Adam Hinz: The Blog

wow......almost 3 weeks since I last wrote something here.First off, I fully intended to write here yesterday, because I was feeling like shit. I wanted to take a snapshot of my shit-feelingness so I could read it later and be like "hah! those were the days" or something. But I didn't, and now I'm in a great mood. So oh well...
Let me try and remember what has been going on lately. Last weekend our floor went skiing, which was a blast. I guess I realized how much I really really love skiing. And I was good! I was all swerving and stopping by doing the jump and turn thing. The only thing that sucked about the trip was we left at 4pm. I was ready to stay until 8. Oh well. After that we went to Glden Carrel (again with floor funds), ooooh man. It was a freaking awesome buffet and they freaking had steak! I had 2 great big slabs of steak. It was glorious.
The following week was kind of a bummer. I had a pretty big test in my crimology class, and lots of homework in everything else. It seemed like most of my time was spent in my room with homework. On top of that the weather was shit. Fuckin snow on Thursday.
Friday started out shit, but it ended wonderfully. It started out with 4 classes that seemed to go on forever. After that I went to the library to work on a project with my partner for my cs class. that lasted until about 6:30. Finally after that I was able to go home. This was the beginning of the good part of the day. I think I fell asleep around 7, and I woke up at 11pm. Ed came over to my room and we talked for about an hour in the lounge. What we talked about required a new paragraph.
Ed said that he and Kolski and Jeremy (lived on the floor last year) and Jeremy's little brother are seriously considering a backpacking trip to Europe, and they wanted to know if I wanted to go with them. HELL YES I want to go! He says we're looking at next christmas break, about 10 months from now. That should give us plenty of time to talk to our parents and get our plans settled and everything. The neat thing is we won't have too many plans. We're thinking in 21 days, we can spend about 3 days in each city and try to soak up as much of it as we can. We'll probably get a Europass, which lets us ride all the trains for a set price. It looks like we'll be hitting up London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Athens, Berlin, and maybe Poland. (Berlin wasn't originally on the list Ed told me, but I demanded we go there...I've got friends to see!). But as of right now, 10 months before the trip, we are all optimistic that we can do this. So now all I have to do is work my ass off this summer and save up a shitload of cash.
Anyway, I stayed up until around 5, then slept until 9:30. As posted in my livejournal, I woke up surprised about 2 things: a) I was not pissed about waking up at 9:30 on a Saturday, and b) I was in a very very good mood. So today I relaxed most of the day, went for a little run (I am so out of shape...) and relaxed some more. Now, Skiba and I are about to go to Kroger, they've got more of those 6-pack cokes for $1.
So long!
