2004 in review

wow what a years its been... i had a amazing 2004 and honestly my life keeps getting better and better so i'm excited for 2005 and another amazing year... so lets start in the begining

jan- after being driven insane by being home for a month i finally went back to school and started my 2nd semester.. i had just realized that at home i was the same person i was in high school, being home and around those people made me not who i wanted to be and i wanted to be back at school where i could be who i wanted.. and plus i changed a lot from my friends from home.. i partied, had made amazing friends, found crew, thought a relationship was starting, and was more confident and didn't want to be treated like shit. so i was home for 4 weeks... the longest i would be home all year. so back to wac.. a crazy 2nd semester started. 5 classes, crew started up last weekend of jan, and before crew all the insane partying at the begining of the semester.

feb- crew started and that kinda took over the semester and i rushed zta and that was all the time. 6 days a week on the ergs for a month. ahhh how people managed to not quit was amazing. the randomness of valentines day and the castlebay trip to singing all by myself to hil's drunkeness! and then birthday ball! possibly one of the best nights of 2004. prom college style.. the worch girls were out in full gear and it was amazing! i rushed zeta tau alpha and it was crazy! from rush week to bid night to all the crazy new member meetings and picking bigs and learning about zta. it was crazy! managed to go to some crazy parties with my worch girls, josh a paloza (randomest night ever! random party then stealing the can and then kings in ka until 5:30!)the blizzard and that partying! worlds greatest scavenger hunt! and i was running around like crazy with everything!
