To be honest I was kind of hoping Missouri would pull off the upset against Oklahoma, but Oklahoma continued to roll putting up over 60 points yet again. Don’t get me wrong I think Oklahoma is the best team in the Big 12 and probably the best team in the nation right now besides Florida. But it just doesn’t feel right to me that Oklahoma jumped Texas despite a head to head loss with them. Yea I think Oklahoma is good enough to play for a national title I just don’t feel like they deserve to go over a team that has the same record as them and beat them head to head. I really hope it is Florida vs. Oklahoma in the title game though, because that could be one of the most exciting matchups there has been in recent memory, I guess we will find out soon what is going to happen you never know with the wacky BCS.
SEC Championship Games
I had looked forward to the Florida vs. Alabama game all week long and it didn’t disapoint at least not for me as I wanted the Gators to pull of the win. I hope they make it to the National Championship Game and I believe they should in my opinion they are the best team in the country. I have liked watching Florida for years now and unless UNC suddenly starts making title runs I will continue to pull for them. The game was pretty close and wasn’t decided until late. Coach Saban has done an excellent job at Alabama and I think they will be a force in the coming years, but this year was Florida’s year. After the Ole Miss loss Tebow and company have taken over the SEC by storm.
The Last Day of Class
My last day of class I actually got to sleep late which is the only friday all year I have gotten to do that. With no weights in the morning I slept till after nine o’clock and that was a pleasant change. My classes went by fairly quickly and then the rest of the day flew by. It really seems like I just started this semester and now it is over time flew by and I know that exams and Christmas break will be gone before I know it. It has just been that kind of year it almost has gone to fast although I am very ready for the break.
Busy end
Well I put off two of my biggest projects of the year to the last few days off the semester so I was extremely busy especially wednesday, thursday, and friday. I did manage to get it all done though so that was a good thing. I always seem to thrive on getting things done last minute and while I need to break that habit it has become a trend for me. The feeling I get when I get everything done is almost worth it. I guess I just like the adreanaline that comes with knowing you have to get something done I focus on what I have to do more. That being said I hope in my future college and life experiences I break that trend.
Anniversary Dinner
Saturday night I was dragged to my Aunt Julie and Uncle Bill’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary dinner. It was a surprise party and although my uncle had found out about it earlier my aunt was very much surprised. It was a special time for them and I had fun because the food was really good, not to mention I saw a lot of family and friends. Again it is probably one of those things a lot of people wouldn’t find that fun, but I enjoyed myself and being with family is always important as I have learned especially so over the past year, because you never know when things might change.
Babysitting
Friday I had a fun day and while to some people it might not be very exciting I enjoyed it very much. Me and Ashley who I have posted on earlier went to my aunt and uncle’s to babysit their two boys. Matthew and Jake are their names and they are some of the coolest kids I have ever met. Matt is always smiling and at the end of the day my neck was sore from all the piggy-back rides I had given him. We ate pizza for lunch and decorated the Christmas tree. All in all the four of us had a very good time and I would be glad to do it again anytime. They always want to wrestle me which basically is me laying on the ground and letting them jump all over me.
Hospital Visit
Between meals on Thanksgiving I made my way to Charlotte with my dad to visit Joyce Melton in the hospital. Many people here at GWU know Joyce and my dad has often helped her out when she needed it. She was hit by a car a few weeks ago and after some blood clots she had to be taken to Charlotte for care. It was sad because she wasn’t like her normal self she couldn’t remember calling people and she was claiming that she couldn’t remember things like the date and I don’t think she even knew it was Thanksgiving. My dad was worried about her and talked to the nurses to make sure they knew this was not her normal behavior.
Turkey Day
On thursday, thanksgiving day I ate at both my grandparents. For lunch I ate at Maw Maw Jack’s who is my dad’s mom with my great-grandma and my two uncles and their families plus obviously my dad, two brothers, and Maw Maw Jack. We had basically a traditional dinner with turkey and all the fixings. Then at my mom’s mom’s house we mixed it up a little there was still great food, but instead of turkey we had ham and chicken stir fry.
