New Things

Hey everyone!!

I have no clue where to begin this week, but here we go....

Throughout the week, I caught up on my studies, met new people, gained friendships, and received a new roommate.

On Friday, I went to the basketball tournament here on campus, it was a great time, and of course GC won girls and boys. The men's basketball games are a lot more exciting for me than the girls, but I support both because I just love basketball. Unfortunately, I had to go work at the REC (the fitness and recreation center) here, for like an hour. Then I went back to the basketball game. After the game, I went to play Mafia in the chapel, sponsored by GAC (Georgetown Activities Council). They plan all the fun activities that we have here on campus. Playing Mafia in the chapel is really scary. We played from like 10PM-1AM. It was really fun. Then I went back to my room and attempted to watch a movie. Definitely didn't actually watch the movie because I was really tired. I woke up at like 4AM and turned the DVD player off.

On Saturday, I had to wake up really early because the band had to play for the VIP day (Visit in Person Day), perfect time to tour campus and meet students and professors. I definitely wasn't awake, so I had to get a cup of coffee, bad idea. After one cup, I went crazy; I completely forgot how sensitive i was to caffeine.

After the band brunch we had, my plan was to go back to my room to take a nap before the game because I had to play at that to. So I go back to my room, and right as I close my eyes I get a knock on my door and it was Grant. Grant was like, "Hey man did Ticha (RD of Anderson) tell you I'm moving in here? Is that ok?" I was like, "Yeah. Sure man." So I got a new roommate. I was pretty excited. Even though I got acquainted with being by myself, I'm glad I got a roommate because it could get lonely at times. Plus, my roommate is someone that I know and he's like one of my best friends here at GC! So my recommendation to every student who is think about attending Georgetown, either room with someone you already know or really get to know your roommate before you come to Georgetown. I thought I knew my roommate at the beginning of this year because I communicated with him a lot before I came to Georgetown, but he was the complete opposite of what I expected. It’s rare to never talk to your roomate before you come here and all of sudden y'all are best friends.

So, after the football game, which we won of course, I chilled in my room then I went to watch some more GC basketball here on campus because of the tournament. After the tournament my bro, Z. Bizzle bought "Call of Duty, Black Ops". I don't really play action games but it was awesome! We played until like 2AM and I completely forgot it was Saturday and we had church the next day.

After church on Sunday, I went to the music building to practice a ton because I had a big piano test on Monday. Now, on Sunday night, I played Ultimate Frisbee in the REC for the FIRST TIME and it was awesome!! After playing ultimate for 2 hrs I went to shower and my plan was to go to sleep. That didn't happen. Definitely went to HONGS at 2AM and didn't get back to GC until 3AM, and I had a 9:00 class this morning :( but other than the waking up early it was an awesome end to a really great weekend.

Ok, well that's all I have for this week, I'm really excited to go home next week!! :)

Zach Galifianakis: "You better check yourself before you wreck yourself."- Due Date

So, I found out my thesis paper for foundations is due on Wednesday, even though I have 3 of the 5 pages done I still don't think it’s that good.

On Friday, I only had 3 classes (music theory, foundations, and band) and work which were great. After band, I went to Doc Pete's house for a strategic meeting, I was the only freshmen there, and I felt pretty honored. That's the type of relationships you develop with your professors here at GC, they will welcome you into their homes. After the meeting we had to play at the girls’ basketball game. We obviously won again (LET'S GO GC!). It was my first basketball game experience with the grrr....band. It was great. I'm pretty sure the opposing team wanted to kill us after we were very annoying and loud. We kept saying, "dribble, dribble, PASS, PASS" and every time they shot the ball we screamed. We made fun of the coach, especially when he gave plays out,  but I digress. After the game, I was very tired and it was freezing too. That was the first time it snowed here. It was nice but I wasn't prepared for it. I only brought two jackets up here, none of which help my freezing situation.

Saturday, I woke up at like 12, and had brunch with some friends. Then I went back to my room and talked to my mom for like 45 minutes. It was great. I had to get off the phone because LSU was coming on and I can't talk to her and focus on the game at the same time. LSU obviously won, we are definitely going to the National Championship this year. GEAUX TIGERS! I found out that GC won also and we are MSC Champions now! I went to dinner with my bro Z. Bizzle. After dinner we tried to study in the LRC but they were closing as we walked in so we went to Asher (math and science building) to study. If you are thinking about math or a science major you will spend most of your time in there. We stayed in there for like 3 hours studying and doing papers. I got a call from Evan at about 7:00, asking me if I knew where my friend Cody was, I obviously didn't know. So I went looking for him. He was locked out of his room. It kind of sucked for him because he was supposed to be playing with the Lexington Philharmonic for the opera we had on campus (which I heard was really good). After that I was going to get pizza and DQ with Cameron, Z. Bizzle, and Big John. I didn't go because I went to see Due Date, which is the best movie of 2010. It was very funny; I didn't know Robert Downey Jr. was that funny. The best part was sitting next to the loudest guy in the entire theater, I laughed at him more than the entire movie.

