Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Hello Everyone!

It has been a long time since I blogged and I thought about stopping completely but then I decided that I wanted to keep going with it. As I write this not much has changed since I last blogged. I am now a Junior at SJU and am living in a townhouse with 4 other guys. It is really nice to have your own room even though cooking for yourself can get boring as not very enjoyable. I am home this weekend because it is my Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. I am overly excited to see my cousins and my family as we celebrate the love my Grandparents have for each other. The other big thing that happened over the summer was that I celebrated my 21st birthday. It is very nice to be able to enjoy a drink with friends and family when the oppertunity presents itself.

September begins the start of fall when everything seems to be just perfect. Friday nights are spent under the lights at high schools across the country. College and high school is starting and everyone starts to get in the swing of things. Fridays on college campus consists of hanging out with friends and avoiding cops. Saturday mornings are started with waking up at 10/11 and watching some college football on ESPN. During an away football Johnnie game we will probably be drinking water, while during a home game there might be a Mich Golden Btl or a screwdriver in our hands. Johnnie Football games consists of thousands of fans in red coming to cheer on their favorite team. Saturday nights always consists of more time with friends either playing Madden, NHL, or drinking games like beer pong or tippy cup. Waking up on Saturday morning usually leads to a long hot shower and 11 o clock pregame show on FOX. Fantasy football lineups are changing back and forth. Start him. Sit him. Take a chance on someone else. I am always wearing a jersey on Sunday along with a backwards hat to match. Usually there is a pizza in the oven and some chips and salsa around as well. Week 1 starts tomorrow and for millions of people, it can't get much better than that. I personally sit on my computer updating my live scoring (4 leagues this year... yikes) until about 6 oclock. That is when we start talking about getting homework done in the next hour and a half before the Sunday night game starts. The homework usually gets done at like 11 or 12 as no one attempts to do anything during the last game of the day (good thing there is MNF).

Besides sports the weather during the fall is perfect. a little breezy and sunny. Shorts and sweatshirt weather is best, I think we can all agree to that.

2:30 football games start in 10 minutes so I need to wrap this up. Johnnie/Tommie game is next weekend and so I hope to see all of you there! The weekend after that is Vegas so don't be surprised if I don't blog for a while. Everyone have a wonderful day!
