Chronicles of a True Story: Chapter Two: Charge and Conviction

Log start: 2:29pm March 26th 2009

When normal people think of the words Charge or Conviction, we would think of it as something like "OMG YEAH! SEND THAT FUCKING MASS MURDERER TO JAIL! or "WHAT!? HE GOT CHARGED FOR RAPE???" or something on that level of seriousness. I never thought twice about that topic because it has never happened to me.
But after i received a letter from my RHD, Larry, i thought to myself. Wow, what should i think of myself? a murderer or a rapist? lol... but OF COURSE, i am NONE of these :x
So now what?

Well that means my definition of charge and conviction will have to change. I know it's a bit late but you really know the true meaning of words when you're apart of it.
Like how on the 19th of March, i received a letter from Larry stating that i've done so and so wrong like 1) underaged posession and 2) excessive amount. Ok, i know i'm responsible, i won't deny it since i knew it was bound to happen if i was caught. I keep the alcohol knowing that if i was found, i would be in biiiig trouble thanks to Stony Brook's aim to become ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOP RESEARCH FACILITIES. Funny story, keep reading, i'll come back to this point of Stony Brook wanting to become a top facility.
So when i receive the letter that Larry gave me, i was officially charged (according to many dictionaries) of a crime. Hey you there, i know that it sounds LOL HARDCORE because i was "charged" but that word can be used for anything... from big to small, and my offence, i would like to think... was on a smaller scale compared to what people can actually do.
Charged with a crime that i knew could happen at anytime, i just didn't predict that the A room, being the idiots that they are tampering with the fire alarm, were actually the ones to lead to me being charged of this riddiculous crime.

So the letter that charged me with breaking two of the universities policies told me that i have to meet with Larry on the 26th (today) to discuss this incident.
Predicting what would happen to me i calculated in my head all the possible scenarios that could happen to me, the speech that i was going to get, the punishment that i was going to receive and the final outcome of the talk that i was going to have with Larry.
And don't think of me weirdly, but i literally thought about this everywhere i went, being it was the first time that i was actually charged for something and it was indeed against the law.
I finally came to the conclusion in my head an hour before the meeting that i would be given a long and boring speech about alcohol awareness and i would have to explain my actions in an according manner and then topped off with a punishment of using 1 out of 2 "chances" that everyone gets before they get their housing revoked.
That was about the worst possible scenario that i didn't want to admit to myself but i remember the RAs saying something about a no-tolerance policy on alcohol.

So of course, i went to Larrys office a bit worried but keeping the worse possible scenario in my head, played around that. NO, i'm not going to say those words, you all know what those words are and i'm not going to say it, because when i say it, bad things happen....

Stage // Enter RHD Larry's Office
Stage // Sit in a chair and smile

Ok, first he had to go through all the procedures, explain my rights and what type of hearing this is, and then he explained to me what i was charged for. I thought to myself, i can either BS this really well or his BS meter will run off the charts and my punishment will be a lot worse... after thinking about it for a few second, i decided to SIT THERE AND TAKE LIKE LIKE A MAN! *cough* no homo, faggots.
In that situation i thought it was better to tell the truth than to lie and be an asshat about it LOL
so that's what i did, he asked me why, i told him that i had no reason to and i knew i was breaking university policies. i knew this from the beginning and i still know it now.

What really was out of my calculation was the weird pre-mature mohawk that Larry had on... he changed his hairstyle and it doesn't seem to suit him... but i didn't tell him that LOL never make fun of the judge in the hearing :x
after a long discussion we had which included why people under the age of 21 isn't allowed to have alcohol and we even went bio201 style and talked about the brain and it's development and how alcohol can slow down or even stop the development of the brain because females stop brain development at their low 20s but men stop at high 20s, don't ask me how this happened, he was talking and BAM, brain functions.

In the end, i came out with a few things learnt, but these minor details will be interesting news one minute and old news that i'm able to disregard the next.
One thing that i never got during the whole talk talk chat chat process was why he didn't actually give me an easier time off.
Oh wait, first let me explain my current "punishment."

So now, my punishment is that i receive some kind of mark on my Stony Brook record, lol? This is a given, i guess i can't hold any more parties at my place this term... *sigh* the sadness... have to relocate now. Other than the official business, which won't happen again, i guarantee it, there are two other things that i have to do.
One of those i kinda chose myself, it was between doing a bulletin board or writing a paper... and if you've seen the bulletin boards that are up in dorms, you'll know that 30 mins of work can finish a board while it takes a few hours to write a decent and presentable paper that will eventually be run through the plagiarism program... so why waste brain juice on something so insignificant? :P i'd rather do a bulletin board annnyyyday.
The next thing i thought was a bit too much but after i thought about what i said to him during the meeting, i guess it's suitable... x_x

during the course of the meeting i told him that i wasn't able to find a job as a bartender (which is true) after i finished the course last fall. so in the end i guess he wanted me to do a building-wide event (which thank God nobody comes to, lol) on mixing virgin drinks.
ugh... if only the A room didn't mess with the fire detector, those fucking bastards. if only they didn't do it, our fucking suite wouldn't have gotten raided and none of this would be happening -.-

This is so lame... i know that it was bound to happen BUT i would only be satisfied with my punishment if it was found out of my own stupidity, not someone else's stupidity.
i can understand my own stupidity but i can't forgive others. tampering with a fire alarm... those fucking hippie bastards.

So now i have marks on my record, have to do a bulletin board, and have to host an event on mixing drinks.
i will only use the next phrase once, it will not be something that i say a lot, or ever because i've never found the use of it. i never found the use of it because i won't say it if it's done out of my own stupidity.

FML.

That is all. If it's anything that i learnt this year, it'll be to never trust people who don't agree with you, all they'll do is get you in trouble. Charge and conviction... these two things shouldn't of happened but already did. *sigh*

HakoneDayDreamer, why don't some people have brains?
