SG meeting tonight
It was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad and I mean baaaaaaaaaaaaad damn... so much for my belief in democracy. I wonder what the Oracle says tommorrow | | Wednesday, January 25th, 2006 | | 11:23 pm |
Hey ya'll
online poll: what do you think of the $30000 concert in greek village? oh and if anyone wants to be in the focus group that decides what the new on-campus housing is gonna look like, just let me know... and well my life has been delightfully uneventful.

drinking chess versus Mike
Ok so since I wrote this Mike said that he would take shots with me. So yeah Im posting drunk. We bought an f... half Gallon of Vodka for 22.95$ and it was kinda a piece of shit... Mike just called me the "Vodka chess champion of the world". He happens to be lying on the floor in my common area, without any feel of his sensory abilities. Anyway, we started doing 2-3, where I take 3 shots and he takes 2, since I am Russian and all. I did 12 and he did 8, and then we played drinking chess. Anyway, he ended up drinking 24 shots, and I did 20... I basically desimated him in chess. He is so fucked up it is not even funny. He is currently singing a song "head, shoulders, knees and smth" "I just farted" "shit" "haha" "and it was on your side of the suite" "I am upset cause I cannot control my body" "have you ever seen anybody on the groung but with a complete ability to talk" Me:not really "I am like a medical miracle for 99.99% of cases" I would take his picture, but I promised to comrade Stalin. In order to make that promise Mike dragged his ass to my room and locked me out while I was getting the camera. "I kicked Margaeux ass in the ability to stand" Ok so in conclusion I had to drag his ass across the bathroom area (which in itself was nasty since he puked in it... So yeah, right when I was about to get him in the door, the dude is like "Oleg puke". I jumped away and he puked all over the fucking shower area. All the fuck over it. So it is f...ing nasty right now. And he was covered in his puke. So yeah, thats where he stood up and was all like I will take my shirt off, and wipe my puke with it, and I was like shit this is nasty shit. So yeah he should be sleeping now. And I am off to bed as well. Good night Shit this is not very coherent, but hell I had 20 shots it is 2am and english is my 3rd language. So there...

Semester wrap up
So Fall 2005 is over. How was it in a nutshell: I guess pretty decent. I finally got my florida residency in the beggining of the semester, so I could take studying in college easier, and actually pay my way through college. I don't know if that is corelated to having the lowest GPA since I ve been to college... Well 3.7 is not that bad. (assuming thats what I got). I will just be a wake up call to stop procrastinating. The amount of time I lose procrastinating is truly stagerring. As far as getting in shape goes... Well not so much. I am actually above 220 lbs now - my all time high weight is around 225. Of course I got stronger and benched 300lbs, which was pretty cool. This is where I make another resolution to lose weight and finally get in shape... What is it 5th and counting? As far as student organisations go, chess club was kinda a big bummer. Most people would quit after I would beat them, so we recycled quite a few people. But at the end of the year I am still ahead of everyone: 3-2 against Kyle, 3-0 against Margaeux's dad (the chessmaster), 6-0 or so against that nerdy kid, 100-0 or so against Mike (he gave up after a while). SG has pretty much been a big disapointment. It is not that the people are bad or corrupt - they just treat SG as a political science internship - and then are surprised that it is not working. But the funny thing is - after taking so many leadership and political science classes they would learn to LISTEN!!!! That is essentially all there is to it. The people in SG I still respect are all not poly-sci majors. RHA went pretty well. As far as recruitment and retention goes, its probably not a stretch to say that has been the best year ever. Here are some quotes I ve got from people who have been involved way longer than me (at the end of summer): "The strenth of RHA is measured by how many people are actively involved in it" Kerry "In a good year only about 1/4 of the senator stay throughout" Kerry "8 governors? Haha, you will be lucky to get 3" Andy "General Assembly are blind Mice, they will aprove anything" Ric Good 80% of senators are still involved and not 1/2, and I actually got an average of 8 Governors attend my meetings, the previous record being around 3. No high level position stayed vacant for more than a week, which is again about the best it has been. We have recruited a few very promising people - I would feel confident if Rose became the president after me. We had a fair amount of programs, and building councils had quite a few, making it probably the 2nd best programming year... After last year when I was running it, of course! As far as our proposals go, we got laundry machines fixed (hopefully for good), and the communication boards which should be pretty cool next year, and a few minor things. I will see if I can get the visitation rule changed next year - that would really be a great accomplishment. We flexed some political muscle when the mandatory freshman rule got posponed till next year. Overall it was pretty cool, especially after I stoped worrying so much about it.

