Wow..high school wrestling

I just spent 20 hours this weekend providing medical coverage for the state championships of Ohio High School wrestling. Never really being exposed to wrestling, this really gave me a new view on what this is all about. It is intense. It was also good for a nice paycheck coming to my bank account hopefully as soon as possible.

I am registering/paying for my certification test today as well. Good thing I just got my tax refund today.

And things are all good elsewhere. It's amazing how good communication can change things.

What a life

So Missouri is now official. I accepted the position yesterday to go there next year for graduate school. I'm still waiting on my official sporting assignment but I suspect it would be with women's soccer or baseball. I honestly can not wait for this new part in my life. The only catch to the whole thing is the certification exam that is coming up quicker than anticipated. As it turns out, it seems like I might be able to take the exam in April after all. This is great news except that it rapidly increases my studying b/c now I only have a month to get through the rest of my material as opposed to 3 months. We'll see how everything turns out.

In other news, I'm very upset that I wasted my life watching the Bachelor after how it all ended. It's all over the news so I'm not going to talk about it. I am very disappointed though. On the bright side though, American Idol is picking up the pace a bit and getting to the final 12 and 24 is still as intense as ever. Season finale of ABDC is this week as well so it should be an exciting showdown.

My first couple fantasy baseball drafts are this week. I really haven't researched much so I hope they turn out well. Time for bed. It's late.

Wow...it's been a while

So amidst all of the hustle and bustle of my life recently, I haven't really been able to post much. However, I feel like a lot has happened. Baseball spring games are getting going which means the regular season is coming up fast. That also means it's almost time for my yearly 4 or 5 fantasy baseball leagues. Get excited. I mean...you don't have to if you don't want but I'm going to with or without you.

Only one more class left today and week 8 of the quarter is complete. That amazes me how quickly it's gone. After this week, we only have 2 more weeks and then finals. Yikes!

American Idol is kind of a let down for me this year. I'm still watching each episode but I'm definitely not drawn in like I have been. The new formatting they have for the show really isn't very dramatic and is extremely predictable. However, 24 is living up to it's full potential. I'm so glad it's back. The Bachelor is picking his winner this week so that is gonna give me a few more hours in my week once that is done. I've also started to watch Demitri Martin's new sketch comedy show. It's pretty entertaining and I get several laughs a show from it.

Grad school stuff should be finalizing any day now so that is a big relief. Now I just have to make sure I pass my exam in June. Gotta start studying now.

One final thing that I've learned this week is that a great way to lose some weight is to get an ulcer on the inside of your tongue. It makes it darn near impossible to eat without being in pain so you just avoid those urges. Sorry if that is kind of gross...but it's not lunchtime yet so you'll be ok.

That's all for now. Gonna go enjoy the warmer weather in case it disappears abruptly again.

Headed home

So since I have an exam tomorrow, I'm procrastinating right now writing a new blog entry. I'm just so bored with this class that I don't even care anymore. Add that to the fact that I get to go home tomorrow right after my exam and you can see why I'm not focused. I'm definitely not as nervous for this interview as the one at GSU. I'm more excited than anything. I am dreading the intense amount of driving and soccer camps and other work I need to get done this weekend though. I guess this comes with it. Back to work.

Drumroll please.....

So after much deliberation with those closest to me, I've decided I am going to decline the offer to Georgia Southern and will pursue my Master's degree at the University of Missouri next year. It was a very difficult decision, but after weighing the most important factors, Missouri is the right choice for me and my future. While I am going to miss spending my days in sunny Georgia and being an hour from the beach, I think this is the best decision and I'm very happy with why I've chosen Mizzou. Now I just have to call GSU Monday to let them know. I'm excited for what the future has to hold.

Ouch...that hurts!!

Life just hit me in the face today...I got an offer for a graduate assistantship position at one school and was told I rank very high at another school. That's great. The problem lies in the fact that I have to decide on the one school by Monday. What to do....what to do? I'm so confused right now. Hopefully a phone call tomorrow will help me out. I'll post more when I know more.

Super game

What a finish to the Super Bowl. I was definitely on the edge of my seat during most of the game. That was for sure one of the best games I've seen in my lifetime.

Way to represent The Ohio State University Santonio by winning the MVP. You the man.
