Big win...and grad school finally arrives (kindof)

So I had my first grad school exam on Thursday. It went well...I got a 35/36 on it. It was open book and my professor gave us the topic of each question the week before the test. Not exactly what I expected from grad school. None of my classes have been to this point. Not that I mind...just seems weird. I'm not paying for it, though, so I guess deep down, I really don't mind much.

We had an easy win on Wednesday and a huge, hard fought battle on Saturday with volleyball. After Texas A&M beat perennial national contender Nebraska earlier in the week, they came into our place ready to roll us out of our own building. They went up 2 games to none but Mizzou came storming back after the intermission. After tying up the match 2 games a piece....Mizzou but the hammer down to complete the comeback. It was a huge win for us at home. Now we head on the road for 2 tough games against Baylor and Iowa State, both of which are ranked in the top 25. Mizzou's record sits at 10-4 to this point and we have the best start at home to start the season since 2003.

The Cardinals finally clinched the division the other day. Now it's on to the playoffs. I have tickets for game 5 of the first round if need be. I would rather them clinch early, though.
