So last week and up until last night have been absolutely hectic, one reason I'm just getting around to this now. This weekend was actually a really nice break, but then Monday rolled around, and it was back to the normal crap. So first I'll start by just letting you know last week sucked ass because we thought we could breeze through the week with no hard work after finishing presentations on Wednesday. That wasn't the case, we ended up having two rough tests. One we've gotten back, which was the one I was late for and I got around an 82%. Not too bad considering. The other I'm still not sure about but I didn't study for it and it was supposed to be tough, when I took it though it seemed fine. That was on Friday. Then, Friday night I was hoping to go out but hadn't heard anything. So I give a couple friends a call and turns out they we're gonna be pregaming soon and invited me to join. Of course I couldn't pass up the offer so I got my beers from Greg's and headed for the apartment. When I got there I met one of my friends sisters and then we watched Supertroopers. Once that was over we headed to the bars, danced and all that fun stuff. Then we found out the cops were there so we finished up and left. We grabbed some pizza and at this point I'm pretty well gone, slipping on the snow and all fell while climbing over a short wall. We got back to our friends apartment, ate some pizza and watched part of Waiting... if I remember right. Then I headed home. I woke up the next morning feeling kinda crappy but that went away fast. Saturday must've been pretty uneventful considering I don't remember what I did, and same with Sunday other than grabbing some stuff at Walmart then getting some Wendy's. Sunday night I found out around 8 we had a project due the next morning so I got that somewhat finished, it was pretty bad as far as quality goes but I wasn't too worried about that anymore. Then Monday I go to class, we do the normal learning crap. Find out somewhere around noon we have to resubmit our work, so I get that done and eat lunch. My second class comes up, we talk about the next project which should be pretty cool in the end, then we were done way early, I decided to get some work done then headed back and grabbed dinner. Monday night was by far the shittiest night of all because I had to finish another project in AutoCAD. I went in at 7 p.m. thinking I could get out of the studio by 10. Wrong, it was more like 1:30 a.m. Needless to say I wasn't too happy by the end of it. Then I came home, passed out, woke up, went to class, and then now I'm here. From the time I got home til I started writing this I was looking up family history of which I've gotten back to the mid 1500's which is cool as hell, to me anyway. But, other than that I've really got nothing else.
Lately I've been wondering what I should do as far as relationships go though. I know I'm alright with being single, but having some kind of thing going would be pretty nice. I don't know though, it seems like that could be happening and yet I could be wrong. There's too much second guessing and dullheadedness going on on my part. But I'll take the advice of Kayla and not look because it seems when you aren't looking you find something, so I'll just go with the flow, seeing as I'm content with how some things are going. So yea, that was my last thought, have a good night, morning, day, whatever time it is when you're reading this, and thanks for doing so.

So because of how I was feeling during the last post I completely left out what had happened over the weekend, which is a disappointment because it was such a great time. Zack, Justin, and Kayla came down to visit on Friday, if you ask Greg it was just to visit him, which is fine with me. Of course having visitors means going to a hockey game on campus which is normally fun but that night they played horrible and we ended up losing the game. Afterwords though we went back to Greg's place where we had some drinks and ordered pizza. Then, around 11 or 12, the times are disputed I'm thinking it's more around 12, I got a text message from another friend seeing if we were coming out to the bars. So after a bit Justin, Zack, and I all got ready and headed to Murphy's. On the way there we ran into the friend we were supposed to meet, but he was cool about it and went back in with us, he was our only ticket to getting booze. So when we get there we all have proper I.D. except for Zack, who only has a ticket and his school I.D. Thankfully they had accepted it and let us in. We had two rounds then headed out. First we headed to my studio so I could show them around, and show them the work I had done, that may have been a bad idea if we were any more drunk, but it turned out to be quite a good adventure. On the way we were on the Quad when Zack heard people yelling and decided we should as well. Justin ended up howling and Zack made some video game noise. When we got there we headed up, I showed them my work and introduced them to the two people in studio, it was around 2 or 2:30 a.m. I believe. Eventually we headed out, but not before we first took all of the pushpins on a board and made a penis out of them, stupid, I know. Then there were some bags along one of the hallway walls so I decided it would be a great idea to sprint and slide into them, turns out it was fun as hell, but then I had to stop because Zack and I had to race down the hallway again. After that we headed back to Greg's where we played a game of Connections in which I got screwed with a high card just about every time. Before we got there though Zack decided he wanted a piggy back ride, so I gave him one, then Justin thought it would be hilarious to push us over, and it was, but it also hurt like hell afterward. Once we got inside we warmed up and started that game of Connections up. Eventually I was pretty damn drunk along with everyone else when all of a sudden Greg's crotch is nearing my face, I can't remember the words that were said at the moment, but just screwing around I hit him in the happy sacks, I thought it was a soft hit, apparently I smashed 'em like hell. Then, as I'm just sitting laughing and apologizing Zack punches me in the happy sacks, so I'm writhing in pain, then Greg does it as well, so I'm in double pain lying on the floor. Eventually I kind of fall asleep until they start talking about doing something to me to which I wake up and promptly smack my head off of the bottom of the chair I was apparently under. I don't remember what exactly happened after that but I know shortly after Zack and I headed back to my place. We headed to bed, then in the morning I wake up to a kick in the ribs which scared the hell out of me, but it was an accident on Zack's part. He was having trouble getting out of the bunk bed. So, while I lay in bed trying to get my bearings a bit Zack checks his Facebook and whatnot on my computer, then later on I discover he changed my background to the cereal guys drinking, smoking, and looking at porn. We grabbed some lunch a little later which only made me slightly feel better and then they headed home. All in all it was a good time. Other than that I went to the studio to work on my project, which didn't really work until Sunday because I felt so sick on Saturday. Then Monday came and that's what my last blog covers. I'm glad they came down to visit, it turned out to be some real fun, and Justin if you happen to actually look at this, no I haven't done her yet.

