Things I've been doing other than school last semester

So while last semester was very stressful and busy with school, I still managed to sneak in a few fun things. Outside of what is pictured here I played on 3 intramural sports teams (tennis, soccer, and flag football) and moved into a new apartment which I will try to put up photos soon.

 Again I went to the Big Ten football games. Here is a photo of the game versus Iowa with my friend Moto who is also in my program.
I went to Washington DC for Thanksgiving with my family to visit my aunt and uncle. Here is a photo of me of an outdoor mall complex on the Potomac river.

Although I already had photos of my trip to New York to see my sister I don't think this one is included. This is the part of the trip I ran off with some people from Coe (Lemi, Whitney etc). Here is me photobombing Lemi's attempt to photograph the Julliard School.


I got more involved with the Catholic Newman Center this year as well. In addition to joining a program called Adopt-a-Buckeye and being "adopted" by a wonderful family, this year there was also a graduate/professional student group formed as well. Here are two photos of a service day event we did doing yard work which was a lot of fun. Everyone in the group was extremely nice and hopefully we continue to participate in fun events.

For Halloween I went with my friends Kiel and JT (both actually from Minnesota) to the Short North area for an event called High Ball Halloween. It was a pretty cool event with outdoor music, food/drink, and a Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead celebration). We decided to coordinate our costumes as Star Trek characters. The joke is that the guys in red are the ones that always die in Star Trek episodes. Thankfully we all made it home alive although it was very cold that night. Live long and prosper. 

In my old apartment I spent a lot of time hanging out with my roommate's dog Archie who I became quite fond of. 

My program continued going to trivia at Grandview Cafe (although sporadically during the semester) and even won first place one time! On the final question (which you can wager 0 to 20 points) I wanted to bet 0 because I didn't think we knew the answer. Thankfully I was overruled and we got the question right and won the game.

Another thanksgiving photo. This is potentially the first ever family "selfie" (in my dad's words) and for sure the most awkward.  


Here again is a photo of my friends Kiel and JT but this time at a Buckeye Football game. I believe this is against Wisconsin which Ohio State won by 7 points. I also went to the wedding of my friend Mile's who lived next to me my sophomore year in Davenport Iowa. It was a lot of fun but I actually don't have any good photos from it. I actually missed the all "Coe" photo when I went to go get more food. Thankfully we got an all "Lambda Chi" photo that hopefully will surface soon.

Happy New Years everyone!

A few days late but I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I predict 2014 will be an eventful successful year for myself and those around me. Also here is footage of me on New Years Eve
