Finals

I don't understand how people can tell you not to stress about finals when it is the biggest test in the semester. I understand that unless you like really bomb it you won't fail. But lets say you have an A- in a class. You take a crappy final and all of the sudden its a B now. That is money right out of the door. Scholarships look at that. they saw well he doesn't have an A or something and they move on. With college being already being way over priced, how can I, having to pay for every single penny of my college career afford to lose that scholarship? This doesn't make sense to me. I understand the concept of just relaxing and taking it easy. but lets be serious there is a lot on the line, so when people want to tell me to relax and stop stressing I want to tell them well pay for my college and I will. but I don't because that would be mean.

Drunk people

So back to the story of this Big guy who is 300 pounds. I wrote about him in previous posts. Last friday was the football party and since i was the designated driver (because i don't drink) I drove him there. well at the party we will just say that he had way to many way to fast. because we were only there for an hour and I took him home. Before we got out to my car he had to try and climb in. That was a feat in itself. All in all he fell, I laughed. Later on that night I dropped him of at his dorm and i went to my dorm which is to doors down. Anyways he went out to Joe's about 5 min later and I didn't hear anything from him till about 2 in the morning when Joe's closes. I waited up for him to make sure he made it home ok. Well I heard him yell at someone on the way up the stairs and then a loud smash. He then walked down the hall and I thought he dropped something but upon closer investigation I saw it to be blood. He then walked past me to the bathroom. I thought he had just cut his had and would wash it off. But I looked at the hall and I knew that there is no way that much blood could have come from a small cut. So I rushed to the bathroom and saw the gash in his hand. I told him to put pressure on it because the bleeding wasn't slowing down. I then came out and told one of my friends to go get the car because he needed to go to the hospital. After all that I then mopped the floor because I knew he would be in enough trouble with window that he had just smashed and he would be in more trouble if there was blood everywhere. Anyway it turned out he needed seven stitches in two different places on his hand because apparently he forgot that glass with chicken wire is most likely not the best thing to punch.

Black friday people

This weekend I was watching the news and saw that some people in a bigger city got trampled on heading into a target. 1. That to me just shows how dumb people really are. 2 I saw a really old lady in the back just pushing people not even trying to get in, she was just pushing people. 3 There is nothing that is that good in target!! If it was a best buy I can maybe see a little pushing. But that was just ridiculous to me. All of the people there just needed to be smacked. Plus it was like 4 in the morning that is also ridiculous.

Black friday drivers

This weekend was the weekend of thanksgiving. Normally this means people are nice and caring and generous. They are thankful for many things, but it seems like this is too much for people. They can't handle all the niceness that they give because on black friday the majority of people are horrible drivers and very rude at the stores. My dad and I went to hit baseballs in Cedar Rapids at 10 in the morning. On the way up there the speed limit is 55, natural I was going a little past it like most people only 63 though. Anyway that is besides the point. As I was going down the highway I noticed this large SUV right on my bumper, this frustrated me but I didn't do anything because I wasn't in a hurry, later on when he thought it was clear to pass when anybody who isn't blind or has an IQ above 3 would have saw the on coming cars and would have been think "whoa there are cars right in front of me, I shouldn't pass," not this guy, he apparently gunned it and tried to fit in, being as I didn't feel like dying that day I slammed on the brakes and let him in. He then found out that I was behind a line of 5 or 6 more cars going slower than what I was and he almost died to pass one car who is now right behind him. He is lucky that I even let him in because I thought about continuing my speed and not letting him in.

Class

Today in class we talked about how different people feel about religion. I partly agreed with Townsley claims. I am a methodist and I am not saying what religion is the right or wrong one. But the part that bothered me was the fact that he was saying other people's religion was untruthful. That to me is worse than just accepting what is going on. I understand he is upset about the different scripts being read at his worship, I also know that should most likely not have been reading a different script in a Lutheran church but he has no say in telling people what religion is right, or truthful. Thats what has been causing war in the holy land for centuries. We don't need Americans fight over the same thing.

Stress

This weekend has been very stressful, one our football team lost. Two I am already starting baseball on sunday. third I have a huge bio test to study for, but I have been studying for awhile but it is still very difficult to learn. I also have to give a speech on monday, that I haven't started on. To me this is crazy but then I realize this isn't even finals week yet.... I am not looking forward to that week at all. I don't feel very good about my test either. Every one says bio is way hard but to me I usually don't get very bad grades in bio but this last test I did and now I have another one so I am very stressed about this test... I can't do bad..

Football

This saturday Wartburg lost to Bethal 28 to 22. Our team played pretty well but overall I thought that we should have beat Bethal. Our offense had two good drives otherwise they stalled out after maybe 3 plays. I thought we should have passed it more because their defensive line was very big and it was tough for our guys to get position. When our offense passed it we gained big chunks of yards very quickly. O well its not my call I guess. On the defensive end we held out pretty well, the only reason they scored was because our saftey's fell for the trick plays. Other than that we stopped the run pretty well. They didn't get any touchdowns by just running down the field.
