cool summer fun
 

since we had a summertime blahs post i'd thought some of us might want to share some of the cool and intresting things we may have done, had hapen to you, or just random stuff. as for me my life has been about stienhoists (parties), cliff diving, and various random adventures

The highlight of my summer so far has been the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute at Purdue University. It was 5 days of intense leadership training, and has so far been my best Greek experience. It was amazing. Other than that I have been living it up at the house all summer, just hanging out and working 7 nights a week. Could be worse, but could be a hell of a lot better.

Tubeing, lots of TV, ROADTRIPS! Austin, Mexico, Dallas, Houston. Something to do, ya know...

Lifesaver, where are you at? Your profile said the heart of Texas, and I am about 30 miles from the actual "geographic heart of Texas". Anyways just glad to see another Texan on the board.

SigTauJake, when did you go to UIFI? I went too, June 2-6 at Purdue. I totally agree with you. It is amazing. I can't wait to bring things back to my campus!

i just went to Vegas for a couple days to visit relatives (couldn't gamble though http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif so i actually LOST money shopping). We had some crazy adventures there. I have also been working hard and during the day watching movies I brought back from work...had my sex and the city marathon the otehr day where i rented all 3 dvds of the second season, lol. Also been chilling w/ my high school friends whom I haven't seen in forever... I have yet to go partying though!

I just won concert tickets to see the lead singer of Men at Work from an 80s radio station in St. Louis and four passes to Have a Nice Day Cafe http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. Thats bout the most exciting thing this summer, besides finishing an internship at the Post-Dispatch.

Last night, I went to Robinson, IL, which is about an hour from my town, to watch one of my buddies get in a fight. He was bar room boxing. They do it in Robinson, and in Terre Haute, IN on wed. and thurs. respectively. He lost, but he held his own and went almost the entire 3 rounds, lost by a KO in the last round. The guy he fought used to box in the army and supposedly gets in fights on a regular basis for fun. i had a good time, but didn't get home until after 12 and had to get up for work this morning. i came in late... i think there's a website for the boxing at http://www.barroomboxing.com or something like that.

I went from June 16-22. I met a wonderful AGD (I am assuming that is what sorority you are in) from Pittsburg State. UIFI was probably the coolest 5 days ever. I would do it again, but next time I have to go as an intern.

Assuming your a fellow Saluki - just wanted to say hello! Have been at an internship this spring and summer, so I miss Carbobdale!

SigTauJake- Yeah, I'm an AGD! I want to be an intern next summer too! I wish I could go through it again as an undergrad though too. It seems like one of those things that you get something new out of it everytime you hear it, you know?!

Alphachiomy-Are you a Saluki too? Go Dawgs!! Are you still at SIU?

And, Corbin Dallas- Robinson is not far from my hometown! A few girls in my chapter are from that area and I know a few guys from there too!! Are you from Robinson? I wonder if we know the same people?!?

No, I'm from Bloomfield, IN, an hour east of Robinson, 2 counties over. I know 2 guys that live in Robinson, but they both work for Marathon and just moved there. I do know a guy from Lawrenceville though, and a few guys from Sullivan, IN area.

Speaking of Summer Fun: In Carbondale (Illinois) every Thurday night in the summer the whole town brings out beer, their pets, their children, their mobile couches and lawn chairs to a nearby park for Sunset Concerts. If anyone is in the area - I'd say go once. Cdale is about 1.5 hrs from St.L, in Southern Illinois. I wish I was there tonight!

SIUAGD

Yup, am a SIUC senior (will graduate in Dec.)and just got done interning at the Post-Dispatch. Am working downtown St. Louis now and can't wait till I get off work - 12 more minutes. I have discovered GC while at work.

Its always awesome to talk with another Saluki!

i work out a lot at the Y, go to the beach, party with my friends, SHOP (hahahaa). I am going to Vegas soon, and I also start my new job soon!

Only bad thing is that my bf is gone for baseball camp http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif.

I've been to the beach twice.

And I'll be moving to a new house in a great subdivision come the end of July.

I'm also about to quit my crappyass job. I need more money to take the kind of abuse I get http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif
