It wasn't all bad of course.

And now for things I liked about SIUE.

1. Jennifer, someone that no one would have paired me with in high school, lived with me for one semester. And it was fun. We fooled everyone didn't we Jen?

2. Sand Volleyball, which takes up most of my spare time when I'm lucky, must be the most fun I've had in awhile.

3. My bed. It may be small but it sure is comfy. For some reason, I enjoy the closed-in space.

4. AKL Informal. Ryan may not have been the best boyfriend, but that night was one of the funnest nights of my life, and I'll never forget it.

5. Bad Bands in the Goshen. When it's boring at C & I, you can be sure there's some off the wall band playing in the Goshen that day to keep you awake. Yay guy who plays Dave songs.

6. Hot foreign guy. I don't know who he is but he's gorgeous, and he makes bus rides a joy.

7. Cougar Village. It's nice to have an entire apartment to manuever in. And the atmosphere is nice too (butt-print window guy, and random people walking around constantly)

8. Woodland Hall. The Wood. My first on-campus home.

9. Ashley. Another unlikely match, we got along quite well. Unfortunately we didn't become buddies until it was almost too late. Good news tho, she'll be at Eastern with me!

10. Dan and Phil. My fave two guys from the Wood. These two studs have to be two of my favorite people I've met here. Although I don't see Phil much anymore, I hope I can at least catch him to say goodbye. And Dan, hopefully I will see sometime over the summer.

11. Blue phlox patch on the path. I found a flower next to the Alpha House while walking home from class one day. It made me happy.

12. Raquetball at the VC. Enough said.

13. David and Justin. Too bad I didn't hang out with the guys upstairs more. I'll sure miss them.

14. Classical Mythology. Sad that I'm putting a class on here, but it really was right up my alley.

15. The heads sculpture. It's not gone folks, its hiding behind the art building.

and finally.....
the last reason I liked SIUE, yet one of the reasons I want to leave it:

16. Close proximity to home.
