extra large in size

what else is there thats better to do on a saturday afternoon than laundry? well, obviously i couldn't come up with anything today...so thats what i filled my time with. no doubt, it had to get done...but why couldn't i have done it when i had to sit around doing homework or something. what a sick and twisted way to chain me to my dorm room all day. at least i didn't waste all day sitting around. i managed to pirate a few more songs (sad to say) and get my music organized.

amy, lola, kristen, and i (and their friend matt) all went to see the dawgs play some basketball in the late afternoon. of course, we won. well, i shouldn't say "of course" because, need i say it, we aren't known for basketball 'round here. anyway, thats beside the point. sat in the student section waving our white pom poms that flash red...quite cool. even got another extra large t-shirt.

thats the third "free" t-shirt from georgia i've gotten that will never fit me (Lord willing). orientation, first friday, basketball...all way too big. i have a bone to pick here. why do they always have to order a million extra large shirts? come on people! what about us girls who would like to sport our school spirit? sure, we can put them on like potato sacks...but you can't honestly claim that we are "able to wear it". crap on that. theres always that happy medium...medium as in the size that is a compromise between the american epidemic of obesity and the smaller folk. it might still be a little baggy on some, and maybe others will have to squeeze into them, but at least it will make more people happier.

this always bugged me in high school. i swear, at all the cross country meets they would be out of smalls and mediums 30 minutes into the 6 hour meet. now am i wrong in saying that these meet shirts are made for the athletes? these athletes are all runners who run a lot. they exercise a lot. we all know that the best way to stay in shape and not have a lot of extra weight is to exercise. they are most likely going to wear a small or medium. so if they're trying to make a profit from these shirts, why order so many larges and extra larges? sure, go ahead and order extra larges for the parents who haven't seen the treadmill in awhile, but change at least half of that order to the smaller sizes. well, until they take my advice, i'll be stuck here doing laundry and trying to shrink my extra large t-shirts.
