7. Blog Time Yet Again

I am writing blog from Mckee dorm on MSU campus. It has been a pretty good weekend and although i am not ready to enter into a new week of class and homework i am satisfied with how this weekend went. I started off the weekend at MC for follies which i found quite enjoyable the hosts did an awesome job in my opinion and i really enjoyed the civitian skit and dance, which i had a few friends participate in. The other skits and dances were good as well. Saturday morning i had practice at 9 then around 12 i headed up to MSU with a friends from Millsaps and made it up in time for tailgating in the junction. The game was fairly enjoyable although it was a bit cold and i just so happened not to bring a jacket or hoodie to the game. After the game we went to the student union and ate then off to the fraternities where we saw project pat and a few other bands. So all in all a good weekend. I do wish that MC had more to do on its campus although this weekend there was a fair amount to do. Also basketball is starting to take up alot of my free time which is somewhat of a good thing. My days seem to go by quicker now that basketball has started up. I am about to start the drive back to Clinton now and start on my rough draft for Dr.Miller's class due tomorrow at 1.

6. Sunday Afternoon=Blog Time

Yet again its Sunday afternoon and an hour until my blog is due so i suppose its time to get started. For the most part i would have to say that this past week was pretty good. It was a 3 day week which is always amazing. Also basketball started this week and thus far practice has been a blast. It is hard however to transition back into the roll of a lowly freshman after running the show last year in high school and being one of the go to guys. Going from starting every game to not being sure weather or not i will make the travel squad and dress out. But i suppose thats just how things go. Its nothing but motivation to work harder and give a little more. The one thing that is nice about being a freshman is that not much is expected of you. Which means anything you do is seen as a plus. I sometimes wonder if i should have gone to a juco instead, but as of now i am here and i might as well just make the best of it and see where i am at next year. On top of the basketball situation the MC campus is just plain boring. Weekends are ridiculously bland and i seem to always want to be somewhere else. Thus far i have spent weekends at MSU USM USA and Spring Hill and one weekend at home while only spending two weekends on campus. I have to say that i loathe staying on campus on the weekends and every chance i get to spend my weekends somewhere else i will.

So this is the sixth blog and i have to admit i am pretty tired of using my Sunday afternoons rushing to write something. I really dont have much to say and tying what i do have to say in with the mission statement is near impossible. I will be quite happy when i dont have to write these anymore. When i can spend my Sunday afternoons watching football games and taking naps.

5. My Weekend on Campus

I have been told that i am in the bottom half of those writing blogs and that my posts are too short and that i do not comment on other peoples blogs. Therefore i suppose it is time to step up my game when it comes to doing these blogs otherwise my grade will suffer.

This weekend my sister's volleyball team came up to MC to play for the state championship so even though it is fall break i ended up staying on campus. My best friend who plays d1 basketball came to see me this weekend, which is pretty amazing since he is so busy with basketball practicing 4 times a day. Also my family from Long Beach came up to see my sister play so i got to show them the campus and spend a lot of time with them. On top of all this my sister played very well and they won south state although they did end up losing a very close game to south haven.

All in all it was a great weekend that I really enjoyed even though the campus was pretty much completely dead. As well as having a great weekend i now have two more days of nothing to do so i suppose i ll be going home, and writing my response paper(thank you Dr.Miller). I hope this post is long enough to reach the requirements and i suppose i ll go and post some comments on other peoples pages now and try to enjoy the rest of my fall break before i have to come back to this mundane existence known as college life.

First Weekend Home

Well I am about to head back to MC from my first weekend back home and its strange but i am somewhat anxious to get back. Home doesnt quite seem like home anymore. Strangely enough i miss my bed in the dorm and the freedom to do whatever i want whenever i want. It was nice to come home and see family and friends but this weekend concreted the fact that things are just different.

Also this weekend i went to visit my brother at Spring Hill and went to bay fest on saturday. I had a great time seeing Puddle of Mudd, Kid Rock, Candlebox, and BuckCherry. I also enjoyed getting to spend sometime with my brother since we dont see each other very often.

All in all i would have to say it was a pretty good weekend and i am ready to get this week of school over with so i can relax and waste my life away on fall break next weekend.
