More of the Same
This haas been a rather busy week of tests, working and meetings, but with all that over, I take my Thursday evening to relax and lay down some thoughts on the people. Shamenomics wrapped up our regular season as we began it, with a win. This time we defeated the SAE "Blue Balls" squad with a 26-5 second quarter onslaught to break a halftime tie and pull off a 43-22 victory. I credit Brian Shell with the play of the game without question. Following an early rejection on a drive to the basket and much heckling from the pledge class and team, Brian procded to drain a three in his defender's "eye" and stride confidently down the court with both middle fingers extended to the opposition and their lameass cheering section. Now, we hold our collective breath with a far outside chance of a playoff berth. Perhaps this one time, the universe will shift in our favor.
In other news, my brother who many of you know now calls Baghdad, Iraq his home has sent out his first correspondence to the family which helps us all breath easier for a week at least. He tells of many strange situations he has been encountered with in the desert land of the Middle East but shares his unshakable optimism for his safe return and benefits from his situation. In fact, he claims to be enrolling in grad school after being discharged to pursue the "freshman year he never had" in a "animal house-esque" fashion. I do not doubt his resolve at all on this matter.
In my news, I seem to be emerging along with the weather from the winter doldrums and I have managed not to seriously harm anyone or myself, so thats always good. The spring weather and attitude bring a welcome change, and I eagerly anticipate the nearly two weeks of relaxation awaiting me after 6 more days of class and two exams. Although I am slightly concerned about having only one class scheduled for this spring term thus far, I am optimistic that it will all work itself out and this will be a spring term for the ages. Long-term things to look forward too include the annual Destin trip for Easter break and every Furmanites' favorite....Beach Weekend! This year will undoubtedly surpass the extreme hilarity and good times had at last year's 3 day party in the sand and I am already in that state of mind. Without souring this moment, I will leave you with those hopeful thoughts for the future. Keep your heads up kids.
