Winding down freshman year

With each passing day, I can't help but try to fathom the idea that in less than 3 weeks (18 days to be exact) I'll no longer be a freshman in college. It's a pretty incredible thought, seeing as how it feels like I just left good ole high school. Sure don't miss high school but still, it's crazy.

As I sit here and think about the past 8+months of my life, I'd like to give a shout out to everyone who I have shared my first year of college experience with-from everyone to my roommates to other people who live in my dorm to those weird creepy guys who talk to you on High Street at 3 a.m. and ask for some of your Cane's. Without you, freshman year just wouldn't have been the same. The relationships I've made, kept, and am still developing have helped me realize what's really important in life and when is the right time to do some things and when is the wrong time for others to happen.

They say that everything is downhill after your freshman year, and I'd really not like to believe that. I still think that I will have just as much fun next year if not more as I did this year, even if I'm not living on campus. Dorm life is great-trust me, I wrote an article about it (click here)-but I'm not gonna lie, I'm ready to move on from the whole living with 3 other people in one room. I'll miss everyone that has been an inhabitant of my dorm with me without a doubt but I feel confident that we'll all keep in touch (we'll have to, to an extent, because of Mount) and that more great times next year are on the horizon. Plus, my apartment next year is about to be the bee's knees. It'll be awesome, and Mom I promise I'll get my schoolwork done.

Anyways, this weekend was pretty solid. It had everything from spending great times with great friends both new and old, to late night laundry and burritos runs, to seeing a show on campus called the Drowsy Chaperone, to a forgotten visit from the rents that served as my Saturday alarm clock. (Sorry Mom and Pop, I was awake but fell back asleep and my phone was on silent. James really enjoyed talking to you on the phone though-he won't shut up about it.)

The weather was rather lovely, and I yet again spent some time on the Broval yesterday and got a solid sunburn from it. We all need to enjoy it though, because I've heard whispers that its downhill from here regarding the week. Awesome.

As for the sports world? Well, there won't be a Triple Crown winner this year in terms of horse racing (big shocker), the Reds have continued to frustrate me more and more, and the NBA playoffs are heating up. Dirk and his mates went to OKC last night and got a big W and the Bulls and Heat are locked in a tight one right now. The Reds have now lost 5 straight after their terrible, one could even call painful, loss at the hands of the Windians again today. At least we don't start a four game series at Philly tomorrow night. Oh wait.

Quote of the weekend: "Dude, the guy last night at Cane's who bought us 25 free fingers? Unreal!"-my roommate today explaining what happened last night while I was asleep.

Man, I really love this university.

Marketplace: so much closer when its not raining

Alright, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you all on this one: if you don't go to The Ohio State University, or have never visited (and when I say visited I mean stayed over a night and ate with someone during the day) you more than likely will have no idea what in the world I'm going to talk about right now. As for all my fellow Buckeyes who may read this, including the two that I enjoyed a delightful dinner at Marketplace with tonight, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. So needless to say, proceed at your own risk. If you think you'll get bored or annoyed or anything of that nature, here is something else you can do to entertain yourself. Ok, so first off let me start by saying that being a member of North Campus has both its positives and negatives, much like every other living place on campus. The positives are (from the way I see them) as follows: close to essentially all the main buildings where classes are, close to High St. and Lane Ave., ...

Missing the Old Days

It's been a few days since my last post, but my life had been less than exciting between then and now until last night so I didn't really see a reason to post. As I awoke this morning and popped two brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts into the toaster I turned on the TV for the typical start to my day-breakfast and Sportscenter. At commercial, I started surfing through those beloved Time Warner Cable channels that my family and I have been stuck on for who knows how long. I went all the way up to the upper 50s and stopped at 57 when I saw members of the scarlet and gray running onto the field at Iowa. Intrigued, it only took me a few seconds to realize that the Big Ten Network was showing their program known as Big Ten in 60, a quick run through of either football or basketball games in 60 minutes, and that this morning's flavor was this past season's game between Ohio State and Iowa. This was a game in which, as I'm sure we all remember, the Buckeyes were in a fight all...

Gummi Bears

So, my sister is home as you know, and being typical Carmen she has had her cravings regarding sweets. And of course, she is not afraid to voice them. It was late yesterday afternoon/evening when my mother and I were going through my closet cleaning out old shirts and what not when she came into my room and sat on my bed just to make her presence known. It didn't take her long to find an old (and I mean old) box of unopened Nerds candy. Quickly springing into action she snatched them up and asked me if she could have them. I said sure, noting the fact that she had mentioned to me numerous times how all she wanted was gummi bears or some sort of sweet candies. My dear sweet mother, the amazing woman that she is, brought home some gummi bears tonight for her daughter. She alerted me to this right away, but I did not get the text message until about an hour after she sent it to me as I was indisposed at that moment. I had stopped by my best friends house for dinner after a run and had...
