a little update

So far, things have been going pretty well. My birthday was on Sunday (2/26). I recently turned 21 years old. I am very excited about finally becoming this age. I went down to Fed Hill, with a bunch of my friends, to go drink at the bars. I went Saturday night, but by the time we made it there, it was already 12:00 a.m. I had a great time. We took a shuttle down there, which costed $20 a person. This was a very good deal, because a taxi from my house to Fed Hill would cost a good sum of money. The shuttle driver must of made bank. The shuttle held around 31 passengers, so he made around $600.

Another good thing that happened during the weekend, was my team won our second game. We played against Hampden-Sydney College. We just squeezed by with a win against this team. We are going to have to play a lot better for the game this upcoming weekend. This weekend we play Western New England College. We played them last year and won, but this is a new year. As long as we have a good week of practice, we should be prepared enough for Saturday.

School has been going well. I have been keeping up with all my schoolwork. I've been enjoying all my classes. Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually my busy days, because I have three classes in a row. My Mondays and Wednesdays are pretty easy. I only have two classes on those days and my first class does not star until noon. I always look forward to sleeping in a bit. The one positive about my Tuesday and Thursday classes is that I get finished by 1:30. I am going to schedule next semester like this current semester, so I can get all my classes done earlier in the day.

getting busy

So I have been pretty busy lately. Im starting to get a good amount of work to do in my classes. My religion class has been keeping me very busy. I had to write two papers for the class this week. I had one test this week. I haven't really had too many tests this semester.

The lacrosse season has finally started. We won our first home game last Saturday. We have another home game this Saturday. Lacrosse practice has been going well. The practices have been getting a little shorter, so its nice to get out a little earlier. This way I have more time to get my homework done, then I can relax. Today was a really nice day out. It was very warm out during my practice. I hope it stays warm all week. I enjoy playing in the warm weather over the cold. I really hope it starts getting warm soon. The weather has been so strange lately. One day its freezing cold, then the next day is nice and warm. I think a few days ago, it was suppose to snow, but it ended up being a decently nice day. Hopefully my work load lightens up, so I can go relax outside if its warm.

so far...

This week has been pretty good so far. School has been going well. The homework load has not been too bad. For some reason, this semester seems a little easier then last semester. It could be due to the fact that I am taking easier classes, but who knows. Last semester, it seemed like I had homework all the time and tests or papers due every weekend. I hope this semester doesn't turn out like last semester. I am enjoying the light work load, especially with lacrosse practice in my schedule.

Lacrosse has been going well. The first game is this Saturday against Haverford College. I am very excited to start playing lacrosse games. Preseason is always pretty tough, due to conditioning and practice. When the season actually starts, the practices become much easier. It's going to be nice to know all the hard work paid off.

Tonight, I just saw the movie "Safe House". Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington starred in this movie. I thought the movie was very good. It was very action packed. The whole story line was good and kept me guessing what would happen. Hopefully, this week will continue to go well.

Snow days

Well today was a little bit of a disappointment. It snowed a whole bunch today, but it didn't stick to the roads. I was hoping we would get a decent amount of snow. The worse part about the weather was that I had practice in the snow. During my practice, it continued to snow more and more. I was pretty soaked and cold after practice. Since practice was earlier today, I got out around 6ish. Usually, we don't get out till around 8.

It was nice to get out of practice earlier. I was able to relax after for a while. I hung out with a few friends, then just watched some t.v. Then I had some homework to do. Majority of my homework came from my Eng. 224 class, which was to write a fiction piece.

This weather has been very strange. It had been oddly warm sometimes. I could walk around outside in a short sleeved shirt, and its supposedly winter. This is one of the warmest winters I have experienced. Its usually cold everyday, but some days are rather warm. I feel like past years have been so much colder. I enjoy the times during the winter season, where it snows a whole bunch. It's nice to have a few days off from school. I really enjoy catching up on my sleep and relaxing all day. Hopefully, we will get a good snow storm sometime soon.

February...

I wasn't very sure what to write about in this blog. There was a range of ideas that I could of approached, but none of them seemed to interesting to me. So I just decided to go with writing about whatever comes to mind.

I feel like this semester so far has been going by somewhat quickly. It is already February. My birthday is this month, so that is defiantly a bonus. Winter break does not feel like it was that long ago. Spring semesters seem to always go by pretty quickly for me. This could be due to the amount of activities that are going on in my life. During the day, school takes up majority of my time. Then around 4:30 I head to lacrosse practice. Practice tends to be about three hours, plus or minus. By the time I get home and showered, I have to eat dinner and start my homework. Once the homework is complete, then hang out till I go to bed. Then the cycle continues. I would say my days are fairly busy.

The fall semester seemed to go by pretty slowly. I had so much more free time after class, since I did not have a full semester of lacrosse. I would just go to class and then enjoy my free time. I didn't have to commit three hours of my day to lacrosse, but instead I had that free time to do whatever I pleased. Once games start, then the semester will really go by. Game start towards the end of February, so until then things will be a little slower.
