E-Days just finished and was quite awesome. Highlights for me include: bouncy boxing, bouncy bungee race, watching the trebuchet contest, the mythbusters, the ore cart pull, playing some “guitar hero” (at two in the morning off campus (if you know what I mean)), and fugitive.
There is another wave of testing coming up soon. However this post does not concern those.
Next years housing arrangement is sent in stone for me. Curtis Flemming and I will be living four doors down from where I currently live. This room is in the basement so it has the 9 foot ceilings that I enjoy; it is also about five feet wider than my current room. Our current plan calls for a couch, lazy-boy, custom desks, and a large TV (with numerous systems of course). Everyone else doesn’t know yet if they got into mines park yet, so things for them could get quite interesting for them fairly soon. I hope everyone gets rooms next semester… But more than that, I hope that the location that they have chosen does not inhibit them from doing things on campus. Some of the people moving up there don’t have access to a car, one of the reasons I wouldn’t have wanted to move up there is the ease of missing a class; Along with the increased difficulty of going back and forth between classes. I would not like anyone’s performance to be hindered by location next year.
Thoughts:
Joey – I really like you and want you to do well at CSM. You are more than welcome to use my (massive) room to chill between classes. It is likely that my room next year will have an extra desk and chair setup in the event you want to use it.
Luke – You are equally welcome to stop by my room next year and chill whenever you want.
Scott – A large percentage of the people I meet I consciously recognize I will have a temporary relationship with. Our lives came together for a while and we each made decisions that affected the other but towards then end those decisions will be made less often until there are none. We will each go our separate ways in life having little effect on each other. It's very unlikely that communication will occur between us because of a mutual (assumed)* feeling towards each other. I wish you the best on your journey through life.
* I do dislike assumed things. I also recognize the chance of having made an incorrect assumption. And I apologize if that is the case here.
Trevor – Less philosophically, we recently spent a lot of time together and you’re a pretty cool person. I realize that you play WoW when there is nothing better to do... and I hope that it doesn't inhibit your performance at mines.
This summer I would like to go somewhere with any, or all, of the group. If the feeling is mutual then you know my AIM / e-mail and if you’re good then you also know my phone number too.
I welcome feedback on this post.
If you feel that you want to write something but don’t know what, then here is a prompt I have been considering: How could I (referring to Michael) have acted differently / better this past year?

I had a feeling this is what you were talking about when you mentioned if I had read something and talked about the desk. I knew you updated but I didn't get a chance to read it until now.
Anyways, I appreciate that you like me (I like you too just so you know, but then again, I'm pretty up-front with people, so you probably already knew that) and I also appreciate the offer of "chilling" and using that desk and such. I very well may have to take you up on that offer, especially with the whole living off campus / not having a car thing. Though, if you ever want to come over for dinner, I say you're always welcome.
I had a feeling you played "guitar hero" that night because your face was kinda red and you were smiling a lot more than usual.
As for location hindering me, I'm pretty persistent and I like to walk (last summer I walked home from school and walked to work most days) so I don't see that being a huge issue.
Doing something over the summer would be cool. It doesn't help that you are all the way in Longmont and nobody else is... But it could happen, who knows. I just have a feeling that with your standing in the group as it were combined with your distance it would be very easy for you to be left out of many things. Hopefully we can get together at least one time though. I'll see what I can do.
How could you have acted differently or better? Hmm... Maybe be more involved in going out places, even if you didn't plan on spending money or something... Though I know we often did things later at night, and I wouldn't want you to screw up your sleeping schedule and all just to hang out with us. Another possibility is to do things that you don't know whether or not you would win. You have a tendency to only participate in something if you think your odds of winning are very good. Losing isn't always such a bad thing... You can still have fun
Fugitive is indeed the bomb, glad it turned out to be a hit there. I'll keep you posted on the games that happen this summer.
