Luther

This saturday we played Luther, our rival. The Wartburg Knights were 7-0 coming into this game so we have a lot going for us. We started the game of very well our offense marched right down the field and scored. But after that Luther just found a way to hang on. Our defense didn't give up any points till the end of the 1st half on a hail marry pass that bounced of one receiver and landed in a another hand. Our coaches gave us a good pep talk in the locker room and we came out and scored, but Luther was still hanging on. It was only 24 to 15 in the 4th quarter. Near the end of the 4th Luther scored a field goal to make it 18 to 24 Wartburg. Luther tried to onside kick and they kicked a great onside kick except that the kicker didn't kick it into the ground first. Because he didn't kick it into the ground first we could fair catch it. When our receiver signaled fair catch they couldn't touch him. The only thing was he didn't attempt to catch the ball so they shouldn't have given us the fair catch. But they did and we kept the ball and ran out the clock. and we WON!!!!

Babysitting

I am a football player, and MOST not all but most of the football players drink. I am one of the few exceptions to this stereo type. Even though stereo typing is bad I believe this stereo type is true. Any way back to the story. I was just sitting in my room attempting but not completing my homework on saturday night when one of my friends who also wasn't drinking asked me to go with him to Joe's. Being bored out of my mind and not really accomplishing anything on the homework side I said yes. This was a bad idea. Two of my friends decided to get drunk and I was with them to make sure they got home safe. I know I could have stayed home or even left them but I didn't. Once Joe's closed and we headed home. When we got into the dorm hall, things started to happen. One of my friends decided he needed to think, in the middle of the hallway. He just sat there and did nothing. After about ten minutes of thinking someone called my other friend and was crying. Then one on the floor heard this and said lets go. He then took off into the middle of clinton field. Unfortunelty someone let him in and he headed to some girl who was crying. After about a half hour of slurred talking I finally convinced him to come home where he then said he heard a ringing which no one else heard. Which was quite entertaining. After that I finally convienced him to go to bed and that was the end of my night.

Social Change Wheel

On the social change wheel, I think I fall into the direct service catagory because I like to help kids when I get the chance too. But I don't go out of my way just to help people so I could probably do more to help them. I also think I am part of the Socially Responsible Dailly Behavior, by reyceling paper and aluminum, etc...But that is also about it. I should defienently try to change my ways but it is very difficult with the limited schedule with football and school and my job. I would like to change the way I am, and I think I could if I conciously make the effort everywhere I go.

Today I bought a couch for my dorm because I lofted my bed. I asked my roommate if I could turn my bed sideways kind of by his bed, but I would be blocking part of his bed but not that much. I asked him and he said no because he needed to get in his bed and I thought to myself really? you need a whole bed to get into? because the bed was not taking up a lot of his just some but it would leave us a lot of room for the rest of the dorm. But no he didn't want to so now we have to be crammed on the side of the wall because he didn't want to. I just think that since we are both sharing the room we should agree more.

Social Network

Last night I went to the movie Social Network. It was about the creator of facebook and how facebook became to be. I was a little skeptical because it didn't have very good previews, but my girlfriend really wanted to see it so I said sure why not. Turns out, it was a really good movie! It was about 2 and a half hours, but if felt like 15 minutes. It was very interesting to find out that the creator of Facebook is a college kid who kind of stole a little idea but also tweaked it very slightly. Once he created Facebook the people that he took it from got mad but didn't argue with him for a while because that is not the gentlemenly thing to do. After the people saw that Facebook was a huge hit they finally filed a lawsuit, turns out they won! Only to settle with about 65 million. To me that is a lot of money to the creator of Facebook, pocket change. Facebook is now worth over 2.5 billion dollars. The creator of Facebook became the youngest billionaire ever, and is told that he will pass Bill Gates very soon.

Biology

I am im biology, and when ever they want you to write papers they have their own style of writing, as well as our writing class. That bothers me, but not as much as the fact that the bio dept. is way stricter than our actual writing class! Too me it should be the other way, but no if our margins are a half inch off they are taking major points off. I understand wanting a certain way but I didn't think that you would have to almost drop a whole letter grade for it.

Society

Today I went to my girlfriends room to hang out. On her wall she had some Taylor Latner poster, I was ok with it because its just a poster, but because I am feisty I was giving her crap about having a half naked man on her wall. While I was giving her crap something came up, I asked her if I could also have a picture of a girl on my wall. She said it was ok as long as the girl had pants and a shirt on, because thats what he has on in his poster. I looked online for posters and even at walmart, there is hardly any posters of girls in pants and a shirt, and thats what goes on in our society girls dress in skimpy clothes and are oooed and ahhed but when most guys do it, it is just wrong. So who choose's this and why does it have to be like that? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Music

It has been said that music is a good way to express yourself. I think this is true because I play the guitar and the drums. When you play your favorite songs you can lose of track of things and time around you. Playing the drums can relieve stress as well as give you a work out. Playing the guitar can help release stress as well but it is not as big of a work out as the drums. When you play the guitar and you can learn your favorite songs it is so cool to me. Trying to match what people have created and made them millions of dollars is pretty exciting.

homework 2

Tonight is a saturday night and I am sitting in my room doing homework! This is not good, I would much rather be hanging out with my friends, but no I procrastinated and now I have to sit in her and finish it. Outfly was supposed to be a day of catching up for me but some how that did not happen.. I wonder why? It's a good thing I bought those noise canceling head phones, so I can block all the people in the hall having fun and being really loud.

Procrastination

Procrastination, everybody does it or has done it at sometime. I think that with a large work load or a busy schedule that 3 things will occur, one a person will buckle down and work hard and get everything done before hand, (but that is unusual and besides the point I want to talk about). The second thing that could happen is that a person could go into some kind of stressed out situation which is not good. The third thing is that they could procrastinate and wait to do things because at the end of a long day it is hard to motivate yourself to do work. Now procrastination is not good but a lot of kids do it. It can get you into a lot of trouble as well. A good hard worker will usually push through the thought of just laying around and sleeping or going to hang out with your friends, and normally I can do that as well, but the other day I came back to my dorm after a long school day, then practice, then work, and I tried to get up the idea of doing homework but I couldn't so I fell asleep. That is not a good idea because the next day you just have twice as much.
