I didn't get into the writing course I wanted (you know, the one that you have to apply for?). I didn't think I would; my application sucked, and, well, NU has some pretty good writers, I guess. And it's actually a good thing, since that frees up a spot in my schedule anyway. I may or may not be taking five classes next quarter. Similarly, I may or ( Read more... ) -

Soooooooooo I just got back from the NU/Wisconsin game. Wisconsin was rated #14 in the country and came out strong in the first half.

But we still won, 51-48, despite the ( Read more... ) -

im a touch on the tired side. last night we played capture the flag with parc (tool central) until about 2 am. neither side won...just like last year. it was irksome. they initially hid their flag in a tree where none of us could get it, but then they moved it apparently, but none of us had any idea where it was - even after they told us. we, on ( Read more... ) -

i forgot to mention yesterday: the song of the moment is "call on me" by eric somebody. in short, allie lindo told us that we simply HAD to listen to it. we looked it up online and listened. it was awful and amazing. then it got stuck on our heads...for hours on end. i think its going on about 100 hours straight now. someone figured out how to play ( Read more... ) -

yesterday was pretty flippin sweet for me and the missus. she kicked my tail in tennis, 6-1. i didnt have my a-game, i guess. we then cooled off for a little bit before going fishing, where the fish kicked our tail. at one point a couple bluegill swam up near us, presumably to mock us because we could not catch them. stupid fish. we then swam a ( Read more... )
