Classes...again...

I don't have much time to write as I am studying for two tests this weekend, and the Superbowl is tomorrow! I'm hoping that if I get a few practice tests done before I go to sleep tonight that tomorrow I'll be prepared enough for the Monday tests that I can watch the whole game. Otherwise I'll have to take my dad's advice and only watch the first half unless it's close and gets interesting in the second half. The other alternative is staying up til about 3 am tomorrow. Also feasible.

Just as a quick update, I'm applying for housing in the fall at a 6 bedroom duplex apartment. Joe, Andres, Eddie, Nikhil, and Kunal (Nikhil's roommate) will be living with me. I found an advertisement for a place on Monday, we looked at it on Wednesday, and if we turn in our applications by tomorrow I hope that we'll be approved for it. There are atleast two other groups filling out applications, but I am optimistic because the other two groups are undergrads, and I think the landlords really liked the idea of having 6 graduate students over 6 undergrads. I can't blame them. Anyway, they told me that none of the applications have been turned in fully yet, so if we get our applications in by Monday it is likely that we will have turned in the first completed set of applications. If all of this works out, it will be nice to already have a place squared away for next year. It's only about 2 blocks away from where I am now, and runs roughly the same cost, but I'll like having more company around and 2 kitchens! Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Hockey is cancelled this week because of the Superbowl, but we had practice today, which was fun. Our team captain thinks we may have too many forwards so I may have to start playing defense. It's okay though, I think I'm pretty good at defense anyway. I won't have to worry about puck handling as much.

Oh, I got a few pictures from Ivana this week from my friends visiting in December. I'll post them and then get back to work! I hope everybody is doing well.

Well, it started off as Joel grabbing Emily's leg, and then things just got out of hand...
