A Semi-Eventful Sunday

Hey, first-off, I'd like to extend a hearty welcome to any of those who transferred to this from my MySpace blog...here's to more fun times through the computer..what a loser you are..

Today is Sunday, and apparently the last day of my summer, considering classes start tommorrow. To be honest, though, I'm almost anxious for them to start, so there aren't these giant lulls in the day, and me wondering what to do and feeling like a loser because I'm not sure what to do (but, thankfully, I haven't resorted to doing laundry as a result of boredom. Thank Jesus above for that).

This morning was the first morning where I got to kinda sleep in, and by sleep in, I mean 11:00. But you know what I say? Whatevs. Then Mark called me, we went to lunch and Mertzed till it hurts, you know the drill. Then I did some boring adminstrative stuff that I would like to bore you with, but I won't.

Anyway, as I was doing my tour-o-rama of my classes for the next day (because I'm such a prepared and studious student), I ran into Lindsay and Alex, two chicks I met at the Marquette soccer game (G0 Ramblers! Yeah.). They were looking for a frisbee, and I thought I would join on them on this honorable quest, although they never really asked me (and we never found a frisbee). We met up with other friends of theirs, who were going to the DePaul soccer game (Fransican d-bags), and so we all saddled on up to the El and went to DePaul, where there is this giant painting of a Fransican who looks like Robin Williams with a pedaphilic smile on a dormatory. Creepy. We lost, two/one. Meh, I won't lose much sleep over it.

After the game, we hopped on the El again and went to Millenium Park, where there is this giant outdoor concert hall for orchestras. I might have to hit it up. There was also a giant metal bean.

You could see a whole reflection of the Chi-town skyline in it. Pretty cool. Also located in the hip Millenium Park are these giant fountains that have huge videos of people's faces, and after like twenty minutes of blinking and other facial movements, the faces spit water on the excited children underneath. What a city.

We got dinner at Brannigans and I got the Monte Crisco, a deep fried ham sandwich with powdered sugar on top. I kid you not. We also had cheeseburger egg rolls. Forget freshman 15, more like Freshman 50. Fortunately, I gave the last quarter of my sandwich to some homeless lady. I hope she enjoyed it.

Now I'm preparing to actually start college. Scary stuff for a lesser person. I just hope I wake up in time for breakfast.

Peace out,
Barry
