New Apartment and Life

So it has been a while since I last updated, but I won't be going through each individual day since I've kind of forgotten what has happened on each day. So instead I'll just make themed sections as to what has been happening.

School
Well only a few more days left in physics and then I'm done with it forever! I can't wait. The class has been pretty tough, but somehow I'm doing pretty damn well in it. We got back our third test the other day and I got a 90% on it. I was completely and utterly stunned. Today was the last day in lab and I got all 200 points that were possible in there so that will definitely be a nice grade booster. Kirsten and I worked out where we currently are in the class the other day and I'm sitting on an A right now. So long as I don't mess up the last test this Friday too much, I'll be passing the class with an A or an A-!

Student Government
Had a meeting today with Diana, Sandy, and Tina about the Freshmen Leadership Retreat that I want to start getting planned for next summer. We had a great meeting and got lots of ideas flying around now. I've got some research to do though to start figuring out what we can reasonably accomplish. But I'm so excited if this goes through the way I envision it!

Archon Academy
So the weekend was pretty awesome. The other Archons came into town on Friday night for Archon Academy on Saturday. Friday was also my chapter's one year anniversary of receiving our charter. It's kind of hard to believe a year has already passed since we were installed at GAC here in Indy. It is really exciting though to see that we are growing older and that eventually I will leave and others will take my place. Anyways, Aubrey and Steve were at the hotel so I went and picked them up so they could check out the house and meet some of my brothers. We had to leave early though, because we (the Archons, Shawn, and Chad) went to dinner at the Rathskeller. It is a German restaurant downtown. It was so delicious. Then we just kind of chilled in the hotel all night. I was surprised when I found out that I had a room reserved for me at the Westin since I live in Indy, but it was nice to be with the other guys as well and not have to drive back and forth from the house to downtown for the training and such.

Saturday was an early morning. We went and got some pictures taken for the HQ stuff I believe, then it was off to Laurel Hall. A couple of the guys hadn't been there before, so it was time for a tour. After the tour we got right into training. A huge binder with lots of info and lots of speakers throughout the day. It was a lot of information to handle all at once, but I think once I've gotten a chance to sit down and look over it some more, I'll be good. That night we went to St. Elmos for dinner. I don't think I've ever had such good steak before. We all also got their shrimp cocktail. It was so good. (A little spicy, but good) Then the other Archons and I went out and just hung out around Indy.

Woke up Sunday morning and said goodbye to the other guys and then got back in my car and headed up to the house to get my stuff to move into my new apartment.

New Apartment
Move in day for me wasn't as smooth as I had hoped. Mom came down and I got all the stuff from the house into the apartment just fine, but then when it was time to go to the storage room to get the stuff from there, I realized I didn't have the storage room key anymore.

We searched all over for it and couldn't find it anywhere. It was probably the most frustrating thing that has happened in a long time. Felt bad, because I feel like mom came down for nothing and we got frustrated with each other a little I think. We went a picked up a few things though, and then she went home after we got all that stuff back into the apartment. I went back up to the hosue, becasue I was bored and when I went to get something out of my trunk...I found the damn key! The guys then helped me get the stuff out of my storage room which was a big help. Had dinner with them and then started unpacking everything.

It's taken a couple days to get it all done, but the apartment is definitely starting to look like an apartment now.
