Busy... Really Busy...
Sorry again for not updating this blog for more than a week... almost 2 week actually.
So, it's been really busy (in a good way) for me. Classes are catching up with me now :-). So are the homeworks and assignments. And the readings too. I'm so into reading nowadays that I'm currently reading 4 books (2 are assigned, and 2 are extras) and that's not including the endless International Economics and Anthropology textbook readings.
As Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the lecture days (i have my Econ lectures on Mon and Wed, Anthro lectures on Mon, Wed and Fri), I practically spend 3-4 hours preparing for those lectures on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday night. And there's Math and Stats homework coming up. And there's Saturday football, and I want to go for Monday night Salsa, and Tuesday and Thursday table tennis... and breakfast job... and guess what, I just got a position in doing Undergraduate Research (that's another 9-12 hours work per week).
Those are my forewords... So, where and when should I begin?
Alright, last Saturday... I woke up at about 7.00am and got ready to tailgating with ESPN... it's a big match Notre Dame @ Michigan... Eff the Irish... after waking Quang up, both of us walked there at about 8am, and reached there before 8.30am (i think)
We were really early as there weren't many people there... We expected a huge crowd... but, there were like 30 students (at most). So, we started to visit booths (Dr. Pepper) where I got a free t-shirt after throwing a ball into a target..., then, to the LG booth, where I signed up for something and get a pair of thundersticks... then to ... got a few more t-shirts, then, on to the ESPN truck and took a pic with not one, but TWO hot chicks... <3...
Oh yar, I put on a "game face" too... just the Maize and Blue M on each cheek...
Alright... enough of pregame... the game sucks...it was a really sloppy game... with a lot of mistakes(fumbles, intercepts...)... a lot of reviews, and a lot of calls... and we lost the game... not because we were the weaker team, but we were playing really sloppily...
last game, i didn't take the pics of "key play" during the opponent's 3rd down...
and also the hand-waving thingy at the opponent's 4th play...
oh yar... just for your information, this is how huge a college football team is... try to count them... (WARNING: exceeds 100 players)
so, that was the sucky Saturday...
now, on to my busy-like-crazy Monday... so, the breakfast job from 7am til 10.30am(there was an unexpected number of people, causing a piled-up of dishes in the dishroom, where we helped out), then to my first lecture at 11am til 12noon... then, to my second lecture from 2-3pm, then to my interview(a faculty at the Business School as the sponsor of the research project) at 3.20pm... then, another lecture from 4 til 5.30pm... then, a meeting (the Student Actuaries at Michigan) from 6pm til 7+pm... and there was another meeting at 9pm, but i was just too tired to drag myself there...(but that's only an informational session, which I don't think I have to attend, since I'm well informed about the Detroit Project organization....)
so, last week was really a crazy week for me... Hopefully, that justifies my lack of updating of this blog...

Hey...your post is "luring" me to watch a football match, though I know nothing about football. Makes me feel that I'm missing out a lot! Well, have fun in your future games... Many more to go, right?
