Sittin at the airport....

So I'm just sitting here at the airport.......wondering if my flight will ever get going......I'm on my way to my mom's house; can't wait!!! Haven't seen that side of my family since summer.....I'm actually really excited!!! But unfortunately last night was a rough night.....I had to get some stuff off my chest cuz I can only take so much......oh well.....I think all is good right now but we'll see in a couple of months.........If everything goes as planned, I might be the happiest guy in the world.......More coming soon =)

A little taste of C++

So today I saw one of my roommates working on their computer science lab and it looked very interesting. So tonight I had some free time so I decided to read one of their textbooks. I almost got through the first chapter tonight and learned how to write strings and how to use the input-output method. It's pretty interesting stuff and I hope to read and learn some more!

Been Busy

So this week I had a total of four tests; two on Monday, one on wed (on my bday!!!!!!) and one later today. I get to see what I got on my calculus test today which I studied forever for......unfortunately hurt me on my other test that day =( oh well.....there's some extra credit for me to do so I'm all good. Anyways.....I plan to do nothing this weekend except visit with family who in town so don't bother me......I need to recuperate from this week.......I really haven't seen the outside of my dorm room unless I was going to take the test. Oh and last weekend my family came up to celebrate my 18th birthday which was nice. Got some cool stuff and we even went to Gamestop to get some new games. Now I'm addicted to Fable and have been playing that every night to wind down after studying for all these stupid tests.........Also I got the newest game to the Tales Series.......It's pretty cool and I'm sure I'll put in plenty of hours this weekend!

1 am

So its one in the morning and I thought that I'd share whats on my mind with you. First, I realized that the new Animal Crossing game for the Wii comes out in like a month. I can't wait because for some reason I've been a huge fan of that game and its super addicting........Next is that registration for next semester's classes is now.... So I worked out my schedule and it looks like i'll be taking pretty much the same classes except for Bio and maybe a new psychology class. The schedule is: Math 182, Chem 201, Biol 190, Eng 102, and Psy ???....................Lastly is that my Bday is less than a week away now......   =)  that should be nice......and I think thats pretty much it..............oh and my roommates have found a great interest in my new xbox game and have logged im sure more than 24 hours on it already.......................yea.............and I need my other writer to blog a little more.....hehe thats u AMY!!!!

When the grass isn't green.....

So this last weekend, I was part of the refereeing crew for the Fall Sagebrush Tournament. No different than any other tournament I'd done before............except that when I walked out onto the field, it was completely white. The previous night it had showed which made the whole weekend way too cold.........My cleats and socks were completely soaked by my second game which made it very hard to concentrate........But thankfully by mid-day, all the snow had melted, so it was only cold, not wet. Sunday I was chosen to referee a championship game of U-12 Boys and it was a great game. Unfortunately, I had the wrong interpretation of the rules and disallowed a goal when it should have been counted..........I even asked my AR to make sure that the PK did not count and the AR agreed. It turned out after discussion with all the other refs, we were all under the same impression that I was. It was not until a more experienced ref came that he was able to clarify the rule and make that correction. The team that was affected by my decision could do nothing as the game was over.......and for that I apologize..........But everyone makes mistakes and now I know that I'll never make that call again.

Well i guess this didnt go the way I expected it too...... (Part 3)

Ha......so the game I refereed on Tuesday was not want I was expecting at all.........I was actually pumped to ref this game cuz it was suppose to be a great game.....which it was.....but apparently I wasn't ready for it at all. These two U-14 G teams were the most competitive, rough teams that I had every reffed.......Not until after did I get the complete story about the rivalry between the two....... I let the game get out of hand because I "let them play" but when I talked to them, they said it was fine. But I needed to have better mechanics and get control of the game......There was a lot of shoving and reckless play but most of it didn't affect the play substancialy.........A couple of play could have gone either way but since I was letting things go, I decided to not call them........Thankfully the game came to an end because it began to escalate very quickly at the end..........It was a good humbling event so that I could realize that I need my A+ game everytime I step onto the field....the players deserve it..........Hopefully I'll be able to take this into the tournament this weekend!

Anticipating tomorrow.........

So the Referee coordinator specifically ask for me to ref a center on a very competitive game tomorrow...... So I know that I'm being recognized as somewhat a good ref..... For me this is great news because as I have heard, in the spring there are U-16 and U-18 games which I need to be prepared for. I'm excited for the opportunities that I'm getting and the experience I've obtain..........we'll see how tomorrow goes.......

Well i guess this didnt go the way I expected it too...... (Part 2)

So today I realized for the first time that I experienced a class that I might have to ACTUALLY Study for.......Usually I'm able to pick up all the info that I need from HW and from class......but now I know that this is the only mistake I get......I can't afford another one......not gonna chance it.......not if med school is on the line.....Never......So I just gotta get this off me and get on with the 100% on the next one!!!!!!

Well i guess this didnt go the way I expected it too......

So I'm guessing that since my last entry was sometime in July that I didnt stick to my goal. Well, no harm, no foul.......So let me update you on my life....... Well I'm now in Reno living in the dorm and going to school. I pretty much clicked with all my suitemates........they're all awesome guys and tight to hang with......My roommate Brendon is cool......he's a computer enginnering major so he knows all the technogolical stuff that I don't.......pretty useful right? As for my suitemates, there Erick and Daniel, Scott and Andrew, Kalena and Wes. I hang with Erick and Scott most of the time.......we already got plans to get a house next year and Erick is going to bring his car up next semester.

In my life, classes are pretty easy........nutrition, psychology, and english are really easy.......while calculus is my hardest class.......we had an exam last Friday and I'm thinkin a B on it =( but on my Chem exam I got a 97 so I still got it in the sciences! On the weekends, I have been refereeing and its been very lucrative for me.....I usually pick up a game on fri and 5 on sat.....So I'm pretty much dead on Sun.......and thats pretty much it....................I'm done

A way to save some Gas...........

So I'll been wondering how cool it would be to ride a motorcycle but I thought I would never get to. Whenever I was shown prices of bikes they were of harley davisons and were very expensive. Only after I decided that I actually wanted to get one, I looked at the new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. The MSRP for these brand new bike are only $3,500! I couldn't believe it........ thats actually very reasonable! So I decided that if I could save $1,000 this year at school, that would be a large enough amount as a down payment to get a good deal. So in the summer of '09 I hope to take my motorcycle permit test so I can begin to learn how to ride one. Fortunately for me, my gf also has a side of her with this amount of crazy so she will be my partner in crime! Wish me luck!!!!!!


I can't decide what color I like........ I'm thinking the blue...........
