First of all, like the new header? I was dying to get rid of that boring "STRAIGHT TALK" at the top. I almost stopped visiting my blog just because I wanted to fall asleep every time I clicked Command-4 (Cue, Google search, Safari Shortcuts.). But that surely spices things up a bit, right? Credit to flamingtext.com for that one, such a cool website for blogs.
Whenever I type really fast while I'm blogging I always feel like Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook (or at least the way he is portrayed in the movie The Social Network. That movie immediately became one of my favorite movies the first time I saw it. I thought it was an incredible masterpiece; I'm hoping it wins plenty of well-deserved awards this year. If only I was a genius programmer that went to Harvard and had the capacity and ability to create something so magnificently addicting and profitable as Facebook. Then I wouldn't have to spend all this time worrying about the future. But I know it's not my calling to create the next Facebook. I'm gonna go...do whatever math majors do! And the answer to the ever-present follow-up question to me telling someone I'm a math major... "Oh cool, are you gonna teach?" Umm... Not really sure yet, I don't think so. [Repeat conversation 1536 times during Freshman year.] You can do great things with math majors though, just ask anyone who has asked me what my major is.
In other news, I started journaling in the Little Black Book again. He missed me, that little guy. I think I picked a pretty good time to start writing again, there was definitely a need for me to get some thoughts out on to paper. I thought about typing all of it, but now I'm really glad I wrote out the entire thing. Josh convinced me to write it instead of typing it, and I'm now starting to understand why he told me to do that. While I can type words exponentially faster than I can write them, the ideas seem more cemented in my head now that I wrote them out in my journal. Maybe it's because I spend so much time typing things on computers that I just get into a habit of typing everything that comes to mind (Cue, this blog post. I could be a strong candidate for an Attention Deficit Disorder advertising campaign). I even wrote a letter to somebody in the middle of my journaling. I explained that in my last post, '2/8'. I'm not telling who it was to, because that's for me to know and for everyone else not to know. As Tony Stark said, I'm playing this one pretty close to the chest [heart]. I'm kind of worried about what's going to happen, this one could get pretty interesting. But probably not. I have a tendency of creating somewhat anticlimactic endings to seemingly fascinating stories. (Cue, umm... well never mind that one.)
Transition is probably going to be a pretty hard class. So far it hasn't been bad, it just feels like logic puzzles on A-roids. I mean steroids. But once more math gets thrown in there, I'm going to be severely challenged. Can't wait! (Cue, Bart Scott, New York Jets.) Calculus III will also be challenging. We've only met a few times because of teacher-sickness and the snow days. All the other classes should be fine if I'm able to keep up with things.
Speaking of snow days, in case you haven't noticed, I am starting to go a little insane being in this dorm room so much. In the last 2 days, I think I've left it for a total of about 30 minutes. And that was just to go get food, take Josh to work, and to pick him up. Today, my one class was cancelled. My excitement soon turned to sheer insanity as I stared at the same walls for what seemed like FOREVER. We're supposed to get more snow tomorrow, so I'm thinking my last 2 or 3 classes will be cancelled. If that is the case, I will definitely be going to the gym or to the movies or anywhere outside of my dorm room. I'm usually a big fan of snow days but tomorrow I don't think I'd mind one bit if I had to go to all of my classes. Mama made us some chicken pot pie that was delicious last night, then David and I had the leftovers from Kristen's pan tonight. Good and free food, can't beat it. I'll probably go out to eat tomorrow just for the change of scenery. Maybe Moes, that sounds pretty good.
Packers won the Super Bowl, woo hoo. And to think the Bucs were so close to knocking them out of that 6 seed... We could've gone all the way. I really hope Freeman wins one while he is there, I think he has the ability to definitely do that.
Barca are still 7 points clear, breaking records left and right. Messi is scoring goals for fun this year (Cue, rapidly passing Maradona and slowly creeping into the contention for the GOAT [Greatest Of All Time (Cue, Bill Simmons.)]). United finally lost... to the worst team in the league... that was pretty dumb. Couldn't connect any passes or create any chances.
LeBron should definitely win the MVP this year, for the third time in a row. I really don't even think it's a contest. However, with all the bad publicity, I think he might struggle to win a lot of the voters' hearts. From purely a basketball perspective, he's my MVP, hands down. Rose is having a great year, but not a LeBron type year. (Cue, "He's arrogant! He's selfish! He thinks he's the best ever!" arguments. Didn't say I was picking my most admirable NBA player, I was picking the one I think is the best. And I think he's leagues ahead of the other candidates.)
What sports have I missed? Oh, the Lightning are doing pretty well recently. Stamkos is leading the league in goals right now with 40. I hope he can contend for the MVP as well as the scoring trophy. More importantly, the Lightning need to make a deep run into the playoffs this year. That'd be incredible. I got my Marty jersey; I'm so excited about it.
I think this has been one of my relatively longer posts, great rambling session. I think I said some good things though! (Cue, nod head.)
Get...

Please.
(Cue, catchy sign-out phrase.)
