Yay for good ol Plasma!

Well my laundry is in the dryer, and its still not dry so I am up just waiting for it to be done so I decided to write a post.



For this last year, I have been the fundraising chairman for Phi Sigma Kappa. For this I am in charge of raising money for the chapter. Today was a burger king benefit night, which is where we get a percentage of BK's sales for the night if we make sure their lobby is clean. Its actually a really good fundraiser, we usually get 200-300 dollars for it.



This year I worked as the womens basketball manager. I didn't make much money, but enough to get me by, tonight was their last home game and we won!!! It was really exciting, the girls won by 2! Good way to end the season :)



Well thanks to my fundraising efforts, most of formal will be paid for by the chapter, so for those of you wondering how a poor college student can afford to do all these formals, well its cause they dont cost very much to me at least :). St Louis actually ended up being pretty inexpensive too! You will have to ask Megan about how much hers cost, but I am sure they are not too bad at all. Far as I know they are free. :) but I applied for a few jobs today, since basketball is ending, I am losing my only source of income, :(. I might not get a job though, because I dont want to work weekends, cause I want to be able to come home on the weekends whenever I want! I guess I will keep on donating that plasma, I get 70 dollars for my Saturday donation!!!

Well thats all I got to say, I get to see Megan in St Joe this weekend!!!

Its been a great Six Months

Well the 23rd was me and Megan's official six months. It has really been a great time, we have been able to do a lot of really fun stuff!!! I am really excited about all the stuff we get to do in the future also!!! Everything is going really GREAT :)!!!

So me and Megan are going to have to really look nice for the rest of the semester, we have PSK semi formal on March 14th, then PSK Formal on April 4th, then GAL formal on April 17th, and then DSP formal on the 18th...That should create a lot more nice pictures!!!

Well six months has really flown by, I guess time flys when your having fun :)!!

Picture was taken on August 23rd, our first date at the Royals/Christian concert/IHOP :)

at least I am not living in the slums!

Yesterday I went to UCM to see the basketball game against Northwest. UCM won easily, but I mainly went there to see Carrie anyways, I knew Northwest really didn't have too much of a chance against UCM, since UCM is one of the best in the nation when it comes to basketball.

While I was there I watched a movie called slumdog millionaire, which I recommend! It was a very powerful movie, with a interesting storyline. One thing that movie really shows is how great we have it America, no matter how bad the ecomomy gets, we are still extremely blessed compared to other countries, like India (where the movie is based)

I dont know if I am gonna go on that trip to New Orleans now, I may try to make some money by doing a study, but we will see, there are also other things I am interested in possibly doing over the break, but going to New Orleans for that cheap of price is really a great deal, so we will see where God leads my heart on that one.

And as far as where I am going to live next year, I still have nothing...Ahh what a deal :(

Note: Drinking Hydrive energy later than 9pm can cause insomnia, on Friday night I tried going to bed at 12, I ended up pulling a all nighter right before my trip to UCM, because of the buzz of the energy drink. I will say it did taste quality, but wow, was it powerful.

The College Basketball Experience

Across the nation, hundreds of thousands of men have full-ride basketball scholarships to schools such as Kansas, and Oklahoma, Duke and North Carolina, but also schools such as Northwest Missouri State, University of Central Missouri, and Lindenwood. Even basketball players at a even lower level field athletic scholarships for schools such as William Jewel and Avila. All earning school tuition for their play in basketball, a dream for any die hard fan of the sport.

I love basketball, and play it frequently, but even the worst of the worst college basketball players is so far on a different level of skill than me it is amazing. At the Sprint Center in Kansas City it gives everyone the chance to be a "college basketball player" for a day. It has games where you shoot to beat the clock, shoot a free throw with crowd noise and pressure, and even has lower rims so you can dunk like the big boys. Its an amazing feeling, not too mention the chills down your spine you get as you walk through the college basketball hall of fame, which is connected to the college basketball experience.

After attending the CBE for the second time in a month, me and Stephen attended a UMKC basketball game. The Kangaroos pulled out a buzzer beater victory to win 61-59. It was an amazing game to watch, and I couldn't help but think how great of feeling it would be to play even for a school like UMKC that gets very little fan attention. Not too mention a big school such as Kansas or North Carolina.

I love sports, and being a college athlete is something I will always wish I could have had a chance to be, but that wasn't God's plan for my life, but it sure was nice, living that dream for a day!

Staying pretty in St louis, Say it like Lou-ee so it rhymes :)

Thought I would show you how lucky I am...I have a pretty amazing girlfriend :), not to brag or anything.

I have to stop procrastinating though and get to my homework, gosh

So much fun in St Louis!!!

Well I had a pretty amazing weekend. For Valentines day I went on a road trip to St Louis. Me and megan saw the arch, went to a really nice restaurant, Dressed up really nice, and kinda took a look around a pretty cool city.

It turned out being one of the best weekends I have ever had!!! It was so fun! I used the money I had planned/saved for formal this weekend (formal was cancelled) so everything worked out really great! This weekend was also a celebration of six months with Megan, not to mention Valentines day!

Well back to school, gotta get on that homework, and I still have nowhere to live next year. AHH I just wish the FVA were not so full!!!

