| Im pretty sure its been about two or so years since I have been here. Its kind of an interesting return considering why I stopped using this site. Well, I guess my little blurb will be.... Sometimes I think I have checked out, but the thought of actually checking out of this place is still really scary. When it comes down to it, its actually the place that I do not want to leave. For the most part, I think I am ready to leave the situation and most of the people here, but then I am horrible about keeping in contact with people. That really isn't how I figured things would turn out when I came to Truman five years ago. I always thought that the people would be why I stay, but when I look at things today, that just doesnt seem to be the way it is. Most of the people I really knew at Truman have gone already, and those that are still here are wonderful, but they have their own lives and I generally think I just dont fit into that plan. So, here I am again, back with this site, and from the activity of the all the subscriptions from people, it should be a nice quiet inner monolouge for me to use :) | | |
| Its been about a month since I last wrote in here. The semester is
about to come to a close.... I am completely ok with that... I am
definately ready to head home for break. Its not even that I am
desperate for money, or no school, or even to see my friends from home,
I just am ready for a break from Kirksville. Definately ready for
a break from NRHH stuff, a break from SA stuff, a break from all of my
many committments. Its not school that wears me out, its definately
everything else. I guess that is a comforting thought in regards that I
will be in school for quite a while still, so I guess its good that I
am not burnt out on school. Just burnt out on pretty much the rest of
my life.
Cannot wait till arenaball tonight. Volleyball was really good today
though, it was a bunch of really good games. I miss competition
sometimes. Its a funny peculiarity that I am a SA sometimes. Such a
public position for a person who so loves having a private life. Oh
well, I enjoy what I do, I just need a break from it and from
Kirksville.

| I had a very hallowing dream last night. I remember just having to say
goodbye to my aunt Carol and my uncle David, over and over again.
I dont have any cousins, only one grand parent left, so my aunts and
uncles are really the only extended family I have left, save for
Grandpa Tony, who is immortal by the way :). So the concept of saying
goodbye to them over and over again was really kind sad after I thought
about it. While I was still dreaming, and right afterwards, I was
happy. I really love my uncles and aunt. They are all really awesome
and the concept of having them around just made me happy. But when I
went to church a little while later, I found myself really sad. I don't
really know why. Just not having seen them all in soo long has really
just sucked. I truly cannot remember the last time I saw Tom, it might
have been my Eagle ceremony almost four years ago. Its been at least a
year since I have seen Grandpa Tony and Carol. And I don't think I have
seen Scott and maybe David since my grandma's funeral. That has been
too long. I need to see all of them again. But I know the earliest I
could really do that will probably be Christmas Break. And trust me,
that is way to far away.
So that has been thought in the back of my mind all day.
It was just a dream....
But that dream changed a day, and a mindset...

| Well today is Guy Fawkes Day! Thats exciting I guess. I remember
getting into an argument with Evie a couple years ago about Guy Fawkes
Day meaning more to the Scottish because he was actually Scottish. I
think the Irish just hate the British more, so thats why it means more
to them. Either way, it was a fun conversation and that was just a
random Guy Fawkes memory for ya.
Oh, if you dont know what Guy Fawkes Day is, you can either google it
or watch V for Vendetta, although the movie isnt about the day directly
it does reference it enough for you to get the picture.
Other than Guy Fawkes Day, which I am sure none of you care at all
about, life has been kinda dull still. Definately want to go out this
weekend, so that will hopefully be alot of fun. School is school. I
have a couple tests on Thursday, just like last time, my teachers
schedule the only tests I have had in a month on the same day to try
and kill me. Oh well, they havent succeeded yet.
Arenaball kinda pissed me off last night. Came back with a truly
bloodied knee, my wrist hurt again, both ankles sore, and my elbow
rehurt. Now this may seem like more than enough reason to stop playing
the game, but when its done right it is such an amazing game to play,
and save for a few people, those who play are absolutely awesome! But
last night, it was pretty shitty. For like the last eight or so games,
we played on the same damn uneven teams, so that each time we did a new
set and repicked teams, the teams stayed the same save for maybe one
person. And each time they were unfair, each time (save the last one) I
got stuck in goal, which is typically alright, I like playing goal, but
not when the teams were fucked up like this. So that maybe the four or
five best players out there are all on the same team, and it just
becomes those five all taking shots at me. I took a couple shots to the
head, neck, sprained wrist, all this shit to try and help my team and
save goals (which I know is the job of the goalie) but not like that.
After a while, I just stopped caring. They were getting away with turns
(turnovers) that would end up in goals, and at one point during one of
the games, I tried to run with the ball out of the goal, and as I was
getting back to the goal ran over a girl playing, I mean completely
leveled her, and as I stop to see if she is alright, they keep playing
and score a 3pt goal. I mean, seriously, some things are more important
than scoring goals. I was easily a 100plus pounds heavier than that
girl running at full speed, and because I stop to make sure she is
alright, my team suffers. I see something wrong there, and I dont know
if I want to go back to that kind of environment for a while.
So in a nutshell, that is the rather long, but still quite abbreviated version of Nick's life right now.
Things left on my plate to handle:
NRHH
GRE
Observation Hours
None of which have been easy to deal with right now......
Peace folks, later days!!!!

| Boy, its been a while since my last entry.
Well, we just got ramrodded in softball, that blows ass. But other than
that, my life is just kinda eh. Nothing has been too exciting.
Staff retreat was alot of fun, but now im back to "Where am I?" I am
graduating in a year. I have alot of graduation stuff to do, NRHH
stuff, RHA stuff, and ResLife stuff, but I dont know what I want to do.
I still dont feel like I have found a niche this year or have I really
found where I want to be.
I want to be doing more to just have fun with friends. And very
importantly with different types of friends. I like playing games in
the lounge, but I also like to go and hang out, I like to just do
random things. Sometime this year I want tojust go to Columbia and do
something. Dustin's idea of just planning a trip to a casino to go play
poker sounds about as amazing as can be. I really just want the routine
to be broken and never reestablished!!!
So thats pretty much an update of my life. I currently find myself
beginning to fall into a routine of hanging out with the same people,
and that is a DEFINITE goal for the year. I refuse to leave college not
having some random crazy stories of my senior year of college!!!!
