So...I suppose you want to hear about my first semester @ EIU. Lets just say it was fucking amazing and I met some really awesome people who I am now friends with. I also probably drank more there in a semester than I have consumed in my entire life. The stories about EIU being a party school are all true...pretty much all you do there is drink, go to class and study if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I drank a lot, went to most classes, and RARELY studied. I spent most of my time during the day either in class, drinking or video games...or drinking AND playing video games. If you are a reader of my website then you probably read about me being asked to join the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. I was strongly considering it, but that was before I got to know what it was actually like being in one. When I first started partying with them it was all good, I was having a blast, but then came drama and I hate drama and the last thing I need is some bullshit drama in my life from a fraternity, so I stopped going to their parties. Not completely, but I wasn't showing up as much as I was when I first got to EIU. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of cool guys in that fraternity who I see as friends, and hope they see me as friends, but there are also a few I want nothing to do with.
Now I'm going to mention some of the new friends I made down at EIU...
Scott-Lived with this kid and two other guys. Scott is not a man, myth, but a legend. I cannot describe in words what this kid is. I have never seen someone drink so much alcohol in my entire life. Champion...and awesome roommate. Though he needs to learn to keep his hamster away.
Missy-I met Missy from when she dated Andrew for a while. Thought she was a pretty cool chick, but when I started hanging out with her at EIU she became even more awesome. This girl likes to party, and she does a damn good job of it. She likes to dance on tables a lot and it is quite amusing. And if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have met the next person I'm going to talk about.
Jenna Olson-Wow, talk about party animal. I love this girl. She's not afraid to speak her mind and is not shy about anything at all. She drinks, parties and is a sweet girl, what else can you ask for in a friend? Plus she punched a guy in the face...talk about BAMF! Go Jenna!
Jenna Shike-Andrew's current girlfriend who is cool as hell. Also a party animal, surprise surprise. I'm so glad I met so many party animals, and I'm especially glad when they get a hold of my camera and take hot pictures of themselves!
Amanda-Coolest girl ever. An ex of Andrew who is welcome at our apartment next year ANY TIME because I say so. I love this girl, she'd party like a rock star and come over the next day and clean up. She'd also just randomly show up at our house and watch tv or steal the dog from us or something. Also she didn't just clean, take care of our dog, but she also made us food. This girl defines BAMF.
Elise-Another rock star who just happens to be currently dating Scott. These two make a good couple. Elise is a fun lovin party girl herself. Yeah, and she got a hold of my camera with Jenna Shike and they had some fun with it in my room. Go Elise. Go them. Elise also has the greatest blue eyes ever.
Lauren-I was already friends with her from back in the day when I hungout with the Lincoln-Way girls, but I saw a lot more of her at EIU and she's just a fun time. It was amusing watching her reaction to Duke losing to UNC...I'm a Duke fan too, but I hate Redick, but she loves him, and it was just funny because he completely blew in that game and Duke lost. I also had an awesome time with her Super Bowl weekend when we drove to Bradley University to visit her bro at his place there and I thank her for that. CANNONBALL!
Katie Spittal-Lauren's roommate whom I met once or twice before EIU, but never really got to know her. She's also a cool chick. I'll never forget her with the spaghetti strainer on her head when she was wasted. It was amusing.
Katie D-Bill's current gf. Cool chick. Loud and rowdy. She's a fun girl. It's ok though, as long as Bill is giving it...right Katie???
Bill-I've known you since high school and we've been friends since then, but living with you for a semester let me get to know you a lot more and it was fucking awesome. I had a good time and I hope you did too. Cya next semester yo!
Well that sums up all my newer friends from EIU. For the semester I got 3 Cs and 2 Bs. I was getting an F in one of my classes going into the final and somehow got a C for the class. There is no way in hell I aced that test to bring my grade from an F to a C, so I think I got it to a D and my teacher just gave me a C because he liked having me as a student. Which is always a plus. It's not like I was a total fuck off in class. This was the only class I tried in and he must have saw that I was trying, but still struggling so he helped me out. Well that's all I've got. I just wanted to thank everyone for a great semester because it was fucking incredible. Thanks again. PEACE!

So last Saturday I was at this girl's house whom I met at Eastern, Meg Geis, cause she was throwin a party and I brought Joe along with me. It was an awesome time from what I can remember (I don't remember a lot of that night apparently), I basically consumed a handle of Captain Morgan. It's crazy, Captain Morgan and Dr. Pepper is an amazing drink...no matter how strong I was trying to make the drinks, I still couldn't taste the Captain Morgan. It was sick, but in a fantastical way. Anyways, the highlight of my night was when I went out on to Meg's deck/porch/balcony area to get some fresh air I decided I wanted to sit down. So my drunk ass sits down and then I hear a waterfall, and then everyone starts dieing, Joe was almost on the floor, Jenna was hyperventilating, I had my head in my arms on the desk dieing of laughter because that waterfall everyone heard was now underneath me in a puddle because the seat cushion was waterlogged and now...so was my ass! It was amazingly funny. The rest of the night I guess I went around saying hey my ass is wet wanna touch it?? I don't remember that, but according to Pete, that's what I was doing. Another funny thing, but sucked for me was when I woke up in the basement after passing out with my head on the bottom stair and the rest of my body on the floor. I guess it looked like a good pillow at the time, but my neck is still kind of sore from that and it's already Wednesday. Another funny thing I said, but don't remember at all was when Joe was leaving I guess I said Hey Joe, if you stay you can cuddle with me and lay on my boob. Awesome. Oh, one thing I do remember doing that was funny was making Jenna's shoelace look like a chain and then tieing it off at the end. Haha, apparently it's bad to keep your shoes around me when I'm blackout drunk!

