Whirlwind

Who knew college would be this exhausting? I don't have a problem getting anything done, but once I'm done, I become either anti-social or just fall asleep. I just can't seem to catch. Anyway, Thursday was FLUNK DAY meaning classing were canceled and the school just threw a huge party. It was amazing. I almost got written up by security because I was looking at a library shelf where all the books were knocked off of and security showed up and obviously thought it was me. I got the hell out of there haha. Anyway I didn't have to go to Michigan with tennis because I wasn't going to play and coach told me to stay at Coe and have fun so that was awesome. Today I experienced walking in high heels while raising money for charity. Long story. So I suck at blogging but nobody reads these so who cares huh? Peace

Birthdays

So today is indeed my birthday and birthdays have always been a weird days for me. In high school, I don't know that I ever really enjoyed my birthday in high school, for various reasons that are no longer important. But this year so far has been different. Because we didn't have classes today because of student symposium(whatever that is), I began celebrating last night. Basically I decided I was going to use this date to bring everyone I know together. In other words I threw a huge party. I bought a giant cookie that says "Happy Birthday JR!" and some of my favorite beverages. I think birthdays are more about the people I care about then myself. Personally, I enjoyed having everyone having a great time on Tuesday night more than I've ever enjoyed receiving a birthday present. For me, it's not about me.

Tennis weekend

So I'm sleeping on the window ledge right now because were  out of beds. hahahaha. Tomorrow I have a match and one a noon and then I have to quick drive back to Coe by 8 to play in a band concert. Sunday, match at noon, band concert again at 4. So basically no fun and no homework will get done this weekend. Its all good though

Small Colleges

So I knew that inevitably, being at a small college would produce drama. Well it has happens. Currently some of my friends are in a state of panic and it's kind of getting old, like a week ago. Anyway I just owned my bio test this morning(I was studying Saturday night so I didn't have to listen to people) and my CAP(College Adjustment Peer) interview is tomorrow. Also I got formal all figured out. Slowly, I'm starting to knock things off my massive to-do list. Good work JR

My year

So this semester has flown by and I realized I don't really have plans for this summer. My original idea has most likely fallen through so I will probably spend most of the summer at home and hopefully I will find a job. Also, my hope of becoming a college adjustment peer at the beginning of next year most likely will not happen because I got written up Friday night. Ridiculous I know. Also, this school year is just a crazy mess until the end. I spend 2 weekends away from Coe for tennis, one of which I have a 12 page research paper and project due that Monday. I have a large fraternity harm reduction report to send to nationals which is due just after finals week. I don't have a date to our formal because people are either out of town, already asked, or have various other reasons they don't want to go. On top of all this, I still want to have some fun. A daunting task indeed, but, I'm Jon Roger, I'll figure it out.

Been Slacking

My bad guys. I've been neglecting my blog. Life's been a little crazy lately. I just got back from spring break in Florida and now my hair is blonde. At least it's getting a lot of laughs. I came back to Coe with a lot of homework that I don't want to do in the first couple of days. Overall things are going well but there are some things that are stressing me out. For the first time in awhile, I'm not entirely enjoying tennis. It just sucks to watch all the time when you know you're almost or as good as the players playing but the coaches will never put you in. Also, girls are confusing. Enough send. Night folks

I forgot about this thing

If you've noticed my lack of postings on this site, then you are not completely a moron. I will try to step it up guys. 

New Room

At first I thought it was the weirdest loft ever but once we put our stuff in now its super cool. Being back at Coe is great. This semester is off to a good start

Revisting High School

So today I went back to St. Anthony with Aaron, Jon Slye, and Donald after a quick run to Chipotle in order to visit our favorite old teachers. On a whole, I have to say the visit wasn't even close to as awkward as I thought it would be. There were some awkward moments of course, for example people you didn't especially like who are still in high school and trying to decide whether or not you should respond to their greetings or not. However, I got to see nearly all of my favorite old teachers. We talked for a significant length of time with teachers such as Lulai, TK, Senior B, Ms. P, and to our pleasant suprise, the one, the only, Mr. Wayne Terry. We also talked to Mrs. Jurichko, Wiggins, Haugen, Kron, and Applehoff for a moment or two. We unfortunately didn't catch Gauchie, Macleod, or Urdahl but all and all, I enjoyed talking to my teachers. I do have a lot of good memories of high school even though it wasn't the greatest of course. All and all, I was glad I was able to go back and revisit those people who had influence on my education and on my life.

Where have Joe Couillard's blogs gone?
