You may ask while I’m still up…well, there’s an easy answer to that: Web DSS homework. It’s some of the most ridiculous homework ever; we’re going through the material so fast that I’m not fully understanding what we’re doing. So with this homework, I just have to try to figure it out by trial-and-error, which is no fun, let me tell you that. Anyway, I just took a shower and am taking a short break before going back to work.
I can’t wait for this weekend, I can tell you that – this week has been so crazy with homework and project work and lab work…I’ve gotten little sleep, yet I’m still going. This weekend will be just as busy with studying(for two exams next week) and homework…but just to have one Friday night to relax will be most beneficial to my health.
Before I go off and do(i.e. attempt) more homework, I have to talk a little about our football game tonight…tonight was our flag football intramural playoff game! This has been a really weird season, because we were supposed to have four games, yet 3 of them were canceled due to rain, so we only got to play one other game, sadly. And strangely enough, our playoff game tonight was against the one other team we played(who beat us 10-9 in a hard-fought game). Anyway, this morning dawned bright and clear, around sixty degrees..perfect football weather!! After a lot of classes and project work(and a sweet lunch with Ryan), we finally started our football game at 7pm.
Anyway, it was such a defensive struggle…Neither of us could really move the ball the whole game. I made a few awesome plays, though. Near the end of the game, the other team threw it deep and their receiver caught it, running for the end zone with no one to stop him…I came across the field and dived, grabbing his flag about ten yards short of the endzone(very surprising to me, since I’m not that fast!) And on that same drive(I think 2nd down), they threw the ball, one of my teammates tipped it, and I dived for it, grabbing it with outstretched arms before falling to the ground. Such an awesome interception!! And now you’re probably thinking, “Wow, James is really bragging it up…what a arrogant guy…” Don’t worry, my ego will be brought low in a few minutes…after that interception, the game ended with the score 0-0(crazy!) Overtime started and they got the ball on our 10 and scored on 4th down. Oh well. We went in on offense, and on 2nd or 3rd down, after snapping the ball I rolled out to the right, WIDE OPEN. Lauren(our QB) threw the ball up to me…the ball was in the air for so long, that I had time to think, “Wow, this is the game-winning touchdown right here…” Yep, I let me mind wander(the ball was hanging in the air for at least 5 seconds!) and I lost the ball in the field lights….and it missed my hands, hitting my chest! So, yes, I dropped the game-winning touchdown. Happy now? We almost scored after that, but Lauren was a yard short of the endzone. So we lost. But what a game!
Ok, I bet a lot of you didn’t really care to read about all that football, but I wanted to write it. And it was a good break from DSS homework. Good night all(hope the rest of you are in bed, where I wish I could be!)
