• I definitely don't post as much this semester. I've been so busy with things that by the time I get back to the computer I'm so dead tired. I'll see what I can do about that though.
• Illini won 2 games this week. Both in convincing fashion. Now it's on to Wisconsin, which will be a huge test and can help determine our destiny in the conference.
• I stayed up Thursday night working on homework with my sweet-nas engineering buddies. We hung out and talked in funny voices. It was a gay old time.
• Of course I also had 3 Rockstar energy drinks and couldn't fall asleep for almost 2 hours after I tried to go to bed.
• I've been feeling sick the past couple of days. It's not the best feeling, but I think it comes from the fact that I'm being stretched quite thin right now. I've got to figure out a better way to do things to get more sleep.
• One option could be to drop a class. GASP!! I know my parents wouldn't stand for it at first. But we'll see how things go.
• I'm going to stop lifting at 6:30 in the morning unless I can be sure to get to bed early. I'm definitely a night owl and that's just how I roll.
• I think I'm willing to add caffeine to my mix of things every once in a while as it was very helpful to do homework.
• FRIDAY NIGHT: Set the stage. Jeff and I are hanging out with Rachel, Sarah, Julianne, and Megan. We are trying to figure something to do. The hockey game is voted down by the ladies. So instead...we go to Walgreens, so they can buy!!!... (drumroll please).... HAIRDYE!!! Jeff and I had stumbled upon a chick night. It was kinda funny and kinda sad. So Jeff and I decided to go just hang out. We ranted for a bit about Christian books and wondered how John Eldredge or anybody else that wrote a book all of a sudden can write our theology and we should trust everything their books say instead of questioning. God calls us to test the word of God to make sure that it is true. Shouldn't we then test these books instead of assuming they tell us exactly how to live our lives.
• I stayed the night at the Outpost with Jeff and I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast. That was MOST exciting.
• Saturday saw me having my hands on Illini tickets and deciding not to go to the game and give them to somebody else. Instead I did homework and watched the game on TV.
• Saturday Night Grace on Saturday was the first time I became an announcment person. Julianne and I did it. I think we did a great job. It was honestly not hard for even the reason that you can't see a darn thing when you're up in front of everybody and they're shining spotlights on you.
• Then we just hung out. Honestly, nothing hard about that.
• Although we decided to have a Madden tourney. Right now it is down to the Championship Game between me and Ty. I have to play him soon.
• Then I went over to Pi Lambda Phi to hang with my engineering buddies. I'm really excited about them and their friendship. It's great to have guys like that to do homework with.
• Now a wave of tired has washed over me and as I have Mass tomorrow morning as well as basketball tomorrow at 12, I must get me some sleep.

SOTD: 33 - The Illini won their home game today in convincing fashion. They have been perfect at home for some time now, as this game was their 33rd straight home win. It's an impressive streak and it is tied with Gonzaga for the longest current streak of that type

WOTS (Word of the Semester) - BOLD - I really don't remember if I wrote this before or not. The point is, God I think has put the word bold on my heart this semester. Just in such a way that I should be stepping up and being bold and making decisions and taking risks and not sitting on the sidelines, but really taking the effort to step out and really try new, exhilirating, intense things.
