Last Saturday, The Wichita State Shocker mens and womens team competed Intercollegiate Team Championship semi finals. The womens team seeded 1st so they only had to win one round, best of 7 games match, while the men seeded third and had to win two rounds, best of seven game matches, while their opponent Saginaw Valley, ranked 1st in the nation only had to win one round of best of 7 game matches. Wichita´s mens team fell behind 0-2 making bad shots and not matching the strike number of Saginaw Valley, but they managed to turn things around and win the next three games making it 3-2 in favor of the Shocks. When Saginaw won the next game, making it even 3-3 and only needing one win to knock out Wichita, the Shockers kicked it into next gear and pulled a 4-3 win and forcing Saginaw into a second best of 7 game match. After that win Wichita got the confidence to put the nail through Saginaw´s coffin and knock them out almost 4-0 but in the fourth game it came up to the 10th frame where Saginaw´s anchor Dan McLelland kept Saginaw in the race, with both teams shooting 260+ game but Saginaw with a close win making it 3-1. It did not last long for Wichita guaranteed it´s spot in the TV finals with a 4-1 win over Saginaw ( and I think it´s worth to mention that by defeating Saginaw, Wichita stopped them from winning their third consecutive National Championship).
The Wichita womens team breezed through their semi final with a 4-0 victory over Morehead State University, as the number 1 seed they only had to win one round of best of 7 game match. The women were looking at facing Pikeville college in the TV finals.
The mens finals was up first and I was sitting in the stands besides the lane cheering on the team. Their opponent in the final was the University of Nebraska Las Vegas (UNLV) and I knew from the moment Wichita beat Saginaw that they would be victorious, and it proved to be right. The Wichita State shockers beat UNLV 202-171 and 203-169 quite easily on their way to win their 8th National Championship in school history, which made 16 overall National Championships including the womens 8 titles which could have been nine after their final.
The womens team had breezed through the sectionals, qualifying in the Nationals, matchplay and the semifinals, but when it came came to the actual finals everything just fell to pieces, a foul in the 8th frame following a spare, lost the game for Wichita. Giving Pikeville the first game, the shocker girls needed to pull out the big guns; however, some bad decisions cost them a national title, Pikeville won 184-171, 183-158 and stopped the Wichita womens victory stride.
I give my congratulations to the Shocker men.
for now that´s all.

The Scandinavian Society
First of all, my apologies for being lazy and preoccupied, and not making the time to blog, I know a "lot" of people who read this were disappointed.
The other day I received an e-mail from an anthropology professor from Wichita State University, and in that e-mail was an invitation to a dinner in a Scandinavian Society here in Wichita. At first I was really exciting, with the picture in my head that I would be meeting young Scandinavian people that had residency in Wichita. When the event took place, Peer the anthropology professor picked me up and he´s Danish so the little Danish I still know had no use at all since he´s been in the states the past 30 years but I managed to show off a little bit. We got to the assembly early because Peer needed to attend a meeting before everything started, this "dinner" took place at a church common room, which was really nice; however, when I walked in to the church I had a major shock, the average age of the people inside was in the late 70´s!!! Peer introduced me to some people and left for the meeting, fortunately all the people was really nice and they had a lot of questions about Iceland, most of the people was 2nd and 3rd generation Scandinavian, with a couple of exception. Let´s just say everyone under the age of 55 was 1st generation, I was seated with the people that I was introduced in the beginning, which was quite alright because it was actually fun, they kept shooting questions at me and we exchanged stories and I learned a lot from those people. When Peer told me about this "dinner" he mentioned that I would have to tell people something about Iceland but little did I know that I would have to step up to a podium and give a speech into a microphone, I started off by talking about myself and my family, then just gave them some facts about Iceland then when I ran out of things to say, I said what every great speaker says when he´s out of words:"Any Questions?" From there on people shot right and left and my "speech" wound up being about 15-20 minutes, and I´m pretty sure I made at least one fact up, that´s what nerves do to you. After I gave my "speech," the youngest girl in the room at the age of 24, Helena which is from Sverige talked a little bit and then Jon spoke, he also is from Sverige and in his 20´s so I was not the only one born after 1975. Like I said about the age average of this "Society" when it came to the "dinner" that the members had made, it was of course the kind of food the mostly elderly people eat so let´s just say that I did n´t eat very much. A couple of things that were kind of new to me but before everything started we stood up and saluted the flag and joined together in prayer, which I felt strange doing but as an American this their bread and butter. After the event had finished people came up to me and thanked me for coming and sharing my thoughts and experience and even a couple of them came up to me and told me that I just have meet their granddaughter, which is fine with me if they are cute, but blind dating not really something I´m keen on, but in the words of Andréa: You should go on blind dates just for the fun story out of it. Also because I´ve been single for a couple of months it couldn´t hurt.
This weekend is going to be pretty sweet! My roommate is out for the weekend and I don´t have any homework so I can begin a couple of my final projects and relax and hit the gym.

