Homecoming weekend

hey everybody, haven't written in a couple of days. I've been really busy with pep band, homework and the like, so haven't had too much time to write. but i have a brief moment to update you all.

so yesterday was homecoming. There was a "Getting Blue" barbecue, and a volleyball game. Then from 9-midnight was the homecoming dance. i was at pep band last night playing for the volleyball game (CU won by the way) and it was pretty fun. I was there with James and Nathan, and we ended up taking(stealing) one of the stray Creighton volleyballs. :-P no one noticed or cared i think. so we have a souvenir of the winning game. hah. the dance on the other hand...was off campus, and semi-formal dress. >.< not especially great since i had a dress, BUT no shoes. i ended up borrowing jessica's shoes which were a little big, but nice in any case. once we got to the dance...i swear, dances in nebraska are so odd. the music selection not the greatest, and to be honest...wasn't that fun. maybe next time. but today is the continuation of homecoming. I'm playing again for pep band, and we'll be playing at another bbq, and at the soccer game. so i'll let you know if it was fun or not. hehe. but for now, i should be getting back to my homework. lots of essays due this coming week, so i'd better hop to it. i'll update later...till then, i bid you all adieu.

"Stop peeing in the pool!"
"Who's peeing in the pool?"
"Oh my gosh...EVERYONE is! it's ridiculous!!"

Isn't college just grand?

today was pretty much the normal day. I had 3 classes: Theology, Chemistry, and RSP. in chem, i got my test back...and i did MUCH better this time around :-D! for lunch i went to the Skutt center with Jessica, and we ate Ultimate Club Sandwiches from Blimpie. :-) after classes, i came back to my dorm room, and i'm just hanging out a bit. doing a little homework, then going to watch joe and kara play volleyball! so far, they are undefeated! 4-0! should be exciting :-)

so yesterday, i thought i'd just post that i felt very productive. :-) i read the Kite Runner.....over 300 pages, in just the afternoon. but i finished the book! i highly recommend this book! it's GREAT. it's a very thought provoking book with realistic characters, and set in Afghanistan. sooo....READ IT!
pictures: (upper left) there are no cars in Omaha! you can sit in an intersection and be totally safe. how odd. (bottom center) this is me at the Qwest Center Omaha! i walked here from school...about a mile away. after this, we went to the Hilton hotel next door to keep warm. (pictures were taken this saturday September 22nd)

Getting Lost

alright, so i'll write a quick blog today because i have to go back to studying. today was eventful/uneventful i suppose. i got up early for a weekend, and went right into my day. i grabbed some lunch at Godfather's Pizza at the Skutt Student Center, then went to the library to study. I studied with Jessica, until i got a call from Tam. They were at a lake today, for Loc's bible study group. So I went with Albert, Joe, and Jessica to the lake. the only thing though....we missed our offramp. not the best thing to do here in nebraska, because you'll have a hard time finding another offramp..and end up driving for over an hour. so by the time we got to the lake, we had to leave. it was a very nice lake though...but we wasted too much time driving. i didn't mind the drive too much though, because i had my book for class, and i got a lot of reading done. :-) on the way there, we saw TONS of cornfields...but then again, it is nebraska. now, i'm doing a little bit more studying, and planning to sleep early tonight. because i have a chemistry test tomorrow, and i don't want what happened on the last test to happen again tomorrow...so i'll be blogging later..see ya!

Gonna Party, Like it's my Birthday

today was my birthday! well....my birthday ended about 32 minutes ago..but i still have that mindset, so whatever. :-P well...today was pretty uneventful. i went to all my classes, and took great notes in class! :-D then i went to eat lunch. so apparently they don't charge you for meals on your birthday. they would swipe my meal card, and the price doesn't show up...then they all wished me a happy birthday! haha...not bad. :-P but tonight i was really bored...because i studied early on in the day. well.....now i'm just chilling...and should be going to sleep soon because i have an early 8:30 class tomorrow morning. >.< not fun. alright...i'll write back later!

New Blog!

So, I decided to start a new blog! This is pretty much just to let everyone know how the college life is going, and what I've been up to. I'll try and post some pictures up here too, just to show you what the campus looks like, and what kind of stuff i do here. Keep in mind though, that it is Omaha, so to begin with...not much to do. :-P anyhow...let's start with today.

So today was pretty much a typical wednesday. I had 3 classes today; Theology 100, Chem 203, and RSP 101. I started my day on the early side, 8:30 am...wasn't too much fun getting up that early. >.< i went to all my classes (and slept in between every one of them) until my RSP class let out. (btw, RSP stands for Ratio Studiorum Program. it's this Intro to Collegiate Life course). after that, i pretty much stayed in my dorm until dinner. For dinner i went over to the Skutt Student Center with Jessica and Joe, and after, went to the Fitness center to watch Evelyn play some tennis! when we were done at the gym, it was off to play some pool! today was a pretty bad day for me to play pool. i'm really sore from working out the other day, so i couldn't walk too well..much less play pool very well either. maybe tomorrow will be better if i have time...so now, i'm just in my dorm...killing a little bit of time until i hang out with some of my friends again tonight. hah, doesn't the college life seem so exciting? ......not. :-P

anyhow...i'll try to write a little bit whenever i can. i'll keep you updated!
