Hello all. I hope everyone's 2009 is off to a good start. Or, as my micro professor said, hopefully it will be better after the 20th. My New Year was pretty good. Ross and Joe came over and we watched a mixture of Dick Clark's, Carson Daily's, and MTV's New Year's Eve specials. Just a question, what do the backup girls in the Pussycat Dolls actually do? I guess I had never seen them preform before, but they didn't even sing. The boys only made it to 1:30, so I called them duds. At work on Monday though I found out that no one from work even made it to midnight, so maybe they weren't such duds after all. The Rose Bowl was god of course. I actually thought that the game this year would actually be good. I mean, the final score was close, but it was really over by the first half. Which leads me to the title of this blog. Mays, Gable, and Pinkard have already stated that they are coming back next year, which is great. But I just read an msnbc report that Sanchez will announce tomorrow that he isn't. I just sat there and thought, "Really?!?" I called my mom and she had the same reaction. Next year the Rose Bowl will be for the championship. Is he really going to give up the chance not only for the Heisman, but for the home town boy to lead the home town team to the championship game. To have his number retired and possibly do something that Leinart wasn't able to do. I hope the report is wrong because the same commentators thought Maualuga and Cushing would forgo their senior years. There's no way he could really give that chance up. All he has is a Rose Bowl win under his belt. There is just so much more he could do next year, I really do hope that he does come back. Also, now both our offensive cordinator and defensive cordinator are going to Washington. I mean, Nick Holt is going to be the highest paid assistant coach in the country, but does everything have to be about money? Jason and I were both saying that we would rather stay at a team with great players and a great record than go to an 0-12 team just to double our paychecks. Man, I next year might be rough since we are already loosing all of the linebackers, both the cordinators, and now maybe even a quarterback.
School ok, it's been ok being back. My favorite was when my mom dropped me off on Sunday and there was this group of guys carrying all this luggage. They were wandering around the parking lot looking completely lost. My mom was like, "Too much New Year's partying?" We just sat there and like 5 mins later they finally found their car and drove off. It was like a real life "dude, where's my car?" moment. Classes ok, but both my micro and physio professors have warned that they teach very "intense" courses. The micro lab is 6 hours a week, and we still have to come in during TA office hours because the 6 hours isn't enough time. But, I did get to buy a lab coat for my micro lab. It was exciting because it's my first lab coat, and I'm getting closer to actually having one for my career. My back tire on my bike blew out today, so I was late to my micro lab because I only gave myself enough time to get there by bike, not by walking. Man, walking is so hard. My feet are so sore right now because I had class from 9 to 5:30, and I was running around all day to different ends of the campus. I did get an hour break though because my physio professor had a family medical crisis and cancelled class for today and Friday. But he still recorded the two lectures and posted the video online so we have to watch them for our quiz on Monday. All I could think was, "That's so Dr. H." I had him for intro to physio, and now I have him for advanced physio, and that is just his style. Never wanting to get off schedule, even if his mother has a health crisis.
TV wise, I can't wait for the 20th. I'm actually lucky because I don't have class on Tuesday, so I'm not coming back here until Tuesday night. That means I can stay home and watch the big speech. I'm so jealous because my boss is actually going to Washington for it. I guess she decided to go with the Torrence high school band when they got booked back in Sept. of 07. I would pretty much give anything to be there because it is going to be such a historic day. Besides that, I'm just waiting for the weekends so I can watch my favorite shows. I was disappointed with the Biggest Loser. Why did they have like half of the people leave in the first week? That was a really dumb twist. Anyways, still waiting for Heroes! The preview for this chapter looked so good! Also, can't wait for The Office! OMG, Andy finds out! Oh, so much good TV to look forward too.
Song of the Day
El Matador by The Spirit of Troy (Trojan Marching Band)
Selected because: It's the song they play for Sanchez and I better hear it next year
