So TSU campus is definitely not as nice as Barry. Performed really poorly today. Whatever; I’m over it. I’m embarassed by how bad I performed. Everyone else is better than last year, and I’m worse than last year. Lame.
Had fun chilling with Shawna, though. Got a lot of reading done, but I still have half the book to read before I can write my papers. They’re going to rock my face off, though, and the book is EXTREMELY interesting. I keep reading to the people around me, so I’m raising everyone’s IQ, teaching them about ethics and maternal instincts.
I forgot how big bumblebees are in the South.
I was in the bathroom when I heard this girl say, “They’re here for speech and debate nationals.” This boy answered, “Oh, so that’s what all these white people in suits are doing.” She was horrified and yelled, “Oh my God, don’t say that, they’re right outside.” So I yelled, “We’re in here too and it’s okay, you can say it!” When I came out, she was so embarassed and apologized, but I assured her, “It’s okay, we are well aware.”
Went to Kroger’s this evening and a kind lady in line ahead of me let me use her Kroger card. Turns out that’s common policy for all women who come through the store, haha. I feel like all I’ve done all day is EAT really bad food.
It’s raining sooooooooo hard outside. The roads are rivers. Oh, and apparently there was an earthquake in like Illinois last night, and apparently many people felt it here. I did wake up during the night, but I’m pretty sure it was just my bladder, not an earthquake.
Other than that, though, the weather was superb. This older gentleman came up to us while we were waiting for our van and gave us flyers to eat at his restaurant, then suddenly went off on this tangent about how we should go get our home states to boycott gas, particularly Exxon-Mobil. Which is funny only because Meredith’s grandfather used to be the CEO of Exxon and that’s how she’s paying for college, haha.
Anything else? Not really. Texted lots of home people all day. It’s lots of just sitting around and eating, which the occasional performance which I dread with a fiery passion because I’m so bad. Today was my long day, so I’m glad that’s out of the way.
Pretty much it, I guess. Time for bed!
