Full Circle

I guess I'll use what's left of my battery life here at 1:40 on a Tuesday morning to write this post. I sorta left Xanga because I realized no one reads Xanga anymore and I think a lot more people read my notes on Facebook than on Xanga. I used Xanga 3 times in that last sentence, prolly something gramatically wrong with it, but welcome to Rolla. lol. Well for you devout readers, lets get started. There is a lot to write about, my mind is racing at this point lol, I really dont know why. I cant decide whether to make this post, like the usual ones with the "here's what I did today" sort of flow, or the complaint-filled rant about friends who remain nameless. Let's see where it goes.

Well I'll start with school, that seems easiest. Classes are still going well, I really love it down at Rolla. I love the guys on my floor and I really dont know what I'd do without them. Prolly get trashed with the Fraternity. I decided not to go through with initation. I found that I really didnt click with the guys and I was the only pledge in my entire dorm so I never really got a chance to bond with the guys. I'm glad I made that decision though. Steph and I broke up. yeah. It's ok though, she seems ok with it I guess and I've moved on. Definitely some weirdness goin on though. I really commend those people who date then break up but stay friends. That's prolly the worst part of breaking up wtih someone, is that you lose their friendship. I'd like to stay friends with her, but I really dont know what is going to happen. I made a trip up to Missouri State last weekend, which was an ok trip I suppose. I was a huge ass to Coop all weekend and I really didnt get out of the trip what I expected. Spent 38 dollars there though, geez. But some best friend I am. Coop and I talked about change for a long time. That's one thing I noticed since coming to college, change happens so quickly. There are things that if I was with the Group, I wouldn't have done, but in college you dont really second guess yourself because the people closest to you are no where to be found to watch your back. I know you have to make decisions on your own but it's nice to have your friends lookin out for you every now and then. One positive from that weekend was that I got to see "Borat." I was really surprised by that movie, but I still thought it was hilarious. Plus, just seeing Coop was pretty sweet. Anywho other than that, it's been pretty much the same for me.

Alright as for Thanksgiving break so far. Man I couldnt wait for Friday to come. Each day went by slower and slower and I about died at the end there lol. Steve gave me a ride home and got me really into Weird Al. Like I knew of him and what kind of music he did and all, but I never actually listened to him much. Now I went and downloaded a bunch of his stuff and I really enjoy it. "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" is a favorite. Friday night I spent with Megan and Mike. Our original plan was to hang with Spencer and well do that for a while, but as usual Spencer didnt have his phone on so we went to Mike's house. It was actually a lot of fun, Megan spoke of her undying love for Mr. Schmidt, and of course the latest gossip with people from band and people we all knew. Some crazy shit you High schoolers are getting into lol. Saturday night the Group met up at Liz's house and hung out there for a while. We ended up going to Taco Bell and then off to a house to party lol. Sunday was boring as all, no one wanted/could do anything, so I sat at my house and watched football. Oh and I put 58 door knobs all over the house. w00t. Today, well Monday, was flippin fantastic. I went back to Marquette with Joe and visited all my old teachers. Not much has changed besides Kelemen's name, and a couple of new computers and all that electronic jazz. I saw all the band people in Stats, (a class I never even took lol), Werner, Roberts, McMahon, Sharitz, pretty much the whole math department. We also saw J-Spurge, Lucero, Kremer, and Reuter. They all havnt changed. I thought about coming back today for pancake breakfast in Schmidt's class, but at 9 AM doesnt really work for me. It's ok though. Tonight, again bored as shit, went over to Joe's house with Jeff. We just chilled and watched Leno. Oh I bought a toothbrush today from Target. Another highlight, no doubt.

I'll finish up by being selfish and talk only about myself. I guess I'd like to say I've come full circle and I'm really happy like in all aspects of my life. Sure there are always those minor things that you'd like to change, but in general I'm real happy with my life and how things are going. I mean there were times last year and two years ago where my life was shit and I thought it couldnt get worse. My dad used to say back then that before junior year and what not I was a happy kid, and now that I think about it, I generally was. Then there was the low period and now with college I've come full circle and am entirely happy with the way things are going in my life.

Oh so two days ago, my Mom told me to go hang out at SLU more so I can find a lady friend. My bro is strugglin down in Miami to find his future wife so Mom is like "find one now so I dont have to deal with this twice." True Love takes time though, so it's all good Niru. Why the hell would he read this though, I'll just tell him in person lol.

The Beautiful Letdown

Alright no joke, grab some popcorn

Well I've been wanting to write in here forever but I never have gotten the chance. I really shouldn't even be on here now, I have a shitload of chemistry to catch up on but you know what, for all you loyal readers out there, I feel like I owe you. Since Monday October 16th, hmm lets see...

Before the 16th I think I made my first trip up to Mizzou. Derek, Logan, Eric and myself headed up to Columbia but headed our separate ways upon arrival. I ended up at Joe's and hung out there and met his gf at the time. Everyone there seemed pretty nice. So Friday night we had no plans of what we were gonna do so we pretty much walked around campus and downtown for a long time. We ended up in some park around 10 or so and met up with Billy Joe. Our friend Billy Joe talked to us about his family and the "King's English" before threatening to kill Shabaz and I. I was like ok, I'm out lol. After that we headed over to Club "Shafted" and danced there for a little bit. It was a pretty lame club so it wasn't really worth the 10 bucks. Came back to the dorms and hung out with Shabaz and them till around 3ish and then went to bed. Saturday day was pretty boring for the most part. Saturday night everyone was watching the Mizzou game and I was the only one watching the Nebraska game. I got hassled as expected. Both teams won so who cares really. It's all about November 4th...After the game we all went to see "The Departed." Freakin amazing movie. Oh my goodness I loved it so much. Best movie of the year! Came back slept and went home on Sunday.

