It's January 24?!

Alright guys, so I realize it has been quite some time since I last blog, but hey cut me some slack these past two months have been busy! Between finals, being home, and starting a new term my life has been anything but boring. So, what to write about, what to write about. Term II has started off decent, decent enough for a winter term where I have an 8 AM class (I do have to admit that I have already over slept, oops!). But, coming back to campus after break is like a breath of fresh air. Even though I may stress out just a tad too much and think that I'll never be able to get everything done (like keep up with this blog...) I just remember that everyone here is in the same situation, which helps me a lot.
Hmmm, oh! Last Wednesday night was a night to remember at Elmira College; we hosted our first ever Men's Volleyball Match. The game started at 7, however I have to admit that I went at 6 because the first one hundred fans to get in got a free tee shirt. If there is one thing you need to know about me - I love my free tee shirts. So, anyway, the match was against Nazareth College. We fought hard but did end up losing. But, you gotta cut the guys some kind of slack - Naz is ranked like 3rd in the nation I heard, and it's our first year. Taking that into consideration I think we did pretty good. So many fans showed up it was insane! I did have to leave early to go to Encore though - oh the pains of being a sophomore.
Alright, so this term I'm taking more of my business courses which I know I have to get through. But, I also get to take International Relations because of my International Business focus. It's actually a political science class and really interesting. It tends to be a lot of work, but for some reason I don't mind doing it. As part of the class I have to read the New York Times daily, which can be time consuming but I also realize the benefits of it. And I can find at least one article a day that I'm glad I read because it's so interesting. Then, on Monday nights we meet again for an hour and a half and have simulations. For the first two weeks we played the game Risk (our class is already broken up into teams). Not to brag or anything but my team came in first and won, just sayin'. Tonight we have a debate, which should be interesting. In fact, I have to go to that class right now! I'll write soon more, I promise.
