WOW

Well, first lets start at the begining of the week. Monday, was Monday, first day back from Spring Break (which wasn't exactly a great break), and I had English & Anthro. No biggie.

Tuesday, supposed to be Public Speaking and Micro-Economics. Please noticed I said supposed to be, that is because I decided to do alittle "Independant Study" on Tuesday. I went to Barona Casino, simply because it was on my way to the SD Christian College Hawks baseball game that was played on the Barona Indian Reservation. So I placed $160 on the craps table, and after about 10-15 minutes max I had turned it into $205. I took the chips from the craps table over to the cage to change it into cash. I took $100 (which is WAY more than what I usually put into a slot) and put it into a Monopoly slot machine. After about 10-15 minutes on the machine, I turned $100 into a whopping $350. Not a bad day of "Independant Study", huh? I went to the baseball game and we won.

Wednesday, I had a paper due in English, and stayed up on Tuesday until about 2 in the morning so that I could get it done. I turned in the paper and then got my rear end handed to me on my last paper ( D ). In Anthro, again no biggie, and of course Intro to Computers where we watched "The Pirates of Silicon Valley". Kinda interesting, but nothing all that Emmy worthy. After class, I ended up going down to PB to watch this group called Steel Panther (formerly known as Metal Skool) which is a 80's cover band that Matty sees every week. I had always told Matty that I would go one of these weeks with him to see the group. All the stories he has told me about the "talent" was true, the "talent" was very high.

Thursday, I went to P.S. and Econ. Funny thing happened when I went to Econ, the teacher had put up a notice sying that she was not going to be there and then just sign the roll. The funny thing was that it was posted by a door that no one in the class uses to come into the class. So apperantly, someone had the brains to go and check to see if anything was posted, because then everyone went to go sign the roll. So after that, I decided to go to Irvine to watch the Hawks take on Concordia University. On the way up to Concordia, I got off the 5 at Camino de Los Mares to check on directions to the Irvine campus. I got back onto the freeway, and had just gotten back into the flow of traffic and passed the CA-1 connector and BANG my right rear tire blows out, I didn't first notice it because of the fact that the road in the area is very rough. I did however, pull over to the side of the road. I nursed the car to the Capastrano VW dealership, where the guys there were very kind and put my spare tire on for me without charging for it (great customer service). I then went three miles down the road to Avery Parkway to get to the America's Tire (or Discount Tire, depending on where in the country you are). I pulled in, they gave me a road hazard credit for the blowout, and I purchased a new tire for a new set of rear tires. i got to the game about an hour late, just in time to see an 11-2 blowout of the Hawks. After the game, I decided to call Jesse up in Lakewood to see what the May household was going to be doing this Thursday night, turns out that they are doing nothing, so I decided to come and hang out with them for the night.

Sports this week:
Monday Night - Cal State San Marcos defeated the SD Christian Hawks 6-5 on a passed ball in the bottom of the ninth. The cool part of the game was that the Hawks doubled thier season total for home runs. This was the first night game in program history, coincidentally enough, CSU-San Marcos was also the first game that SD Christian ever played when they launched baseball last year.

Tuesday - SD Christian defeated the University of Sioux Falls (SD) by a score of 5-4. The Hawks put the game away after scoring three in the bottom of the eighth.

Wednesday - The Colorado Avalanche doubled up the Vancouver Canucks 6-3. This puts the Avalanche seventh spot two points up on Vancouver in the very tight Western Conference. With the win it also moves the 'Lanche to within 3 points of first place Calgary, with only four games remaining.

Thursday - As I stated above, the Concordia Eagles crushed the SD Christian Hawks, 11-2. The Eagles blasted two home runs to defeat the boys from El Cajon.

Friday - The Avalanche will be playing the Oilers, while the Padres are playing the first game of the year in PETCO against the Angels (so CJ & I will be talking about the game).

Saturday - The Hawks will be at home for a double header against Biola. Along with that the Padres will return the favor of hosting the Angels when the two teams play in Angel Stadium (The Big A).
