oh i don't know

Last week our dorm played in the social leagues basketball championship- I scored a few points and grabbed a few boards, but we ended up losing by about 12 points.  There was a fight at one point, and as it's co-ed, it was kind of amusing to see the girls just walk to the side and chat while the guys battled it out.  Apparently one of the girls on their team played for the NZ national team.  It's funny how many people I've met that have been on a national sporting team.  I guess that's what happens in a country of just 4 million people...

I did a lot of lazing last week since the semester is winding down.  Hm... I'm not sure how to elaborate... The "Life on Mars" finale was terrible...

On Sunday a bunch of us went to see Angels and Demons.  I have to say that movie etiquette is much better here.  An usher actually went up to someone and told them to turn their phone off that hadn't even made any noise.  What's more, the guy actually listened!  Impressive!  The movie itself was disappointingly average, and at risk of sounding like a broken record, the book was way better.  

I have to say that I'm so glad that I'm staying longer.  I was originally supposed to leave 20 june - in 3 weeks.  I really can't imagine leaving that soon.  Although I could use some sun and sweltering heat...

  1. I'm sure there will be plenty of sweltering heat when you get back in August. ...probably even let you run the mower. Its about 80 here today with a light northerly breeze...just about perfect. Its a great night to go to the arboretum and listen to some tunes...but alas, it is polka night at the A. dad

  2. ...also, isn't it customary to jump in the 'fray' and help out your teammate?
