End of 31
And what I really need to be doing is dragging my narrow behind off to bed. However, I've not written in here in four? days already. Goodness, where does the time go!
So, I am now into the last week of my 31st year. Yes I know I'm turning 31 years of age, but think about it. I will in fact wrap up 31 years of existence on September 13, not 30. I've often thought we need to rethink how we define this in English.
Speaking of things that should be rethought, shouldn't we rename Labor Day take-off day, or something like that. It's certainly more in line with what most of us would like to be doing on said. As for me, I didn't do anything substantive. Well I did force myself to reread some articles for this duplicate class. And someone from the class on the study of the brain whom I'd not met in person but had only conversed with via e-mail came over to help me run some errands. I could tell by the tone of her messages that she would be a nice person. That is of course the difficulty of living in a town like this: you may as well forget using public transportation on a holiday.
I didn't get a real grilled burger, but I did break out the George and make my own sort of grilled delight. I also had steak fries that were huge! I think I put too many in the pot. See? Somebody should've come over for company.
And finally, we have sports. This was an exciting football weekend. The University of North Carolina Tar Heels had a bunch of people get kicked off of its football team due to academic and other violations. It was therefore thought that they would stand little chance of defeating Louisiana State University on Saturday night. The way the game started seemed to bear this out, as by the end of the 2nd quarter they trailed 30-10 and were basically not there. I turned it off, until I saw reports that they'd completed a 97-yard touchdown pass. They then scored again to cut it to six with 2 minutes remaining in the 4th. Amazingly, they got all the way to the LSU 6 yard line for the last play of the game, but that final pass was incomplete. They definitely put up a good, if unexpected, fight.
I also just finished watching Boise State University take down Virginia Tech in a thrilling game 33-30. They've had a number of great seasons, and yet they still garner little respect. I'm really hoping they can take the title this season.
And that's all. iTunes is playing The Time Of My Life. Man, this song makes me long for the good ol' care-free days. Meanwhile, I have to try again later today to get these ding dongs to help me with tuition and hearing aid issues. This endless craziness is making me think about starting my own colony on Saturn, as Stevie Wonder suggested. Any volunteers wanna help me? Hope you all have a good shortened week!
