Today is Aidan's first birthday! I can't believe it's been a year since he was born. It's kinda scary how fast people's lives can change.

Well, I know Emily's best friend in college is named Leigh and my best friend from camp is named Leigh so I think there's something about that name that automatically makes them awesome. Here's an example ( Read more... )

So I'm in a FIG (First Year Interest Group) which pretty much means I'm in high school but at college. I have 3 classes with the same 20 people. As a big fan of huge lectures where attendance is not mandatory, I wasn't looking forward to being in a FIG at first but now I love it. Instead of TAs I have real live professors and it's pretty much ( Read more... )

As most of you know, I hate birthdays. Always have, always will. Yesterday was probably the worst one yet but that also caused me to think a lot about this past summer. I've changed. As Anna Schmidt put it, "they've converted you." It's true. (Ex. I'm going to the no.1 party school in the nation but I'm not going to drink.) Don't worry, I'm still ( Read more... )

i have welts and bruises all over my body. some are in inappropriate places. but i had a blast getting them.

yes, that's right. i am no longer a paintball virgin.

I really love my job... almost to the point that I don't want to come home.

One of the drawbacks is that it's like living in a bubble and sometimes facing reality is tough. My moral values have changed and I'm a lot more ( Read more... )

I never updated about Week Three because I come home over the weekend. Instead, I ditched a group of friends from camp who went to Olive Garden in Greenfield (yeah, we drove 30 minutes to get there), got captured by Kieran and got to see Jenny and everyone. It was a very grand Thursday night excursion. Camp tends to be monotanous because we do the ( Read more... )

JENNY NITSCHKE IS HOME IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS!!!!

someone should come and pick me up tomorrow around 5:30 so i can come home for the night and see her otherwise i shall just have to wait. 

I forgot how awkward middle schoolers are. Girls chase around guys (who think girls are attractive yet still have cooties) and guys just love to show off. It's rather amusing to watch. Jim and I were talking about the randomness of those 3 years on the drive to Applebees where we have dinner, see Armando and receive comments/questions from our ( Read more... )

for the first time in my life (okay, i'm exaggerating) i'm the youngest one here. i've made a few friends, but they're the type that i'll forget after summer. there are some people my age but most are in college so they think i'm kinda lame for being excited that i just graduated. plus my roommate decided to switch rooms (it had nothing to do with ( Read more... )
