SOOOOO BAD

So in this day and age gambling is an everyday or at least very often occurrence for many people. I do not have the money or the balls to invest in big time gambling but I enjoy playing cards and going to the casino every now and then . recently I invested a small amount of money in to online poker. I figured what the hell not a big deal if i loose it and if I win all the better for me. I started off winning a couple small tournaments and doubled my account, but it was quickly down hill from there. I did not money in three straight tournaments and then i got lucky...real lucky and won another. From there my account again took a large blow and I was left with only enough for a small tournament for my account. Finally, I took a huge blow in my final tourney and lost all of my winnings with only 4 people left. So clearly I am not the best gambler, but I am convinced online gambling is fixed in some way or another.....over the past couple days I have witnessed so many bad beats.....people that should not even be in hands taken down the pot....its ridiculous. I have learned it is better to invest into something that you can control rather then a simple game of luck...or controlled luck for that matter.

Time to do nothing

We have been here for about a month now and its getting to be that time where I loose motivation. I have always been a good student, not the best but good, and i seem to fall into these slumps. Not to mention the 4 page paper we have due this week isn't helping much. I am trying to make myself stay focused but I'm beat and feel like doing nothing. At this point anything sounds better then doing work. Fifa, movies, football, and sleep are pretty much what I enjoy at this point. I will pick it up though I gotta stay focused....I'm sure a lot of people feel the same.

I have not been home yet sense being here and I'm trying to keep it that way..its not that I hate home I am just having fun being here. After the next two or three weeks I will be home every weekend. I hunt so that will give me something to look forward to going home.

BILLS

Sports have always been a huge part of my life...watching and playing. I think, and I feel that many could agree, that college athletics are more enjoyable to watch then professional. It seems that college athletics are more intense and there is a true drive to win and love for the sport. I feel that many, not all, professional sports and athletes lack the desire to win. But of all professional sport leagues I think that the NFL is the best run and most respected.
My favorite NFL team is the Buffalo Bills, and although they are haven a horrible start to the year I gotta stay strong. Week one we lost on a last second field goal to the Broncos and week to ended with a killing at the hands of the Steelers. But either way I will continue to watch and cheer for my team.

BLAHHHHHHH

So usually I have a very strong immune system, but for some reason as soon as I hit Cortland's campus it disappears. I have been here for two and a half weeks and I have been sick for a week of it. I only get sick 4 or 5 times each year but at least three of them are while I'm on Cortland's campus. It just makes going to classes and dragging the day out so much harder.
Another thing I do not get is the amount of work I have had already. Last year I hardly had to do any work except before tests and final papers. This year I have had at least an hour of work every night sense the first day. It is not that it is hard work it just takes up time and frustrates me.
But enough of my bitching I am still glad I am here and everyday is fun even though the work sucks.

Soccer

I have been involved in sports for most of my life and active sense I was born. I began to play soccer when I was in 2nd grade and that carried all the way through senior year of high school. It was a great chance to meet people and build bonds with others. After high school I planned to play college soccer at a different school , but those plans fell through. I came to Cortland out of shape and little interest in playing here, but soon the inner drive was sparked again. So along with my buddy from high school I tried out for the club soccer team. It was a good chance be competitive and get athletics back in my life.
I eventually made the team and this past weekend we had are first game. It ended in a one-one draw, but it was great to be back on the field. I realized how out of shape I was and it sparked the interest to run a bit more. So maybe this is good in more then one way.

96 Lincoln

So we have been looking for off campus housing for next year and it is not as easy as I thought it would be. We contacted a bunch of land lords, but few seemed to be interested in selling us a house. I think this was because it was 5 guys looking for a house and they would have preferred to sell it to girls. But in the end we did find a couple of houses to go through. They were all nice but we decided to commit to the house on 96 Lincoln....It was the cheapest we could find and it was only a year old.
It feels weird to be looking for a house. It makes you think about how old you are getting. I remember when i was younger I could not wait to get my own house and now that its here its a little scary. There are bills, food, and other needs that we must take care of.
But even with all of that I can not wait to move in....its going to be the best year of my life to date.

Un-able to stay awake??

It is safe to say that a number of SUNY Cortland students attempt to find a member of the opposite sex to hang out with from time to time. This is a normal human process and is not shameful at all, but what I don't understand is once you find that special person to spend some alone time with....why fall asleep??
This happened twice this weekend. Two of my roommates brought back respectable girls that seemed to be cool. One of my roommates....who's name I will disclose( but is known as a G) decided to invite his friend back, but before he could spend some time with her he felt the need to eat everything in our room. By the time he had finished a bag of popcorn,a cup of soup, and a bag of pop-tarts he was to sleepy to roll over and conversate....he simply went to sleep like a little baby. To make it even worse... the following night another one of my roommates decided to do almost the same thing. He also brought back a girl that seemed to be very nice....but before we knew it....he had already wrestled three rounds with her and we found him passed out with "socko" in his mouth.
I just don't understand this....young men( One of which is a G) and two pretty girls....why go to sleep so early???? It is funny...but is this the quality I will see from my roommates all year?
