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.

It's 7 am on Tuesday...what else woujld I be doing

I am super tired. I'm definitely not a fan of opening up work at 6 am back to back days. It's rough. Especially if you don't get home from class Monday night until 1015...That already puts me at less that 8 hours.

I finally get to stay home this weekend. First time in 3 weeks that I'm not traveling. It should be nice.

Ugh....what a weekend

So I just spent 4 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan helping their economy and breathing their air. Yuck. While the volleyball team went 3-1 over the weekend...we did get beat by the freakin wolverines. Doesn't matter if I'm at Mizzou or not...I will always hate losing to Michigan.

To top it off, I had to be in that city on a weekend in which they had a huge football upset and my beloved Buckeyes were taken down in the final minutes against USC after winning most of the game. I had to watch the game in the middle of a hated rivals town.

Anyways...it's good to be there. Hopefully I don't catch anything from being in Ann Arbor for 4 days.

Welcome to the the mountains of Mormon-land

So I'm in Utah (Salt Lake City more specifically) this weekend for a volleyball tourney. We got in last night after a long day of travel but overall it wasn't a bad day. We play tonight at 4 local time and tomorrow we have 2 games. When we first rolled in...I was not impressed with the mountains and Salt Lake and all of that jazz that comes with this state. However, today in the sunlight without the smoggyness..the mountains were quite impressive. They just surround everything and project through the sky in a very powerful way. It is actually pretty cool. Hopefully we can pull out a win tonight and a couple tomorrow and get back to MO 6-0.

scratch that

Sarah probably is not coming this weekend unless a miracle happens....this sucks.

Hit the ground running

1 class done....another this afternoon....supposed to be 1 more tonight but I'm not attending. Volleyball is hosting a tourney this weekend so I've got super busy days today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Sarah hopefully gets here on Saturday night. She needs too b/c I will definitely need some hang out time after this weekend is over. It's been too long since we've seen each other.

I gotta clean the house tonight so she doesn't think I'm a slob and since there isn't much other time during the weekend.

Life is good.

Meat and Potatoes

Two-a-days are all but over for volleyball. No practice tomorrow and 1 on Sunday so I guess technically they are done. We had the Black & Gold game tonight which went over without a hitch. I'm excited to get into the season and start traveling to places I've never been before.

Class starts Monday. Not sure I'm as ready for that. I have no clue where classes are and really dont want to get back into homework. I honestly feel almost like a freshman again not knowing how this school operates and where to find the information I need.

I'm getting excited for Sarah to get here. She is supposed to be 1 week away from getting here. Hopefully the car trouble she just got won't keep her there longer than needed.
