            Today wasn’t a very exciting day for me. I went out to eat with my family this afternoon after church and that was fun. We went to Texas Roadhouse and it was really good. I did a lot of studying for my midterm tomorrow and I think I am pretty good to go. Well I don’t know what else to talk about so I’ll talk about how much I like roller coasters. For our senior trip last year my class went to Cedar Point and it was a blast. It was the first time I have been there in a couple years and I had so much fun. I love riding roller coasters. I think my top two roller coasters from Cedar Point were the Millennium Force, The Maverick, and The Raptor. I rode the Dragster and I’m not going to lie, it was pretty lame. We stood in line for like 2 hours for a 15 second ride. Sure it was exciting to go so fast but you go up a hill and back down and you are done. It seems like a waste to wait in line that long for a ride that short. I don’t really like the swinging ships and all that there though. I just like to ride the roller coasters. The worst part of riding a roller coaster is the climb to the top. I hate it so much. You are going so slow and the anticipation is just killer. I hate looking over the edge and seeing how high up you are but once you start down the hill you forget all about that. I just like the thrill of the roller coasters. I pretty much rode every roller coaster there that day except for the one where you have to stand up. That one didn’t seem fun but I rode the three I mentioned earlier twice. I am hoping to take another trip up there next summer.

             Well today seemed like it went really fast. I am so tired and I haven’t gotten any sleep since last weekend. I can barely stay awake and I came home early tonight and I think I am just going to go to bed. College has really changed my sleeping schedule a lot. There is just so much to do and so little time. It seems like I am getting no sleep all week and find myself trying to catch up on the weekend. I have an exam on Monday so I will be doing a lot of studying tomorrow. I went to my high school’s football game last night and it snowed during the game! I had like 5 layers on and I stayed pretty warm until the 4^th quarter. It was just the first round of the playoffs and we were up by a lot so we left a little early. It seems so weird to have to watch the games in the stands this year and not being on the field during the game. I have really missed playing football this year. I had so much fun over the four years I played it was a great experience. I still remember how nervous I was starting my first varsity game. It was a huge rush. But after the first couple plays you don’t even think about it even more. By my senior year the nerves didn’t really bother me anymore. My senior year was a lot of fun but I missed a couple games because of a sprained ankle. That sucked but it was still a lot of fun.

            Well my Title for my paper was Pete Rose: In or Out. I completely made it up as I was writing it on the board and at first I thought it was pretty bad. But in the feedback I got mixed results. It was like half 10s and half like 1s. It seemed liked if people knew what I was referring to they liked it. I am going to keep it for now but let me know what you think of it.

            Is Pete Rose a Hall of Fame player or a Hall of Fame Cheater? Pete Rose was one of the greatest players to ever play the game of Baseball. In his 24 year career he had over 4,000 hits, 1300 RBI’s, and 200 stolen bases in his career. Not only that but he also has 160 homeruns and a career batting average of .303. He won three World Series Rings, one MVP Award, two Gold Gloves, and made 17 All-Star appearances at 5 different positions. All of Pete Rose’s amazing accomplishment ends up being overlooked because of the one mistake that he made. He is seen as a cheater because he bet on games when he was the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.. That is the one and only reason why he is not in the Hall of Fame. Debates about whether Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame are still going on today. Pete Rose was one of the greatest players to ever play the game and he made a mistake after his playing career was over. His mistake did not change his playing stats and he should be in the Hall of Fame.

           Today is taking forever. I hate Thursday so much. I hate 4 classes on Thursday and it seems like it is never going to end. The good thing is that all was a couple Thursday s off this quarter. We have next Thursday off and I am so looking forward to it. I will get to sleep in and just relax the whole day. Then we have the Thursday of Thanksgiving off. I love Thanksgiving because of all the food. All of the food is so good and it is fun getting together with my family. My dad’s side of the family is pretty crazy and it is always a good time. We always play Euchre and it always get pretty intense. Some of us, including me know how to stack the deck so we always cut the deck before we deal. I think Euchre is a really fun card game to play. A lot of people don’t know how to play and they should all learn how. I also liked to play Monopoly but no one really ever wants to play with me. They all say it takes too long but we will normally play on Thanksgiving. My family eats and then we just play games the rest of the day. It is a lot of fun and I am looking forward to it. Plus we will have a much needed break from school, so I am really looking forward to it. Well that’s my 250 words for the day.

       Well today I wrote my Commonplace paper. I am hoping that I did everything correctly but it seems pretty open so I think that I did. I also just realized that in one week tomorrow we don’t have class. I think that it is Veterans Day and we don’t have any classes. I am really looking forward to it. I am also really glad that it is on a Thursday because my Thursdays suck. I have 4 classes on Thursday and it always takes forever. I start at 9:30 and I’m not done until 5:18. It is awful. I do have like an hour between each class so I do get a little break but it is still pretty bad. I am looking forward to the weekend but I have an exam on Monday so I am going to have to do a lot of studying over the weekend. Actually I have an exam the next two Mondays so I will have to get my studying done over the weekend. I never want to do school work over the weekend but I always have to now. In high school I pretty much never had to do homework on the weekends but I have had to every weekend so far. I get out early on Fridays so I wish I could motivate myself to just get all of it done on Friday so I don’t have to worry about it the rest of the weekend. That never happens though. I always wait until Sunday. Well that’s 250 words so I am done.

      It was really nice not having class today! I got done at 10:18 today and it was so nice. I was hoping to get a lot of work done today but that didn’t work out that well. I did get a couple assignments done but no more than I would have gotten done if we had class. But that’s okay because it was really nice to have a little break. Even though I didn’t get as much homework done as I would have liked to, I did take a much needed nap! I took about an hour nap this afternoon and it was awesome. I can’t remember the last time that I got to take a nap. It was nice to take a nap but it took a while to get motivated to do some homework after that. I was actually hoping to get the entire weeks homework out of the way but I did get a decent amount of it done. I just wish I wasn’t such a procrastinator. Well I was watching the news earlier today and there is actually a chance of snow of Friday! I couldn’t believe it. It just seems like it was in the 90’s last week. I sure hope it doesn’t snow because I am not ready for the cold weather yet. I do like snow but I just don’t like the cold. I wish it could snow but still be warm outside. I guess I don’t mind the cold as much if it snows. And I have realized that Christmas is not even two months away! Time is going by so quickly!

         I am so glad that there is no class tomorrow. It seems like other people’s classes get cancelled but never mine. This my first class that has got cancelled and I am so glad. Tomorrow I have class from 9:30 to 10:18 and I am done for the day. It is probably going to be the best day. I am hoping to get most if my word done for the week so I can take an easy the rest of the week. I am also thinking a nap would be great tomorrow but I guess we will see how it works out. Yesterday I was working pretty hard on Webwork 5 to only find out it isn’t due this week. I am glad because I have a pretty good start on it. This webwork is only 15 problems that is good but that probably means they are extremely hard. This week isn’t near as busy as last week was for me. It feels so good not to have a million things to do this week. I just saw a commercial for the Due Date movie and it looks pretty funny. Alan for the Hangover is in it so it has to be funny. I have to say the Hangover was hilarious. It seems weird it came out over a year and a half ago. I haven’t watched it in a while and I think I should watch it again sometime. I really like seeing movies. I also pretty much like all types of movies except horror movies. I just think they are stupid but the Hangover was one of my favorite comedies
