Happy Aggie-Ring/Birth day!
Howdy all!
It's been... a very long time since I last said anything up here... So here goes.
I'm currently studying for my Computer Science 410 (Operating Systems) Test.
It's going to be a booger.
Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I got two letters in the mail, one post-it-note "Happy birthday mi amigo", one "E-card" and a whole LOAD of facebook notes and IMs.
All my friends in Walton hall want to take me out and get me drunk (I think they are hoping I will go with them so they can finally know what I'm like when I'm drunk).
After I gave them a look that says, "Do I look stupid? I enjoy being in my right mind!", one of the guys said, "No, no, no, Drunk! Not wasted!"
LOL :-)
For my birthday Texas A&M gave me two tests, one on my birthday and one after... so my whole day was shot. Thank you higher education, you're the biggest party pooper of them all.
Sadly, "It's my birthday party and I'll skip my tests if I want to" is not a university excused absence.
I got my aggie ring!!! Whoop!! It's big, it's gold, it's... too small?!?
Sadly, yes. I got up at 7:30am, stood in line until 10, waited as the dude told me all the stuff about the ring, asked me if I was ready (I HAD BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE) and then...
*drum roll*
This is the part of the story where I take you to some other story that somehow has relevance to this story...
Do you remember that part in Cinderella where the evil step sister is trying to put the crystal stiletto on and it just won't fit? And she's straining, and moaning, and screaming, "Fit, dang it! I've got to marry this prince so I can be rich and torture him for the rest of his life by nagging and whining about all the smallest things and eventually tell him that it's time that we see other people and loot half his cash, leave him with the kids and head for Vegas..."?
You don't remember that part?
Well, it was like that, only I'm not an evil woman (isn't "evil woman" that redundant? ::ducks::).
Yeah, so I then spent the next ten minutes trying to get the silly ring off my knuckle (I had really tried hard to get it to fit).
Then I ran to the MSC Bathroom, grabbed a handful of soap and forced it on my finger. After it passed over my knuckle (which my mother will say are large because I always pop them) it was fine. I just have to wear it everywhere.
I've got to find a good time to get it resized (takes two weeks).
I just got the thing and I don't want to give it back :-(
Sadly, it's time I went back to the books. I'll post up some pictures of stuff later when I'm not studying for a monster test. 
Here's a picture of Derek (My working out buddy and fireman friend), Tatiana (One of Derek and my good friends), and me. We are all in rudder fountain and I'm smiling because I don't know yet that my cellphone, wallet, and keys are in my pockets.
Sad, yes... very.
