Only reason I’m really updating is to put up the below survey I just finished…took me about 6 hours of yesterday and I still didn’t finish it, mainly just because I kept leaving the computer to do something else and forgetting about it. So in reality it only took about 30 minutes to an hour. That’s still a long time though. Anyway, might as well make this a proper update…last few days have been pretty good…2005 has started out right. 🙂
On Saturday, I mainly just watched football – there were some great games, and all the teams I wanted to win, won…Iowa beat LSU(national champions last year) in the last play of the game. And Texas beat Michigan with a last second field goal. Awesomeness. I don’t really care about the championship game, though…USC, Oklahoma. Meh.
In other(non-football) news, I’ve…hm. Can’t think of anything not to do with football. 😛 Yesterday my family had a football game – even though I’m better than everyone else(hey, I’m not bragging), it was great fun. And my Redsksins won their last game!! rejoices They beat the Vikings, who only had to win to make the playoffs…they still made it, but the Redskins sent them to Lambeau Field to play the Packers. Haha.
Really, no more football now. Last night, family friends came over to have a Christmas celebration(they were in Chicago over Christmas) and I had a great time. We exchanged gifts and I got a Return of the Jedi soundtrack! I was so happy! Great music.
Tomorrow is school. This makes me very sad…I’ve had such an awesome winter break, and now school returns. Oh, well. One more semester. And…this is 2005. This is OUR year!!
