Saying Goodbye to Summer!

It's so strange to look at a calendar and realize that classes begin again in just a little over a week. Even more strange then that is to walk around campus and actually see other students instead of the Chicago Bears! I had just started to get used to seeing Urlacher or Hester on a daily basis. It was so great to have the Bears here, but our own Olivet football and soccer teams showed up on campus not long after they left, a trade I was happy to make.
I finally got myself all of my stuff moved into my apartment for the school year. Now I just have to unpack and wait for my roommates to get here! It's possible that I am the slowest "unpacker" ever. I'm sure that the Olympics distraction hasn't helped that much though. We've sort of been rotating around my friends apartments, watching the Olympics at a different place each night. I'm pretty sure that we haven't missed a single one of Michael Phelps' races. There is definately a group of Phelps fanatics here in Bourbonnais! :)
A bunch of us did take a break from our Olympics watching marathon for a while to go see a concert that was in town. DecembeRadio came and played at Moon Monkey. I wasn't sure who they were when I first heard the name, but once they started playing I recognized a bunch of songs. They were kind of a Southern rock band and they reminded me a little of NeedToBreathe. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. There are a lot of bands that have great music, but when you hear them in concert it's a little bit of a let down. That's definately not DecembeRadio. They were fantastic!
(I'm pretty sure that if you check out Ashley's blog, she'll be putting up pictures from the concert)
Things will start getting more exciting as everyone arrives on campus and classes start. Ollies Follies is a sure bet for a good time too...Stay Tuned!
