Scattered Thoughts

To all of you who don't care what is happening in my life, this entry is not for you.

Ok, I think I'm done messing with the design of this blog for a while. I've finally landed on something I like, so I'm going to stick with it for some time. Not that I didn't like the Calvin and Hobbes layout, but I like this one better. For those of you who are wondering, the picture in the background is of the Beck Chapel, Indiana Memorial Union and the Jordan River. I took the picture at midnight using no flash and a 15 second shutter. It's one of the best pictures that I've taken with the camera. Here is a link to the unedited image file. It's also on my photoblog.

I've been caught up in the flurry that is college lately. My classes this semester are arranged so that two of them, assignments are due on Wednesdays, the other two, the assignments are due on Mondays. I've been trying to get my homework done early, but when I do, there's another assignment staring me in the face. It really sucks, but I'll get over it.

My weekend was fairly unproductive. I worked Sat till noon, then did some apt. shopping. The first apt. that Will, Chris and I went to to look at was out where Erin, Beth and Shae live. It was a nice place, but one of the water pipes had broken and there was water everywhere. It's a good thing that we went to look at the place Sat. or it would have been more flooded. I feel bad for the lady who owns the property, she was so flustered. Sadly, the water problem was a deciding factor in us not wanting to live there. From our experience, the apartments out there have problems with their water services and such. Whatever…

The IU vs. Iowa basketball game was a bust. It was one of the most boring basketball games I've seen in a long time. The first two halfs of the game were unbelievably slow. I just wanted the game to end, no matter the outcome. Then we went into overtime… and then again into double overtime… I hate few teams in the NCAA, in fact, I can name them here… Michigan State, Iowa, Ohio State, Purdue, Kentucky and Duke. I think those are pretty standard (a few of them anyway).

After the game, Erin and I roadtripped to the 'ville so I could fix my parent's computer. We rented Identity because Lost in Translation was all out everywhere in town. The movie was really creepy in the sort of Fight Club, Memento kind of way. I enjoyed it, Erin, not so much.

After fixing the computer on Sunday morning, we headed back to B'ton because I had a lease signing apt. at 1, and Erin had to play at the women's b'ball game at 1:30. Which leads me to my next topic…

We signed a lease yesterday! I will be living at Crimson Crossing (on Kinser Pk). Here is more information about the apt. including floorplans and pictures. It's going to be such a fun year, I'm looking forward to it.

After lease signing, it was intramural basketball. We lost by a lot of points again, but I don't care, I had fun playing and that's the reason we've got a team. Afterward, I did about 15 minutes of work on my campus board, then went to bed. That brings me to where I am now… I know, it's exciting.

And now, for the randomness that comes with a graveyard shift…