Well ok so nothing really happened the week of the 16th that I really deem important so we'll just skip to the next week and homecoming for MHS. The original plan was for me to come home like a normal weekend but my parents were gonna enforce the 12 15 curfew and I was like F that, so I ended up staying at Joe's house on Friday night and Saturday night. The best part was Steph came with me and she got to meet the Group for the first time. Well most of them anyway, but everyone loved her so all went well. So Friday night we all went to the Homecoming Game and it was a blast. It is a really good feeling to come back and see all the people you spent the last 4 years with so happy to see you. It was freakin cold though but whatever. Oh and get this, they actually won the game. After that we all left and went to Joe's house and partied the rest of the night. I'm pretty sure a bunch of us smoked cigars in celebration of a Cardinals win or maybe that was Saturday night, who knows. A group of them went to Uncle Bill's, but Steph, Joe and I stayed back and went to bed. Saturday morning we all woke up and Joe's mom left us muffins for breakfast. We had those and everyone left but Joe and I. Steph went home because it was her Gpa's bday. So Joe and I just chilled and then we watched the Mizzou game. Course I was rooting for the other team. And what do you know MU lost. ooRAH! lol. Saturday night I went home and hung out with my parents for a long time. I watched the Cards game and another victory. Saturday night I went over to Jeff's and all of us partied it up. We built a fort and played guitar hero and mario tennis. Came home about three and slept. Came back to Rolla and did homework, that's about it. Prolly played some racquetball in there somewhere. Speaking of which I need to go buy another one of those.

This past week was pretty normal. Spent a bunch of time with Steph, doing homework, and playing racquetball. I think I've gained like 20 pounds since coming to college. Which is right on schedule with the Freshman-Fifty. You know the best part of having a girlfriend, hanging out and doing nothing lol. I love it when she and I just chill out in my room or her room and just talk or fall asleep and take a nap. Maybe it's just me, but I think anyone can agree with what I'm saying. Just being with your boyfriend/girlfriend is an amazing feeling. It is pretty sweet. She is pretty sweet haha. If not you should try it sometime lol. Anywho, on to my second trip to Mizzou this past weekend...

Headed up there with Steph and she dropped me off at Joe's place. He apparently lost his key or somethin so I just dropped my stuff off and went over to Shabaz's. No one was there and I found out that everyone was at Jeff's. Coop was on fall break so she came up there too. We all met up and hugged and whatnot and chilled a while. Friday night we all just walked around town trying to find something to eat. Before that, Lauren T joined the party. Finally we decided to eat at Jimmy Johns which was ok. After that we walked around some more and then went to Starbucks and back to Shabaz's. Simpson, Sarah T, and Christi came around 11 and finished up the arriving guests. Woke up the next day and went tailgating with the gang before the game. I wore my Nebraska shirt and everyone was saying i was gonna get shot...psh MU fans don't have the balls lol. Anywho it was raining all day so we only stayed the first half. We all freshened up and went to China Garden for dinner. Then GAME 1 of the WORLD SERIES!! woot! Simpson and I were the only ones who stayed awake the whole game and everyone else just dosed in and out. We ended up winning and celebrated. I went back to Joe's room and watched Saw II with him and Brittanie. Left Sunday around 12 and did homework.

Well that about sums it up. Until next time!

Long Time

Well boys and girls I apologize for not writing for a really long time lol!

Here's the rundown:

School has been awesome. We had our initiation thing for Delta Sigma Phi. Things are going well there. I just wish we had a house so I could get to know the guys better. We might get one at semester but then I would have to leave 10 South and I don't know if i want to do that right now. I have met a crapload of people down here and they are all flippin amazing. Our softball team didn't fair too well. We were 0-3-1 and didn't make the playoffs. But we had a good time and that's all that matters. Joined the pingpong club. That's goin well I guess, two times a week for two hours. Finally picked up Racquetball again. I took the guys out there and taught them how to play and they are addicted now lol. Food sucks. Period. Life is going well other than that.

I have a girlfriend now! She is pretty amazing lol.

I went home last weekend. I sat there the whole weekend. I didn't go anywhere on friday because I slept for 15 hours. Saturday was the band competition and I didn't bother getting a hold of people afterwards. I just did my homework and watched some college football. My Huskers almost lost to dumb Kansas. Speaking of the blackshirts, I'M GOING TO THE MU-NE GAME IN LINCOLN! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cant wait. I'm heading up to Mizzou this weekend actually. I tried to get people to come down from MHS but they are busy. Turns out some of the guys here were going to the Washington Competition last weekend because they both had sisters who were in the band. I should have gone with them. Dang, oh well I'm coming back for the Homecoming game to see everyone.

That about sums things up here. I kind of thought I'd write more since it's been such a long time but guess not.

Oh yeah, 10 SOUTH RAVE ON THE 10TH AT 10 PM..kickin it off with SANDSTORM. New tradition...
