My name is Alan and I am a freshman in the college of engineering at Purdue University. Before packing up and moving into my new home at school, I lived in New Lenox, IL, a south suburb of Chicago. I'm one of two people my from highschool who ended up coming to school at Purdue...(most of them decided to go to Uof I) I would classify myself as the athletic type, having been involved in some type of sport ever since i began to walk. In highschool, I played for the baseball and golf team all four years. When I wasn't busy in school or at practice, I could usually be found outside with my friends doing something athletic...(football, soccer, basketball, frisbee..the list goes on and on)
If you can't tell already, i love to be outdoors. My hobbies are best expressed by whatever the season is. In the fall, I spend a lot of time out at my half-brother's house in northwest Indiana. He lives out in the country on a lake and that is where I learned to love to hunt and fish. We actually have an annual trip up to Canada every year where we go catch Walleye and Northern Pike. When winter comes around, snowmobiling is my activity of choice. As for the spring/summer, I'm usually caught up in baseball or football season. I am a diehard Cubs fan, and extremely excited that we are in 1st place right now...(its been awhile) Although I am from Chicago, I am NOT a Bears fan, my allegiance falls with the Green Bay Packers. Aside from athletics, I enjoy to read...(anything by Dan Brown or Michael Critchton) I have to admit, I do watch a fair amount of T.V., with my favorite shows being sportscenter, man vs. wild, boy meets world, as well as watching baseball and golf. I'm an easy-going, friendly, and an overall good guy looking to make some new friends in a new environment.
That pretty much sums it up.

I was completely surprised that so far, your blog has been the only one mentioning anything about going out to hunt and fish. Being from Northwest Indiana, I was raised on fishing with my brother and dad. I also spend a lot of time outdoors. It's nice to know that you, along with Caitlin, appreciate the majestic outdoors!
I think it's really cool that you travel to Northwest Indiana occasionally because that is where I am from. Fishing is big because of lake Michigan, is that where you fished? I also am happy to see that you are a cubs fan! GO CUBS! On the other hand, it's very sad you are not a Bears fan, and your allegiance falls out of Chicago/Illinois. But of course, I am only giving you a hard time. One last thing I found cool about your blog was that you like boy meets world. Growing up that was one of my favorite shows. :)
