Boo Yah!
Just found out I got a 113/120 (94%) on my Microbio test and 93.15/100 (don't ask about the .15, I found that quite hilarious too) on my CRM J 330 test. That's a 95% average for three of the tests I took last week...
Looks like not having a life for a week and a half actually paid off.
Now, to steal something from my good friend Ryan (who also stole it), in hopes that someone other than Ryan or Peter would post a comment (not that I don't love it when you guys do, I just KNOW there are others out there who read and don't comment...*tear*):
Post anything that you want, and post it anonymously.
Anything.
a story,
a secret,
a confession,
a fear,
a love,
ANYTHING.
Be sure to post anonymously and honestly. Post more than once, if you'd like.
(You don't have to post anonymously if you really don't want to.)
The only restriction is: no talk of morning wood (Peter).

Finally, a weekend to relax
So I made it through my "he-double-hockey-sticks week" and can live to tell about it... which is what I shall do.
Of the four tests, I'm really only worried about my CRM J 330 test... we'll see how I did on Tuesday. I don't know my scores for Microbio or FORL 101, but I'm pretty confident about those. I already know my Chem 101 score since it was on a scantron, and I'm happy to report a 98/100!
Obviously, I was looking forward to this weekend so I could relax for a change. Unfortunately, I found out Friday afternoon that the mock homicide investigation scene I was planning on attending yesterday was full... and it was too late to go on the CRU Fall Retreat. I was rather upset, moreso with myself for repeatedly forgetting to ask about the homicide scene earlier this week, because I would have gone to the retreat if I hadn't known about it. It would have been a great opportunity to learn and grow, and I would've been surrounded by all my friends (I hope you all had fun!), so I'm PROMISING everyone now, I'm going to Spring Retreat.
Anywho... Friday night was very uneventful. I was extremely tired since I averaged around 5 1/2 hours of sleep each night this week. We (the guys in the house) had many impromptu wrestling matches... and it was always Peter vs. whoever else was interested. Needless to say, he received many a titty twister that evening.
Saturday afternoon was spent watching the Cougars play Arizona, of course. For those of you that didn't hear or watch the game... you TOTALLY missed out! We were down 19-14 with less than 1 1/2 minutes left in the game when Arizona got a first down, and we had only one timeout remaining. On the next play, their running back fumbled and we recovered. A few plays later, Swogs found Jason "Big Time" Hill in the endzone and we won 20-19! Oh man... Peter, Dane, and I were screaming at the top of our lungs (which probably explains why my throat has been hurting today).
Shortly after that, we went and played a huge game of tackle football of our own. It was SOOOO much fun... Peter was an offensive machine and I held down the defense with a couple picks, passes deflected, and numerous open-field solo tackles against guys that were definitely bigger than me. I think one of them may have given me a very mild concussion when he landed on me, but it's all good. My entire body aches from that, and probably will for another three days, but it was definitely worth it.
Then we met Jackie, Amanda, and Jenn at Nuthouse, which was funny as always. We came back here and ate a bit, then we (Dane, Stacy (his gf), Molly (her friend), Peter, and I) headed up to Up All Night at the CUB. We ate some buffalo chicken wings, corn dogs, cheesy fries, and orange sherbert ice cream cups (which are AWESOME) before heading down to the games area. It looked like we were going to luck out and get a lane to bowl on, but some punk@$$ guy cut in front of us, while we were in line, and took it. That pissed me off since only 6 of the 10 lanes were working in the first place. Since no one else was going to finish bowling soon, Peter and Dane started playing ping pong, I practiced some pool, and Stacy and Molly went and got their picture taken with Chunk from the Goonies. We all went to "the Flix" (haha) after that since the girls wanted to rent the Goonies, but they didn't have it.
By this time, it was well after 1 a.m., and I'm pretty sure you all figured out what happend after that if you happened to read someone else's blog (he was the only one, I swear!). We were blasting some music, including "I'll Be Missing You," "Regulators," and "Ice Ice Baby" while dancing around and chatting, until we decided to play Monopoly (at 3 a.m.). We played it to where if you have to pay money for something that would normally go to the bank, like properties, taxes, and chance/community chest cards, it went into the middle and whoever landed on "Free Parking" got all the money. Soon, because no money goes back into the bank, we were forced to eliminate the $1 bill and use it as $500 bills. Peter quit within half an hour, and I took out Dane another half hour later. After that, Molly and Stacy "joined forces" against ONLY me. They had hotels on the Yellows, Light Blues, and Purples, while I only had hotels on "Park Place" and "Boardwalk" (we were actually playing the Seattle edition). We played until around 5:30, when they realized that they weren't taking me out... and we ended up quitting with almost equal amounts of money (which is surprising since at one point they had at least $10000 more than me).
Today was spent sleeping in (it felt SOOO good) and watching Star Wars: A New Hope on DVD (it's the first of the original trilogy). I could be doing homework or studying, but as Ryan pointed out... I deserve a break since I was doing that exact thing for a week and a half straight. All I have this week is chem homework and pre-lab due on Wednesday, CRM J 320 (criminal law) test on Thursday, and Chem quiz on Friday.
This upcoming weekend, my sister and possibly my friend Adam are coming over to visit, so I'm excited for that. I also have an induction ceremony thing for this National Society of Collegiate Scholars (I think that's what it's called) on Saturday.
That's about all I have for now... and sorry to disappoint, but no pictures this time (I'm sure you all loved the last ones). I could really go for a massage right now... even my face muscles hurt from football yesterday.
And that's no laughing matter.

Busy, busy week
Ok, so for those of you that don't know, I have four tests this week... which also means I won't be having much of a social life (and haven't really as of late). In addition to that, I have two case briefs due tomorrow (I finished them half an hour ago), and a LONG chem lab report and homework assignment due on Wednesday (which I intelligently did this weekend). I had one test today, Microbio 101, and I'm pretty sure I'll get an A, B+ at the absolute lowest (despite studying for it for a mere 2.5 hours total. Tomorrow night will consist of a Chem review session and studying with Molly (not to mention going to get the Star Wars trilogy on DVD at Wally World after class!). Wednesday will be more studying, since Thursday is a CRM J 330 test at 10:35 a.m. (I haven't opened any of the three books for that class yet!) and CHEM 101 test at 6 p.m. Immeadiately after that is CRU, then I'm back here to study for my FORL 101 test on Friday morning at 10. That means no dancing for the first time this school year ;(
Anywho... that's whats up with me this week, so don't be shocked to see away messages through the weekend.
Oh, and I thought I'd share with y'all my scientific adventures from Microbio lab... The following pictures are of an agar (nutrient) plate that had been sitting at room temperature for FOUR days after I rubbed a QUARTER on it.
WARNING: If you just ate, you might want to come back in a few hours...

My Room!
So I finally took the time to download that stupid program and attempted to understand it's unorthodox methods... all so I could follow through with those pictures I promised of my room for those of you that a) live in Pullman but haven't come seen it yet, and b) live on the other side of the state and haven't been kidnapped by someone and forced to come see it and our house.
Yeah, there's 10 things plugged into ONE outlet (including a computer, stereo, refrigerator, and microwave). And those are French chopsticks and a French hotel towel with the letter B embroidered in it on the wall... courtesy of Peter.
Yep, thats POOH.
So, the top three rows of the DVD rack are all mine... with 3 more to be added soon. Oh, and notice the red 3-wheeler and books that I likely will never read... nice touch, eh?
Anywho, does anyone happen to know of something that will erase memories from your weekend (that doesn't involve alcohol)?
I could sure use it about now.

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.
