Friday: After lunch and stopping by the bank on Friday, I went to go pick up our Intramural shirts from Jo-Dee’s. I get there about 3pm and all 65 shirts are “finished.” Well, not quite, they accidentally taped off the bottom of the design and didn’t screen “Athletics” on the bottom of the logo, so they had to rush them to the back in the next 2 hrs while I hung out at the Student Center waiting for them to be finished in time for the Staff Retreat so that I could hand out a good majority of them to those that placed orders. The Staff Retreat was great, I am so pumped about getting to be a Dad at RA #31, I sure hope everything goes well. After Staff Retreat we stop by Hollywood Video on 82nd and visit Kevin S. who had to work and wasn’t able to make it to Staff Retreat. While there we pick up Mean Girls and Mystic River, we end up getting forced to watch the former, due to all the girls that were present. By the time the movie was over and we were done talking it was nearly 3am. And I still had to try to sleep a little bit before the Red Raider Road Race!

Saturday: Well, I woke up quite possibly the earliest I have ever woken up on a Saturday in years. Me, Mark, Pat, and Mike ran the Red Raider Road Race at 8am. I had so much fun, it was only a 5K and it was the first time I had ran in nearly a month, but it was still good. I got 101 overall and 7 in my age division of 20-24, Mike got 5 in our age division and Mark got 8, I don’t remember exactly what Pat got, but he did much better than I. After the Race was Jorge’s sending off breakfast at Josie’s, he is heading back to Mexico, but he really wants to find a job here. Then it was back to the pad for some much needed rest. I slept, woke up, took a shower, watched a little TV, and slept some more until Sadie called me at 4:30pm letting me know they were on their way over and that I needed to wake up and get ready for the football game at 6pm. It is so awesome having season tickets and not having to get to the game extremely early. Well, I’m sure you all heard about it, but in case you didn’t, Texas Tech whomped on Nebraska 70-10, our points by quarter were 7, 14, 21, and 28, we just decided to score 7 points more per quarter than the one before, can’t argue with that. After the game we all went to Rosa’s for a little bit, the crew there was eventually Me, Laura, Sadie, Mike, Mark, Brian, Pat, Andy, Abby, Cori, and Adam. After that we went over to Pope’s for a little bit and watched some College GameDay Final and instead of saying what a great game Tech had, they just focused on how BAD Nebraska played, thanks guys!
Sunday: I end up sleeping ’til around 12:15 when Mark calls me to get my butt up to the Student Center to work on our super secret, super awesome Table Staff skit, trust me people when I say this, our skit will blow yours out of the water, no contest! After several hours of rehearsal we have a very good part of it down and soon will fine tune it over the week in preparation for a dynamite skit. I then went back to the apt and contacted many a CSA’er reminding them of softball at 7/8pm after Mass so that we would have enough people show up. Then it was off to the pre-Mass Rosary, Mass, and then off to the softball fields to begin the CSA softball domination. The co-rec game at 7pm was quite exciting, we ended up the game in a 4-4 tie, which is much more than I could ask for considering it was the first time we had played together. Then immediately after the guys team played. That game wasn’t so much exciting as it was high scoring, the other team had only 8 to our 10 players but it was basically a slug fest. The final score? 20-19, CSA wins! Then we had a 1 hr break between the end of the softball game and the co-rec football game, so I gave the rest of the game shirts to Phillip since he was going to be there early and the crew of Me, Brian, Holly T., Sadie, Sarah, and Angela went to Rosa’s for dinner and then headed over to the football Rec Fields. It was a hard fought game with a time expiring, game winning touchdown from Phillip to Kandis making the final score 18-9. The lovely ladies Sadie and Angela “thuggin’ it”
Monday a.m.: So I woke up early this morning and went to Daily Mass, which is especially important this week because of RA. After Mass I went back home, got dressed for the day and headed to Express Staffing Services to put myself into consideration for several open positions all around Lubbock. Then it was off to Sonic for breakfast, seeing as there is nothing to eat in my apartment. Then I had to go to Wentz Orthodontics to reschedule my retainer fittings for tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2:30pm because I forgot to wake up for my 7:30am appointment last Thursday morning. And now I’m at work. I have an interview later today at 1pm with NTS Communications at their corporate office, so hopefully something will come of that, but your prayers would definitely be appreciated, everyone have a great day and God Bless!
