Long Week

This week was a very interesting week. It started at 7 am Monday morning with my alarm going off. This would signify the start of my long week of classes and tests. I only got four hours of sleep that night as I was out till 2 am the night before. I felt really exhausted when I woke up and did not feel like sitting through another boring engineering lecture in which you learn nothing, and then get homework on the stuff that you haven’t learned yet, and that was only that start of my long Monday which consisted of four classes of which two were math classes. This was going to be a fun day.

I barely got through Monday by being patient and almost sleeping through some of my classes, and then came Tuesday, when I had to go take my calculus test at the math emporium. This process took me about three hours. The worst part about this was that by the time I got back all the dining halls were closed, so I had to go eat at DX. This didn’t help since I was really hungry and needed more food. Luckily I had food in my room and that’s how I got through dinner and there was still homework left to do. That was only Tuesday, with still three more days of classes remaining, and another test to take; I knew this was going to be a long week.

Then came Wednesday, and this was another long day, with four classes, which again included two math classes. This was when I started wishing that the weekend would get here as soon as possible, but somehow I knew that would just make it seem even longer before it actually got here. So the day went by with me going to class and then coming back to my dorm and doing homework since there was nothing else to do. Later that I night I hung out with my friends playing pool at Squires. This was the highlight of my day, which speaks to how boring my day was.

Then came my easy days of the week, with only three classes in two days, I was really looking forward to having nothing to do once I got out of class, and not having to do any homework since all of it would be due next week. I also donated blood in between the two classes I had, this was a good break from all the work. I spent about two hours going through all the tests and screenings, before I could actually give blood. Then it took about five minutes to actually donate blood, but it was worth the wait since I got free food after I was done donating, and I would do anything for free food.

Then on Friday I just had one class and could sleep in since it wasn’t till 1:30. So after class I went to Christiansburg with my friends and hung out there for the rest of the day. This gave me time to get a break from school and going anything, even playing basketball, which I do like at least five times a week. When I got back I just went to sleep since it was one in the morning and I was really tired.

The next day I woke up to people yelling and music blasting, and that when I realized that I didn’t have a ticket to the football game. So I spent the day in my room watching the amazing football game, which had an awesome ending. The whole game I would hear the crowd from the stadium and then I would see the play on TV, and with every cheer from the crowd I knew that something good happened but wouldn’t actually know what happened till seven seconds later since there was a delay in the game broadcast. This kept the suspense somewhat up as I wouldn’t know if the cheers from the stadium were from Nebraska fans or from Tech fans. This was somewhat of an awesome experience since it was the first time I actually didn’t go to a game that I could hear from the outside.

Later that night I spent my time at a birthday party for one of my friends from high school. This was a lot of fun since I got to catch up with people that I had not seen in a year or two but was good friends with while they were attending high school with me. I returned home at about two in the morning but I wasn’t sleepy, so I spent my time walking around campus watching all the drunken people getting back home after their adventurous nights, and some of them even took the time to entertain me with their stories from the party they had just attended. This was especially fun as most of them would not even remember me the next day, and talking to me.

Finally came Sunday, I spent most of the day doing homework and typing this blog post. This was really annoying as I could not be out enjoying myself and watching football. hopefully once I’m done writing this blog post, I can enjoy the rest of my day, by either playing some basketball or watching some football like I planned on doing when my day began, but somehow I ended up typing this.
