Reared Against the Dome of Heaven

Yes, that line is in a verse of our Alma Mater! I know there are people who think that is ridiculous but you know if something is in a song it is a FACT. He he!
Well, this morning I had another early wake-up call. Only this one was from my big "sister"/"mom" (we are still in transition of switching the terms, each pledge class gets a little better at using "sister") in the house. At 5:15 a.m. I was taken from my cozy bed and to an unknown destination. Luckily for me, however, I was not told that I had to dress up in clothes from the 1980s, wear two different shoes, or wear our wonderful red robes that we are given as gift from our big "sister"/"mom" freshman year. Some of my friends apparently were so for once in my life I got to be the normal one (yay!). We were driven to Kelly's scholarship hall!! I was quite excited when we arrived but then I remembered that stupid Kelly was in stupid Spain so I could not go wake her up at stupid 5:30 a.m. (Kelly- you would have LOVED that I'm sure). Waitkins was not our final stop. After more people arrived, we were lined up 1 by 1 and taken outside to prance all around campus. We played red rover which I had just gone on a rant to one of my 6'4" tall friends about why I don't like the game. Bigger people just don't understand. Thankfully the other team found another short girl they could attack. We sang songs, rolled down a hill, and then were finally taken to our last stop. This is what I found out: I'm in I believe to be a traditionally secret honor society and that's it. I have no idea what it even does! My point in all this is, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be the driver that had to stop at 6 a.m. because we were walking across the street, single file, with one hand on the person in front of each of us.

P.S. I'm in the library right now procrastinating studying for the MCAT test (1 week and 1 day-AHHHHHHH!) and the people next to me are not speaking English. I can only understand one word that they have said is the f-word. I'm glad they have learned some English in their American experience.

P.P.S. This is what I worked on at work for a while! I scanned pictures and even help set up the exhibit.
