playoff time

is anybody else excited for nba and nhl playoffs (granted as long as the lakers and ducks stay in them)?

today when i was eating my lunch out on the quad and reading crimes against logic, i saw this girl and fella kickin the futbol around. both were wearing cleats (sorta odd) and just playin around. thing was, she was pretty damn good and schooling him more or less. you could tell that he definitely knew how to play soccer, but she was throwin down the gauntlett. i thought it was pretty cool to see her dribbling around him with such ease. then i thought, what if they were doing the exact same thing back in the day, when it was an all womens college? first of all, she probably would have been stoned by the faculty for wearing only a pair of short-shorts and a sports-bra (and wearing them well i might add). secondly, he wouldnt have even been allowed on campus most likely. its crazy how different the social scene is now compared to just 50 years ago or so. i can't even begin to imagine how different it will be 50 years from now. and how much ill be saying "i can't believe kids these days and their [insert offensive behavior]." thats right, im going to be a crotchety old man. and im going to love it. speaking of social scenes...

the weekend was pretty fun. basically began on thursday when i made my first ever expedition out to highlawn. got there too late, line was too long, went to the pub, had some drinks and fun. i definitely enjoy going out to a bar or two with good friends and some new people in the mix. its always fun to mingle and meet new cats. friday night i was hoping to make it out to the fishtank to see the frisbee boys and girls (and about 9000 other random people) and murphys kids but wasn't feelin it from the night before. instead i caught up with some good friends who just returned from europe and are leaving shortly to move to new york. i am really excited to pay them a visit sometime in the not too distant future and go back to "the city" as the ny and dirty jerz kids so affectionally call it south of the mason-dixon. after that full day of recovery, it was time yet again to hit the jmu night-life. this time by way of a coincidental invite to the swim club semiformal. started with an apartment party. progressed to a rented out highlawn (finally made it during my jmu career). i was fortunate enough to go with two(2) dates. thats right. i said two. met some rockin new people and had an absolute blast. as much as i dont enjoy swimming, swimmers can be really cool people (with select few exceptions). looking at current and former friends, i certainly see a trend. interesting.

this week is not lookin so fresh for my senioritis fix. too many group presentations and exams for my liking. although my exam week is going to be quite moderate, so i guess i can't complain too bad. the fact that i am not stressing about any of my exams or projects is an added bonus. good groups combined with staying on top of assignments will definitely decrease stress.

alright my shoulder is starting to bug me so im goign to cease typing for a couple hours.

zip it up, and zip it out!
