Bobby's Blog

Goin' to the 'ship

Hey everyone, I’m sitting here in Walter Library on this rainy, rainy Sunday and I decided to blog for the first time in my life. Seriously, this is the first time I have ever blogged so bear with me here. I suppose you all are dying to hear what I have to say, so I’ll begin.

School hasn’t been too bad this last week, I think the reason for that is the week before spring break consisted of so much to do in all my classes, that all my teachers decided to ease up for a little bit. I had two papers, a case study, two midterms, and one quiz to do, all in the week right before break, so I don’t think my teachers had anything left to give us.

That was really nice, because this week my intramural basketball team was in the playoffs. We had to play two undefeated teams and were the sixth seed, but we ended up overcoming all the odds and making it to the championship game. I am really glad we made it because the championship game is going to be played at Williams Arena on Monday at nine! We won three games in four days and I’m just hoping we can pull it out in this last one. If we win we get t-shirts. However, win or lose, It’s going to be really fun playing on the court that all the Gopher greats have played on.

That court has been around for so long and has so much history within those walls, that it will be enough of a prize even if we lose. All right, I have a paper to start on that’s calling my name so I better get back to that. I’ll let all of you know how my intramural game turned out next time.
