Me and my randomness

So after tomorrow I will officially be staying in Valpo for the summer.  I'll be staying on campus as a Conference Assistant.  I basically am in charge of making sure that some of the conferences/camps go smoothly during the summer.  So like getting them moved in and getting their meeting rooms ready and all that good stuff.  But yeah,  people should come visit me sometime cuz it would be a good time.

So why is it that all of my friends get to have relationships and i can see everyone else around me getting that person and yet i end up with nothing.  How is it that i can even introduce people and then not get a thing out of it.  I seriously dont understand it.  Is there something about me that turns guys off?  People are finding their special people or at least someone that is special for the time being and yet i'm finding no one.  Its as if they dont even exist out there.  I mean sure i'm not going out there and trying to meet a million people but would that even help.  People just seem to not find me as that person i guess.  but i'm a nice guy.  I'm huggable and compassionate and all that jazz right.  i know that somebody must like me but i can't find them.  the saddest part is the two people i thought i had a shot with are now together and i mean at this very moment i'm writing this they are together.  and that sucks but whatev i'll find somebody even more amazing right?

So things have definitely been interesting around college lately. Classes and such are normal nothing special there but dorm life...holy cow. It is rediculous around here half the time. The drama that happened in high is here two just we talk about it all the time cuz we live together. People are ok for the most of the time but cliques are forming and it's getting aggrivating. For me, cliques suck and I try and join a number of them. Yeah this doesnt work out to well cuz then I miss out on half of what is happening one place and its just screwy. I also haven't found that one person that I can really just sit and chat with and tell like everything. (I know I can call you but its not the same as having you here.) I'm still having fun though and its great around here - the drama.

But new topic, I'm going to the U of I on friday or saturday and i can't wait to see everyone and they mom's minus the mom's. It has been way too long and it makes me sad. But i'll see ya soon. YYYAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

so yeah i havent posted in freaking forever but thats cuz if people want to know how i'm doing they just IM me. But for those of you who dont IM me, I'm at college having the time of my life. Well almost at least, but it is amazing here. I have actually decided to switch from engineering to psychology for my major. I just learned that i hate math so it ruins that the engineering thing. I have been busy and have met a million new people. I'm coming home for thanksgiving and i can't wait to hopefully see like everyone. cuz i miss everyone tons and its weird not seeing people that i really know for this long. well i have class tomorrow som i'm going to get some sleep.

ok so if you havent heard mari is planning a big party for her birthday. she is planning on having a co-ed sleep over in her back yard in tents with out the sleeping.
i have been thinking about going to St. louis and going out to clubs or doing something crazy for my birthday. So we decided to maybe combine the two.
We are thinking maybe going to St. louis on the 24th or 25th and going clubbing or doing something crazy. then we would spend the night in st louis at a friends house. then we would come back and go to mari's thing on the 26th or 27th not sure on the exact dates but if you think you can go or think you can escape please respond so we know if it would actually work. thanks.

two days ago i went diving around a sunken battleship in the "middle" of the ocean. it was the most fun ever. there were all kinds of cool fish like everywhere. there were school of baby squid and other little fish as well as just some lion fish just kinda lying around. it was fun to be breathing underwater and just go in and around this ship. it just plain out rocked.
*****
so being at my grandparents house is just awesome. there are like 15 of us here and last night after dinner we were up till like 12 just telling random hilarious stories or at least the parents were. they were talking about stuff they did and school and such and some of the things my uncle did um wow didnt know that but its great.

i hope everyone is having a great christmas cuz i deffinitely am. so what is going on for new years cuz im gonna be home so yeah.

so it was actually really nice today in the shade at least. well yesterday I went to the AUSTRALIA ZOO which rocked. It was the most fun ever. My two well I don’t know what they are they are my cousins children, went with us along with the cousin of course. We saw a croc show and a bird show and a tiger and it was seriously the most fun ever.
I took heaps and heaps of photos of all of the Australian animals. and the others that were Australian but oh well.

Today though my brother and his girlfriend arrived and we went for a pool session to remember all of the scuba stuff. OH YEAH LAUREN DONT READ THIS. It was tons of fun just the whole breathing underwater stuff. It was heaps of fun and tomorrow we go out to the ocean and get to dive out there. We don’t actually get out to the ship until like Thursday or something but still scuba diving in the ocean is awesome.

well i better go and stop hogging the computer but i will see you all on the 30th of December. (well maybe the 31st depends what time we get in)

have fun in your snow if you like it and if you dont; well you can just keep wanting to be me.

hello all
it has taken a while for me to get anything up but here it is.
Nothing all that exciting has happened to me since ive been here. I just spent time with relatives. I went into the big city Brisbane and that was loads of fun. I spent the day with Helena there.(she lives 5 mins from the city.) So that was fun and after that I went with the rents to a Christmas Carol thing in the Roma Street Parkland. It was cool because they had a some great singers. But it was kinda sorta raining and and pretty warm out and they were singing jingle bells. It was crazy but it was a good time. Then we came down to my cousin Laceys house and she has too little girls and a husband so its been interesting.
Next week is gonna be awesome though. We're going scuba diving basically all of next week a couple practice dives and then we get to dive around a sunken ship. And then after we get done with that we get to spend a little time at my grandparents and then its off to the beach for the rest of the time. oh yeah. Nice little house right on the beach. Morning afternoon and evening swim in the ocean. I can't wait.
yeah sorry for all of you stuck in the snow. but im gonna sit here and love it in the ocean and on the beach.
ill update and tell you how all the ocean is dont worry.
hope youre having fun in the snow and cold.
