As of tonight, i'm really worried for a big percentage of the Corps.

Mainly, everybody is getting into drinking alcohol on campus, which as most people should assume, is a really big no no. So why do people keep doing it? My assumption is the staff's lack of commitment to the rules that they themselves are supposed to enforce. The only time someone has gotten kicked out was when 2 people were drinking in SPIKE housing, not on campus, and that was because someone on that team admited to buying alcohol for someone that was under 21 and they both got kicked out. Since then, there have been numerous incidents involving people drinking on campus, and even underage drinking, but no one has been sent home ever since those 2 got kicked out.

So what is with the staffs commitment to the rules? Do they just dont care anymore? Do they feel like since this is most likely going to be the last year of NCCC, they dont really have to enforce anything? I just want those questions answered, because now, people that you wouldnt expect to do this sort of stuff, are now getting in trouble because they're in this state of mind that they won't get kicked out because everyone else who does this sort of stuff stays and just gets fined, where as the policy CLEARLY states "Drinking on campus results in a Dismissal Hearing", but NO ONE GETS DISMISSED!!?!?!?!?!

#1 reason why im worried. Today we had another incident, but it involved one person and she's under 18. Extreme goody goody, and i respect her a lot because she's a real cool person. I won't lose respect for her because of this incident becausmost likely she was pressured into it by someone, and because of this.... well..... She's now in the hospital. The only details i've been told is that a group of people went out to this club, and she was underage, so they got someone to take her back, but apparently she had been drinking before she went to club, which means she had to have been on campus.

I can't see her drinking on campus, thats the thing I dont get... She's so against it, so my main question is who, and where, did she get alcohol from?

Right now her team leader is staying the night at the hospital by her side, making sure she's alright. So far as it stands, she's concious now and she's really scared and embaressed "As she should be" for what happened.

SO YA, MORE DRAMA, IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news:

Me, mike and Mark stayed up till about 3:30am making a snowman, taking a stroll inside the infirmary, watching movies and just chilling out in the snow while watching the drama go on. But yep... Thats whats going down. Good pics will be added of yesterday on myspace hopefuly shortly. But until then.

Drama sucks, i hate it, go away plz k thx bye.

I just have one question for this god damn world.

Why the hell do people have to be so stupid when it comes to alcohol?

I mean seriously. People, you dont need it in order to have fun, you can have fun without alcohol, YES it IS POSSIBLE. But unfortunately some people here at the campus feel as if drinking makes everything better.

Lets just take into account what happened this saturday, 2-4-05. I come into my room, and my roommate is in there with a cheap bottle of rum and he and some other people are passing it around to eachother.Now at first i'm like "What the fuck is going on here?" Because drinking on campus is strictly prohibited so i'm really concerned. Nothing bad happened then, But thats nothing compared to later that evening, I once again walk in to pick my phone up off my charger and its a fucking beer party IN MY FUCKING ROOM. This makes me really concerned because I'm not sure if I should hang out and have fun and risk being caught, or just remove myself from the situation entirely and make sure I stay away from that situation and find an alliby incase I, for some reason, get called into questioning. So I did the smart choice and removed myself from the situaiton completely when I went in and grabbed my phone. They wanted me to stay because we're all good buddies and all but I made up an excuse that "Oh i need to make a call i'll be back in a couble of minutes".

Minutes turned into 2 hours.

So instead of going back to my room, I go wallking around the campus hallways looking for something to do to pass the time by. I ended up going to the computer lab to chat with some of my buddies to try and see how I should best handle this situation. In the end, I ended up going into the main lounge to watch The Notebook with a few people. I was just praying that they wouldnt get caught cause I didn't want anyone to get sent home, even though they were acting this stupid in the first place

Then it goes downhill from there.

About 3/4ths of the way into the movie, one person that was "enjoying themselves" comes down the Main hallway being carried by 2 people, i assumed, back to their room. And of course, since there's a lot of people watching the movie, they see that person being carried and that person is also making loud noises and laughing really loud "Mind you, its about midnight'ish when this is going on.quiet hours start at 10:00pm" So people in the room are starting to ask questions like "Whats going on?" "Are (they) trashed?" "How'd (they'd) get trashed?".

And now it gets even worse.

When the movie is over, I see Kate and Phoebe, two team leaders, on their way down the hall towards Harrell and Lewis halls. Now when they're walking around the halls this late at night, together even, something bad is going to go down. So I decide to follow them to see whats going on.... AND....................

Yep..... My worst fears came true.

Everybody that was in my room 2 hours ago was standing outside my room, and the team leaders come up and start quetsioning them, starting off the conversation with

"So whats going on with this whole drinking situation?"

When those words were said, I swear to god my heart stopped for a second. I was scared shitless that people were going to be sent home that night becuase they decided to be such fucking idiots and have some "fun" on campus rather then away from campus on the nearby trail.

So what went down was this. The majority of the people said that they just went down the trail and enjoyed a few beers, and that's all they did, then they came back here and started to just chill out.

Bear in mind, that all I did during this conversation was stand back and observe. They didn't ask me anything because they saw me in bartman and I walked with them, mainly just to go back to my room but they seemed to be headed along the same path..... Unfortunately

Then of course, 1 person has to ruin it all because he's scared for his life..

"You all know what we were doing, we were fucking drinking in there and we know its wrong so do what you got to do".

Everybody in the room instantly shot glares at that person, and the team leaders questioned him as to what really went on. The only thing he said was that exact statement word for word and nothing else. Eventualy he stormed out of the place because this was basicly his 2nd strike. He made a huge scene out of it, breaking shit left and right. Smashing someones pepsi can off the nurses station, taking a Caution wet floor sign and throwing it hard against the wall and kicking over a trashcan because he knew most likely, he was fucked for sure.

One question remains to be answered though.... How did the team leaders find out?

Apparently, when i saw them carrying that one particular person to their room, One of the teamleaders saw what was going on and waited for the two people carrying the person to leave, where then she went into that person room to quetsion her as if she was alright. No one knows what was said by that person to the team leader, but most suspicions point that the team leaders decided to investigate further.

And thats all I know about what is going on here now.

Most likely, there will be more dismissal hearings to come in the future, and most likely in this situaiton, if people dont keep their cool together, more people will probably get kicked out. I'll probably lose a roommate if this goes really bad. But this is all I have to say in this situation.

They brought it onto theirselves, they get what they deserve.

And thats my fucking update for now, time to watch the superbowl.