On Sunday, I said this was going to be my productive day, and it kind of was. After getting out of church at GBC (Georgetown Baptist Church), I went to brunch with some friends then I went to the LRC (the library) and finished almost half of my thesis paper, I was really proud of myself. I went back to my room and watch some NFL games, and of course WHO DAT? Nation received another win; we might be on our way to another Super Bowl. I was really happy when I saw the Cowboys loose again. It's great saying, "HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?" to my friends in Texas! I missed the cafe for dinner so I went to the Grille and ate with Sizemore for a little while, then I went back to Big John and Z. Bizzle's room to watch Sweeney Todd (which is one strange movie) and Get Him to the Greek (hilarious movie).

Well that's how my weekend went; now if I can get through these next two weeks of college, I will be golden. I have a lot of meetings, test, and papers this week. This is also the week we do our class schedules for next semester, 18 hrs. here I come. I'm pretty excited to go home for Thanksgiving; hopefully I'll be a vegetarian when I get back to G-Town!

That's all I have, until next week....

GC Tigers!!

Halloween/Family Weekend at GC!

Well this week was a pretty busy week, lots of studying, so that the weekend would be wide open for fun things to do. Earlier in the week, Ticha(RD in Anderson, great guy) talked to me about organizing a Spring Break Mission Trip to Louisiana. I thought that was pretty awesome! I'm very excited about that. On Thursday, after a bunch of meetings and tutoring, it was time to relax and have fun, so I went to the Knight/Anderson Hall Mixer. I had a great time there. Then I watched a little bit of Boondock Saints (one of the best movies ever) with Grant, Zac, and Hannah(my FFG mom) before I had to go help set up for the Haunted House which was on Friday night.

On Friday, I had to wake up early in the morning to play for elementary school kids. I got a kick out of that. Those elementary school kids thought they were at a rock concert, they were banging there heads, among other things. Definitely worth waking up at 7:00AM. When we left they were like, "you guys ROCK!" I also got to miss class to! :) I talked to my music theory professor/adviser about making Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia (music fraternity) active again here at GC. This fraternity you don't have to play an instrument you just have to have an interest in some type of music, its also a great way to put GC School of Music on the map. Then, at about 6:00 we started to get ready for the haunted house, I was so excited. I had fun putting all that blood on myself. After about 20 minutes my entire body was sticky because we made blood out of corn syrup, chocolate syrup, and red food coloring, bad combination. On the bright side, I got some awesome pictures and I scared a ton of my friends. :)
I didn't go to sleep until 3:00AM and I had to wake up early again to play for VIP (Visit in Person) Day here at GC. I strongly recommend doing the VIP day, they give you lots of information about GC, you get to tour the entire campus and see how awesome GC is. I was really happy to talk to some high school seniors and there parents as they toured the dorms on Saturday, tell them about GC. I actually woke up late to go play for VIP day, but its all gravy. Then we had the football game, and after screaming all night at the haunted house, and at the football game,(because that's just what I do) I almost lost my voice. We obviously won again, I mean come on its gtown (just kidding)! I was so exhausted after all of that, I just relaxed for the rest of the day, watched some more college football!

On Sunday, I went to church at Georgetown Baptist Church (right down the street from GC)! It was a great service, after that I went to brunch with some friends, talked, socialized, its what I do best. I went to the music building and practiced for like an hour, because I'm trying out the Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps (DCI), if you know about that. Then I watched some NFL football, I was excited to see the COWBOYS loose again and the SAINTS winning!! WHO DAT!! I went to Walmart and spent to much money, but since I have a double occupancy room to myself, I'm starting to put more stuff in it, which is awesome, can't wait until its done. I went to see one of my best friends (Jay Bomb) in his play "The Doctor In spite of Himself". It was an awesome play and very very funny. I just watched movies for the rest of night with some friends before going to sleep.

If you guys have any questions about GC, you can email me at tlloyd0@georgetowncollege.edu, but other then that, that's all I have for this week, time for foundations!
