the meetings involved with these three, I barely have time to breathe and get my work done and find a few hours to sleep in the night. To work in the job, even though it would be part time, would mean giving up the gym. Now I know that some of you are like. Ok Radhi, its CORE. Give up the gym for one semester and go back to it next semester. And to you I say you guys KNOW me. You know that the gym is where I gain whatever semblance of sanity I have. If I go a week without it I start bugging you guys. Imagine what would happen if I went an entire semester without it. I would lose my mind. It is kinda my happy place...sad. I know. But even more I am now FOUR pounds from target weight. And I don't want to ruin that either by quitting now. But I know that in the end the job would be more important. So I would find some way to do it all and once again, sacrifice some more sleep (don't worry, I know how unhealthy this sounds). So basically this is what has been brewing in my head for the past couple of hours as I worked out at the gym (Ironic, I know) but I don't want to jump any guns here so I am just going to wait it out. I have another interview thursday and then I guess I will eventually have to make some decisions. At which point I will really be driving you guys nuts. It is funny because with all the stuff I have put on my plate in the past I have never felt stretched too thin. But now all of this stuff seems like a daunting obstacle. But I think a lot of it is just the hype that I have heard about CORE. Maybe I'm letting people get to me. Maybe I should stop taking their word for it and feel it out myself. Ok. ready, set, open mind.

mine doesn't match yours

I'm officially more confuzzled. Not that this is a new state of being for me, but moreso than usual. Ironically, I understand my confusion - what brought it on and why it is here. So I guess I'm more frustrated than I am confused. But nonetheless. I am in some state of confrustrated. I think people should communicate more. WIth their friends, with their peers, with their bosses or professors. If the exact expectations of any situation are explicitly communicated at the beginning of a task then there is no need for confusion. Yours matches theirs. It is when we forget to express these expectations or simply assume some of our own that we run into problems. A disconnect. So I guess that is where I am now. Disconnected.

Sorry I fail to meet expectations. One can only try harder next time. Pass go, collect $200, and start the next round.

Back to the grind

So I'm back in Boston. And I love it (except for this ridiculous heat that will hopefully pass now that earl has blown through). It has been pretty much your standard getting to see friends and hanging out running rampant on the streets. I don't have any classes before noon, so my nights are a little more free this semester. My classes are great and my CORE team is amazing. And Hemal said that I have the dream team of CORE professors, so it looks like everything is falling into line for me kicking this semester's butt like I intend to.
It's just so funny because I feel like when I come home I get a chance to settle into the groove of things but when I come back to Boston I practically hit the ground running. I haven't had a chance to sit and think for 2 seconds before having to rush off to meet this person or do this or go to that class or go to that meeting. It's saturday. And I already have a meeting with my pledge panel, my dance team co captain, and then lunch with a girl who wants to try out and contacted me. But hey. It IS labor day weekend in Boston. School just started, so not so much work. And labor day weekend here usually means I can expect to make some greaaaaat decisions. :) SUPAAAAA excited. Ok like I said. No more than two seconds to string my thoughts together. Gotta run. Meeting time.
