About my weekend...

I’m back after a great weekend. As I alluded to in my last post, the previous weekend was parent’s weekend and my folks made the six hour drive from good ol’ Michigan to come and see me. It was the first time they had met Joe and Luke, and it was the first time I had met Joe’s and Luke’s families so it was a lot of fun. We all went out and had a nice dinner together on Friday night at La Casa Grande, a Mexican restaurant downtown (this is free publicity), but anyway we enjoyed showing off our decked out room and all of that. On Saturday, my parents and I drove up to Madison and walked around the farmer’s market and State Street, what a great city! Madison has everything one could ever want from a big city minus a lot of the mess, (and it’s only an hour from Beloit, hint hint). We actually spent a lot of our time there looking for gluten-free restaurants as I just recently found out I have Celiacs Disease (look it up if you care), but basically I can’t eat any grain type products as indicated by the depressing Celiac Sprue Association Logo shown here:

Anyway, when I returned from Madison we got in a game of pick up Frisbee of course (there’s one every Saturday at 4:30), and then the parentals cleared out and we got down to the business of Saturday night.

Sunday was a big study day for me as usual and there’s not much that can be said about that, although I did manage to get in a little r&r in here and there. That night, Joe, Luke, our friend Parker, and myself also squeezed in our nightly Air Alert work out which felt pretty good after having missed it on Friday. For those of you who care at all, Air Alert is a series of exercises completed in a certain order on certain days of the week consisting of various jumps, stair steppers, leap ups, burn outs, raises, ect that are intended to increase one’s vertical and is popular among some athletes at Beloit. I was ridiculously tired on Sunday night as usual and got to bed about midnight, but Joe, Luke, and I spent another 45 minuets or so making fun of each other and throwing stuff from our bunks/leaping out of bed and pummeling one another so I didn’t really fall asleep until 1:00 ish, but I managed to get up and run this morning which was nice.

Monday Monday Monday, not much of interest today, although I did have an Ancient Philosophy Exam worth 20% of my grade so I hope that went well…eep. On an unrelated note, I’ve been listening to Albert Hammond Jr. a lot lately, so for any of you who dig alt rock check out these albums (he’s a member of the Strokes btdubs):