Hey, so I haven't updated in a bit huh? Sorry to anyone who actually read the site (I doubt it) and missed it. I guess I just got tired and needed to take a break, a long one, I know, sorry. Right now I'm listening to the new Fall Out Boy CD that came out today, in case anyone cared. I can burn it for you if you want, it's pretty sexy.
What's been going on in my life recently? Well, I'm in Spring Semester '07 at Eastern Illinois. It's 13 degrees out and The Bears lost the Super Bowl two days ago. That's depressing. That's ok though, The White Sox signed Darrin Erstad and Junior Spivey, but lost Freddy Garcia and Brandon McCarthy (!?!?!?). I'm excited for Erstad and Spivey has potential if he can find the form that made everyone recognize him a few years back. Anyways, according to my counselor here at Eastern I will be graduating after next semester. So that means I won't be coming back for X-mas break next year, I'll be coming back for good and thrown into the real world like an unwanted stepchild. Not looking forward to that. Then again I really need to get out of college. Eastern was fun for a semester, but I've grown tired of just going to class all week and then getting ridiculously drunk every weekend. I've cut back on drinking. I only drink one night a week now and I've tried to keep myself occupied with other things such as Xbox 360. The system is god damn amazing, best system I've ever owned. It was well worth the $400 I spent on it. Crazy right? Wrong! Play the system and you'll realize why it's $400.
If nobody has told you or you haven't figured it out by now I am living in an apartment this year at school with Andrew Jacobs. Last semester was fucking god awful living with him, but he's had vast improvement thus far this semester, and hopefully he just gets better cause if he gets back to how he was last semester I might be forced to give him random wakeup calls with my fist. And I wake up for class at 7am and getting a fist to the shoulder, or balls if I get that pissed, would not be a pleasant thing at this time of day.
Within the next few weeks I will be assembling a co-ed intramural volleyball team here at Eastern and we are going to dominate. Not really, we're just going to have fun, and winning would be great, but I'm just doing it to have fun and get a little active. I've been working out a bit, riding bikes, doin some weight machines and what not to get in shape a little. As lame as this may sound I just want to be able to improve myself for Sunday Softball. I am already one of the best players, but I know I can be much better if I was in shape and lost some weight.
Lately I've been feeling really down a lot. Back to this lack of wanting to drink and party so much. I think this is my reason behind being so down lately. I like to get down every now and then, about one night a week actually, but other nights I just don't feel up to it. Am I growing up? Am I maturing? I don't know. I just think I need to graduate and leave this part of my life behind me. Right now my mind is set on working, but I can't get a job here for some damn reason. I just want to get out of school and work. Speaking of work, I do not know if it will be with journalism. I like to write, but I do not LOVE to write. I don't think I have the passion or ambition to be a successful journalist. I dunno, I don't even know why I got into journalism. I was always told I was a good writer which made me feel like I could accomplish something in life, but I just don't see it. My papers and grades on papers prove that I am a good writer, but I just don't see myself enjoying being a journalist. I dunno, things could change. I do like watching movies a lot and I had a film review class last semester which was pretty cool. Maybe when I start out I'll get lucky and land a movie review job for a small-town paper somewhere, along with other duties for the paper such as standard reporting, or covering the local sporting events if I'm also lucky. Sports and Movies are about the only thing I could see myself passionately writing about. Everything else just bores me and really takes away from my passion to want to write.
I'm out for now. Check back daily for updates folks. Who knows when I'll feel like venting.

So I just went out to a party and left in like ten minutes. Not in the mood to party at all. Not in the mood to be around people. I'm going to try and give up drinking all-in-all because I just don't see the point to do it anymore. We'll see how that goes though. I mean, sometimes I get home from all my classes on a Thursday night and wanna drink and have a good time, but come Friday and Saturday I don't have an urge to party at all really. I seriously need out of Eastern. I don't want to be at Eastern anymore. I hate school. It makes me miserable. I'm not going to be a journalist when I graduate because I just associate it with school and it just bothers me. I feel like I've lived in society's shadow forever and I'm sick of it. I'm tired of being here at Eastern. I want out...NOW. I don't regret coming here because I've made some pretty good friends, but I do regret going as far as getting a Bachelor's. I have hated school since about the sixth grade and why I've gone this far is beyond me. I've got $20,000 in student loans I'm going to have to pay off once I graduate next fall. Waste of my god damn money. Only reason I went this far in school was to get my mother off my back. Cause I know if I never got a Bachelor's I'd fuckin' hear about it for the rest of my life. This is bogus. My dad never went to college and he's more financially stable than my mother who just got her Master's is. Why? My dad knows how to spend his money and knows how to save it. He also has worked a shit ton of overtime at his job to save a lot of that money. Which is fine. I wouldn't care if I ended up at the post office my dad works at because I know if he can succeed there, then it's possible for me to as well. I don't necessarily want to work at a post office my entire life like he has. Not because I think it's a bad thing, but because it's just something that doesn't really interest me. My dad is happy there, he's always been happy there and he's a happy guy all around and I look up to him for it. It just shows you that you don't need a fuckin college education like everyone says you do . He raised a family of five people for about 18 years before my parents divorced. No college education. Just plain old-fashioned hardwork and smart spending. That's all I want in life. I just want to be able to support myself, and if I ever have a family I want to be able to support them as well. I don't need a college education to do that. College doesn't teach how to succeed in life. |
