Well, this is my first entry into this blog thing. I'm not quite sure how I feel about blogging. I always thought of blogs as sort of editorials that unintelligent people might accidentally think of as factual news.
So I'll throw this out there: This is not news. I might occasionally comment ON current events. But I'm probably going to just share the trials and tribulations of my life firsthand. Get ready for some unintelligent sounding words. and cues so you know how I'm "talking." For example: [sigh].
If you're reading this, you're probably my friend, but just in case, I'm Sam Kubota, I'm 18, from the northwest 'burbs of Chicago(Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates!), and attend University of Missouri - Columbia. My major (s) are Journalism and English. Maybe I'll be a journalist...maybe I'll just teach journalism. So far, I haven't met many journalists that I like. Thus, I am unsure if I want to spend the next 123209032098234 years of my life with them. I feel like that's a pretty valid reason.
AS FOR COLLEGE! Well, I got back from the U of IL vs. Mizzou arch rival game in St. Louis (which is about 2 hours east of here) earlier today. It was actually really fun; I had a great time cheering on the Tigers! It was also fun gloating over everyone else in the world who goes to U of I. Actually, I'm sure that was the best part. Haha.
So tonight I can't sleep and I'm pretty sure that it's the diet coke I drank at like 9. But the thing is, I have a really really high tolerance for caffeine so..maybe I'm just worried about...something.
Not sure what.
I did manage to go about two weeks without seriously missing my friends, but tonight as I lie awake, I can't help but think about them. I wish everyone were here right now; I don't think I'll ever find friends as good as the ones I made at HEHS. [sighs sadly]
Accidentally submitted my essay to my FIG class in the wrong format - had to email Nate and give him the right one...stupid vista. yet another thing to complain about.
They have these places called "Quick Stop" and "Jack in the Box" here. What does the North have that the South doesn't? Because I felt, for awhile, like we may be losing the coolness game.
We went to the best bowling alley with crazy "cosmic bowling" and all of these fun arcade type games. I am pretty sure I won one of the three games, so all 'yall better beware of my awesome skills at the bowling. Good thing I took Strides for two years and only learned to become only marginally better than average at bowling. Great. Just great.
Good news is that during gym, I got a lot of homework done.
Anyways, then we went to the 711 that Adam's parents own and he got me a free slurpie! Best gift ever!
Then I went to Walmart at like 11:30 p.m. and chuckled. There's a Kellie Pickler song titled "Small Town Girl" which is something reminiscent of a long list of things that are southern and small town-esque (i.e. sweet tea from a mason jar). "Driving 'round a WalMart on a Friday night..." is definitely from that song! Angela and I discussed being "southern" before I left for Missouri and I really feel like I'm just that much closer to accomplishing that goal.
Hooray for WalMart. Which shouldn't be open at like, 11. I feel like that's unnecessary.
Anyways, at WalMart, we broke all of the rules our parents ever set for us back in the day, when we shopped together. We turned up the music on the electronics to be as loud as it went and re-enacted epic football scenes. We rode the coolest bikes around the entire store because we are finally strong enough to get them of the rack! We didn't run into anything, don't worry. We bought school supplies that we needed...exciting...And I got a cover for my bike seat because my stupid bike is REALLY uncomfortable.
I'm still on the look out for someone who has a farm! with a tractor! Only then will my southern experience be complete.
Well, after I go to Waffle House for some midnight waffles!
more to come next time I can't fall asleep!
