Summer and School

It’s good to be back at school again, nice to see my roommate and best of friends that I said goodbye to four months ago and kind of nice to get back to classes and homework. I had an excellent summer at home, yes I did have a girlfriend over the summer, Megan, and she was so much fun to hang out with. My daily routine consisted of going to work from 6-2:30, playing golf, and then getting to go hang out with Megan. My golf game was so much better than it was last summer and I really enjoyed working on it so I could be ready for tryouts when I got back to school. Best round of golf this summer was a 78 at the Olde Course and an 80 at Mariana Butte on my birthday with Mullen, I was much more consistent in my irons and putting then before but my driver struggled off and on through the season. The end of the summer was a little rough in general and I was really ready to get to school and start doing my own thing.

My dad and I drove out several days before school started so we could play TPC Deere Run in the quad cities, this was by far the most beautiful and hardest course I have played on and it was so worth the struggles I went through while playing. Got to school, played the course I was going to try out on (shot an 83), moved in all of my stuff, then ran off with my friends. The first night I was at school I’m at Kyle’s apartment and I hit my head on a concrete balcony. This resulted in a decent size gash in my cranium which took four stitches to close up, a great way to start off my year. I tried out for the golf team this past weekend and it did not go well, just fell apart and had a hard time recovering and it ended me not being on the golf team. I’m just going to have to work harder next summer…and get a new driver.

I’m positive this is going to be a good semester for me because classes will be challenging but fun, I’ve got good friends around me, and I’m going to be able to explore myself for the first time. I’m excited to see what road my relationships will be taking, I pray for the best and I pray for God’s will to be done, it’s in his hands. If you could pray for me, it’s been a little rough lately and everything helps. I’ll keep posting on a weekly basis.

Middle school movie nights always had awkward seating arrangements in the theater.


Time to go check my farm on Farmville!
