   There Seems to be a Trend Here...
Another Tuesday, another post. Looks like it's becoming a trend. *shrugs* Luckily for you, some things have been going on that I will actually be able to talk about. I just don't know where to start. =P Lately there has been some whisperings of our theatre being torn down/sold due to the fact that the university doesn't want to power the old building that not many people use anymore. The thing is, people in the theatre club are throwing shit fits about it, wondering why the university could do such a thing to us. The incoming Vice President sent out an e-mail to all of us in the club telling us to all put suggestions in the student government suggestion box about keeping the building open. It doesn't make any sense to me at all, because even if everyone on campus put the same suggestion in the box, there is nothing that the student government can do about it...the university wants to make a business deal, not keep 20 or 30 college kids happy by keeping open the theatre that doesn't bring anything to the campus itself. I mean, yeah, it would be nice to be able to keep the building, but there is nothing we can do about it if the administration wants to sell it. That's all there is to it. I wish the people in the club would get their heads out of their asses and figure that out. Things would be so much easier that way. There is no logic behind what they are saying though, and it really bothers me. They think that going to the president and bitching is going to help. If the university wants to make a sound business decision, then there is nothing that we can do about it. It's as simple as that. We should be looking into the future to see what other options we have. We do not know when/if the selling of the building is going to happen, but it would be nice to be prepared in the event that it is, and no one wants to accept the fact that we are going to lose the building at some point in the near future. Stupid people will never cease to amaze me.
And speaking of stupidity, I came to a harsh realization today that almost made me cry. I realized that my half-assed work was getting better grades than the work that I actually spend a good amount of time on. I don't get the logic behind that, if there is any whatsoever, but it really bothers me. It's happened in a couple of classes so far. It makes me feel like the time that I have spent trying to better my work, my grades, and myself, have all been wasted, and it's rather disheartening.
This evening we had a ceremony for Alpha Phi Omega that was special to our chapter, and one of my favourites. It's a great bonding experience for all of the brothers and pledges, and although it is a long ceremony, I love it lots. It's something where you don't have to worry about what you say, because it is all said from the heart. I realized that tonight when I started talking about one of the symbols of the fraternity, and it made me start crying. I wasn't thinking about what I was saying before I said it, I just knew how I was going to start the mini-speech, and how it related, although I don't know if I ever got to how it related to the symbol due to my tears distracting me. Actually, I don't really remember what I actually said, to be perfectly honest. It was a good day, it was a bad day, but I will still and forever love my brothers.
