Nick is coming home today! I still can't believe we'll be seeing him soon. It's been a long time, but sometimes it hasn't felt like it.

My team won the match on Saturday with my court being the deciding match. I played pretty well. Well enough to be the most hated player at the tennis center. Snide little comments like "Best 3.0 serve I've ever seen ( Read more... )

I  have a match tomorrow morning in Saddlebrook at 9 in the morning, which means we have to meet at 7:30 at Randolph to car pool ( Read more... )

 Stanley Cup Finals start tonight @ 5. I'm planning on being at Old Chicago for the game. I hope I get off of work in time for the begining of the game.

I really enjoyed the Gaslight Theatre. If you allow yourself to have a good time, you will.

Damn, I've got to leave for work already.

So NBC is a bunch of bastards. They own the rights to hockey, but they don't play it. The entire first round just finished, not one game. They're finally going to start this weekend. The game they have on Sunday? The Pens vs Rangers. Awesome! Awesome. awesome.... Shit, of course it is in the 3 hours block that I am working on Sunday. The exact ( Read more... )

Well, I've been accepted to the Master's Program for Classics at the UA. I didn't get a teaching assistantship (how wrong does that word look?), but they do have positions as graders at "competitive hourly rates." I actually didn't see the acceptance letter; they sent it to my parents house, but oh well. I have 5 days to decide whether I am going. ( Read more... )

We (barely) had enough time for Millie's. The french toast stuffed with apricot and cream cheese was delicious, as was the corned beef hash. I was able to retrieve Alex's bracelet back from the information commons. Alex joined me on a wireless family plan, so she now has a new number too. I think in joining this plan I got off of paying anything ( Read more... )

 Last night I saw Explosions in the Sky with Alex, Austin, Bryan, and Andrea. It was my first real concert since Converge at the Brickhouse(?) when I left covered in sweat and blood. That was a good show. I really liked one song that Explosions in the Sky played. It was really driving and the guitar stuff they did before they started the song was ( Read more... )

This past week I finished up applying to the UA for the Master's program in Classics with an emphasis on ancient history. I hope I did everything right and will get in. Thank you for everyone who helped in the process of actually doing this. I am impressed with myself.

I just found out today that my cousin who is 23 days older than me proposed to ( Read more... )

First off, yesterday I ran the second successful Adult Quick Start tournament at Randolph; the first was on November 16. There were 35 beginners to Advanced Begginers playing, and they seemed to have a lot of fun. Hopefully they'll stick with tennis, which is the whole goal of the program. I can't really explain the feeling of seeing the people you ( Read more... )

Whenever I check up on the LJ (that's cool right?) there are only a very few new posts. I think I understand why: you start writing and you lose all your feelings on the subject midway. That or you feel you have nothing new to write about, which is what happens to me, hence 5 weeks without an update. With that said, come on people entertain me!
