Um... Study.

Well, i spent my first weekend here at the Colorado School of Mines. It consisted of getting into a freezing creek at 10 at night, watching some movies, just hanging out, and field day with the sororities. There was also a Mines football game thrown in there and unfortunately they lost. But what can you expect? We are an engineering school filled with nerds and not to many (if any) "dumb jocks" that you would expect to find on a football team. These boys are here for school so who cares if they can't play football. Also the stadium is about the same size as the Skyline stadium if not smaller. Although a new one is built but no seating is yet available, so maybe that one will be bigger but it is highly unlikely. You see, not many nerds play football, they play video games. So I bet a video game competition would be more popular than a stupid football game on this campus.
My Sunday consisted of me sleeping in and doing pretty much nothing but homework. I had a bit of a rough morning (my parents can verify that) and to make myself feel better i went to the rec center where i rode the bike and worked out on the elliptical for over an hour. Now i havent worked out in quite a while so that was pretty amazing if i dont say so myself. Next I came back to do some homework and that basically was the rest of my day. So as you can see life in Colorado is pretty exciting. It basically can be summed up to this... First you go to class. Second you do homework. Third you sleep. REPEAT steps until the weekend. Friday you hang out. Saturday you hang out maybe some studying depending on how much you procrastinated during the week. Sunday- study, study, food, study, and study. Mind you- occasional showers are thrown in there as well as meals. And if you are me, you try to skype people Sunday night just to find out that Skype is causing your computer to break down and fail. So, overall, it was a great first weekend. :)

    You shouldn't be talking too much about the boys right now; remember why you are in college. (Just teasing)

  5. Oh yea, on your remarks about climbing the hill and white washing the "M", Pa was singing that stupid song the whole time. You would have thought he had forgotten the words after 50 years.