Oh where shall I live :( But I get to build houses!!!

Well my living arrangement for next year was all but set up, when suddenly I found out I had nothing! I was scheduled to live in the forest village apartments, but unfortunately that fell through and I am left here with nothing at all. I could go on about how mad I am at the person who said that I would "for sure" get a room, and said "there was no way FVA would fill up" but I guess I will hold my tongue. ERRR!!!

Well on a lighter note, I have made plans on going to New Orleans on a missions trip over spring break!!! We will be helping those who are still affected by the damaging effects of hurricane katrina. I have never done a mission trip before so I am very excited about this opportunity. It should be a great experiance, but also alot of work. Sponsorship for travel, food, and expenses to build houses is available, contact me if your interested.

Well this weekend is Valentines day, I am pretty excited!!! I just want this day to be over, I have too much homework to work on :( and I am way too distracted with other things.

Hmm Japanese Steak!

Went to a Japanese Steakhouse for the first time tonight and it was really good and alot of fun!!! The best part was the entertainment we got from the cook, he was pretty hillarious. It was definately a new a fun experience that I think almost anyone would enjoy at least once!

Well after dinner, I watched the Jayhawks fall to the tigers, even though I am somewhat dissapointed, I do take in consideration that all Jayhawk fans were very blessed last year with the national title, We will get em next time! Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!

Well I should stop procrastinating on my homework!!! I know something is due in Special Ed tommarro I just dont know what. I heard some kid in the class comment "This class is retarded" lol get it??? Well besides all the paperwork we have to do, I have been enjoying my time at the bowling alley and the pre-school!

Well thats about it, this upcoming weekend is Valentines day, oh boy! This will be the first time I have ever had a girlfriend or even a date for that matter on Valentines day, Yippee!!

Birthday birthday birthday...

Well I celebrated Megans birthday Friday night, which was really fun. We went to the Zona Rosa went shopping and saw a movie. We saw the new "he is just not that into you" It was funny for the most part. I liked it. We also went to cold stone!!! I love Ice Cream, this time I had twix in my ice cream instead of snickers, just so you know lol.

Saturday me and steve went all the way back up to the ville to watch Northwest basketball. I actually had to teach a seminar from 1030-1, so we left pretty early in the morning. Everything went pretty well, the girls lost, but the guys won in a close, exciting victory.

Today I went to church with mom and barry and had some subway it was really Good. Then we went to Leandras birthday party which I thought was Ethans birthday party, whoops, anyways it was nice to see everyone again. Megan came also, and was happy to meet more of my family!!

Today is also Jon R's, Kevin B's, Deborah J and James F's Birthday. Tommarro I am going to celebrate jons bday tommarro by going to the fugi in St Joe to eat! Seems like alot of people are born in February lol

Thats about all I have to say...I was trying to think of a way to make this post "interesting or funny" but I am just not very good at that, :( Aww well

Ready for a new post!

Well its Thursday night, actually friday morning, and I am doing laundry because I dont want to have to do it over the weekend. So while waiting for my last load to finally dry I decided to blog it up.

Everything has been going well for me up here at Northwest, getting things done and progressing through the school year. Been talking to Garrett about next year actually, turns out we might actually get an apartment together in the Forest Village apartments. The "FVA" as they call it, is on campus, which helps me cause I will then get it for a heavily discounted price. It would be nice to bring back the old roommates again one final time, but heck who knows what will happen, its 50/50 right now.

This weekend will again be full of travel for me, but it will be fun! Tommarro I will head to KC to be with Megan. Her birthday was the fourth, so we are somewhat celebrating her birthday. I am excited to see her, I always am missing her throughout the weeks. She makes my weeks drag on, but she also makes my weekends fly by. Saturday, me and Stephen will head back up to Maryville to watch the Bearcats take on the Gorillas of Pittsburgh State. It will be fun to hang with Steve and see a good basketball game.

BTW played another intermural game tonight, played much better than last week :)

Well thats it for now :)

Ahh!!! I am a dinosaur

Well I taught the preschoolers today. I set up a dinosaur themed obstacle course. The kids pretended like they were a fierce dinosaur, doing forward rolls, backward rolls, and running through bowling pins. It was really fun to see them all having so much fun too.

Well I have alot of stuff going on this week, I have a big test tonight in Special Ed, a test tommarro in Multiculteralism, and a test friday in Biomechanics. Then a test in creative movement on thursday. YAY!!! lol not too mention we are in the biggest part of the intermural season and I have a game thursday night at 7.

Well I better get studying...Is it the weekend yet???

Super Bowl...not so super, but I have a super girl :)

Well watched the super bowl today, and it was quite the exciting game. It will go down in the history books as one of the most exciting ever. The Pittsburgh Steelers however, pulled it out. This outcome made me very sad. I really wanted the Cardinals to win the game.

On the other hand I got to watch the game with a very pretty girl, her name is Megan, and she makes me happy even if a football game doesn't go my way. She has made the last 5 months very exciting.

Well this is going to be a short post, but its getting late. I have a very busy week ahead of me, but Ill be fine, I just have to keep pressing on! Megans birthday is on Wednesday, its her 20th isn't she pretty?