Vector Calculus... The climax
Well I wrote my last Vector Calculus test. I hate my teacher with a passion. 10 questions in 2 hours, when each question would take him 40 minutes to do on the board. And the odds are he wouldn't even do it right. Anyway with the way my grades are looking I will get a B with a 75, and a B+ with a 90, A- with a 99. Realistically I got an 85-87 B. So much for my perfect math GPA. Le sigh. Well to be honest there is not much I could have done. I studied fairly diligently throughout the semester, and very diligently this last few weeks, havent missed a class, and haven't read the oracle in class... that much. On the bright side the top grade in the class is probably around 91-93, so there might be a curve. You never know with this teacher... He is an #%&^. But the thing is - he would fail his f... tests. The man cannot even do 27+7 and 34/4 in his head. WTF? PHD in math! Mike could do it, and well you know... Current Mood:  angry | | Wednesday, December 14th, 2005 | | 2:56 pm |
this shit is funny
 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last Monday I bought porn for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) commodorejessie (10 points). Last Tuesday I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). In April I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). In October I helped zelita42 across the street (6 points). Last Wednesday I ruled Iran as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points).
Overall, I've been nice (1043 points). For Christmas I deserve a shiny red ball!
Sincerely,

Gym n shit
So today I benched 300 pounds. Well benched is probably not quite the right word since I only moved the bar like 4 inches down and then up. But it is still pretty cool. I guess this semester wasn't a total failure as far as getting in shape goes. And our ice-cream program went pretty sweet. Well thats all for now. Back to studying/video games | | Friday, December 9th, 2005 | | 11:26 am |
Partay!!!
So yesterday was Michael's 21 b-day surprise party. I was sceptical at first on whether it was going to be a "party" party, but the amount of booze was quite impressive. Margeaux claimed that she never gets drunk, so I challenged her to a "shot per shot with me. She was gone after 6 or 7. Non-stop in about 15 min though. She kept giving me ideas on how to get rid of the other chess club, and most of them involved sticking burning chess pieces into... hm places were they dont belong. Pam got trashed after 4, and kept walking around like "shit I am drunk. Its scary I have no control" and I was like "well at least you are not stripping and spitting on crocodiles" Then I had a few shots to communism with some random people... It was kinda sad how low my alcohol tolerance has gone, since I didn't really drink this semester. I was pretty happy after 2 drinks and 10 shots. How am I gone stand up to Dimitri, how?????!!!!! Well I have a little more than a week to prepare. Oh there is that whole finals thing too. | | Thursday, December 8th, 2005 | | 12:38 am |
Vector Calculus... the drama
I just solved the "problem of the year" for my Vector Calculus extra credit assignment. Considering no-one has solved it in few weeks (and they actually bought the book and do their homework) thats pretty cool. But guess what: it took me about 3 hr: 1hr and a half to derive the chain rule for derivatives of composite functions (using my all powerfull calculator), 1hr 20 minutes for "study breaks" and about 10 min to solve the actual problem. If he would have taught us the chain rule like he should have - it wouldn't be a problem. He just sucks as a teacher, and the book sucks, and the material is fairly complicated (this is the last Math core class). So yeah this is the combination for f..ing up. I don't know what I got on the last test, but the odds are, I am no longer matematically able to get an A. But considering the extra credit, I may have a chance... I will just ask him to give me what I get on the final. All or nothing. Wish me luck with that At least it is a boost to my self esteem Current Mood:  we'll see | | Tuesday, December 6th, 2005 | | 1:12 am |
Future
So today I kinda got a "slap in the face". I wanted to run for Florida Association of Residence Halls Director, or exec board, and be an RA next year. And Ric was like: Valerie said: If you are elected and get hired, you will have to choose one or the other. Cause aparently it is too time consuming. After all the time I put in now. Fuckers. But that is not the point. If FARH position, which is at most 5 hr/week is "too much", it is probably a bad thing to mention my 20hr/week research job. I kinda thought I would have to decrease it to 15hr/week, and I would be fine, but aparently not. If I decrease the hours I work further, well I will not actually earn much extra income from being an RA. And there is no way I am quitting my research job, cause it is a sweet f..ing job, and I will be writing my thesis on it. And it pays better then RAing. So basically I will not be an RA next year. That being said here are my options: 1. Run for reelection for RHA president, and maybe FARH state board. 