My Aunt's Wedding

Last Friday was my Aunt Kim's wedding. I had a lot of fun meeting her new husbands Sean's family. I dressed very outlandish for this wedding, wearing black slacks, a black shirt, with a white tie, a white belt, and white shoes. The wedding was non-traditional. My Aunt Kim actually walked up the aisle with Sean and there wasn't even a reception after words. We did all go and eat at Olive Tree, which was amazing. I saw all of my cousins and even planned to hang out with them that night but I forgot I had a Psychology test the next morning and hadn't started studying. It wasn't until 1:00am did I realize I had to actually finish a lot of homework before I could take the test at 9:30am. I stayed up until 5:00am finishing my online quizzes and assignments. Needless to say, after my test, I was a bum. I sat around the SigEp house all say and played Call of Duty 4, which was the first time I have played any sort of video game since college started. I am tired and ready to head out of here so I will post again tomorrow.

Me and my Sister Me and my Mom

Victory is Sweet

We are currently undefeated in Intramural Softball. We defeated Beta 10-6 and Phi Delt 4-0. We have been struggling offensively but defensively we have been flawless. Beta only scored so many runs because they have one player who can jack a home run every single time he is at bat. He batted 4 times and hit 4 home runs, otherwise the game wouldn't have even been close. We are now preparing for a big SigEp softball tournament in Dallas the first weekend in April. It should be a lot of fun. We took 1st place in the undergrad and 3rd place overall, including alumni, last year. We hope to win it all this year. I will let you know how the tournament turns out later. We need to work on our batting so we are going to the batting cages this Sunday to get some extra practice.

My anatomy class has been going a lot better. My grade is slowly rising and my teacher is there to help when I need it. I hope everything will work out in the end. I am tired and have other things to do, so this is all for today.

Softball Begins

Today officially kicks off the start of the Intramural Softball League for Greeks at WSU. Sig Ep plays its first game today at 7:30 at the Heskett Center against Beta. I will be starting first base for the A team. I am really not sure how we will do because we have only had one practice but I doubt Beta has practiced much more than we have. We won softball last year but this year I have heard Beta and Phi Delt are actually pretty good. Our two toughest games are tonight and tomorrow as we have Phi Delt Wednesday. Anyways wish us luck.

Spring Break

This was the first spring break I did not go anywhere. I stayed home and felt like a real bum. I watched a lot of basketball and got caught up on some of my online class work. I usually travel to Colorado to go skiing or down to Florida with the family but my younger brother's spring break was the week before mine. I enjoyed the different break and am actually looking forward to summer now. Seeing as how there is only a month and a half left of school, I need to really crack down and focus on my studies and try to raise my grades.

Even with the extra help I have been receiving for Anatomy, I still have not been able to improve my testing. I am not sure what to do yet but I am sure I will figure something out.

Work Out / Pump It Up.

Yesterday was the first time I have worked out all semester and the first long distance run I have been on since 8th grade. I ran two miles and felt like I was going vomit after the first, I pushed myself and finished the 2nd. It was the toughest two miles ever. In 8th grade, when I ran cross-country, I could run 5 miles and not even be tired. I am just out of shape.

My friend Kyle invited me out to Pump It Up with him for his little cousins birthday party. Pump It Up is this aired up obstacle course with slides and whatnot. Kyle and I actually had a fun time. There were boxing gloves and a boxing ring where we boxed at. The obstacle course was actually kind of hard because it was meant for smaller kids and was hard for us to squeeze through some of the obstacles. Anyways I am extremely sore and in lots of pain from the running and Pump It Up. It hurts to move my legs and I have difficulties walking up stairs. I guess it is time for me to get back into shape. Later,

Mowing Season

Today I think I will kick off the mowing season. It is really nice out and the grass is just starting to grow. I really enjoy mowing, especially during the summer, because I like to be outside in the sun. I do tan fairly easy so there is another perk. I have my own business with nine yards. Over this past summer I had accrued as many as 25, but that was too much for me to handle. I tried looking for a partner but no one wanted to work for me. I had no choice but to drop a few yards. I am going to check on my equipment after I get of work at the MWC and get started mowing. I hope I will still find time to get my school work done. Anyways I am heading out of here. Later

Saint Patty's Day

Last night was a lot of fun, a fellow SigEp and I decided to dress up like white trash, but some called it green trash. We found these green mullets and these really trashy hats, we wore green shirts and frayed jean shorts. I am not going to lie, we looked pretty good. I don't have my camera with me now, but I will be sure to put some pictures up.

