Also, last Wednesday I went to a dinner at the Chili's restaraunt with some future Rhodes freshmen, hosted by a couple of current students.

Now, I am not fat, although I will joke of my fatness because I'm not skinny either. Let me tell you that I was probably the fattest person there, which means most of the girls were sticks. The one I sat next to for the most of the duration (she was a hostess, who got up and switched tables with the other hostesses near the end) was extremely skinny, and ordered a salad and water. I also ordered water, but only because I'm a cheapskate who didn't want to spend the extra money on a Coke. But I got their chicken fingers, which are divine, and I cleaned my plate (except for the corn, because I don't like the corn). Whereas these ladies didn't even finish their salads, and the girls that ordered an actual meal sent half of it back. CHILDREN ARE STARVING. SIDDOWN AND EAT YOUR GODDAMN FRIES. THEY'RE DELICIOUS. I know, I know, I didn't eat my corn--but I ate everything else, and usually when I don't finish a meal at a restaraunt I take it home to finish later.

Additionally, the same girl I sat next started trying to tell me how awful Search (one of the humanities programs, which has a worldly take on culture--you cover all kinds of religions and societies) was compared to Life (has mainly a Bible focuse), which I soon realized was because she only wanted to take a course Bible-related. Fuck the other religions! Learning about world cultures is too hard!

She started talking about her church, and while I was only half paying attention, I did her hear get into something about parents at her church becoming upset over a video concerning homosexuality. She mentioned also a group of people who were once homosexuals, but had been 'saved.' Holy crap, you guys. I wanted to say 'You know, I'M a lesbian...' but I lacked the cajones.

Besides that, they touched several times on the topic of people who left Rhodes for University of Memphis, presumably because of academic pressure. Or rather, because they spent all their time partying, since allegedly there's a party EVERY NIGHT especially if you're a freshman, so they flunked out. Since I hate parties, I think I'll be OK.

Actually I'm hoping there will be a good number of party people in Williford (that's the name of my building). That means no one will be around when I want to sit in the social room and watch Adult Swim on weekends. =P (hoping, of course, that Rhodes cable includes Cartoon Network ^_^;)
