The weirdness of the Charleston Civic Center

You know, something about that place just screams high school basketball to me. I know why it does since I’ve seen probably way too many high shcool basketball games over the years in the Civic Center. But you’d think it would have been different for a college game last night against Marshall. Nope. Not a single bit. The Marshall fans made it feel straight up like a high school game and with the place being packed to the top it felt like the old days when Woodrow and some other school would pack the place for a high school basketball final with Woodrow winning. That’s right, the bigger and better school winning.

But not last night as you all probaby know, it was Marshall coming away as the victor. It really felt like little brother slapped big brother in the face with the overal way their fans treated the game.

I was obviously there last night for the game. I was courtside and loving my view but hating the product that I was watching. Thankfully all I paid for yesterday was a soda and some chips for the drive down. I would have been a bit pissed to actually drive as a student down there and sit in the stands for that one. It was just ugly.

Getting back real late after that game wasn’t to great either since I have been waking up early as of late to go work out in the mornings before class. Yet, some how this morning I still woke up around the same time as I have been. Not fun at all I say but it will be okay.

Its hard to believe its less than two weeks from my birthday. Eh…scary but the sad part is its on my busiest day of the week, Tuesday. Speaking of birthdays, my mom’s is coming up this weekend. I won’t give her age but I will say she looks nothing like it. Hopefully I will get to see her this weekend on Saturday (note her birthday is Sunday though).

Ah, I love how my school week ends on Thursdays by the way.

Killing time..

Now that I am figuring out my schedule for this semester I am begining to find the gaps for free time in my week. This happens to be one of them for now…though I am sure once my broadcasting class gets going it will surely change to where I don’t have free time. So I may as well enjoy it while I have it right? You betcha…

Once I would like to think Mikey for getting me hooked on 24. Seriously, its a great show to watch if you into trying to figure out what is going to happen and what not. So I do have some 24 to watch here on my downtime if I choose to do so.

Lately, I have been getting up earlier than normal and going and working out at the rec center here. I am working on my laziness I guess you could say, and I just kinda missed being in decent shape. So far its going pretty well…I am only working out for a hour or so each morning. Just some biking and some lifting. Nothing to shabby…it surely makes an interesting way to start the day. Plus the rec center isn’t nearly as busy at that time of the day as it is when I used to go at night. That was a big reason why I didn’t like going there for a while. I just couldn’t stand the crowds there, and I am sure its even worse right now at night there since everyone and their dog wants to be in shape for spring break in this town. Its kinda gay if you ask me that so many people do that, thankfully that is not my reason. I feel I wouldn’t be doing myself a favor if I was trying to do that for a week that I will just be moving.

Speaking of moving, I checked out my new townhouse with Mikey, Jennifer and her brother Andrew yesterday. Looks like a nice place…so only like 50 some days left until we move in there. Though my bed room has a door to the outside deck in it. A little differnet but I will manage it just fine I am sure.

Spring time…in winter

Who can not like this weather? Honestly, 62 on a day in January? I love it, there is nothing better than a mild day in winter in my books. But watch it snow this weekend now that I say that.

Yeah, I know what your thinking…where have I been the last week or so. Well, the new semester started off here, so I had to get a couple days in under my belt to see how things would go. So far I like my classes…well okay three out of four isn’t bad. My ECON class is very boring though. The others seem good though, or at least they seem like they will be very interesting and worth going to.

And I am starting to work out again here, I have actually been getting myself up in the mornings before class and going and working out at the rec center here. Crazy, I know, but its worth it in the long run I know that.

So, a four day weekend ahead sounds great. No classes Monday is very nice.

Lots of birthdays this month in the family…dad’s was yesterday. Again, Happy Birthday to him…and Mikey’s is tomorrow. He’s getting old at 24 tomorrow. Mom is later this month too and if ol’ Chuck was alive he would be really old…for a dog.

I think winter is odd

You know I don’t think ol’ man winter knows what to do in Morgantown. It seems like he wants to dump loads of snow on us here but can’t. Why is that? I don’t have an answer for that here but I just find it weird that we get little snow and five or six miles north of us get loads more snow than we do. Crazy.

Today has been on and off on the snow, that is why I bring it up here. It’s gone from big flakes to little ones. Sticking to not sticking….its like a drunken mess out there if you ask me…nothing true to form and the way it should or could be. I don’t know, if you can’t tell I have had some free time today to see all of this. Not too much to the point where I am bored to death but enough that I have noticed things.

Okay, on a lighter note, I just downloaded a new CD on iTunes. Mat Kearney’s Bullet. I’ve heard this guy over and over on XM on the Torch but I can’t believe I hadn’t gotten this CD before because it is great. Pick it up, you may enjoy.

Alright, so one more weekend until the new semester. My schedule isn’t too much different than last semester really, as far as time of the classes go here. I do have class on Mondays this time around though, which could be different but I probably won’t even notice a thing on that.

  •    SEP 383  – Mondays and Wednesday from 11 till 12:15
  •    SEP 420  – Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 till 3:45 (i think…haha I’d have to check again)
  •    ECON 201 – Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 till 12:15
  •    BN 386 – Tuesdays from 7 till 9:50 pm….yeah late night class here folks

I was gonna take another class but I dropped it since I am sticking around for another semester next spring. No more graduating early due to various reasons like where I will be living, and putting together more on my resume tape for starters.

Okay…that’s all for now…also you all need to pick up the Wedding Crashers. Its great!

Back in…

Happy 06 everyone…its nice to be back from my little trip to the Sugar Bowl.

I believe I caught up on my sleep that I missed while I was gone today by getting to sleep in and actually feel okay about that. Usually I don’t like sleeping in too long because I will feel my day has been wasted if I do but for once I slept in and felt okay by that.

First off, the Sugar Bowl was a trip that was well worth it. The highs and lows of the game were there but it was an amazing atmosphere and experience all in one. I wouldn’t have traded that for anything I believe. It truely was something I will never forget doing. I still can’t believe I went to the game really…the friends I was with during the trip and the game all felt the same…it was like a crazy dream!

But now its back to the real-ness of Morgantown for a few days before the new semester kicks up and gets going here. Hard to believe Monday is the new semester…and its hard to believe that I actually have class on Monday again this semester. It will be good though, I know that. It will be nice though to rest up here until then, right now people are sloooowwly getting back into town, which kinda sucks in a way because Morgantown is kinda nice without everyone here but it will be back to business this weekend I am sure.

I just wish my freakin’ refund check would make it here. You’d think 5 days or so before the semester it would come. I just hope they didn’t mess up and send it to my old address like they did last semester. They shouldn’t though, because they do have my current address on file so hopefully I won’t have to worry about that. We will see though…
