Yay for aphi we got an awesome bunch of girls for our new pledge class :) so excited to get to know them! on a side note who told me they were going to make a float out of lincoln logs becuase i distinctly remember someone saying that and now with hurricane isabel i think i might want to make a floatation device and out of lincoln logs would be exciting...even though i've never played with them...but i've heard good things

what a day

tanmm@jmu.edu — Wed, 10 Sep 2003 04:34:13 GMT

the last time i wrote in this journal was in january so i decided that because i wanted this a long time ago i should make use of it! so today was really emotional for me and i dont get emotional at all. uh...people just need to stop being mean to other people and that would make my life easier and people should not complain about things that other people work very hard on. im not naming names because i dont want to be bitchy/get in trouble but take it this way i almost wanted to quit something. sigh...and than me and adam arent together anymore and i cant make friends with boys at jmu! maybe because i break pen caps and hit my head on tables when i bend down to pick something up...wait isn't that hot? no. definitely not...how am i supposed to get a grab-a-date like that...wait maybe if i leave a message on the agc's pager and talk instead of dialing my number i could get a guy...oh but no. ok and i have not worked out in a week! which is really making me cranky...i need those endorphins...haha so im going to put in my crest white strips now and than study for my calc quiz. good night-never frown because you never know who's going to fall in love with your smile :)

no packages

tanmm@jmu.edu — Mon, 17 Feb 2003 02:23:35 GMT

this big snow storm sucks a lot...i mean yes i get to have a lovely 4 day weekend but its boring if theres nothing to do here...i mean last night we played guess the song game for our entertainment! Also, i am package deprived and it makes me sad that the post office here lies to the students and post the hours as 10-1pm and than i get there roughly around 12 and there is no one there???? please i thought the post office had some sorta motto about this thing...well i am bored and jessica yelled at me for not writing in here so i am making her happy...ps GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST TOMORROW! and i am sorry that it rains all the time there! Also i am sad that i couldnt go visit richmond with Lar...and i have accomplished/done absolutely nothing this weekend so tonight/tomorrow i will try to get a lot of work done and be productive...oh god jessica i am not your cousin and i cannot write every single detail of my life in these things and im sorry i never write in here i stink at this!

"Ode to Melanie Tan"

Lets Start the Weekend

tanmm@jmu.edu — Fri, 11 Oct 2002 22:41:18 GMT

Ok I've had the worst week EVER! and that stupid psycho killer killed a guy in manassas!!!!thats where i live...so i finally realize really how scary it is and how tami felt...my mom called me and told me that everyone's paranoid now and that they like run in and out of buildings and my sister's school is on lockdown now b/c of the shootings...it's really not that fair that he can't be caught!! Anyways this week sucked so, this weekend is going to have to make up for it...last night was so much fun I really really like Alpha Phi and my Alpha and Phi sis' they're so awesome. We had a "mixer" with the roller hockey team...stop laughing...sike it wasnt that bad at all except there were a bunch of ASA girls and I was like ok? who invited them...but it was fun all in all...and then today i woke up at 7:30 for class saw it was pouring down rain and said screw it im going back to bed...i know im lazy...in fact i only got up once to go to dukes to get food and brought it back and ate it while watching good o'l TLC and then i slept and layed in bed in fact i was talking on line while laying in bed underneath the covers I LOVE MY BED its so comfy and then thats about it sleeping and laying in my bed all day long when i have tons of work I could have done! That was my Friday!

I hate myself

tanmm@jmu.edu — Wed, 09 Oct 2002 01:30:07 GMT

Today is the worstest day ever! wanna know why well first i got a 68 on my bio exam!!!! and i studied forever...at least three days for that damn test...and thats when i knew today was going to be a bad day because it definitely gets worst...next i go to gwrit and get my paper back a very depressing C...b/c she didnt like my thesis...isnt a thesis ur own opinion she said it was as strong as my argument or awgument as she would say it...R now W...maybe she should learn the difference i hate when she says thwee or wead its three and its read! sorry a little pent up anger... and no i dont like porn or weed! i swear thats all she ever wants to talk about in our class discussions! but then in history i have an exam and its going to be sooo hard...and i'm mad at this guy in my class-mike-he told me i didnt match today! because he was wearing a button down american eagle shirt with khakis and ugly tennis shoes and i told him he shouldnt wear those shoes with that outfit...sike im ok with that but the class sucked becuase im really nervous about the test! then the MOST EMBARRASSING thing ever happened...by the way got super glue anyone???...ok so before my meeting started i really had to pee so i went to the bathroom and when i came out the basement was filled with phis, so naturally i go to step over ppl and i fall down and i break my shoe my candies that i just got too! so EVERYONE in my sorority starts laughing at me and saying that im cute and funny! yah right because i try to trip all over myself as much as possible! tomorrow i have a quiz for chem at 7:15 in the freakin morning and a bio lab quiz! and thats going to be hard too not to mention a paper due on thursday! yikes! this day cannot get any worse! :(

tanmm@jmu.edu — Sun, 06 Oct 2002 00:15:44 GMT

YAY for parents weekend!!!! today i got to see my mommy daddy litle sis and my older brother...i reeeaaallly missed them so much! I really miss home too i can't wait to go home for fall break! that should be lots of fun...i want to see everyone again too like Lar!, Chris, Zach, Adrian n Billy-i can only imagine the trouble u guys have been in, katie, amber, ame, Jessica! :), paul, adam, pat, lyd kid, katie-lee, heather n jenn, justin, brit,, a-manda, catino, steffie! wow...i miss u all so much and im mad at those of u who aren't going to ohs homecoming game!!! Im making myself really depressed now...:( but its only two weeks away!!! My parents are mad at me! well they're disappointed at me which is probably worse...b/c i havent been doing so well in school lately. they want me to quit my sorority-Alpha PHi-but i really like it alot- and i feel like i can't quit because i feel like im already a sister kinda i really like the girls in my pledge class too they're so nice. they think sororities take up too much of my time and thats why im doing not so good in school! also if i dont get a 3.5 im outta the honors program-which will def. upset my parents...even though i didnt want to be in it! but i dont have the courage to fight back i always do what my parents want me to do...esp. my major they want me so badly to be a doctor...hence the bio major...but im kinda not sure what i really want to do well i'd like to own my own business even if it was a little coffee shop or restaurant or boutique i think that would be fun...but im scared to tell my mommy and daddy!!!! dont get me wrong i LOVE THEM TO DEATH!!! they're so awesome and im SOOO LUCKY! but i just wish they'd let me do what i want with my life sometimes!
