New Semester, Same Life
So, I'm back at school for another semester. Another session. Seems like the same old song and dance by now. Semester #3...good stuff. I actually promised myself that I would to my best ability to to the gym about 4 times a week. I don't know why I am writing that of all things in my livejournal considering there is a metaphorical black hole in the chronicles of my life were one to check up on me via this journal and I could write so many more interesting facts or stories about myself. Maybe I just feel like if I log my plans in something more tangible than just my own mind then I will have a better chance of following through on them.
Or maybe I should just write about what's actually happened in my life...
Sports are nice...but I find myself leaning on them less and less over time. Sometimes I find the whole idea of "diehards" silly when it comes to some things here at Clemson. Don't get me wrong; I love going to football and b-ball games....but I'm done with being really angry after losses and letting it affect any other feelings I have towards any other fans, schools, or friends. I'm sick some fans hating a single person for being from a certain opposing school such as Virginia Tech or South Carolina. I really don't care where you are from or what school you root for so long as you are not an asshole to me. Whatever happened to judging a person by character and not by an attribute as trivial as collegiate allegiance? It's a real pompous and self-righteous quality to judge a person by the shirt over his or her back without actually sharing any words.
But when it comes to sports...man, our football team just gave up this year. So did the falcons, too. But it seems like Clemson is a basketball school now! We're 17-0 and ranked as high as #14 in the nation. We are also the last undefeated b-ball team in Division I play. So we have that going for us...great!
But the biggest news since my last update has to be that my sister is pregnant again, which is great. The radiologist was 85% sure that the baby is a girl...which only lead to questions from me as to how exactly that percentage came to be which could not be answered. Anyways, Jonathan wants his sister to be named "Cookie," but Brooke decided she didn't like the name so much when I mentioned how when she is in high school guys can say "Break me off a piece of that hot cookie!" Thanks to that, among other things, Brooke and Scott want to have some sort of C name to please Jonathan.
I have a lighter class load this semester, which is nice because last semester was way too packed in and pulled my GPR down to a 3.57. I pulled a couple grades out that I didn't think I would get...but I still wasn't happy with my performace. Hopefully I can buckle down and concentrate better this semester.
Anyways, it's bedtime and I'm done writing in this.
