Free Bird

I am now part of the Democratic People's Republik of Korea. At least in one of my classes. We get to simulate negotiations with the rest of the Six-Party Crew, and I volunteered for North Korea. I am by no means a socialist, but I think the situations of the so called "rogue states" are intriguing, and there are no countries as isolated as North Korea.

Messages from other departments indicate that spring has come early, at least for some time - last night I was out running at around 7 in sweats and shorts. Finally back on the exercise track after my neck locked itself.

Presidents Weekend here in the great ol' US and A, which means we get this Friday and the coming Monday off. Great to get some extra time to relax and map out homework. Good thinking. I'm not going to celebrate any presidents though...

There is a lack of football news, except the New Brett Favre Saga (copyright Zip-City) where he retired for good. Again. To Kjetil: I told you so! Uconn hoops team doing very well, currently ranked #1 in the nation, the Celtics have stumbled a few times against good teams lately, so I'm not so sure about winning the conference any more. And A-Rod admitting to having used steroids. Ouch. That one is going to leave a mark on MLB.

That's it for now, I have a speaker to attend later tonight, so time for some grub. You stay classy (insert current location here).

Fun times!

We had some snow on Tuesday evening, so we ended up playing some tackle football outside the library, which was great fun until I got a stinger in the neck. Now I'm on cyclobenzaprine and naproxen for the rest of the week. Not funny.

Classes are coming along great, and the teachers I didn't like originally are starting to grow on me...will keep an eye on that situation.

Anybody watch the Super Bowl? It was a pretty shitty game, with a kind of an awesome ending, even though I would have liked the Cards to win it. I guess Holmes was a decent choice for MVP, though I thought that Harrison should have gotten it. Pro Bowl this weekend, are you all as pumped as I am? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOO!

End game

F**ken' Steelers. I did not like the way that game ended, but it was exciting. More to come next week, cause, I'm not in the mood right now.

(Edit: Yes, I picked the Steelers to win, doesn't mean I wanted them to)

Super Sunday

The day we have all been waiting for! Except, the Patriots are not present as a team. As a result, I'm having problems being excited for the game. I mean, Larry Fitz is better than Randy Moss. No diss on Moss, but Larry is too good. And I like a good hitting defense, like the Steelers are. But, I'm still having problems getting pumped up for this game. My team is down at a local watering hole, eating Pittsburghers and Cardinal Wings, while I will be having chilli, icecream and donuts. Anyway, the reason you are here today:

Pittsburgh
@ Arizona
(In Tampa Bay)
This is technically a Pittsburgh home game, since every fan is going to be waving that terrible towel. The Steelers have a suffocating defense, and they will create havoc in Arizona's backfield. I think Pittsburgh will win the game, and I think they will cover the 7 point spread. Their defense is just to good and their offense will make a few good plays. I hate to do it, but...
Pick: Pittsburgh -7.0

Now you all have a great game, and we will talk to you later.

More on different topics of absolutely no value

The week rolled by with only one snow closing, on Wednesday. We had the insane amount of 5cm of snow covering the ground, so naturally, nobody could get nowhere. Spent the day thawing meat and playing Left 4 Dead, which is absurdly addicting! If you haven't tried it yet, steal an Xbox and get busy playing!

Psych today was quite interesting, this class might be what I am looking for as a major. Comparative politics is also looking pretty sweet, we get to do discussions and my classmates seem to be of the bright kind (not insinuating that I myself is particulary bright).

Big weekend for all sports fans across the globe, as it is Super Bowl Sunday in less than 30 hours! I haven't made a pick for the game, and I am not sure I will, because I really have no idea what will happen. Maybe we'll flip a coin.

People coming by later, we might go to the bar tonight. You all have a great one, I'll check in tomorrow or early Sunday.

Eastern, spring 09 edition

Or should I say winter? It's colder here than back home, that's for sure. Had a pretty OK flight, even though we were delayed out of London.

There were supposed to be some pictures here, but they would not let me upload them. Will see if I can do anything about it later.

Had a great vacation, that's for sure, good to meet friends and family again. Now it's back to the grind, and I must say, chemistry actually looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Not sold on psych yet, but we'll see if it grows on me. Now for some mathematical reading...

8th

Happy Birthday!
