My friends and fellow Agathos members are great. :) We got our rush packet in barely on time, but we still made it. And we didn't make big signs, but we hung our fliers almost all over campus with Scotch tape -- before I got the email that all posters put up with any tape other than masking tape will be taken down. You just have to laugh at that.
My other friends are pretty stellar, too. I realize now more than ever, though, that most of my friends my age, the ones that I'm closest to or invite over the most, are guys. Which seems pretty unhealthy to me. It's not that I don't really like having friends who are girls; is there some statistic that tells how many girls versus guys come back for a fifth year, etc.? I really don't meet too many girls my age around campus. And I guess I haven't been investing in the ones I do know. Is it possible that I'm a female misogynist? I've been told that before, but I thought I was really outgrowing it. I don't want to become this woman who ministers to men only, basically giving away or stealing intimacy through those interactions. I can't really convey this into words very well. Basically, I don't want to be emotionally promiscuous with men. And I don't want my friendships to ever be forced into anything else. I need more women in my life. That's my conclusion. *shrug*
Rush is going well enough, I guess. No one showed up tonight, but I kind of didn't expect them to. I think our biggest two nights will be the Wii-for-All (I love Debbie's name for that -- it still makes me laugh at the corniness) and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This is easy to expect since we're giving away free food those nights. But it should be a good time. I'd rather just host people from campus than have some boring interest meeting anyway. But then I like some bang for my buck when it comes to my time lately. (I just realized for the first time that that phrase most likely had a shady start. Yikes.) I talked to a few guys from Boosters, and it seems that their vision is very close to ours this year; we'll probably collaborate on at least one project, I hope. I talked to another girl, Jennifer, who is thinking about rushing in general, so I told her about our club and told her to come back tomorrow and talk to Camarada, L'ami, and Alacritas (Ala-WHO?!!). I was really thinking that we could get a big rush class this year, but we've guessed that 10 will be a high number. Even if we have 10 rushees, and half of them are guys, that will be sufficient to create a little AU sub-community. That's my goal for rush.
I woke up late this morning and had to rush off to class on Beth Ann's bike (she's given me permission to use it). I didn't think about it on the way to class, but on the way back from dinner, I kept replaying the music from "The Wizard of Oz" in my head -- the scene where the neighbor rides her bike with the basket on it over to Aunt Em's house. I got back from the interest meeting that no one showed up to and crashed for what was supposed to be a half hour after that. It turned into 2.5 hours. I feel physically exhausted lately, although I don't know why. It's probably the fact that I had to deal with two Bears fans in my living room this past weekend. :D But seriously. I'm off to bed, because I'm still tired. Sheesh.
I need to start going to sleep earlier, because I haven't done morning devos in a couple weeks, I think. Booo.
