S-sorry, It’s Overrr…
So my time, at least for now, as a Carson-Newman student is over.
Now is a time for new beginnings.
I’ll miss all of you Eagles.
But I’ll still be hangin out.
Fo sho.
No-Shave November
So the men of Carson-Newman have a tradition where they grow out their beards for the month of November.
No shaving, no trimming…no nothing.
Therefore, today….I’m itchy.
I know, I know…
I haven’t posted in forever…geez.
Alright, so howdy hoot. Alumni Residence Hall’s Howdy Hoot skit was called “Cinderella 2.0″ We took the story of Cinderella, and, let’s just say, tweaked it a bit. Cinderella was Jessica Simpson, the wicked stepsisters were Britney and Christina, Madonna was the wicked stepmother, and Robert Goulet was the father who died of an allergic reaction to chicken of the sea. Jessica’s prince charming was Prince William. Not just any Prince William, but Prince William Hung. Prince Hung’s herald was played by Lil’ Jon, and the investigator who helped Prince William find his Princess was Inspector Gadget. Instead of leaving her glass slipper at the ball, Jessica left a Louis Vattan bag…however the heck you spell that. We included some random characters in this sucker, including Jacob Silj (of Will Ferrell/voice immodulation fame), Tina Fey, the Six Flags dancing guy, Simon Cowl, Donald Trump, Clay Aiken, the fab five from Queer Eye, Michael Jackson as the Fairy Godmother, Lance Armstrong on his bike as the carriage. Anywho, it was a blast. Greatest week of practice ever. But did we win? Nope. One of the girls’ dorms played the stinkin’ Christmas card, and won the dang thing. They even used the Chipmunks! Man, it stunk. Oh well. It was still a blast getting to know everyone in my hall, and making a fool out of myself.
Just so you know…I played Robert Goulet.
I’m out, deebadadeebadadaaaa…Goulet.
The wonder that is…Howdy Hoot
Okay folks, so I haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been so busy with class lately, as well as a little thing we here at Carson-Newman like to call Howdy Hoot. Howdy Hoot is a skit competition, between the freshman from each residence hall. Each hall puts on their own original skit, and the best one wins. We’ve had practice every night since last Thursday from 7-12 or so. It is an absolute blast. I can’t tell you the details of our skit yet, because it hasn’t been done yet, and it’s VERY secretive. But check back either tomorrow night or Friday night, and I’ll give you the story, and maybe even a pic or two.
It is SCRUMTRULESCENT!
“So long sweet summer…”
Well, here I am. One day away from college. It seems so strange. I seem so far away from the few months ago that I was still in high school, yet so far away from the few hours from now that I’ll be getting up and moving all my things from the home I’ve lived in for almost 18 years, to the home I’ll live in during the fall and spring for the next four years. I’m in some sort of cosmic limbo where I don’t have a place, even though I know I’ll have a place in just a few hours. It’s a strange feeling, really.
I must say, this last lazy summer has been fantastic. I’ve made some great friends, and done some exciting things. But I’m ready to move on, ready for that next thing. And I hope you’ll join me on the journey…
So keep ‘em coming, these lines on the road
Keep me responsible, be it a light or heavy load
And keep me guessing, with these blessings in disguise
And I’ll walk with grace my feet, and faith my eyes
Here I go…
One week from today, I begin my new phase of life and move in with my new roomie and old friend Andy at Carson-Newman College.
Shew…I remember when I used to sit on the couch, eating Cheetos, watching Ninja Turtles…those were the days.
“Once I’m gone I cannot look back…”
… I’ve got to trust this is right
‘Cause maybe I’m on my way to find you
But maybe I’m gonna make the mistake of my life” - Derek Webb
I decided to put off the other SuperWow posts and the Orientation posts, b/c well heck, I may never finish them, to write one about college. I have a lot of doubts and fears about myself as I’m about to embark on my four year or more journey through college. I’m excited, but anxious. Will I fail? Will I pass? Will I ever make it to class? Derek Webb’s song “Mistake of My Life” was written about his decision to move to Nashville to be with his lady, Sandra McCracken. I’ve connected with the song on a completely different level now, though, as I get ready to begin these four years. Maybe I’m on my way to find MYSELF, or maybe I’m gonna make the mistake of my life. I don’t really know. The fun is in the journey, I guess. Of course, it’s risky. I could find myself and my parents out 19 thousand bucks a year for no reason. That frightens me perhaps more than anything. The fear of failure is one that has haunted me more than any. What happens if I screw this up, if I fail my parents? I know that they’ll be proud of me and will support me no matter what, but that doesn’t seem to calm my fears.
However, afraid or not, I’m ready to tackle this thing head on.
” But I’ll leave the car running’
And I’ll leave half the boxes packed
For the slim chance I’ll go right back“
Dinner At The Homesick Restaurant
Just finished reading Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant by Anne Tyler for English class.
Wow, what a novel. One of the best I’ve read in recent time. Her depiction of the dysfunctional family is right on, and you find yourself right there with the characters. I’ll probably post some more about the book later…but as for now, this is only a recommendation.
Get the book.
Read it.
Back to school, back to school…
something something something a fool.
Yeah, I don’t remember all the words…sorry Adam Sandler.
Today was the first day back after spring break..and we did nothing…it was boring.
