Live Passionately!

So the title of this blog has no relevance to anything. I just see it on this advertisement board every time I drive home from campus. Virginia is for lovers. :]

So instead of talking about how everyone should live passionately, I'm just going to tell you about my boring day. Hah! I tricked you! Now you have to read my blog post. Haha just kidding. Feel free to click that button on the upper right hand corner. For those of you who actually stuck around (wow, really?), I took my last official day of classes today! So did everyone else at Old Dominion. Only one final to take and that's not until Thursday! I got all week to prepare so I'll probably just chill out for now. Yea... I procrastinate. :[

After class I drove home, passed by that one sign, got home, and had to drive my mom to pick up her car cause she had it inspected earlier that day. By the time I dropped her off it was about 5:30PM and I had an induction into Omicron Delta Kappa at 7:00PM later tonight. I hadn't even gotten into my formal wear for the ceremony, and I needed to take another shower. It sucks even more when you have to rely on other people to get ready too! And my family is especially slow. After we all got home, it was 5:50PM. We needed to jet, especially when it takes me about 35-40 minutes to get to campus! Geeze, I didn't even know where this place was being held. I just knew it was at the Webb Center in the Rector's Room. Rector's Room? I don't even know. We managed to leave at 6:20PM. I was feeling pretty chill. That was until we hit traffic. Really? It was 6:30PM, where did all this rush hour traffic come from? Okay, so after having to take a different route there, I realized the clock in the car was 5 minutes ahead. Whew.

We got to the place and wow, there were only 5 inductees (including myself). Only 2 other people showed up though. I've been inducted into two other National Honor Societies and usually there are at least 25 people or so. Kind of strange, but I'm guessing the requirements for acceptance are a lot more strict. I felt especially important because since there were just the 3 of us sitting at the table, and our names came up in the speaker's speech for the induction ceremony. After all of us were pinned and recieved our certificates, we had the reception. Everyone kept coming up to me and shaking my hand. "Congratulations Scott". Hah, wow, everyone knew us by name. It was nice. Usually at these things, there are many other inductees so everyone just says congrats without the addition of a name. One lady even said she recognized me.

Me: Oh really? Where do you remember me from?
Lady: Oh I don't know... probably at Tropicana Smoothie! *laugh*
Me: Uhh... *forced laugh*

Haha, okayyy. So at the reception, I rejoined my family at their table and we just grabbed a small bite of what was available. Then my dad said he would like to go eat some Chinese. I was all for it! So after I chatted/thanked the ones who ran the ODU chapter of ODK, we left the building. But then my mom noticed the fountain outside and wanted to take pictures. So we did. :]





After what my mom called a looong walk all across campus (really though, we only walked past 3 of the buildings on campus haha), we drove to Jade Villa. They have the best dim sum. Too bad it was about 8:30PM. Dim sum really should not be restricted to brunch. So we get there, and I recognized one of the people working there. Took me awhile, but then I remembered who she was! I met her, Kristina, through Stacy. Then I found out the waiter who was serving us also knew Stacy. I swear, she knows everyone! Well, at least those who are Filipino. Haha. Minus Justin, our waiter, who turned out to be Chinese and Viet. Except he lived in the PI... so maybe he doesn't count. Haha.

Well that's all folks. Time to peace out, but before I do I'm going to put up this one picture text I sent to Stacy while inside Jade Villa's bathroom... yeaaa, the bathroom. :P



The toilet in the background is priceless. Haha. Peace!!
