October brake

Last year as a freshman I was pretty excited to be going home for the first time for October brake. This year is a differnt story though. It is not lke I am not excited to be going back home for a lil but not many of my friends are going to be home and I dont feel like leaving Cortland right now. This first month went by so fast I cannot beleive that October brake is already actually a week away.
One thing that I do not like about the October brake is that they plan parents weekend to be the next week after which I think is really stupid. Whats the point of having a brake where most of the kids on campus go home and then the week after having all their parents come back up. It makes no sense. October brake should be at the end of october or at leats a few weeks away from parent weekend.

Tired

Its pretty late right now and I wish i had done my blog earlier. Usually I can think of a topic easy and let my thoughts flow but for the first time I am stuck and cannot find a good topic. When I think about topics I can usually always think of at least a sports topis but this week I am at a loss for words. The jets lost to the patriots so I do not have anything to say about that game. I am pretty upset that I have to wake up for class at 10:05 cause I hate to wake up anytime before noon. I am pretty hppy that we will be watching myth busters in class tomorrow. I homestly have nothing else I can possibly say and im leaving.

New house

I just got back from signing the lease for the house I am goin to be living in for the fall semester of next year. I cannot wait to get off campus and out of the dorms. They say when you go to college you have complete freedom but althougt you do get a lot of freedoms there are certain things that you just cant have living on campus.
One thing that always bothered me about living i the dorms was that you had to check in with an RA everytime you entered your buildng after 11:00 PM. Honestly my little brother who is in sixth grade doesnt go to bed until11:00 PM so I find no reason that I have to deal with an RA walking in after 11 on a weeknight.
Weekends on te other hand are even worse. I hate coming back after long night and having to worry about getting in trouble from an RA for an off campus activity I may or may not have participated in. At home I dont even have to see my parents all I have to do is let them no that I got home safely.
Next year when I get off campus my life will be a lot less stressfull and I will be able to completely relax and not worry about anything.

Tom Brady: GONE

This weekend probably the biggest story of the whole football season happened in the first quarter of the New England Patriots vs. the Kansas City Chiefs when last years MVP and star quarterback Tom Brady went down for the entire season with a bad knee injury. It was offically announced at 3:00 PM the day after the game. This ir probably the biggest blow to any team ever in NFL history especially after the amazing year Brady had in 2007 and the beginning of 2008.

Honestly me being a big Jet fan Im not gonna say Im not happy to see that we are not going to have to go up against Brady once the entire year but on the other hand I gotta feel a lil bad for him getting hurt in the first quarter of the first game of the season. No matter how much I really did not like him no guy deserves to get hurt.

The best thing about the whole situation is that now the Jets have the best quarterback in the AFC East and have best chance to win the division or at leazt get a wild card and hope that Brett Favre can do sme magic in te playoffs.

The year 2012

Through out the summer my friends and I had conversations about the alleged end of the world in the year 2012. The rumors about the year 2012 range from natural disasters, all the way to alien invasions. According to a friend of mine who is a big beliver in the world coming to an end in 2012 and his theory that at the end of the year 2011 strange thing on earth are supposed start occuring.

First he says that natural disasters, more devestating than ever before are going to occur all over the planet. He then claims that aliens are going to come down and at first seem like they are going to be peaceful but then eventually either kill all of us or wipe the world of all its valueble resources and just leave us to die.

When he first told me this I laughed in his face and told him that it was te most rediculous thing I have ever heard. He then went on to show me crop circles that people who are supposedly experts at deciphering have found out that these are messages warning earth about the future. Even after that I told him that it was all garbage and that it has been proven that people can make crop circles with very little technology.

Then my friend showed me something that made me think about the whole situation. It was a vido that some man manged to get of this small flying object over his field spraying something that was making the crops flatten instantly as if a person made a crop circle but with even more precision. The video made me think about the possibility of alien information or contact might happen in 2012 but as far as the end of the earth I still believe that we have many, many more years after 2012.

NFL

This Thursday is the first game of the NFL season and I can't wait. Normally I am always very excited when football season arrives but this year I am extra excited because my favorite team the New York Jets signed Brett Favre a couple of weeks ago. Brett Favre is one of the best quarterback ever to play football and should add a huge boost to the team. Another reason that I am so excited about the upcoming season is also fantasy football. I cant seem to get enough of it. I love checking my team after every game and seeing if they got me enough points to beat the team I am playing. I hope the Jets have a great season and so does my fantasy team.
