I needed that...

There wasn't a whole lot going on this past weekend, but I think that was just what I needed. The semester has been pretty good overall, but I've been doing a lot of thinking recently about what I'm going to do after I graduate. I still have several months before May rolls around, but I have a feel they will be gone before I know it. I'm currently debating between going to grad school right away or taking a year or two off so I can work and start paying off my loans. While it is exciting to think about all the possibilities there are available, it's starting to just become a lot of information to process. I think that's why this weekend was so good.

I didn't really see anybody most of the weekend to be honest. I could have probably been more social, but it just seemed like a lock myself in my room and sleep and watch football and scrubs type weekend. Plus, all my friends left for the weekend, which was odd. Usually one or two might, but literally all my friends were busy with something for at least part of the weekend. It worked out though, because as I alluded to above, it was just nice to have a chance to unwind and not think about all the decisions I will have to be making before long.

This week should be pretty cool though. It's Homecoming week which is always a good time. Today was the kickoff with a block party in front of Neufeld Hall. Instead of having food in the normal location (Marbeck Commons), it was served outside as more of a cookout. There were also prizes (gas cards, water bottles) being given away every 15 minutes or so. I didn't win, but there's still a chance I could win an iPod Nano on Thursday night. (If you recall, I won a Nano a couple weeks ago at the Rootbeer Keg Party. If I win this time, I know what Mary will be getting for her birthday on Monday. :) )

I'm pretty excited because I get to host tomorrow's event- "Are You Smarter Than a First Year." It's a spin off of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. It should be pretty fun and the contestants will have the opportunity to win up to $50 each. I've never done anything like this before, so we'll see how good I am at hosting a gameshow. Who knows, maybe I'll find my calling and my post-graduation plans will have figured themselves out...?

Alright, that's all for tonight. Hopefully I can get some sweet pictures or video of me hosting "Are You Smarter Than a First Year". Or some other Homecoming event. I apologize for dropping the ball with viewable media lately.

Until next time,

Scott
