I found this kind of sad: we've only been on-campus for about a week and a half and, already, once it hits around 9:00pm, all of my friends and I disappear into our rooms to hit the books.
Speaking of friends, Caitlin crossed a line today. We were in the dining commons for dinner (with the rest of the group) and, as we were getting ready to leave, I suggested that we go grab some stuff for breakfast tomorrow morning. She agreed and got up from the table (along with Liz) to accompany me. Now, I can't remember the exact exchange of words, but she ended up calling me a "Jewish slut." My jaw dropped and I just stared at her in utter disbelief. I turned to the rest of our friends sitting at the table to gauge their reactions and caught Ashley's and her boyfriends expressions--they were just as shocked as I. I sputtered something like "Caitlin, that's.. no. You don't say things like that. It's not funny," and she just turned on her heel and walked away. I looked over again at Ashley and her bf, gaping.
I understand that Caitlin's sense of humor is kind of like that and she doesn't mean anything by it, but I was wholly offended. I don't think she'd react very kindly if I were to call her a "Trampy WASP," though I can't be certain (she does have an odd sense of humor).
Anyway, I haven't talked to her since she said it. I want an apology. Am I making too big a deal of it? Maybe..
In other news, I had stat homework to do tonight because I'm a supreme procrastinator and didn't do it yesterday when I did my hebrew homework (I enjoy hebrew homework, even though I'm terrible at it). I really, really hate statistics. Just thought you all should know that.
So we were supposed to have karaoke night tonight, but we ran into logistical issues with obtaining a karaoke machine and getting access to the lounge. So we had a "mini karaoke night" in our (being mine and Laurie's) room. I totally forgot to record it, but that's probably a good thing, since my voice was being una llorona tonight (it was a bit scratchy). I'll probably just record myself singing some other time and make that available to those (ahem) who want it.
A few of my friends and I have tossed around the idea of filming our own version of a Pussycat Dolls video for a "residence hall representation" contest--like, learn the dances and everything. We figured, what better to represent the all-girls dormitory than to film a sexy rendition of one of those songs, haha. We'd totally win the contest. I was thinking either Beep or Sway because the lyrics in the other two dance songs are just a little bit too.. meh, inviting? We don't want to look skanky, so we'd adjust accordingly (in dress and certain dance moves). We're still thinking about whether we'll do it at all.
(as a reference point: Sway -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwnTWvw8M9g . I can't link to the other two videos because of youtube being stupid with copyrighting now. If you really want to see them, go to yahoo music and just look for 'beep' and 'buttons.')
Lastly, I've been flipping through my latest issue of Latina magazine and damn.. it's so redundant. The articles that they have are always about "dressing for your curvy latina body" and "x reasons why it's great to be latina!" I'm getting sick of it. I think I'll just read Cosmo from now on.
Okay. Sleepy time for Raynita! :)
