Pepsi takes over UF's campus
 So now that PEPSI has become the only soft drink company offered at UF, maybe people are complaining that the administrators based their reasons for switching purely on financial factors, e.g.: how much money they will give UF, and not based at all on student preference. Well, I don't care. I prefer the taste of Coke over Pepsi but if Pepsi is going to give UF 30 million dollars, I'd support it. I also prefer Coke to Pepsi bc Pepsi is a huge contibuter to the Democratic Party. However, do I care that much to condem UF? Of course not.
In the past two days on campus, Pepsi has had stands set up all over the campus giving away free Mountain Dew, AMP, Pepsi, and Hot Dogs. I've never seen Coke do that, but they never really had any reason to. Pepsi's showing of good will through giving away free food and drink makes me content. Oh, and all of the vending machines for soft drinks are all brand new and quite shiny :D
Here is the Alligator article on Pepsi's newfound glory.

Oh wow
 I just got back from another long day at my RA training and was talking to a friend of mine from my classes who is now at Tulane in LA. She got proposed to today and she said 'yes'. She has been proposed to several times but turned them down.
What is really ironic is that just last week she was in a car crash in which she got t-boned by a cop going 60 in a 20. I hate cops. So many are hypocritical rude bastards. What I find to be really sweet about the proposal is the timing. She is in really bad shape right now and can barely walk. The door to her car was smashed in and wrapped around her steering wheel. This proposal I think really says I love you no matter what happens, which is really what marriage is all about.

RA Training Week
RA Training is so incredibly time consuming. Everyday I wake up at 7am and the training lasts until 9pm. This takes up the entire day! By the time I get back to my place, I am exhausted and just want to relax instead of doing door decorations, room condition forms, or bullitin boards. I am writing this post in the 15 min that they gave us between the second Crisis Street training and lunch, which is organized by Housing. I never thought I would say this bc my fall semester classes are harder than ever, but I really wish the year started so I could have more free time. It really got to me last night when a friend of mine said: "are you avoiding me or something?" Because I am never around, and can't go to dinner or movies with anyone, unless its after 9pm, but by then I am exhausted anyway.

Semester's End and Thoughts on Freedom
 A very lazy semester has ended. It was probably the easiest semester I will ever have at UF. I am netherless glad it's ended and I am free from responsibilities now. It's such a nice feeling. I think there are different levels of freedom. The one which we have in our country is the freedom to choose whatever we want to do with our lives, but another type of freedom is even more enjoyable: freedom from responsibility. That only comes in brief stages in our lives, usually assosiated with vacation. However, if we all had this freedom all the time the world economy would collapse and we would fall back to a hunter gather state because no one would do anything, sort of like France.
I had dinner last night with a friend I have not seen in a while, Allison Kreiger. She is probably has the best chance of everyone I know of becoming famous, well, she already is, but becoming like, movie star famous. She is the second hottest girl I know (if any girls are reading this, insert your name here as number 1, *snuck out of that little trap*) She is finishing up UF and going to Miami. It's so sad that people are leaving UF and I still have another year left. Damn engineering majors... But, in reality, I really don't want to leave UF, and she said she doesn't either.
I hope I will have some time to go back to Orlando over the next two weeks so I can hang out with friends and family. RA training is of course going to prevent this.... grrr...

Randomness!
Other cultures are so much fun ^_^. I have no clue what this is or what it means, but I can't help but laugh.

Update: While looking around for more info, I found the lyrics in Russian and a crude English translation. Although, I still don't really know what the song means after this :P I think it is praising Moscow.

Comments
So I just noticed all the comments that were on my site were wiped bc they were too old. Damn you HaloScan. Worst Commenting Service Ever. I like to look at past entries and review what people wrote, its fun. The removal of people's comments was one of the major factors that contributed to the lack of updates to my blog. It just feels so pointless to post now that I know people's comments will be deleted with time :(
