I hope to have a mass email sent out this week to let people know a bit more about what I've been doing. I'll try to cut down on the rants because that's what this place is more about, but you know they'll be included.
I only have about two more weeks of Marching Band, which means my schedule is about to clear up (for a month at least). The first Women's Basketball game was today, however, so I'll be gearing up for the march toward March.
After the overtime loss to Colorado this weekend, I won't be the only Mizzou student shifting gears. MU Football: The Real Reason Why We Are Building a New Basketball Arena (no offense to Coaches Snyder, Stein or Pinkel intended).
Anyway, the Women's Pep Band, Three-Point Play, is cooler than Marching Mizzou because not only do to get to play indoors for shorter periods, but you get more personal "interaction" with the players.
I had been a bit bummed by the fact I had to miss chuch because of the early starting time of the game, but I did get to see the Lady Tigers crush the Vikings: a, I'm not kidding, traveling team from Sweden (there they're Defending National Champions). I'm not sure they understand English enough to comprehend many of the slams that came from stands, but I know they didn't appreciate it when the band barked at them when they came to the free throw line.
It seems the sarcasm translates well even when the message doesn't.
Final score 86 to 46. By the looks of things, it's going to be a fun season.
Next up: Truman University at 7 p.m. on Friday. It's their opening game. Sorry, Sis.
In other news...there isn't much else. Homework is everpresent, deadlines are constant, and work keeps funding my seemingly unsasisfiable thirst for DVDs (I'm serious thinking of joining the Columbia House DVD club, but it would interfere with my No-More-Major-Purchases-Or-Bank-Withdrawals-Till-Thanksgiving-Pledge. Right now, that's two weeks away...and boy is my wallet thin).
Still, I'm getting by, and as long as I can read about 300 pages tonight I'll stay on schedule.
Heh, heh, heh.
I can't even type that with a straight face. Oh well...
Best lines of the day: "It's time to Carpe some Diems!" which was promptly followed by "I pity whoever becomes your Sancho Panza."
It's nice to know the classes I go to MU for are making me more culter-ized (or is that intelligenter?).
All this and tuitition is still expected to go up next year. I'm so thankful for the inclusion of capitalism in the American education system.
Pardon me while I hum the alma matter as I pass along the "donation" can (If you view the increase as "blackmail" [which is someting you're not required to pay but pay anyway to avoid unpleasant results] it is still a "donation".
After all, we have a arena to pay for!
