Uh oh...

My roommate brought his Wii back from home along with like 15 games. This is not good. I have to get my applications finished. Hopefully, I can still make time for fun.

And the soccer team lost in OT in the first round of the Big 10 tourney. this probably means they won't make NCAA's. It was a fun season despite the result though.

No school tomorrow

No school tomorrow for Veteran's Day means that I'm going late night bowling tonight. There is a sweet alley in Columbus where we can bowl as many games as we want in 3 hours from 3am-7am. Me and a group of friends are hitting up the lanes around 3:30am so it should be a good time. I'm guessing I'll hit about 150 three or four times by the end of the night.

Life is good...most of the time

So I hadn't written in a while so I figured I should. Lots of things happening lately. I'm getting all of my applications filled out and preparing to send them in. There is sooooo much material that you don't realize is included in these things until you do them and then it hits you in the face. I think I'm doing a pretty good job staying on top of stuff though and I will be done before I know it.

Soccer game tonight (senior night) against the Akron Zips. They are #4 in the country and we basically have to win tonight to have a shot at the NCAA tourney. Granted we could win the Big 10 tourney and have an automatic bid but I don't foresee that happening so tonight is the night.

As you know, the election has come and gone. I didn't vote because I was registered in Illlinois, I was voting for McCain and he clearly wasn't going to win Barack's home state...plus, I had to absentee and all that stuff so not fun. I don't know how I feel about everything, though. I'm sure Obama will be a good leader, but how much difference can he make like he says he will? I just don't trust any President to really do anything they promise. I know he called for change...but what will he change? He never really said what would change...except for him being the Prez and not Bush. It's whatever though. I realize I'm not going to have money when I retire, my health benefits will be minor, and I'm sure taxes will go up. They always do. I just gotta live my life doing what I can.

That's all from this end. I'm gonna go play some Madden before I leave for soccer. Peace.

Quick update

-I'm traveling again this weekend to the school up north (That's M*ch*g*n for all of you non-OSU kids).

-I went to a haunted farm last night with Sarah and some friends. Parts were really good. Others weren't so hot. Either way, it was a fun night.

-My cell phone died randomly last night without any outside cause (I didn't drop it, get it too hot, get it wet...etc.) It was really aggravating and now I have to get a new one. I can still send and receive calls but I have no screen so I wont know who it is and can't get texting.

-My new credit card didn't get sent out and it expires today. That means I can't swipe anything until my new one arrives.

-I'm addicted to Mt. Dew.

-My fantasy football teams are all doing great.

-I'm disappointed the Rays couldn't win.

-Grad school apps need to be getting done but I keep putting them off. Not good.

-Happy Halloween

disappointing weekend

So the football Buckeyes had plenty of chances to win the game on Saturday but just couldnt pull out a victory. We didn't fall too far in the polls though and should still be ok for bowl season. Win or lose, it was a really fun night getting to see the game under the lights with all the hype and everything.

The soccer Buckeyes didn't have too great of a weekend either. They lost in overtime 3-2 against our soccer rival Indiana on national TV. After being down 2-0 a few minutes into the second half...the boys stormed back to tie the game and had several opportunities to go on top but couldn't come through. Hopefully we can finish out the season with 2 wins and then play well in the tournament. I'm not ready for the season to be over yet.

I have the day off today so I'm just relaxing for the day getting some errands done.

boo...rain

So scratch the haunted house plans....too much rain canceled everything but the actual house part of the trip so now it's not worth the drive. Maybe we will try again next week.

midterms...football....haunted houses

So I made a post earlier this week how I was through the first 5 weeks of the quarter (after today) and that means midterms were floating around. They usually stress me out because I have several tough ones but I really only had one big one so far because I only have one class that could possibly be tough. I mean...12 credits is what I'm taking so that I can be a full time student. 1 of those is my tennis class, 2 others are an Athletic Training class that everyone gets A's in, 5 are my Yiddish class but it's honestly the easiest class I've ever taken in college (I got a 32/30 on my midterm w/o studying...yes, that's over 100%). Everything about the class is easy, but it is interesting. We had a midterm in my Psych of Injury class on Wednesday and I think it went well but we shall see. I never really want to make assumptions until I get my grade. I have a practical today that shouldn't be too difficult. I mean....lets face it. I'm blogging right now when it is 2 hours from now. Hopefully the rest of the quarter plays out the same way as the first part.

Ohio State plays in its biggest game that wasn't a national championship since my sophomore year when Ohio State was #1 and Michigan #2. We are #9 and Penn State is #3. It's only the 8th night game ever at Ohio Stadium so it should be an unreal atmosphere. It is supposed to be balls cold with possible rain/mush falling from the sky. This could make the intensity dead or that much better. We shall see. Either way, I can't wait til Saturday night. In other football (futbol) news, the Men's soccer team plays a big game on Sunday against perennial soccer powerhouse Indiana. It's at our place and on the Big 10 network. If you all are bored and want to see a chance of me in action, turn on the Big 10 and watch the game. It should be a great one.

Tonight, with it being the weekend before Halloween, me, Sarah, Mike, & Mallory are all planning on going to a Haunted Farm...dun duh dun. That was my spooky noise for those of you unaware and questioning my sanity. If it doesn't rain, we are going to the barn, on a haunted hayride, and weaving our way through a haunted corn maze. It should be an exciting time.

One last note: THIS IS MY LAST SHIFT AT THE DORM DESK EVER...WOOOOHOOO. I have many memories from late nights and hang out times at the desk and it really changed my life in the best way possible. Every time I look at Sarah, I will remember this place. Well, maybe not every time. She does remind me of other things.

That's all for the day....its quite a bit but it's been a while.
