Yesterday was the most embarrassing day of the entire week, with exception of today, in which I mistook Garage D for B. Ah well...

But anyway. Moving on.

Yesterday, I also realised that my ex strongly reminds me of Joseph Stalin...yes, THAT Joseph Stalin, the one and only. You know, the one who killed more people than Hitler during the war? LOL. Actually, that's not funny. But I'm dead serious, though. If you compare his profile photo to a photo of Stalin, the resemblance is eerily uncanny. All he would need is a thick curly moustache, a Soviet uniform, and the hymn of the Soviet Union playing in the background, and he'd be completely set. Also, I forgot Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin, and other "notable" Bolsheviks. And he would need to cut his hair.

Next time I see him, I'll be like, "Hey, Comrade Stalin! How's Soviet Russia doing?"

I told G and another friend, Andrew, and they both laughed at this. Haha. I wonder if I should tell him, though...but I am definitely sure of one thing. Whenever I see him now, the Soviet anthem is going to be playing in my head, and I'm going to start worrying if I'm going to be a victim of the Great Purges or something like that.

Well, I felt like one yesterday after Physics.

Alas, it's time for the semester to begin. I'm eagerly awaiting buttered bagels and cappuccinos tomorrow morning. Ahahaha!

Tonight it's time to get back into the sorority grind, which means chapter meetings, doing service and raising money for worthy causes, and wearing letters every Wednesday, because Wednesday is Letter Day at our university, evidently. I have my first chapter meeting of the semester this evening at nine, and I'm kind of looking forward to it. Kind of.

Even though I'm Greek, I've actually managed to keep a bit of individuality in check...by which I mean my sense of fashion and style. I'm not into the large jackets that most of my sisters wear, I plan to get a blue and pink jersey instead of the maroon and white the others are used to ordering, and my dream gift is to get a Vera Bradley bag with my letters on it. Like, seriously.

I know the colours mean something, but this is my jersey we're talking about, after all. It's what I have always wanted.

In other news, I've been wondering if I should ask my ex-turned-friend if he wants to hang out during the semester. Kind of stupid, I know. But he has stated that we are friends...and I expect him to go through on his word if he really wants us to be friends. You can't just be friends with someone in spoken word, you have to actually make the effort to be friends. In other words, actions speak louder than words. Always have, always will.

I've also started highlighting my Stat Methods textbook, just to get a head start on reviewing the first chapter.

Today was a pretty good day...my activities entailed textbook shopping (my classes start on Monday), going into the lab (as usual) and doing some coding, listening to Gossip Girl music on YouTube (I found the next song I'm going to download, LOL), and just looking through the first chapter of my Stat Methods in Psychology book before reading it.

While I was in the lab listening to music and working on coding, I decided, rather randomly, to check out every college Greek's (LOL) favourite website, GreekRank.com. GreekRank is a place where college Greeks are, basically, allowed to bash each others' sororities or fraternities, and it is an especially popular (though repulsive) site to go to at my university.

I should be fortunate that my sororities don't have pages on our university's GreekRank page, because the sororities (or the majority, anyway, which are like Panhellenic sororities) that are actually on there take bashings right and left. Here are a few examples (and NO, I most definitely didn't write these):

"you girls got REALLY ugly. good luck in fall rush"

"They smoke...a lot. :/ biitchy as hell"

"so who's the pregnant girl?"

"Worst rush experience, everyone always used this house as a bathroom break. You girls have no rush experience and anyone who wants can come back to your house."

"I hope you're looking forward to Spring rush 2010! hahahahahahah c.oke heads."

"lol too bad all the girls you get after 'dominating' will drop, and you'll have to 'dominate' SPRING recruitment "

Yeah, I'm not going to give out any more examples. If you want to see them, go to the website itself...all in all, it's pretty sick.

What makes me even more repulsed, though, is the fact that people are still posting shit on there. I mean, do they have nothing better to do? I highly, highly doubt that. There are the visitors who say, "Quit posting shit on here and stop bashing each other" but I don't think the others are really listening, or reading, for that matter. They're still doing it, like they always have been.

A quote from Gossip Girl comes to mind: "If you want to be in this world, Jenny, then people will talk." This quote could not be any truer in the Greek world. But it doesn't need to be done on GreekRank. So...

If you want to talk shit about a sorority or fraternity, don't do it on GreekRank. Greek rivalries and such should definitely, definitely stay offline. And for those who keep doing it...get off your flattened asses and do something way more productive, like shopping and working out! (And also, working on your sisterhood or brotherhood, whining about how bad it is isn't going to make it any more improved.)

Thanks for reading.
