Wow, what a weekend. Friday there were a whole bunch of alumni around the new dorm, giving away pizza and stuff. The Domino’s around the corner is superb…while the Papa John’s is like cardboard. Later, we went out to the Greene to see 30 Days of Night. The Greene is a really nice outdoor shopping mall about 20 minutes away with a really nice theatre. 30 Days of Night is this new vampire movie…and it’s absolutely terrible. Oh well though, it was no biggie, I did find out that the theatre is another place I can add to my list of places to go with discounts for being a Witt student.

Saturday was…interesting. After a busy day at work, I ran over to the big Homecoming football game. When looking for my friends to sit down, WesBanco, which is a local bank, flagged me down and had me sign up for a free raffle. Why not, right? After the first quarter my name was called. Unbelievable. At halftime I got to go in the cash machine and won $26, which is $26 I didn’t come there with. Later I met some friends and coworkers at Applebee’s and then I stayed in that night after the Tribe lost, I couldn’t handle it.

I don’t even know where to start for Sunday…I spent 5 hours in the library studying for my math and philosophy exams that I had the next day, poor planning on my part, I know. I watched the Tribe play…which I don’t want to talk about…but then pulled an all-nighter for the exams. Note to all: never, ever, mix NoDoz and Monster. One or the other…never both. I did feel really good about both my exams after taking them, but now that I said that I know it’s going to be worse than I hope. I also got another exam back, which I got an A on after the curve from a B+, which is another good thing.

So overall, good weekend. Well, the Indian’s loss overruled that into terrible. Oh well, there’s always next year, I am from Believeland.

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I am a freshman tiger here at Witt, living in the New Dorm, I grew up about 20 minutes west of Cleveland going to a private prep school called Lake Ridge Academy, and I am an avid gamer.

So this last weekend was fall break, which means 4 days of intellectual freedom.  It was a nice chance to get back home.  I stopped in at my old friend’s surprise b-day party as soon as I got in.  I felt so old and out of place being the only college kid amongst a bunch of high schoolers.  I think I got asked “how’s college?” by every single person there, to which I responded “I love it.”  I don’t think it was ’til I went into the school on Monday that I realized how much better college is.  Sure the work load is more, but you have so much more time to do it.  The freedom is nasty insane too.  But enough about that.  Importantly, I got the free load of laundry done and a good chunk of time to truly enjoy Xbox Live.  Unfortunately now though, I procrastinated all my math homework.  So, I guess I’ll come back to this later…
