Today was quite a day. First off, i couldn't sleep last night so i was up until about six in the morning doing nothing. At around ten, Helen calls me up to tell me that Michelle needs to go see a doctor for her back. Her back had been giving her fits since last night and she couldn't move or anything without pain and apparently sleep did nothing for her. So i stumbled up before noon (for the first time in two weeks) and went over there. Sadly, she couldn't get an appointment until seven tonite so i was left to play the role of nurse. Imagine the fun. "Jon i need a pen! Get me some water! Hand me that paper! Ow Ow Ow!!!" Luckily Julia was there the whole time so i kicked it with her. Needless to say, i didn't get any sleep until way later. I am not a morning person, for sure.



At around midnight, funKtion congregated to induct the new members into the world of late night practices and academic disarray. The plan was to get some girls to go with us so they could help us pull some pranks on the new guys. First off, we went to Cal and Davon's place. Both of them were in but we were only going to tell Cal that he got in and then come back way later to tell Davon. Cruel of course but necessary. Anyhow, we sent in Palak, Jill, Vidya and Sharon to knock on their door and ask Cal to come and hang out with them. This kid was doing physics homework but he quickly ditched that idea and pulled on his pants to go party right before we bum rushed him. Poor Davon was in the back and nobody said anything to him and we just congratulated Cal and left. Next up, we went to West Quad and did the same thing for Scott. He was all ready to bounce with the girls too before we rushed him. By this time, we were feeling a little bad for leaving Davon out of the loop but we only had one more stop to make for Anthony. Since Scott and Anthony knew each other, we sent Scott in with the news that they didn't make it while we hid in the hallway and listened to Anthony bitch about us. Then, the girls knocked on the door and Jill asked Scott for a condom. He was like, "for what?!?" right about the moment we crashed into his apartment. The lead guys took out this tray of dishes and utensils and stuff but nobody was hurt and nothing was broken so that was okay. Finally, to finish the night, Scott and Anthony went to Cal's apartment to congratulate Cal and make Davon feel a little bit worse before we finally ran in and congratulated Davon. The funniest bit was that Cal had told him that we would be back but then said that he was just joking. Davon was definitley left hanging but in the end the four new guys were hype as hell to be in.



All in all, the funKtion induction was cool and incredibly fun. It was like we were on a secret mission wandering the streets and whispering in hallways. Good stuff. Everyone's really happy with the new guys and they'll bring great energy to the group. I'm very glad that i got to be part of the whole process of bringing in a new class of guys.
