Pretty slow day of classes. I’ve done 8 hours of homework already since the two days classes start. Got a 150 page book due Thursday. I have a paper due tomorrow etc.

On another note, met a girl whose family owns the Curtis Orchard… An apple farm. She was really cool, and loved fruit!

Today was quad day, basically LOTS of clubs advertising and recruiting members. I worked at UNICEF all day.

Yes it was huge. Hung out with roommates, baked cookies, met the entire floor. Showed a new kid around the campus… The usual. Trying to setup a shoutcast server but I’m failing hard because DNS server isn’t setting up properly.

Anyways, I am dead tired and I have class tomorrow. There is so much I want to do but so little time. Waking up at 6 AM to hit the cardio hard.

ARC: Activities and Recreation Center at UIUC

University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign has really outdone themselves with the new Activities and Recreation Center. Here is a small video of “PART” of the facilities. There is so much more that I have not yet explored. INSANE.

Bought some books today. Came out to be 400 dollars. I still need a lot more. Had lunch with my best friend as well and went to her apartment. Crazy because she is rooming with a girl I asked out before LOL. Fairly awkward.

Her key got wet and stained her counter LOL [BF's Roommate].

They have a weird as room as hell. Lots of old shit and lots of paper towels.

Going to an apartment kegger. I plan to have a bit of fun. Will report back if anything fun happens.

DEAR LORD! That was ONE FUN party. The one thing that I took away is that my physique shocked everyone. They were all going HOLY SHIT you  are JACKED. Felt pretty good. I knew pretty much everyone at the apartment and made lots of new friends. Took a shot of his really expensive whisky which was BOMB. Had lots of requests to play beer pong as well. Great night, the walk back wasn’t too great but I’m feeling a little better with oatmeal in my stomach.

First time waking up this early in a while, eyes are a bit bloodshot. But it is all for the love of the game. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Cut some watermelon and everything. I feel like 100 bucks right now. I’m wide awake, had an AMAZING workout and nothing can go wrong now :P

At the end the day I went to Alpha Rho Chi to see my old roommate, they were having a barnfire. I love this frat, not your typical fat boys, everyone is really nice. Also stopped by AEPi to say hi to a few friends. Finally finished the night at an apartment party.