2. Run for something in SG senate. 3. Drop out of USF leadership altogether and do other shit like chess and aikido. On 3 - I ve gotten kinda used to being important. I sit on Marshall Center board of Associates - a sweet line for the resume, and I can choose any university wide committee to sit on. I ve met like everyone who is someone in USF already. I just like being at least somewhat involved. "Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat" On 2 - Shit I can barely stand SG now, when I like most of the people in leadership positions. Next year if Ch. or K. become president.... It is gonna be f...ing bad. Except I ve got enough shit on both of them to file for impeachment but still. That leaves 1. I havent decided yet, but it is looking more and more likely. Current Mood: shit | | 1:01 am |
Challenge
I have just been challenged! To a mortal drinking standdown. Me vs Dimitri (from my summer posts). Aparantly he has gotten much more alcohol tolerance, and is now challenging me to a game of drinking push ups (20 push ups, then a shot). Till one of us falls down. If I ever wanted to test my alcohol tolerance this is it. That boy is a Georgian drinking machine. This is gonna be f..ing good. No mercy!!! shit I better get some practice! Current Mood: not yet but soon | | Wednesday, November 30th, 2005 | | 12:38 am |
SG
Well here is what happened. Student Goverment today took 3 hours and 41 minutes (and I am not kidding). So what did we do: First of all the Marshall Center people were all like here is the project for the marshall center. It kicks ass. And if you have any ideas go to Julie or Oleg. And I was like shit I like being important. And in general people laughed at my jokes. It is almost if they liked me. So then they had "Supervisor of Elections" elections. Andrew Read was running - the guy who ran against me for RHA president at one point, as well as 2 freshman. So anyway we did the whole questions and answers spiel, and Andrew wasnt really trying, but anyway then came discussion. Man, he got slaughtered! Mike Myers - the fratboy running in the last election stood up and gave a whole speech on how Andrew sucked. At one point I stood up and defended him, but then I was like F... it. If he didnt feel like explaining what happened then, than its his own fault. So yeah he lost bad, and now the SG elections are in hands of a freshy. My prediction - a frat team will emerge, bend all the rules, and win the presidency. And then we will all be forced into fratlife (okay that one was exagerated). Oh and "Friends of Chess" - the rival chess club got their funding tabled, cause my club is chess related as well. Funny isnt it. Ok I am off to jog. Current Mood:  restless | | Sunday, November 27th, 2005 | | 1:08 am |
ok, seriously!
So me and Mike went jogging today, and ended up talking about politics. So he ended up defending the right to torture for us troops. So anyway it got to a point where I was like "Mike, I cannot believe we are even having this conversation. So lets not have this conversation." After which he spent about 10 minutes talking at me while I was enjoying (ok maybe not enjoying) a game of chess. Ah oh well. At some point I just have to stop arguing with the guy. I mean I dont mind arguing, but torture? Anyway that was just weird, especially since he doesn't listen. On the bright side, I read Modern Algebra up to the end of the semester, and did all the homework as well. So basically I don't even have to go to class. Except for the quizes and the fact that it is f...ing confusing. But Vector Calculus remains a major problem. Current Mood: blah | | Sunday, November 20th, 2005 | | 1:04 am |
basically
So basically I ve been feeling like shit today. I went to the USF soccer game yesterday, and it was freezing cold, and well I was the only person in a t-shirt there. So I pretty much woke up with a nasty cold, and just wandered around my room. But then Pam totally saved me with some Hot toddys. Nothing like 4 shots of brandi to make you feel better. Well I am off to bed, and I am gonna convince myself that I will be better tommorrow. Current Mood:  sick | | Tuesday, November 15th, 2005 | | 4:10 pm |
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The Vector Calculus test was f.... ing crazy!!!!!!!!!!! It is not that it has any advanced concepts - not really. It is just that the teacher didn't check the answers before the test, so they are freaking nasty! If you have 10 problems in 120 minutes, each involving triple integrals in up to 5 dimensions, you better check that the numbers cancel out nicely. The answers for the integrals had 6 digit primes divided by 7 digit primes!!!!!! And for one integral, he messed up a few numbers, so even the alpowerful TI 92+ calculator could only give an aproximation. TI 83s would just freeze... And we had to do them by hand! Current Mood: pissed off | | 1:59 am |
