Going to the gym and working out is one of my favorite activities. of course i am too lazy sometimes to go but i usually still do. and i live right of campus basically behing degroat, so its not a far walk at all to get there. the cortland gym sometimes sucks though. it seems like the tredmills are always full and you can never get an open one to use. and i feel like there is always a class or something going on the little studio part so i cant work on abs. but from time to time im able to do both when im there.
I hate that when im running all i do is stare off, and i feel bad because i think that other gym-goers might think im just straight up staring at them but its usually not the case lol. theres nothing really to look at besides all of the people there.
Today when i go, im hoping that it will be kind of dead because its the weekend and most people here are probably still sleeping like i most likely would be. So hopefully they just stay in bed and let me get my work out in. I guess i'll see how it goes.

The Boondock Saints
The Boondock Saints is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's about 2 Irish brothers who get into a fight on St. Patrick's Day at their local bar. The guys that the brothers and a couple of their friends fought were a group of Russians from a Russian mob. They think that they killed the Russians, until they wake up the next morning to the Russians breaking into their apartment to get them. The brothers actually kill them this time and later turn themselves in to the Boston Police. They arent charged with anything because tis considered self-defense.
Since they took the beepers and cell phones of the Russians, one of the brothers checks the message on the beeper and the Russians were supposed to meet with other mob members that day. So the brothers decide to go to this meeting and kill all of them lol. It seems like it would be a pretty graphic movie but its really not that bad. The boys continue on and kill bad people such as murderers, pimps, mobsters, and etc. They become known as The Saints of Boston.
A sequel to this movie just came out a couple weeks ago and i've been dying to see it but just havent had the time yet. I love this movie and could watch it basically everyday.

visiting other school
This past weekend I went to visit one of my best friends at her school. She goes to SUNY Albany, and I had never been there before. So I was really excited to go visit her. She is in the schools a capella singing group called Serendipity. There is absolutely no background music except for the beats that the beat-boxers make. They had a showon Saturday night and it was absolutely amazing. They were all such great singers! And then after the show they usually have an after party at one of the girls' houses, so we went to that. It was a lot of fun and I was able to meet the male a capella group called the Earth Tones. I was able to see them sing in the schools' Christmas concert on Sunday afternoon. They only sang a couple Christmas songs but they were also very talented.
Besdies seeing my friend sing I was also just really excited to go to the school. I've really only visited I think 1 other school besides this, so i was just pumped. Albany is sooo different from Cortland. To go to any house parties you either have to drive yourself or take the city bus and get off at a stop a couple streets away from the house you're going to. And if you don't have an Albany i.d. then you have to pay $1.50 to ride each way. AND the taxi rides are a whole other story. Well everyone knows that Martin's Silver Star Taxi is the best taxi service in America and usually you only get charges $1 per ride. But in Albany, aa taxi's normal rate is about $3-$4 per person. And if you happpen to be riding by yourself it's more like $9. It seems absolutely insane.
But it was really fun to go visit another school and i definitely plan on going back soon.

Finals
'Tis the season for finals to be starting.
This is when students start not giving a shit about school and just focus on when they can go home for christmas break. It's one of the most annoying times of the school year. Midterms aren't really so bad just because you still have another half of a semester to sit through. Finals are kind of sad that you know you're going to be leaving your best friends for just about a month, which always seems like an eternity when you are home.
I am glad to say that i only have 4 finals this semester. Because of my academic writing class, we just have the paper. So my schedule isnt too bad for next week. I get to go home on thursday, which is good because at home I have to be back at work on friday. I can't wait to be home and somewhat stress free from school. I don't think that parents have any idea how stressfull this shit really is. I mean neither of my parents went to college, so they don't have a clue.
And i just love christmas! It's kind of a big holiday for my family. We all get together christmas eve and do a little gift exchange. But once christmas and new years are done with, time goes by realllll slow before it hits time to come back to school. I don't like to rush time, but being home is so annoying. My family just gets on my nerves and i want to punch them all. Summer break is even worse, but usually i'm not really home that much during the summer because of my job.
Well good luck to everyone on finals!

Date Party
So most of the teams/organizations here at Cortland have what you call a "Date Party." It's basically like a semi-formal that you used to have in high school except at a bar. Ours is this coming friday and I'm really excited to go! We usually start off by having dinner and snacks at our house, and take pictures with our friends and dates in front the christmas tree that we have set up. Then after that we are going to Stone Lounge.
The Bar parties are always 18 to get but obviously 21 to drink. This is really good for the girls and guys that either aren't 21 or don't have a fake i.d. Although when you have a huge black X on your hand, you are being watched like a hawk the whole night by the bouncers and the bartenders. Last year I went in as under 21 and i got the X's on my hands. I thought I could be really smooth and wash my hands off in the bathroom a couple minutes after I had been there. But when i asked one of the servers for a drink she asked for my wrist band, and ironically "I couldn't find it" haha, and one of the bouncers saw and told me that i wasnt allowed to wash off the X's in the bathroom lol. So I was caught but they actually didn't do anything to me.
This year however I am still not 21 but i definitely won't be going in as under 21. It's such a hassle. I'm really excited to go, because I'm bringing my good friend Justin that goes here. We usually have fun whenever we go out together so it should be crazy. And there will be so many people from all different frats and sports teams that will be going.
It's kind of like a unified night for all of Cortland. Because no ones cares what organization everyone else is from. Everyone is there just to have a good time and basically get drunk. The $20 to get in kind of puts a damper on it, but it always turns out okkkk :)
If anyone else has a Date Party this weekend, Have Fun! and I'm sure I'll see you out!