Illinois, ITC Sectional Qualifiers, PBA Regional and spring break
Last Thursday I had my final midterm and then headed straight for St. Louis, Illinois. People say it´s a seven hour drive but I made it in 6 hours 45 minutes including a real long stop at the slowest gas pump in history, let´s just say I could count faster than the machine pumped. When I had driven about half way it started pouring and driving 80 mp/h but I finally made it just after 10 p.m. and went straight to bed, which seemed like a good idea at the time but after the 8 o´clock wakeup call, my back was locked. I could not twist my back at all, which was really bad news, cause I had to play in two hours. When I got to St. Clairs bowling center I found out that we were playing the Kegel "Boardwalk" oil pattern which is 35 fet with big volume of oil, and I went to the event with the idea in my head that we would be playing at least on a 40 ft. pattern, so in the first four games I could only use my total inferno until the 5th game the lanes were open enough to play 25-4. With my back so locked I couldn´t really open up and playing the gutter is hard, over these six games I had about 11 gutterballs and a lot of trouble with right hand spares and ended shooting 180 under. Scores were pretty high, the cut for top 4 was 1334 and Wichita had 1st and 4th spots so at least 2 men shockers will be representing.
I placed 99th which is not very good but considering the circumstances I´m okay with it. Good experience goes a long way. The following day I had a PBA Regional tournament, and I´m the first Icelander to partake in such tournament, which is kinda exciting. The tournament was held at a army air force base, and getting clearance for the weekend was a lot of waiting. Once I got the pass I was able get into the base and to the bowling center and check inn. Playing in a PBA tournament has a lot of requirements, such as a approved shirt with your name on it and only pba approved equipment and a PBA patch on your right hand shoulder. Once the practice began before the squad started my back really hurt but I was able to loosen it up but still was pretty bad. The pattern we played was the Viper, 37ft and your suppose to be able to play it from many angles but I had to open up the lane to play a lot of angle, I was fortunate to be playing with a very nice fellow called Jeffrey Gentry Jr. and playing with him was a blast, and he´s thinking about coming to Iceland so you could say that I managed to network. I started real bad with a 141 and after 4 games I had 642 ( which is really bad) however game 5 I had a 230 ( which dould have been a 240 but had a ringing 10 pin in the 10th and in game 7 I had a 240 ( which should have been a 250 if it weren´t for a stone 9 pin. I finished the round -100 which is all right, considering it was my first pba tournament and due to my back problem!
After the tournament I went back to St. Clair's bowl to watch the team event and it was really cool actually seeing it. However, I didn´t stay there for long cause I wanted to head home before dark. The drive home went real smooth cause over half the way and all the way to Kansas City ( which is not in the state of Kansas) I was driving along side of a black Camaro and we were driving together very synchronized and it was fun, both time and miles just went flying by and I made the drive in record time without exceeding the speed limit to much. The important thing is I got "home" safe and sound.
Returning "home" was a treat as this week is spring break or as known Easter break so a lot of sleeping and relaxing; however, the cafeteria is closed so I´ve been living on cereal and campbell´s soup with a couple of exceptions including Hooters, Chili´s and McDonald's and I have stay on that "great" diet until Monday when the cafeteria reopens.
I think I´m not gonna keep this any longer, finally got my microphone working so I´m able to talk to family and friends online...
That´s all folks

