Hello Hump Day!

It's been a while! I ran out of time at the end of the semester what with brutal finals... and then I just didn't feel like posting during my European Christmas vaca. Things have been relatively quiet in terms of family drama and whatnot. It's been a nice break... traveled all over but the highlights were definitely hitting Dublin, London, and Paris... possibly my three favorite European destinations. Met up with The Daddy's Girl from The House and we definitely hit the bars and met hot European men. It got a little interesting with this Irish guy I met at the Guinness brewery who wanted to take me out for New Year's. Nothing happened with The Guinness Guy (though I imagine it could have) but The Guitar Hero is happy to have me back in the States. Things are alright with him... we'll see how things go this semester. The Guinness Guy has been keeping in touch through e-mail and video chatting and I'm sure if and when The Guitar Hero finds out... it won't be good news.

I'm back in The House now... moved back in on Monday to uncover the sheets covering my furniture and dusted my room. I'm ready for another semester to begin. Sort of. Our newly initiated class is settling in and some of them have opted to move in. It'll be interesting. I'm keeping my room since I've been around and involved and whatnot. In fact this year, I opted to take less of a role in internal House politics (although don't let that fool you... I still have a lot of clout). Instead, I've been elected to Panhellenic as the Vice President of Sorority Affairs.. which means I get to go to Panhell meetings, IFC/Panhell joint meetings, and the occasional university senate meeting. They wanted to push me into being VP Membership, which would have meant ridiculous amounts of stress leading up to rush and dealing with bitchy girls from each house who are heads of rush in their own respective houses. Yeah right. I much prefer having hidden power. In any case, The Social Chair... who is actually no longer the social chair, has decided to take up VP M. Which works out great since we agree on basically everything.

Fraternity Rush Week is coming up and I've already gotten all the Facebook group and event invites. If this were Hollywood, a bunch of The House girls are definitely considered A-List and desirables at rush parties since the number of hot girls and booze at a party is directly correlated with how successful and how picky a frat can be in terms of selecting its pledges. The Guitar Hero wants me to stay at The Mansion by his side and really... he needs a reality check. Staying on the A-List means going to all the A-List parties, dropping some flirtations here and there, and remaining desirable.

Anyway... time to get ready for the Hump Day Bar Crawl...
