Well blog readers (of which there are none), it has certainly been a while. Time has been flying past and I’ve been trying to live summer up for all that it’s worth. Between concerts and hanging out with friends and plenty of work, I feel as if I just haven’t had time to sit down and think about something to write.
A few days ago, my family made the switch over from Verizon to AT&T so I now have an excellent iPhone. I love it very much and haven’t had any problems yet. *knock on wood* There is even a lively little WordPress app that I am currently on as type this. It’s pretty nifty and because I’ll be able to carry WordPress around in my pocket, I hope it gets me blogging a bit more.
I know this post (and my last few) have been relatively fluff-filled. But I figure since this blog is mostly read by myself, I can write about this all.
Hope the beginning of summer is finding you well!

I’ve been gone for quite a while – mostly thanks to a surge in homework and group-project meetings I’ve been having to tend to.
It’s crazy to think that I’ll be out of NDSU in less than two weeks. Next Friday marks my last final and then after that, I’ll be a UM student. Crazy stuff!
I’ll probably be updating soon, however I don’t have much content to talk about at this time. Hopefully I’ll have something to write about soon, though!
One thing I do have to mention, however, was today was “Flood Effort Appreciation Day” or something like that. Essentially they held a little get-together at Memorial Union praising us for all of our efforts. They read a letter from a lady who lost her house to the flood, but was impressed by the efforts that NDSU students put in right in her own backyard and the example they set for her children. It was actually quite moving. I was proud to be a Bison at that moment. Even though I’m leaving NDSU soon, I leave happy that I was here this year. Yes, there were times when I wanted to quit and wished I had chosen somewhere else. However, the massive effort with the sandbagging, hanging out with some of my (admittedly few) friends, and crazy football games all bring back nostalgic memories of good-times past.
I will miss NDSU, and I leave with a feeling out gratitude that I got to experience this year first-hand in a school I respect very much.

It’s finally here! After weeks of procrastinating and trying to find a USB cable that fit my phone, I was able to upload all of the photos of the flood. They aren’t of excellent quality, but I figure that they deserve to at least be viewed by some people. I tried to capture as much as I could – from the stands filled with people, to the piles of sandbags, to workers, and even the food stand.
Pictures are included after the jump.
