i know... i am late

Hopefully this is the sixth and final time you read it, but welcome to our blog. You probably know what we're all about by now because I am so late in starting, but if not check out the first post... it should let you know what we're going to talk about here. In fact, the first post should tell you about us in about 16 different ways, so have fun.

So time for a quick introduction... since I can't tell you my name, you'll just have to do without that. I'm from Houghton, MI which is right at the tip of the Upper Peninsula. It's really a great place and I can't wait to go back. I'm a freshmen at Purdue University, studying engineering. I haven't really decided which field of engineering I want to go into yet, but I figure I have a year to sort that out. I'm a big sports fan.... mostly basketball and football. I'm sort of a Michigan fan, which is pretty tough to admit at this point in time. Since I like sports so much, I'll probably post about that a lot, so all the other sports fans out there should check back once in awhile. While we're on the topic, can anybody believe how far Michigan has fallen in the last 2 weeks?? From being dubbed title contenders to having the entire season ruined is absolutely unbelievable. For god's sakes, they lost to a Division 1-AA team! How bad do you feel for Mike Hart? The guy is a great football player who just wanted to beat Ohio State and win a national title. The way the Wolverines are playing right now, they don't even belong on the same field as Ohio State.

Anyways, I apologize in advance because there is a good chance I go off on a lot of tangents like that. But back to me (as selfish as that sounds), I hope to cover other stuff besides sports too. I'm slowly realizing the number of distractions there are in college, and talking about that is another topic I hope to hit at some point in the future. In fact, I'm going to end this post and get started on my next one, because I need to write that one pretty quick.
