Wednesday already?
Hello, all. Long time, no blog. I have been unbelievably busy since the last time I posted. I’ve decided to take a break from homework and studying to do a tumblr update.
This past weekend was a fantastic weekend. A couple friends from home came up to visit me. We spent most of the day Saturday in Chicago. There, I experienced my first time at the Sears Tower, 103 stories up in the...

News, news, news, math
So much for a “daily” blog. Looks like this is going to be a “when Kyle has time” blog. Yesterday was pretty much devoted to school work. I did take a break to go to the gym then headed to the library for a few hours. After the few hours, I decided to not study anymore. I basically took a phone call, talked to some friends and headed to bed around 12:30 (somewhat...
Slacking (or so it seems)
Happy Tuesday! This will be my last happy Tuesday for a while, as “real” physics lab starts up next week. We have weekly quizzes over the lab manual. They are worth 10 points; one point for showing up and three points each for three questions. The lab teaching assistant seems pretty chill compared to some of the horror stories I’ve heard about the class. I am not worrying too...
Blah day...
Today was another one of those “blah” days. The weather was crummy; freezing drizzle, blowing snow, chilly, foggy. Not a great day. I woke up, had my usual cups of coffee then took a trip to Dunkin’ Donuts for some coffee and breakfast. Good stuff.
Every Sunday since the fourth or fifth week of last semester has been devoted to homework (minus Christmas break, obviously)....
Short and Sweet
Saturday was not a very eventful day. At all. I woke up around noon, ate some oatmeal, and just vegged out for a few hours. I did do a load of laundry, which was much needed. I could barely fit all of my laundry in one machine. I still have no received the package my parents sent out last Wednesday, so I still only have four pair of sucks socks.
Later in the day, I made a trip to Walmart to...
TGIF (one day late)
I’ve discovered that I really am not a fan of getting out of class at 4PM on a Friday. The day started out at 7:45 with no snow. I was a little upset, but I was thinking the snow wasn’t going to start around 9AM anyway. In actuality, it didn’t start until 9:45, so I was close.
The first two classes went by fast, as usual (even though it was only the second meeting). After...
Anxiously (A)waiting...
…to see what this weather does. All day the the models and the National Weather Service have been going back and fourth between amounts of snow/duration of snow for Friday. In my Meteorology class, we were supposed to start our first lecture. This is an hour and 15 minute class. Not that I am complaining, but we did not start the lecture. We spent the whole time talking about the...
Run it off
We’re half way through the week! I am going to keep this short as I have now accumulated a little reading for school. Speaking of accumulating, we’ve got ourselves a snowstorm coming for northern Illinois! Looking like a solid 5 or 6 inches for the DeKalb area. QC folks should get 2 to 4 inches. Looking forward to it, mostly because I don’t have to drive :). Just kidding,...
Routine
First day of classes means a new routine. I have an odd schedule. Nearly every day is different. I discovered Thursdays are going to be my favorites. Only two classes and the first one does not start until 11AM! Tuesdays will be my worst. Start at 8AM end at 5:50PM (not straight through, a couple hours of a break). I’ll survive. My 8AM on Tuesday is only 50 minutes long and lasts 10...
I've got my days confused
Happy Monday Tuesday, people! I think I am going to start doing these posts before I go to bed at night so I am not typing my “daily” blog in the middle of the day. Yesterday was a good day. Everyone was pretty much back from Winter Break. It was nice to catch up with people. Yesterday was also an “artsy” day for me, I guess I could say. My roommate and I put up some...
No creative title
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, everyone! Day 4 at NIU was a great one. I didn’t do much. I pretty much did the same things as previous days. Woke up, blogged, drank coffee, checked the weather. I also went to the gym for a little bit after watching a full disk of Friends. Thanks to my friend Kate for officially making it an addiction for me. Shortly after the gym, a group of us...
Back to 1994
Happy Sunday, all! Usually this is a day I loathe, as it is my homework day. But, since classes have no started there is no homework (makes sense, right?). I suppose these “daily” blogs are going to start talking about the day before. Whatever.
Yesterday was another chill day. Not much happened. Helped my neighbor move who room around, and her roommate returned from break. Went...
Relaxing. Let's see how long this lasts.
Well, looks like this is turning into a blog where I talk about the previous day. Oh well. At least I am covering each day.
Yesterday was a pretty chill day. I unfortunately woke up around 9:30, had about 3 or 4 cups of coffee and was glued to the TV and computer models tracking another potential snowstorm coming in early next week. Unfortunately (or fortunately for snow haters) that seems...
Snow doubt about it
So, I skipped a day. Whatever.
Thursday was quite an interesting day. Snow, snow and more snow. I am a nerd, so I woke up at around 6AM to watch snow coverage on the local news. My mom was still up and was trying to convince me to wait until today (Friday), but I wanted to get back to school.
Overall, roads were not too bad. Interstate 88 had a few patchy spots of snow and ice, but not too...
What a day.
Well, it’s my last day at home. Bittersweet to say the least. I enjoyed the five weeks off. Got to spend a lot of time with family and friends. I enjoyed time with my beloved dogs. I’m ready to go back to school, though.
The day started early. I woke up a little earlier than I had anticipated to get caught up on the first “snowstorm” of the season. Still looking...
"Daily" Blog
Alright. I am going to TRY and post a blog every day for the next year just so I can look back and see what has changed/happened. Will I keep up with it every single day, probably not. I’ll give it a shot, though.
I’ll just start out by talking about winter break and the new year. I never realized how much I missed some of my friends back here at home, and I am going to miss...

Physics and I will meet again. Too soon.
Dear physics,
If there’s a train coming at me, i’m not going to be calculating the velocity in which it will hit me with.
Sincerely, getting the heck out of there.

Good 'ol Insomnia
I can’t sleep. So, this is just going to be a post about random things on my mind.
1. I find it odd that it is 25 degrees out and I have to have my window open…it’s so uncomfortable.
2. I hate the end of the semester. I sware..professors go out of their way to make sure your life is a living hell.
3. I don’t understand the maturity level of some college students. ...
"All dreams can come true - if we have the courage...
As children, we are often asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Common answers (for boys) are firefighter, policeman, astronaut. For me, the answer was never any of those. My answer was always “weatherman.”
It all started at a young age. My grandfather would watch my brother and I, and everyday we were over there my grandfather would always be checking The...

"Everything Happens for a Reason"
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I always attempt to look back in life asking myself why something happened. Usually, I don’t find out until months or years later.
I am dedicating this post to my “journey” to NIU. While I have always known I was going to college, I never had that one “dream school” in mind. Right from the get-go in high...
tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
What's up?
Hello everyone, I am Kyle. I will be using this site to blog about the life of a college student. I recently began forecasting weather for my university’s television station, and hope to use this as a platform for future employers to see. Hope you enjoy my posts! Who knows, I may just post something random.
