A very busy man

Sorry but I´ve been very busy this last week,

two tests, one report, one paper and one showcase.

First I had to do a discussion question in Astronomy and the question was:

Einstein´s discovery that energy and mass are equivalent has led to technological developments that are both beneficial and dangerous


Overall, do you think that we would be better or worse off if we had never discovered that mass is a form of energy?


Then I had to take an Astronomy quiz, which was kinda unfair because we were being quizzed out of 4 chapter and then quiz was made of 10 multi choice questions and 3 short answers ... I think I did alright, but not to good though ....


Then it was time for the Human Communication quiz, it was made out of 40 multi choice and roughly 10 true and false
questions. The teacher claimed that she wouldn´t trick us and she was right on in that department, however some of the questions were a little misleading, but overall I think I did pretty well... so from there I had to hand in my English composition paper on a sports event, I managed to squeeze out 500 words on that ( it was only a first draft) so I have more time to work on it.

And then we had the "showcase" for a course I´m taking called The Art of dance, and we were split in to groups of 3 and we had to create a minute long routine, and I was in group with Lea and Rebecka, and we did more of a performance ( storytelling) than dancing, we used the song "Pussy Liquor" by Rob Zombie and I think we had the best act of all. The teacher really loved it, and I´m using this course to pull up my GPA, but I´m also enjoying it because it´s a lot of fun.

Also last week I drilled up a couple of balls, an Ultra Zone, Pepsi Spare ball and today a Rapid Fire. I drilled the Ultra Zone with the pin below my ring finger with the CG a quarter inch kicked out, and the ball picks up real early and rolls good, the Pepsi spare ball looks real cool and for the Rapid Fire, we´ll find out tomorrow how good it is!

I didn´t get to bowl all that much last week, so this week i´m gonna try to get at least 12 hours

Today I bought a "32 VIZIO HDTV :)
So finally I don´t have to watch tv anymore in the common room

But anyways that´s all for now...

Later

Number 4

Yeah that´s right, number 4 out of 31 !!!

But before I tell you the story of number 4, let me take you back to Wednesday. School as usual except I dropped my World Music, and why you might ask? Well it just basically stunk ass! So instead I enrolled in a class called the Art of Dance, which is kinda exciting and the teacher is just great, funny and full of life. But then after 2 hours of bowling my journey took me to the Wal-mart super center to purchase a mini refrigerator. And after I found a good looking, fine working fridge I purchased it, however I though it would fit inside the passengers door on my Mustang, but I was wrong. So later I got Hallie to drive me in her SUV and I decided to carry the fridge from the store to her SUV and I didn´t find it to heavy, but again I was wrong, 55 pounds don´t really seem a lot of weight, however again I was wrong but I managed.

Thursday was a remarkable day : SNOWDAY!!!! well kinda.

On Wednesday evening I got an e-mail from my English Comp. teacher saying that because of terrible weather forecast class would be canceled, so because of that message and people were talking I thought that my Human Comm. class was also so I decided to sleep in, however I found out later in the day that some classes were taught, and my HC class was one of them. But it was fine cause the teacher told us if the weather would be bad that we shouldn´t have to come.

And now to the blockbuster story of 2008. 2nd and 3rd floor LASER TAG!!!

yeah you heard me LASER TAG, every month the floor CA´s get money to do something fun for the floors and this month it was LASER TAG. So when we got down there our first mission was to pick nicknames that would appear on the results, I had no doubt in choosing my name : Flonkerton ( The Office U.S. humor) and we got in to the huge dome and everybody went crazy and people were shooting right and left, I thought I did really good but as usual wrong again and I was ranked 19th. out of 32 !!! So when it came to round 2 I was certain that I´d found a good place to camp ( hang around one specific place and not move around to much) but It wasen´t so I was pretty screwed, but as I decided to just run around like crazy I came upon a spot that was just perfect, isolated yet had many angles to shoot people, so after I literally went nuts there, and when the score was posted, I was ranked 4th. out of 31 people and nobody on my floor was above me ... it was all Indian exchange students that probably are in the Indian national Laser Tag Team, so technically I was ranked nr. 1 ;) in theory

so that concludes this week´s story ...

I´m out for now... Saturday night fever ... get my groove on so LATER!!!
