The Roundup

Alright, so every Friday I'm going to try and do a little thing I'm going to try calling "Friday Roundup." Basically, I'm just going to cover little things that I've seen or found out or thought about in the last week or so. I'll try and keep them related to recent goings-on at college.

1.) Purdue football takes on Central Michigan at home on Saturday afternoon. Should be another blowout. Anybody else just waiting for them to play a real game?

2.) Don't you just love it how people manage to drop calculators and phones every time a lecturer pauses during class? It is guaranteed you will hear something hit the ground in those precious moments of silence.

3.) Little advice I just picked up today: Do not keep your alarm clock within arms reach of your bed. You are guaranteed to hit the snooze button and almost miss your 7:30 AM Chem Lab.

4.) Anybody else getting sick of the dorm food by now? I eat at Ford, and the first couple weeks I was pumped... I thought it was good food. Now I can hardly stand to look at the stuff they serve. Is it me, or is it just getting worse and worse there?

5.) Saturday also marks the meeting of two once-respected football programs that are now just trying to pick up their first win of the season. I'm talking of course about Michigan and Notre Dame. Both teams are 0-2, so at least somebody's walking away with a win tomorrow. I'm still skeptical. Here's a little preview: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/preview?gameId=272580130

6.) Don't you just love those classes where the lab and the lecture don't seem to be related in any way?? If your at Purdue and your taking Engineering 126 you know exactly what I'm talking about.

7.) Again, I'm a big sports fan so I'm going to keep hitting you with that stuff. West Virginia beat Maryland last night in football, Steve Slaton picked up three touchdowns. This kid is for real and I think he's going to have a great season. Of course I only know this from playin NCAA 08, so I opinion could be a little off.

Alright 7 is the best I could do for now. I promise I'll get better as time goes. I'll also end with a quote at the end of each post, just something for you to think about...

"Do what no one else does, and one day you will have what everyone else wants."
