I had lived my entire
life (18 yrs) in Peoria, Il. But in the fall of '98, I joined the U
of I at Urbana-Champaign. Life at U of I is fun, but it will
never top being a senior at Richwoods High School.
In high school, I ran cross country & played baseball for 4 years & played basketabll for 2 years. At the time of my quitting basketball, I considered it as a break between the fall & spring sports seasons. Now, there is a part of me that wishes I would've continued bball. A plus of not playing bball was participating in the crowds at the bball games. It was quite an experience being a part of 40-60 wife-beater bearing, sweaty, drunk bodies cheerin on dizz, duff, knobs & co. I'm sure we left an imprint on opponents fans w/ our smart-ass chants like "public-schools" (to ND) & "start the tractors" (to local hick towns) just to name a few.
I played shortstop for the baseball squad & was co-captain of the CC team. My senior year, our cross-country qualified for the state meet only to finish 27th out of 27 teams.
Right now, I am in the College of Commerce & Business Administration at U of I & I am leaning towards being a Finance major. College is fun, but I am very lazy. I usually just watch the tube or play bball.
I can't wait for summertime. I spend the summers doing alot of things. I play bball, softball, bowl, golf, catch rays & clown the old men in water-volleyball at Wedgewood, fish & kick it. Last summer I was a hardworking landscaper. Prior to that I worked at Hometown Buffet & had a paper route for about 3 years.