Moral dillemma
So I was forced with this moral dillemma today. Mitch - my ncc (exec board of RHA) was basically not doing his job well, so everyone and their mom told me to fire him. So I had this literally 2 hour conversation with him, about how he should perform his duties and shit, so that was fun. Well after hearing him out I deceided to give him a second chance. I realized, that I haven't given him as much attention as I have to the other e-board members, partly because I dont know his job, and partly because I consider him an arrogant a....hole (much in agreement with most other people). While I am not required to give him any attention at all, it would have been fair. Would things have been different if I helped him in the beggining - I dont know. Will he change and be better next time - we'll see. Does he have potential? - definitely. Do most people hate him? - with a passion. But this was the first truly hard choice I had to make as a leader. I hope I made a good one. Was I too soft? Only time can tell. In other news after not seeing Mabel for a month or so, I bumped into her 3 times today. Must be a sign... Jk lol, but that was kinda funny And after talking to Mitch, I spent 2 hours debating Mike on some random shit, so it is now 3 in the morning, and I have a test in 7 hours that I am absolutely not ready for. Le sigh... Current Mood:  sleepy | | Tuesday, November 8th, 2005 | | 2:15 am |
chilin
So what happened today? Well I got all my 2nd test back, and I am at a pretty comfortable 94, 96, 96 ie A average in all the classes. While I dont break the curve like I used to, I am involved in a lot more stuff now. The mandatory housing rule has been officially delayed a year, with the administration taking all my/RHA sujestions on the rule, and housing in general. To the point where I was like WTF? politics is not supposed to be this easy, is it? Anyway, that one less thing for me to worry about. Today again was one of those days when I didnt even have time to eat dinner, but its all good - go cookies n pizza. Man I am gonna be fat by christmas! And Ric officially acknowledged that he was wrong and I was right on one of the issues - I didnt know that was possible. Oh and I fired a few people from RHA today, which was surprisingly kinda fun. Maybe I should lead a banana republic one day? Overall a good day. Current Mood: accomplished | | Saturday, November 5th, 2005 | | 1:51 am |
Drop date
Well I guess I was nervous for nothing. My Modern Algebra test went pretty well, or so I hope. Hopefully I am back at A average after it. My economics test was a healthy 96, which considering I haven't studied for shit (as in not opened my notebook even. Not to mention reading the text book. Cause I didn't buy it) is pretty good. I went to the Marshall Center Board of Asociates meetings (I am part of that now), and since the catering services messed up and we had to "settle" for Top of the Palms food, I got 2 free passes to freshfood. So ya'all better be nice to me and I ll treat you to dinner. lol Oh and I recruited Sarah into my IM volleyball team that is still undefeated. Overall a good day. Current Mood: sleepy | | Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005 | | 2:41 am |
Sweet
I have just officially owned Mike in a political debate. To the point where he admited the error of his ways. Excellent... Oh and RHA won our first volleyball game. But boy do those kids need practice! Current Mood:  happy | | Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 | | 12:52 am |
Halloween Bash and shit
Well today was the Haloween Bash. It went okay I guess. Out of all exec board member only Rose was there - ironically one of 2 freshman on the e-board. I guess I found a weakness - I cant be a good boss and a friend at the same time. If that is even possible. Chase was there for a little bit but left afterward. Ironically this was the first event I saw Ric stay at for more than 30 minutes. He actually helped clean up, cause all the programming people left halfway through. Ric seemed all exited about "It went great" "good job" blah blah. I mean we had 100+ people, but it doesnt compare to some of the events I had last year. It just made me think that the events in the past weren't as spectacular as I was led to believe. The Oracle actually published something on the mandatory housing rule today. Of course about 70% of the article was about Eta being closed (WTF, they just found out? It has been closed for 3 month) and the other 30% included a quick blurb on the housing rule and an interview with Dorie Paine, aparently quite outdated. Well, I will see if there is any reaction at all. If there is, I guess I ll lobby against it, if not, well I need some rest. Time will show. IM Volleyball is coming up. I practiced with Logan today, and I still have my serve, and spike. So it should be fun. I am sooo ditching SG to go to the first game. Current Mood: tired |
