It’s that time of the week again!
It’s 3 p.m. on a Thursday and we all know what that means! BADM class == blog entry! I’ve been thinking, this is the last class I will ever take. *tear* I guess it’s fitting that I treat this class with the blatant attention disregard that has been the hallmark of my academic career. Honestly, though, this class really isn’t too bad. You can’t hate a class that brings in refreshments (like bagels and coffee) every week to class. We also have guest speakers on various IT security issues, so it’s interesting as well. To be honest, I do most of my writing during the two 10 minute breaks offered during the 3 hour class. Other classes should really take note as to how this one is run.
In other news, we will be receiving guests from Minnesota for the second straight weekend *cough-guilt-trip-shoe-cough* I’m not actually sure who it is. Someone named Laura who was one of Katy’s sorority sisters and a boyfriend, I believe. They won’t be staying long, they’re actually on their way elsewhere and will just be stopping over Friday night. Katy’s friend Lindsey may be making a return trip with her boyfriend Dave at the end of the month. Not sure about that just yet.
The stage is set for a great hockey game tomorrow night. I’m once again talking about Hill in section play. They will be taking on their arch enemy White Bear Friday, 9 p.m. at the Colosseum. Hill beat White Bear earlier this year 1-0. In theory Hill is the better team, but when Hill/White Bear go head to head, rankings seldom have much meaning. Should be a good time.
Last night I hosted the Jorge Cham talk (http://www.phdcomics.com/). It went really well, the room was filled past capacity. Somewhere in the range of 250 people. Found out that I was pronouncing Jorge incorrectly (pronounced whore-hey, I mean no disrespect in the phonetic spelling), but had a hard time not reverting back to “George”. Oh well. Pictures of the event are availabel here and here.

Dude, you’ll be down there so long I’ve got like 10 years to plan my visit. No problem. Also, I have to agree on the hype for tonight’s game. Many of us have the gophers so we can’t make it and that’s a big dilemma. Huge conflict of interest. In this case, I’d rather see Hill, but oh well - go gophers too. I’m really supersticious when it comes to Hill vs White Bear anyway, especially in section finals so maybe it’s better that I’m not there (most of the games I’ve gone to for them this year have been close). So yeah, maybe with me gone, they’ll just clean up on ‘em.

Our senior year we beat White Bear in the section finals. But yeah, on the whole it’s not a great thing that Hill is playing White Bear. Exciting, but the emotion of the game may overshadow who’s more skilled.

Dude, I TOLD you it was “Whore-hey”, not George, a month or two ago. Also, your wife is fluent in Spanish. Also, I assume visitors mean you’re not up for anything tonight so we should plan something awesome without you? I mean, two Lauras in one place really might throw off things.

Yeah - and now I’m sitting here having second thoughts. I very well may skip the gophers all together and go to the hill game
