My Daily View

Living in the Greek community at TCU comes with its perks.  Not only are you semi-off campus, but also you are living in a “village” filled with constant activity and entertainment.

Looking out my window right now, I spy about most of the fraternity houses on campus.  Right across from my window, however, is the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house.  It being Christmas time, their house is creatively decorated with several lines of Christmas lights, a few wreaths that have made their way onto the ground, and one cheesy sign that reads shines “Merry Christmas!”  Whoever took time out of studying for finals also put clumps of cotton in the creases of window of their chapter room.  Interesting addition, Mr. Sig Ep!

To the right of the Sig Ep house is a large parking lot.  This brings me to tell you about a random event that occurred in the parking lot  a few weeks ago!  I was walking to my car in about the third lane over to the left, when I saw a raccoon on a person’s car.  This raccoon was not only on the car, but extremely dead and actually bleeding.  I doubt that someone actually ran their car into a raccoon oddly enough that it would be placed perfectly on their hood.  I later discovered that it was our chapter president's car and that someone had put it on her car as a prank!

Here’s what I discovered that Sunday morning…..view discretion is advised...

The rest of the scene from my window is pretty bland. It’s currently raining, which makes it even less exciting.

On certain Friday and Saturday nights, it is entertaining to look out my window around one or two in the morning.  People, living up the college dream, are coming back to go to bed.  My Chi O sisters and I decided a few months ago to purchase a laser pointer and to use it on those people walking by.  Those people who have been drinking (of age…of course) fall into the trap of the laser pointer and will commonly follow it for several minutes.  Few people have actually discovered where the laser pointer is coming from, for when they search for the light, we quickly turn it off and shut the blinds.  They will never know!! Mwahahaha!
