Iowa-Arizona game I just cant get you out of my head. It’s Monday afternoon and all I can think about is the immense rage that the game caused me. I really expected us to win, like I bragged to all my friends in Texas about how good Iowa was this year. So thanks to this loss, I now look like an idiot. So thanks Coach Ferentz and thanks Ricky Stanzi, you guys really let me down this time. I have a feeling I’m not going to be getting over this one for awhile, well maybe if we absolutely destroy Ball State Saturday I will. Guess we’ll have to wait and see…….

Yes school must getting into the swing of things because I’m finally starting to feel that physical and mental exhaustion setting in. Rowing practice has taken a lot out of me (about 7 pound in under a week), and the constant homework has been killing my brain (when does Christmas break start again?). I’m on a diet of soda (its not called pop), and energy drinks just to get me through the day. But in good news, I joined yet another student organization today (the process is just too simple), SPJ or the Society of Professional Journalist. Big shocker the blogger wants to become a journalist right? But it seemed like a cool group, and I can get a lot of networking out of it (Chicago Tribune still hasn’t contacted me yet, blog effectiveness = not working).

By the way please don’t judge me based on this picture above this post ^^ (the sun was in my eyes…..)

Well I’m pretty sure I predicted this in a past post about how busy this month was going to be for me, and so far my prediction is right on point. But today was a good day, I’ve started chipping away at all this homework, and studying a bit, so maybe this weekend won’t be too crazy full of work. I met coach McCaffery too ( he was in the dining hall wearing a suit, he stuck out just a bit). Also IOWA FOOTBALL IS TOMORROW!!!! (well really later today i guess if your going to be technical about the time) but I’m so pumped! Lets hope we make it three years in a row that State hasn’t scored a touchdown.

GO HAWKS!!!!!

Fraternity recruitment meet and greet was today and it was pretty cool. I met a lot of nice guys and learned a lot about all the Frats here at Iowa. However it was a little weird being in a room with hundreds of other guys and no one knows what to ask. Hey is your Frat awesome? Is your house big? I’m pretty certain five frats told me they had the best grades last year, or they were the best at intramural’s (I really couldn’t care less how good you were at fake football). All in all though it wasn’t too bad, and I’m pretty excited about all the free food I’m promised at all the frat socials tomorrow.

Ill keep ya posted on all this frat shenanigans, until next time later blog!

Yes the second week of school is over, that means its time for FRY FEST, and HAWKEYE FOOTBALL!!!! The weather is beautiful, the energy on campus is electric, the homework is all done, and there is no class on monday! This looks like its going to be a great weekend if I do say so myself.

GO STANZI!, GO CLAYBORN!, GO HAWKS!!!!

THE BATHROOMS AND THE DORM FOOD!!!! The bathrooms aren’t terribly disgusting or anything. In fact, they’re kept up and clean, it’s just the fact that I’m maybe a foot away from another dude in there at all times. Whether your at the urinal, using the throne, or taking a shower you’re just right up on top of one another. If anyone knows about a secret bathroom somewhere on campus that smells good, has some Charmin toilet paper, and a huge shower please let me know. The food isn’t bad either, I’m admitting it tastes REALLY good, but the problem is not eating it, it’s the way it makes my tummy feel (ouch).

Oh well dorm life isn’t too bad…. unless you’re using the bathroom.
