Well, that's just great. I just had what was probably the greatest post in the history of SDN, and the stupid computer at school lost it when I pressed submit.
Ah well, now you'll have to live with this lame version of said great post.
So I was thinking that we need to do a better job of keeping this thread on the first page and because I have yet to formally introduce myself, I thought that now, while I should be studying for my finals next week, would be a great time to do just that.
I'm two weeks away from graduating from Marquette University in Milwaukee. I'm a dude that grew up in Northwestern Illinois, though I'm one of the few people that refuses to call it a suburb of Chicago as it's 50 miles away. I love Marquette basketball and made sure to ask the students if they had enough time to go to Creighton games, which they all said yes. So if anyone in our class is big into college basketball, be sure to let me know!
Me thinks that I'll be heading down to Omaha around Aug 1st-ish so that I can get acclimated before orientation. Right now I'm pretty sure that I'll be living with family outside of Omaha, that way I'll only have to take out about $2.5 jillion in loans. From what I've heard, they have a huge (60"?) tv and made it very clear to me that if I want to invite some friends over to watch the Bears or anything else worth watching, that I'm more than welcome to...so any Bears/football/skating with the stars (how did that ever get cancelled by the way?
) fans, you let me know!
Even though I'm in school right now, I'm looking forward to heading down to Omaha, meeting everyone and getting started. I'll be ready to work hard, but I'm hoping that I won't be the only one ready to go out and throw a few back on the weekends, or in between classes. I kid of course, I'm not a big party guy, but I like to have fun. I'm also definitely not socially inept, but I do work hard and I can't wait to meet everyone. That should end it for now, just know that I'm pretty laid back, I love Marquette bball/Bears/sports in general, and I have the worst case of Senioritis in the history of man.
If anyone has time or doesn't have the time but feels like procrastinating, help keep this thread on the first page and introduce yourself a little more. Hopefully some other classmates will start posting so that we can get to know eachother a little more before we all get thrown into the mix. Also, if you're really bored, take that fancy, personalized Creighton e-mail address that you received and go sign up for a facebook account. I know that some people despise facebook and everything that it stands for, but it's a good way to keep in touch. Myspace is too for that matter, I just set up a profile on that, though I'm determined to not get sucked into the black hole that has been for some of my friends. Hope to hear from some more people, I'll be a lot more active on here (post wise) now that school is ending. Sorry that this got long, I tend to not shut up, it's something I've come to terms with and am trying to work on.
