Fall Ball is done

Fall ball is done completely now. Now I am ready for thanksgiving to come and go home and visit and get some good food. It will just be nice to go home for a little bit and get away from this place for a while. My roommates start to drive me crazy after a while. They are all a bunch of pricks and think they are better than they are. They are always more worried about what somebody else is doing instead of just worrying about their self. They are extremely annoying and they think that the world revolves around them. When quite frankly I could care less about them.
That is the only bad part about fall ball being done is that I have to spend more time around them at the place. I don't mind them on the field but when it comes to sitting around the place I can not stand even being around them at all. Anyways this week is awesome though because I don't have crim class and I don't have english. Also baseball is done so therefore I have a very free schedule. Lastly, this weekend I should be able to go home on Friday afternoon and enjoy my time away.

Voting

That is awesome that we have off all next from English. I have already voted by absentee ballet for the presidential election. I voted about two weeks ago actually so I won't vote on Tuesday but I completely agree that everybody should go vote. I defiantly agree that you should skip classes because professors should not have class on that day. My history teacher is going to have class on Tuesday but that is the only one I think. It is a little hard to vote if you have to go to school all day or work. I think that is partially why voter turn out is so bad in the United States. This election for president is by far one of the most important in a long time. People should want to have a say in who leads our country. Our country is in trouble economically and we are waste deep in a tough war and whoever comes into office is going to have their hands full. I believe that things need to be done by authority but presidents can't do anything unless they agree with congress. So go vote and be informed on everything that is on the ballet not just the president.

Cold Weather

It has gotten cold. We still have one week of baseball left and the weather decided that it could not wait another week. It has rained all afternoon besides that it is absolutely freezing outside. I even heard that there is a slight chance of some snow showers later in the week. It is not going to be quite that cold but I do believe it could flurry or something if the moisture is there. Next week we switch to all lifting and it is indoors but this week we are still outside. Baseball is not a very good cold weather sport because there can be a lot of standing around at times which gives you a very good chance of getting cold. Besides that you can not perform near as well when its cold. I don't mind walking to class in the cold weather even though I would prefer warmer weather. Anyways my point being that if the cold weather would wait till next week I would greatly appreciate it. I guess that is why mother nature is so interesting because we defiantly can not control it. Anyways next week it will all be over and it will not matter anyways especially since we don't even have english all week I don't think for conferences or something so that sounds good.

Scheduling

Why is there so many requirements you have to take into effect while scheduling? I believe that in order to get a degree you should have to get a certain amount of credits and that's it. The only special requirement should be that you need one english class and one math class. Besides that they should just let you pick your classes. It is so dumb all of the stupid stuff that they make you do that I will never use again. I am trying to find history and art classes to fit into my schedule that I am required to take but will never need them. It is stupid because it is not necessary for one thing and the other is that I have no interest. Those types of classes are just going to be miserable to me because I have no interest. You should be able to declare a major and have a certain amount of credits towards you major with english and math and you're good to go. The rest of all of the little pity requirements just try to complicate things. College is hard enough just taking classes that you are interested in so when you hate the class it just makes is horrible to take the class. College is defiantly difficult enough without taking stupid classes like we had to in high school.

1 week

I can't wait because we only have one week left of fall ball for baseball. Starting in November we switch to just lifting. I believe this will help my school work tremendously because I will actually have time to complete my work. Not including that I will actually be able to study for my test and get some sleep. It will probably take me the entire month of the November to get caught up on my sleep. During the week we just have weight lifting in the evening and than nothing instead of like three hour practices and than lifting after that. It will be much easier to get all of my study hall hours in becasue I will acually have a littlew bit of free time on my hands. I will also be off on the weekend too besides a early lifting on saturday morning. it will be great because I will actually be able to live a somewhat normal college life instead of just baseball and school. Not including I will be able go home some more and see my family and even go hunting. It will be great and than we will have winter break and than start up fresh again untill the end of the school year.

RAIN

It is suppose to rain on homecoming weekend. Hopefully it is going to be a good game and we will win big. But now with a rain game you never know what will happen because it will come down to whoever adapts to the weather conditions the best. Not including all of the events that happen tommorrow and stuff that is goign on. It will make tail gating even bad if it rains as much as it is suppose too because the parking lots will flood. Campus will be packed and than with heavy rains is will cause accidents and a huge traffic jam. It will be miserable to go watch the game in that weather also. If we play like we did against Virgina than it will really be miserable to watch. Than again if we play like we did against wake forrest than we will be just fine. I just hope that if it rains than it does it in morning and than it is just showers in the afternoon. The perfect option will be for no rain at all but since the sport is football if it rains it wont be bad as long as it does not rain really hard.

Mid Term

I just want to state right of the bat that I think only having two test in a class and that accounting for 85 percent of your grade than that is stupid. My history class has a unbelievable amount of information to cover. It is a class that requires over a hundred pages of reading every week with two jammed packed lectures of completely different information. This is the first test that we have had and its a ton of information and chances are they will only test on about a third of it because it is a 50 minute test. I am trying to study for it now and I am going to be up for a while because I need a break about every hour because it is so hard to remember. Of course my break this time would happen to be writing this blog. I need to vent because I am pretty sure that the class average will be about 30 percent and if you bomb this mid term, you pretty much are going to bomb the course.
That is the really crappy part is that you could do all of this reading every week and than not even get any credit. I would strongly recommend that no body take this course because it is by far my worst class of the semester. I am sure that everyone here has a class like this one that you only have like two test that make up your entire grade. I am just trying to look over everything because I have no idea what he is going to put on the test because it is just so much material.
