Randomness...part 2...

So since Rob and Josh loved the last blog I did, since it was so random, I’m going to do that same thing again this week, just because I have nothing better to write about. So right now I chatting with my friend who is in Spain on facebook and we talk to each other almost every day, she is doing a study abroad program and is then planning on studying here at Tech when she gets back, which I am very excited for, and looking forwards too. I am also sitting in the same place that I was last week when I did my random blog, but this time instead of just one other person in the room, there are two people except one of them, my friend Shannon is sleeping even though she is supposed to be watching this movie that is playing on their TV right now, but I’ll get to this later. My friend Abby is sitting on her bed just staring at the TV screen like I don’t even exist in this room; she is just totally into this movie we are watching. So this movie we are watching is called Julie and Julia and it’s pretty interesting and distracting at the same time since I am watching that while doing this blog. I am also texting at this moment, with one of my friends who is still in high school and she is telling me about how her day was, which is actually pretty cool since I get to live my high school days through her texts, since she is basically taking the same classes I was. Abby just randomly decided to go back to lying on her bed instead of just sitting there staring at the screen she is now laying and starring at the screen, haha. Right now my mind is all over the place, since I am thinking about all the stuff that I need to do today and before tomorrow at 2pm. I have to meet with my engineering group tonight at 8:30 and then study for my multivariable calculus test tom at 2pm and then I also have to type up my rough draft for Julia before 1pm tomorrow afternoon, but it’s all okay, since I will get it done, and I just got another text and this movie is getting very intense so I’m going to stop writing now.

Randomness...

I didn’t know what to write about this week so I’m just going to write whatever comes to my mind or is happening around me while I write this blog. I just put new music on my phone so I am listening to that right now and it sounds pretty good on my phone compared to the shitty speaker on this stupid computer that we had to buy for engineering. I also hate engineering right now and I hate programming and matlab, I don’t see the point of it since I’m not going to use it at all after this year, I don’t know why I need to learn that shit if I’m never going to use it. But going back to this random blog, I am sitting in my friends room right now and she is watching some television show and laughing a lot so I assume it’s really good even though I have no idea what she is watching. I am also texting right now which is always fun especially since I am talking to one of my friends from high school who I don’t get to talk to a lot so it’s nice talking to her after such a long time. I also have written like twenty letters on facebook to my friends from high school and here at college since I couldn’t sleep so that’s what I thought I should do and so I did it. It was a lot of fun getting replies back and now I am just writing letter after letter to whoever decided to reply to my random messages from last night. I also ran eleven miles today so I am barely awake right now and I am also really tired and don’t really want to write this blog but I am doing it anyways since I don’t want to leave it for later which is probably a bad idea since I am just babbling right now about nothing and probably just wasted like ten minutes of your life making you read this shit which probably makes no sense to you at all but I had nothing else to talk about so yeah this is my blog for this week J hope you liked it.

3.2 Run in Remembrance

This Friday is the 3.2 Run in Remembrance. The 3.2-mile Run in Remembrance will once again be held on the 2010 Day of Remembrance to remember the 32 Hokies who lost their lives in 2007. This event allows you to be with fellow Hokies, to feel the support of the community and to celebrate the lives of our friends and family members. I feel like this is a good way to bring everyone together and have fun while doing something as a community. This is something that anyone can do, from kids to old people. Another reason I want to do this because I have been training for this race for a while and would like to do well since I ran in high school and haven’t run in a race for a long time. This race has been motivating me to run every day and train hard in order to get back in to shape. I have been running an average of 40 miles a week and that’s with one day a week off. This is while doing hills and speed workouts during the long runs. The goal is to run under 20 minutes for the 3.2 miles which is not that bad, since I have been training for a while now. That’s running about a 6 minute and 20 second miles three times. Even if I don’t achieve my goal it will still be fun to get back my competitive side since I haven’t been in competition for a long time. I am also planning on doing a half marathon soon, so this is a part of my training towards my goal of running a half marathon. I would like to do that in a time of 2 hours which I think is do able especially since I would have trained for it a long time.

Deportes (Sport!)

You might already know that I am really passionate when it comes to sport. I follow almost every sport out there, and this could possibly be the best time to be a sports fan. You can practically watch anything you want to at this time of the year. There is everything from baseball, which kicked off this weekend to basketball which is about to enter the playoffs, which should be an exciting two months of basketball, especially with the Lakers having a chance to repeat as NBA champs. Then there is hockey which is also close to enter its playoffs which should be a fun experience with the capitals playing for the Stanley cup. Then there is also the Masters which starts on Thursday and Tiger is back which should make things really interesting and maybe more people will actually pay attention to golf now that it has its superstar back. Finally, there is the NCAA tournament which wraps up this week with Duke playing Butler for the championship, not many people saw this coming since many picked Kansas to make it to the final and win over who ever would make it out of the other half of the bracket, which most believed would be either Kentucky or west Virginia.

Going into a more European sport, soccer is about to kick of the world cup in about a month or so, which should be a lot of fun to follow since it’s the world cup and it is soccer, the most popular sport in the world. Even people, who don’t watch soccer, watch the world cup since their country is playing for soccer’s most coveted prize. I believe that Brazil is going to win the world cup this year as their team has so many superstar player and the most talent out of any of the teams that are in the world cup.

For the next three months, sports is going to be a huge part of my life and will make my life a little more relaxing with all the school work and finals that are going to be coming up in may. Keeping up with all these sports should help keep my mind from irrupting and keep me from stressing out about finals.
