Bible cults, Grassroots campaigning, Lifting heavy objects
Tuesday
It seems to me that all the biology and chemistry I learned in high school has added up to nothing...
After taking 2 years of biology this guy stands up in front of the room and tells me that "biology is the study of life..."
And I had a 2 hour chem lab today...on what?
Density, identifying an "unknown" metal
I guess they got me "prepared" or whatever...but for the most part, college has just been "re-learning" old material....when am I gonna learn NEW stuff?
My roommate Ryan is running for treasurer for Brittany Hall...
A couple days ago I helped him campaign...
There's this website called Face Book and it's basically an online directory that connects people through social networks at colleges...
We did a search for people that lived at Brittany Hall...and we sent each of them a message telling them Ryan's views and what he will do as treasurer...and also the voting procedure...
Over 330 people...Ryan worked on the A's forward, Kenny worked on the middle, and I worked on the Z's going backwards...took us about an hour...
Had dinner at the upper level of Weinstein...
There was this girl that one of my roommates was trying to avoid...she went to the same highschool as him, but she was a teacher's pet or whatever...
Ryan yells out Kenny's full name and she turns around...it was hilarious...
She got all touchy feely with him and his face was bright red...
There is a "bible club" at NYU, but it's more like a bible cult...
People call you at 3am..."Hey, wanna look at the bible together?"
Ok, not like that, but every Tuesday this guy calls our room looking for Ryan...
It all started back when Ryan and Steve filled out this harmless spirituality quiz...you do a quiz and then your name goes into a raffle and you could win 10 pizzas or something...
That quiz...was how the bible group hunted you down...
They got your phone number...and they know where you live...
So every Tuesday we get a call...Eddie covered for him and said he was at a party at some other dorm...we're probably gonna go to hell for lying to the bible club...
Anyway, we start playing some poker...then halfway through the bible guy walks in...
It's so freaky...our door may be open all the time, but you can't just walk in without making a sound or at least knocking....
What I didn't know was that the bible group holds its meeting at Brittany Hall...in room 805, the room directly above ours...
So yeah, Ryan got basically got caught lying...and every Tuesday we're gonna disconnect the phone and lock the door...cause they're probably gonna sacrifice Ryan...
Wednesday
Writing the Essay...what can I say...I really don't like that class...
The instructor is pretty cool, but I don't like the class overall...
The progressions and stuff...the assignments are very vague...
No more clear-cut thesis...I have to write "complex ideas"...
I feel like I'm blindfolded and I'm being asked to shoot a target 10 miles away...
Had "real food" at Weinstein, Quizno's...
Then I decided to something new...something I have never done by my own free will...
I went to the gym...
It's an interesting concept, you lift heavy metal objects to damage your muscles...in order to make your muscles bigger...
Worked out my tri's, lat's, chest, and quad's...
It seems that everyone there is in shape already...and I feel like I just don't belong there...
My arms felt like putty afterwards...I don't know if I'll be going back anytime soon...
Another thing, every single girl at the gym is incredibly healthy looking...
That might be my only motivation to go back...
Congratulations to Ryan and Christina...they will be the Brittany Hall Treasurer and Vice President, respectively...
Seems like the "Facebook Grassroots Campaigning" worked afterall...
"A tournament,a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline."
