Back to the days of old...
Indeed, I have been neglecting my blogging duties as of late. For those of you regular readers out there (Ryan), I apologize. I really should be doing this more often now that I'm on the other side of the state, and it's not everyday that you get kidnapped by your step-dad and get to come visit (Ryan), so I will try to update on a semi-regular basis. My 17 credit schedule might have something to say about that, however. Speaking of, I'm going to try and pull some trickery and add my class schedule to the links (aka: post-date an entry with my class schedule on it and use a link to that... if you know of a better way, lemme know).
Okay, so here's the short version of what's happened in my life since the last update...
With the help of my dad, I moved back over to school and into our house on August 14th. Peter had been here for like a month, yet nothing was setup because he couldn't move it from storage, so we all did that. My dad left for home the next day and the ensuing few days were spent setting up my room. I'll put a couple pics of it later, for those of you that haven't have the fortune of seeing it yet. John moved in on the 17th and Erik came on the 18th. Their friend Dane moved in around the same time, but because the basement construction isn't done and we only have four bedrooms, he's been sleeping on the couch since. He doesn't acually go here, but his longtime girlfriend does and he plans to next year after establishing residency. The rest of the week was filled with poker nights and a trip to Lewiston to get Quizno's and area rugs for our rooms, but I also smoked Peter in bowling and won a couple bucks out of it. Woo hoo for friendly wagers and gambling!
The 21st (the Saturday before school started), Peter, Laura, Jessica, and I went to Up All Night... where we ran into tons of friends, including the awesome RA Ben Doornink (who joined our little group). We all watched the hypnotist show... those are always a good time. Afterward, us guys bowled a game, which I won, of course. The 22nd was my birthday and also the day before school started, which meant EVERYONE was busy with hall meetings and such. We ended up playing poker again, but I lost $5 because I couldn't catch a hand/flop to save my life. I did get happy birthday calls from a few people, but that was limited to about four or five people. All in all, it wasn't one of my favorite birthdays, but probably not the worst either.
School and hanging out with friends has consumed most of my time since. CRU and country swing dancing on Thursday nights have been awesome as always. Other major things include: Jackie's birthday party last Saturday (got to hang out with her and her friends... definitely a good time), poker (pretty much every other or every third day), a certain someone being kidnapped and coming to visit Peter and me (sadly, for only a day... but once again, it was still great to see him), my introduction to the game of racquetball (which is tons of fun... except for the lame goggles you have to wear), and the arrival of our 36" High Definition flatscreen TV and 6.1-channel 700W surround sound system on Tuesday. It's a great way to watch college football games, as I found out while watching WSU come back to beat New Mexico 21-17 on Friday night. GO COUGS!
Anywho... I chose to spend my Labor Day weekend here in Pullman... getting my Chem homework (aka: busy work) and FORL ASL assignment done. Now all I have to do is a political socialization paper and chem pre-lab and I'll be caught up... ugh.
So yeah.... that's about it. And unfortunately, those pictures will have to wait for another day as I'm too busy to figure out Blogger's picture uploading program thingy.
On a final note: Nuthouse and bowling this weekend anyone? Leave a comment if you're game.