I am excited that it is Spring Break but even more excited that my sister is coming home today. I have not seen her since Christmas Break. I will be back on this blog later.

Anatomy Quizzes

I took one of my Anatomy quizzes today and have another tomorrow. This one went well I think, I switched around the Flexor and Extensor Carpi muscles on the arm, but I knew everything else on the quiz. I am more worried for the quiz tomorrow. I am so confused in the lecture it is not even funny. I dont know what we are going over now or what to study for. I asked for some advise from my teacher but it did not help much. I will be going to some of my fellow SigEp brothers for help in the class. Hopefully this works...

Sick again

Today I woke up barely able to get out of bed, I felt horrible. After pressing snooze on my alarm at least three times; I got up and into the shower. I still felt like a drudge and decided to skip my classes for the day. These were the first classes I have missed all semester. I tried to call into work but my boss was not in her office for the day. So I reluctantly came into work and here I am now writing my blog. I found out that I did not miss anything in my English class but I missed a pop quiz in Anatomy. This was the first pop quiz we have had all year, he just so happened to have it on the first class I miss all year. What luck eh? O well, I have two more anatomy quizzes coming up tomorrow and Friday. I am going to start studying for them now so I can go to the baseball game later tonight. I will post again tomorrow.

My Birthday Weekend

As you all know my birthday was last Friday. I had an ok time. I was really tired and didn't feel much like going out. I showed up for the baseball game at 3 but it was canceled. I am not sure why, but I think the Harvard players were wimps and didn't want to play in the cold, so they made it up on Saturday. The first game we won 16 to 3, the next game we won 11 to 10 in extra innings, then we played them again on Sunday and won 13 to 2. It was a successful series against an ivy league team. After I found out the game was canceled I went to my room and slept, I know, lame right? Then I woke up and went to Sig Ep and just hung out there until about 1:00, when I went back to bed. Needless to say, I was rejuvenated for Saturday night.

I had a great time at our Heaven and Hell date party. I was dressed as an angel and my date was a devil. My date was awesome and I had a lot of fun with her. There were lots of funny costumes as well as some lame ones. Two people dressed up as Roman gods, some dressed up as priests, others as Jesus, but wore tuxedo T-shirts. It's from the movie Talladega Nights when Cal Naughton Jr says, "I like to think of Jesus as wearin' a Tuxedo T-shirt, cause it says, like, I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too." So the tuxedo T-shirts were pretty funny. The costumes were great and the party was awesome.

Sunday was a blast as well. It was so nice out. I went to the baseball game and watched WSU cream Harvard for the third time. After that I went back to my parents house and picked up all of my baseball gear because intramural softball is about to start and we had our first practice. I am pretty sure I will be on the A team, which is very good, especially for a freshman coming in and replacing an older member that was on the championship team last year. Practice was a lot of fun. After that I just went back to my fraternity and played this game called washers and then went to a movie.

I feel great, probably the best I have felt on a Monday in a long time. I am excited that I only have one more week until spring break and even more excited that I don't have very much going on in my classes this week. So I am the most energetic I have been in a while. Take care.

Heaven and Hell

This Saturday my fraternity is putting on this date party called heaven and hell. So basically you can dress up as an angel, which is what I am doing, or a devil. We all have our dates picked out and most of us have our costumes ready; I just have my idea. I will probably put it together Saturday morning before the dance.

There is another baseball game this Friday, I will be attending it after I get out of classes. Friday is also my birthday, so it should be a fun night. I turn the big one nine. Anyways I will fill you in on my weekend next Monday.

Intramural

Intramural sports are a big part of fraternity life. We are in basketball season now and we are currently undefeated. We have many 'A' team games and 'B' team games this week. So tonight I will play in the B team game and then watch the A team play. This is the final game of the regular season, then we go into the single elimination championship tournament. I am really looking forward to the softball season immediately following basketball. Baseball is my sport, I love watching and playing. This is why I was so excited for WSU baseball to start. Anyways, wish us luck for the tournament.

Another Quiz

Remember when I told you about my anatomy quiz last Thursday. Well we had another one today. It was alright, I thought I had prepared myself appropriately but I guess not. It was only a 1 page quiz, front and back, but the backside was impossible. I had no idea what any of the questions were asking.

English, surprisingly is going a lot better. I enjoy the class but still think my teacher is awesome. Anyways when I turn my edited papers back in I should have a very solid A in that class.