Midterms
This week is going to be one of the most boring weeks of this semester because it´s already half way through the semester which means only one thing Midterm Exams
Before I go better into that, being a college student in a foreign country with limited funds, you´re living on a budget and you try to save as much as you can,
That brings me to the other day when I only had $40 on me and I needed a haircut, and when I had to use 20 of those dollars and had only 20 left for a haircut, and the only place you can get a haircut for less than 20 dollar is SUPERCUTS :S
So I had to swallow my pride and walk into Supercuts where I got a haircut for $12.99 ! Although I have to say it didn´t look bad but you get what your paying for, bad service, probably internet certified stylists that dropped out of dental school and after they cut your hair, they don´t even blow all the loose hair of your head and really is 12 dollars worth!!!
Back to the midterms, tomorrow I have an exam in human communication, it shouldn´t be to hard but I got a -B on my first exam so I´m trying to improve that. Then on Wednesday I´ve got two exams, the first exam of the day will be Public Speaking, probably not hard but I have to cover a lot of material- then the second exam is in the Art of Dance, now that exam will be real easy cause the teacher told us what´s gonna be on it, it can´t fail!
It ends on Thursday with an Astronomy test which is gonna be tough, I´m gonna go to the SI session the day before, so I can pull my sad 2,4 GPA up.
After the test on Thursday I´ll be heading down ( or more like up) to St.Louis Illinois, to play the Intercollegiate Singles Sectional Qualifiers, basically 7 hour drive to play 6 games. I decided to stay the weekend ( or at least through Saturday ) and play a PBA Regional tournament, which is a tough tournament, and it depends on weather I qualify if I stay until Sunday but starting on Friday SPRINGBREAK!!! which means a lot of sleeping, napping and maybe dose of a little bit.
Until next time

At the Gay bar!!!
Like Electric Six sang about in their song, titled Gay bar!!!
Last Saturday I got a call from Izi and he tells me he´s going out with some friends, to this club called Fantasies, little did I know that it was a gay bar. The reason we we´re going there is that the age limit is only 18 to enter, so we we´re just going to have some fun, Izi and his friend Marco picked me up and then we were off, when we got there things didn´t look to good but once we met Izi´s friends it was much better, because three straight guy´s going in to a gay bar, doesn´t really look good, from a straight perspective. To make a long story short, a couple of guy´s groped my rear in the wrong way ( not that there´s a right way to grope someone´s ass) but not a pleasant experience and just let´s say that I´m not going there again.
This week was busy for me, a couple of papers, and a lot of bowling. I´ve been working very hard on my spares and it´s really starting to show, also been working on my timing... it´s not rogressing as good as my spares; however, it´s in the right direction
Couple of good grades this week, two -B in Astronomy and Human Communication, so I´m starting quite good, although next week I´ve got 2 exams so that´s gonna be a pain. I´m just gonna study hard and improve those grades...
I managed to register for the Inter Collegiate Singles Championship Sectional Qualifiers, the tournament is in St. Louis, which means a 7 hour drive, I´m gonna miss a day of school ( which is the last day of school before spring break, so it doesn´t really matter). The drive´s gonna be really boring and also visiting a state I´ve never been in, so also exciting. It´s also my first tournament representing Wichita State University, so I´m gonna bring it, watch out Fairview Heights, IL.
Well that´s it for now,,,
Until next time,
Good Night and Good Luck

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

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

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!!!

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!!!