So lately the only thing I've been doing is finishing up a project for my Landscape Architecture class. This afternoon was the review. Needless to say I was feeling pretty good about my design going into the presentation today. Well, the professors that critiqued us obviously weren't. One guy really didn't have much to say, but that's cause he's an architect, not a landscape architect, the other two on the other hand had plenty to say, some good, the rest, bad. It kind of sucked. They liked the idea of having a deck and a pergola and all, but for everything else they seemed less than impressed. One major comment I got was that I had had one of the best diagrams to that point. All of this kinda disenchanted me a little bit and now I feel like I've taken one huge step backward after all of the progress I had made last semester. All I can really do at this point is wait for next project to start and just knock that one out of the park. As far as pictures go I will have a post up with them in it sometime after it is graded and returned.

So I had to get on here to let it be known that there is finally some good news. My registration has gone through at the school and I can now go get a new I card which will happen in the morning. As far as much else goes I'm a bit swamped with projects and papers but that's no big deal, I've done it before I can do it again. As far as the rest of life though, not too much going on right now.

Alright, so not too much has been going on lately. Came home Friday night with Greg from the U of I and it took 3 hours, twice what it takes on a good day. This was all thanks to shitty road conditions that started when we finally got around to leaving after our classes. Once we got home I hung out at my house for a bit. Then Kayla came and got me, we went and got some drinks then picked up our friend Zack from work. From there we headed to Justin's house where we just hung out and talked, I made some horrible jokes, and we drank. Kayla decided she wanted to go to Kroger to get some food so I drove her over there, we got food, then came back, hung out til around 4. Kayla took me home and I went straight to bed. I had to wake up around 8:30 a.m. to head to Buffalo Grove for my brothers hockey game.
It was a long as car ride, and I fell asleep, but I was so uncomfortable. We waited forever for the game to start, about 2 hours, then watched the game. During the game several things happened, and my brothers team lost, but one of the parents for the other team exposed his complete lack of class by calling one of my brothers teammates a loser. Things almost escalated but thankfully our team parents can hold their tongues. After that incident we headed to Giordano's for pizza, which was delicious. Then headed home.
This drive also took 3 hours, we got home, then me and my mom went to Walgreen's so she could get tea and I could get some cough drops because sometime earlier in the week I developed a scratchy throat, and I don't need to be sick right now. And from then on I've just been sitting around watching T.V.
There's two things I've realized this weekend. 1) Bud Light Golden Wheat is an alright beer, a bit too fruity for my taste but good enough. 2) I don't like comin' home too much anymore, it kind of feels like a waste of time sometimes. I mean, I like coming to see family and all, but lately I just get easily annoyed and don't do anything. I could be down at school right now either partying or working on my project, but instead I'm sitting at home watching Richard Pryor on B.E.T. alone. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, just slightly boring.
So anyways, that's about it, and I can't really wait til Sunday night for the Super Bowl and then to go back to school. Until my next post, take it easy.

I guess I'm at that point in my life where I'm really beginning to find out what kind of guy I am. I'm old enough to know what I want in one way or another. What I'm getting at is that I know I don't want "the one" yet, but, I do want to meet some of those girls that are content with being more than friends, and not necessarily in the sexual way either, more like the hang out cuddle session. Because honestly I can find cuddling just as satisfying as sex. I can't really explain it, that's just how I feel. Any of my friends can tell you I'm quite the emotional guy. To be honest, I wouldn't change it for anything, that's what makes me who I am. Without emotion you can't let others know how you feel. Originally what I was going to write about was the questions you tend to dwell upon immediately after a break up, if you got broken up with that is. And these questions even sometimes come up several months after a break up as well. I'm going through a bit of that now. I'm not too emotionally invested in what the answers might be, but more interested in the answers as a tool to grow with. If I know what they're concerns were about the relationship, exactly why we broke up, or how they felt most of the time, well, then I can change it in later relationships. Would I go back with any of my past girlfriends? Hell no, in every relationship I've had they haven't ended real well. My last one did at first, until I found out she had cheated on me. I found out about it after we were already broken up, but the incident happened while we were still together. So when confronted about it she freaked out and other shit happened later on, which I believe I refer to in an earlier post documenting the text messages I received about working with her. Anyway, these kind of things raise questions like did you really love me? or why would you do something like that? or will you be completely honest about what went on? There are hundreds upon hundreds more questions, but not a point in listing them.
I guess the next question would be why do guys like me get passed up so easily? I treat women with the utmost respect. I may be a bit old-fashioned in some ways, but that is how I was raised, and from what I've seen from other people it's a good thing. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong to get the gorgeous girl. Anyway, I hope you comment on this, maybe answering my last question, either way I'm fine if you don't. I figured I would post an entry since it's been quite sometime.
Oh, by the way, all of the financial aid problems are taken care of, I should be registered by some time this week, it's finally happening.
