I realized today marks the 1 year anniversary of me moving Arizona. I arrived late on Friday night the 14th last year with my buddy Brian who moved down with me. That first night we met my future roommate Adam out at a bar. Adam grew up with my good friend Kyle from Northwestern together in Milwaukee and Kyle recommended that I get in touch with ( Read more... )

Its been awhile since I've updated this thing. 28 weeks according to livejournal, a nice little stat that displayed when I logged in. The reason I'm writing today is cause I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be joining Austin and Phil for a bit of their trip in South America, and I thought this would be an easy way to write about it.

I kind of just ignored this thing for the past few months. My entries had been getting fewer and farther in between and eventually I just became too lazy to keep it up anymore. The reason I'm writing tonight though is because I have some very important news. As some of you know already, I finally got a job. It took awhile and I seriously thought I ( Read more... )

Last night was drinking marathon, probably my favorite event here at Northwestern. I believe I wrote about last year's, but just in case here's a refresher. The event is a parody of Dance Marathon, a philantropy event where people raise money and then dance for 30 hours. The dance has different blocks which have themes with music and such. Drinking ( Read more... )

Last weekend my collegiate Ultimate career ended as we finished 5th in regionals, with only the top two teams advancing to nationals. I had a lot of fun playing this year and am definately glad I decided to do it. My only real regret is just not playing earlier, because its intensely frustrating being a rookie and a senior at the same time. I had ( Read more... )

That's right. This guy. My dream became reality last night when I won the competition to throw out the first pitch at the NU day at Wrigley game on May 8th. I don't remember if I wrote about it last year or not when my friend Mike won it, but I decided that my goal would be to win it this year. The competition basically works by sending in an ( Read more... )

Being sick sucks big time. Out of nowhere I came down with a sore throat last Thursday and spent the next couple days in bed. I thought that would help, but it didn't so I went to the doctor but that only proved that I didn't have strep throat. Its now been over a week and my throat still kills, I think I have tonsillitis caused by a virus ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe spring break is already here. I guess I never wrote about my spring break plans earlier, so I will share them now. I'm going on a trip with the Ultimate team, which should be a lot of fun. We're heading down to Georgia and the Carolinas for some ultimate tourneys and some relaxation. I leave tomorrow for Georgia, its going to ( Read more... )

Earlier this winter a bunch of my friends from the dorm freshman decided we should have a reunion ski trip up in Michigan (which wasn't much of a reunion considering all the guys are now my roommates and we see the girls often enough). But anyways Katie's family has a place up in the northern part of the lower peninsula, the real northern part, so ( Read more... )

The high temperature today was 1. Tomorrow's it's supposed to get all the way up to 2. I sure am enjoying this winter weather we're having. I cant wait til San Diego, its less than 10 days away now. We tried the trick where you throw the water up and it freezes in the air. It worked, although I still don't understand why it has to be near boiling ( Read more... )
