Ambition should be my middle name. I have the desire to learn everything, to understand everything, and to be apart of everything. Sometimes this comes at a cost. This time, it came at the cost of my barely existent sanity. My marbles have been officially lost this time.(probably on ebay already) Here's a breakdown of the first two quarters of school:
Fall Quarter:
I started off the school year sick as a dog, i had flu-like symptoms for nearly a month covering week -2,-1,1,2,and even part of week three. During this time, I moved into a place with a very nice Jamaican lady and her two boys. Although they were a nice family, It was just too far and two expensive for me to stay there. I quickly found a new place that was about twice as close with an interesting feller named Joe. Hes a local, born and raised, and its worked out GREAT so far. (we'll see about the next 3 weeks) I spent the better part of fall quarter catching up, and trying to get my club back up and running after being away for over 6 months. Now about week 6, I decided I needed a bit of a change. It just so happened as I was walking past the post board and thinking how cool it would be to start a fraternity, (although realizing that I knew absolutely nothing about how to start one) I saw one post out of thousands, that simply said "Interested in starting a fraternity?"
This story tumbles out of control from there. I became one of the seven founding fathers of the Sigma Chi Omega Colony(to be named later) and have been woring hard at it ever since. I did go home for Winter break, which was a welcome relief from school, and the major stress it brings me. Cody and I enjoyed a few movies, Beat the new super mario brothers game on my parents new wii in 2 days, and just relaxed most of the time.
Winter Quarter:
The new quarter marked a beginning of the huge effort to get the numbers we needed to file for our DOI, (and currently our phase 1). Fraternity Life, more so planning and events and the like, has become a huge part of my contributions to the RIT community. I have continued still as the president of my club, working hard to take it to w whole new level, recruiting a ton of people (being that we lost quit a few) and making an effort to improve the overall structure of the club. New things to come:
Trips and tours to local companies, speeches by famous people, more projects and finishing old ones, formal documentation and an online presence, funding!!!!, and maybe even a trip to CES next year!
As recruitment chair I have spent a good chunk of my time trying to find new members, which is harder then it seems during week 8, winter quarter. We still have a few events coming up, yay, and I sincerely hope we can get the numbers of good, moral men for the betterment of the brotherhood.
So that is where I am at right now, nearly 6 months away from the last time I wrote, but it was worth the wait wasn't it?
Well, going to be getting up early, so I will continue the new as of late tomorrow. Heres a hint, Peace Corp, Universal Tutor, a baby, and the droid.
