End of Semester
Well, the year is just about half over and its been interesting.
I started the year off by getting to school early for Orientation Assistant. That was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of freshman, and have made long-term friendships with a lot of those.
Then came the start of classes. I had a great schedule filled with fun and interesting teachers.
Then came the start of basketball. Basketball has been great, except the fact that we have lost three straight, but I have a good feeling about Saturday against Eckerd. I have a personal rivalry against Eckerd, becuase my brother went there and before I visited the Lynn campus, I was pretty sure I was going to Eckerd.
This past weekend I was in Valdosta, Georgia for basketball and it reminded me of Arkansas. The leaves were the orange, yellow, and brown you see in the fall and everybody was so nice. The only downside was we lost both games.
On the day after Thanksgiving, Arkansas beat LSU in football. I was so happy, since this was the first time since 1961, I think, that Arkansas has beat a Number 1 team in the nation. Then on the following Monday, Houston Nutt resigned as coach and signed onto coach at Ole Miss, who is a divisional rival. This infuriated me. The main rumor flying around Arkansas is that Lane Kiffin, the Oakland Raiders coach, might come to Arkansas and the old Ole Miss coach would come with him, which would be great, because he is known as a great recruiting, helping recruit such players as Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Carson Palmer, and Mike Williams.
Now, its time to study for finals and work until the 22nd when I’ll go home for 4 days, then come back for more basketball.
