How's life? You, looking at this page, how is life going for you? Is it treating you well?
Lately, life has been fun! I recently got Assassin's Creed, and at the moment I'm trying to complete Mile High Club on Vetern for CoD4. Insanely hard. Hardest level I've ever played in my life. But I'll battle through it. Assassin's Creed is REALLY fun, and has an engaging plot. Although I haven't completed it yet, the story hasn't been confusing for me at all. But anyways, I guess I'll tell you guys about my regular, daily life now.
School has been a little hard on me lately, with two projects. First, I have to do a "region," project. My region of the world is Meso/Central America. The time period is 1000-1750 CE. (Common Era, the politically correct term now-a-days.) Now it's not due till the end of January, it's still a pretty huge project. We have to a like a country report for every country in the region, which is, I don't know, like 6-10 countries(:?) a leader analysis, a presentation, some other stuff, and some other stuff! The next project is an English project. Although, it's not really an English project, it's more ofa "Sales and Marketing," project.We make any kind ofbeverage product we want, market it to a targtet market, create ads, posts, anything to basically sell the project. We have to create the ads and stuff, and write an essay to explain how the product will sell. I'm in groups for both projects, so I guess that'll make it easier, but still. Our beverage is called "Double Threat," and it's an energy drink. Don't ask me why, I didn't come up with the idea.
Also, my math teacher got engaged to her boyfriend. I know none of you know her, but it's coolbecause she's a really cool, laid back teacher. Oh! I know what I'mforgetting. In AP World History, next week we're taking a vote in our class. Our teacher is calling it a "class caucus," and we're going to compare to the caucus which is next week. Don't know where it is, I forget, New Hampshire, maybe? Don't know.Haha, it was funny though, cause my brother who's away at college at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota called us two nights ago, and he's like, "You know what happened to me? I got $100 in the mail for phone-banking for Obama's campaign," and it was just kind of cool. He's the leader of the "Students for Barack Obama," down at his University, and the group has like 300 or so members. So don't knoqw what he spent the money on, but he has a lot, since he's also a manager at the Target down in Winona. In the class caucus I'll probably vote for Barack, since I feel like he's a good guy that knows what's right for America. It was also kind of a surprise to see Hilary finish 3rd. A good thing for Edwards there.
Now, to all the bowl games.
Outback Bowl:Tennessee 21-Wisconsin 17: The Outback bowl was an EXCELLENT game, and a great matchup between Wisconsin and Tennessee. It was a tough game for both teams, butTennessee came out on top. Wisconsin was down by 4 with about 2 minutes to go, and they were driving pretty well, when Tyler Donovan threw one up, but it was a little under-thrown, and picked off by a Tennessee backup safety to seal the win.
AT&T Cotton Bowl: Mizzou 38-Arkansas 7: WOW. JUST WOW. Ok, I didn't know that Tony Temple was such a major BEAST! 281 rushing yards, and 4 TD's! TOTAL BEAST. BOTH Cotton Bowl records. First of all, Run DMC didn't show up, yeah he had a TD, but it was TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. TONY TEMPLE shows up in the big games. But it just makes me wonder, why didn't Mizzou use him like the in the BiG 12 Championship vs. Oklahoma? If they played this well, they should have won the Big 12 title.
Capital One Bowl: Michigan 41-Florida 35: Great way for Lloyd to go out. Was a TOTAL OFFENSIVE game, and very fun to watch. The crowd was excited, Tebow had a great game in the losing effort, but the key guy for Michigan was Arrington. Did you see that one side line grab he where his arm went AROUND the CB's back, and caught it? TOTAL BEAST for a guy that weighs like 165!
Rose Bowl: USC 49-Illinois 17: Alright, I truly wanted Illinois to win, but I knew they wouldn't. USC is FINALLY healthy, and in Pasadena=No Chance for Illinois. They're crazy about OJ Mayo in Southern Cali, but they're also crazy about Joe McKnight. This freshman had a good game, and USC dominated on both sides of the ball. Not much else to say.
Allstate Sugar Bowl: Georgia 41-Hawaii 10: Ok. Seriously, this one should have been closer. But then again, with Mathew Stafford, Georgia was red hot coming into this game. Hawaii comes from a weak conference, and no one could really predict this one. But it was UGLY. Hawaii just couldn't get anything going. Colt Brenon was a NO SHOW, and did zippo, nothing, nada. I had expected Hawaii to play better, and I expected it to be closer, but with the same outcome, Georgia winning.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: West Virginia 48-Oklahoma 28: WOW. This should have been WAY closer. With the way OU played in the Big 12 title, they should have played way better. But then again, over-confident Oklahoma team coming off a huge Big 12 title win+West Virginia Team that's mad cause they beloved coach left his Alma Mater to go to Michigan=Huge success for West Virginia. This was OUTSTANDING. NOEL DEVINE, the freshman running back from West Virginia IS A BEAST. No, he's a MONSTER. This guy is so fast, but so powerful, he's like a bullet, literally. Super fast, and can kill yeah in one shot. He can hit a home run (meaning go all the way for a touchdown) at any given time in any given game. No matter, where, or who he goes against. TOTAL MONSTER.
Orange Bowl: Kansas 24-Virginia Tech 21: Didn't really watch it. boring game anyhow, neither team had a lot of offense. Wanted VT to win due to their school shooting, but hey, just didn't go their way.
PREDICTION OF THE ALLSTATE BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: I want LSU to win. They will win. Ohio State is ALWAYS over-confident. Look at last year, got KILLED 41-14. They had the Heisman winner, Tory Smith. He was drafted in the 5th round? How's he doing, well he's in Baltimore, where the Ravens recently fired head coach Brian Billick. Plus in NCAA Men's Basketball Ohio State lost to Florida.
Anyways, that's that! Have a GREAT WEEKEND! And thanks for reading! :)
