Halo, Risk and Basketball

This last week was a good one. On Wednesday, I went up to Salem and played some basketball. It was probably the best I've played ever! We started at nine and left at midnight, so putting in three hours of basketball makes for a pretty good day for me. Then on Friday, my buddy Taylor brought himself over to my house at seven. With him was the new game HALO REACH! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Him and me were playing then Gavin and Trevor came over. We were there till twelve thirty and that's when we started feeling like...people who stay up all night playing video games and decided to stop playing. I expect we will play again some night this week. Finally, Saturday night, what started as a friendly game of soccer ended in a huge fight for global conquest. We, Gavin, Seth, Sage, Collin, Max, Garret, Braden and I, went to the high school to play soccer for a while. We forgot that you can't really play soccer when the sun goes down. So once it was dark we went back to my house. Previously in the night we had my dad record the Oregon Boise state game. The best part of that game was watching Rodgers after he got his concussion. We finished watching that at 10 and then started a game of Risk. It started out somewhat fare, it was only Seth, Braden, Trevor, Gavin and I playing. Braden and Trevor had never played before, so we helped them out. The game looked pretty easy to win, but 2 hours later, Seth and I were defending our home fronts while the people we taught how to play, Braden and Trevor, teamed up and formed a super power. An hour later, around one in the morning, Trevor's mom called and said he needed to go home. Seth and I had teamed up and had destroyed Braden, weakening our forces. Trever still held North America, minus Greenland, and he could turn in next turn. We took a picture of the playing field and our cards and plan on resuming the game at a later time.

College...

College...Is certainly a different experience. I didn't know what to think of it at first. It is nothing like high school...I don't know anyone, I can't talk any of the teachers into a few points, and I don't know ANYONE. Yes, I pass some people in the hall I can say high to every now and then, but other then that. Despite all of this, I love college. It's good. I havn't had that much homework and when I do have to write a paper it's only 1 or 2 pages. What they do have in college that is like high school is double space papers thank goodness!!!
