Weekend Update
Well, it's only 140 am, so I'll give a quick update of the weekend. Let's see Friday...
I went to my two classes, Philosophy and Zoology. Philosophy was interesting as always, and we have a new professor in zoology now because we are on a new topic and we have three total for the semester. It kinda sucks cause I liked the old one, but I think the new one will be fine too. After that, I came back to the room, ate, played some PS2, and then headed across the street to play some pickup games at the SERF (southeast recreation facility) with a few guys from my floor. I ended up playing five games and winning them all which was awesome because I had had a couple rough trips over there recently. Friday night I planned to just hang out in the room and maybe watch a movie or something since Todd is home apartment shopping over the weekend, but instead I ended up chilling with Tom from across the hall. Usually he would be out drinking, but he decided not to for some reason, so we played a couple games of ESPN College Hoops 2K5 for PS2. I was Duke and won the first one, and he was Illinois and won the rematch. After that, we watched Mitch Hedberg's DVD and then played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for PS2 which was actually really amusing and entertaining. All in all, it was an awesome night which was cool because these last few weekends have been a lot of fun which is a good change of pace.
Today I woke up and watched the Wisconsin-Illinois basketball game. I hung around the room not doing much for a while after that. At eight, I was sitting down to watch the Duke game and some people came into my room and convinced me to go play poker, so I Tivoed the game for later. It was five dollars to buy in and I was down, but ended up winning a few chips on the last hand to only finish 50 cents below my five bucks. I've played three times this semester and have 6.50 in profit to show for it. I watched the Duke game after that and it was a hell of a game, but fouls killed them. Five guys fouled out and they had two people in during overtime that had hardly played at all all year. When I finished that, I watched Miracle which I had borrowed from Tom. I really liked it, but it made me wish two things.
1) That I knew more about hockey (although with the NHL's problems right now, maybe it doesn't matter) and
2) That I still played competitive sports.
I really miss doing that. I even miss the practices. Everytime I play basketball, I just wish it had some structure and some ultimate goal. I always wonder if I would be happier trying to make a team at a D3 school or something. Even if I didn't make the main team, I could probably at least do JV or something. I don't know. Just something that crosses my mind.
Looks like this has gotten to be a sort of long entry. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and next week.
