That's about all that needs to be said for this weekend. Matt Moore threw 6 interceptions and fumbled the ball with a minute to go while we were in field goal range. So fuck you Matt Moore... redeem yourself at Washington.

Meanwhile, I just took my Astronomy midterm. I'm thinking a B... maybe A. I made some educated guesses on a few, so we'll see how those pan out. Overall it was harder than I anticipated.

Tomorrow I have my math midterm from 6:00pm to 7:20pm. It's going to suck. According to various people, this professor's midterms are incredibly hard... so that will be a party.

Looks like President Bush nominated another douchebag to the Supreme Court. The next few weeks should be interesting.

Today is Halloween. I don't care anymore because I don't get free candy.

Last weekend the Beavers beat #18 California on the road, so that was good.

But then this weekend they got stomped 51-28 by #8 UCLA, so that wasn't so good. It was to be expected though, so that's okay. They still have four wins and only need to win two of the next four to become bowl eligible for the fourth straight year.

College has been going good. I had my first midterm last week and scored 96/100... but it was "Families in Modern America" not Calculus or anything. That will own me. I can feel it.

Today I went and saw both Grandmas (went back to Tualatin for the weekend). They both enjoyed the company and it was good to actually drive again. Especially when the gas is free.

Great Kenny Experiment: Day IV

He actually did the bottle recycling and cardboard about two hours after I posted the first day's report. Yesterday, after I got trash bags the night before and handily set them next to the trash, he took out the trash. So, the result of my experiment: four days. Not bad. I now shall commence trying to get the trash out before it overflows so much you can't even tie the bag shut.

The Great Kenny Experiment: Day I

Well so far I've been the only one to take out the trash, recycle bottles, etc. So I'm going to let the shit pile up and see how long it takes Kenny to do anything about it.

Also notice the three shoebox sized cardboard boxes piled near the trash can. All his. Did I mention I had to empty the trash last time and couldn't even close the plastic bag it was so packed? Oh, and I had to get a new plastic bag four days later after nothing happened. Watch for day two, this could get interesting.

Last Saturday I went to the Oregon State football game against the Washington State Cougars. The first half was shaping up a lot like the Arizona State game. We were getting lit up like no other in the secondary, the offense couldn't punch it in the endzone, and the Cougs looked like they were going to embarrass us.

Then came the second half. Something happened... the CBs started looking for the ball, the offense started to roll.. and the Cougs couldn't handle the pressure. Playing cupcakes (games that are essentially over at halftime) does not prepare you for Pac-10 play.

When Sabby picked off that pass and took it to the house for a TD, the Beavers were back. We were going to win. I could feel it. The crowd came alive, and the once lifeless Beavers were jumping up and down on the sideline.

The Hass 63 yard touchdown bomb. Wow. I thought Moore was going to be sacked and you could almost hear the collective groan of Beaver Nation. But no, Moore jukes Derting and LAUNCHES the ball downfield. Everyone takes a breath... silence. The ball falls into Hass' hands and all hell breaks loose. Holy crapola, the Beavers lead 37-33. Just watching the crowd in the background of that replay... wow. The place exploded.

The Beaver defense then clamps down and stops the Cougs with a few INTs. Reser was rocking ala Boise State towards the end and with the 10 yard QB sneak, the game is offically over. The east side gives the "croc chomp" right back to the Cougar crowd as time runs out.

Another great come from behind win. It looked so dim at halftime, but what an electric second half. The most exciting half of football I've seen since the 98 Civil War. Great game to attend, once that I will never forget.

Oregon State 44, Washington State 33

Well, it's been over a week since I've posted. I decided to get off the whole "every Monday" thing... yeah. I'll try to post more, it's just that I've been pretty busy.

Last weekend was the football game versus Arizona State. Oregon State got beat pretty bad, but it was still fun. This weekend's game against Washington State should be a big one, and I expect it to be pretty close like Boise State. Should be fun. And it's almost here!

Classes so far have been good. I'm really happy I took Astronomy, not only does it appear to be very easy (no homework), but it's something that actually interests me. So when the professor announces we're going to spend a whole lecture on each planet, lots of people moan, but I'm like "yay!". Anywho, I'm also in MTH241, or "Calculus for Business." So far it's just review and has been easy. I expect it to get harder, but nothing that will blow my brains. I know a few people in there so we can study together and whatnot.

I also have "Modern American Families" class. It's very easy, and pretty interesting. You basically have to show up and have a tenth of your brain working. The professor is very blunt and to the point, so it's excellent. Upsets the more sheltered in the class, which is fun to watch. Anywho, that class also has minimal homework. I'm also in a "college adjustment" class worth 1 credit with that same teacher. Basically you show up and get an A, so yay.

There is still one class I have not been to. WR214, or better understood as "Writing for Business." It only meets once a week, but for 2 hours and 50 minutes. It starts at 7pm and goes to 9:50pm. So that will be a marathon. But with the quarter system, that means I only have to go to it 10 times and then I'm done. Probably will be my hardest class in terms of homework/actually having to apply myself, but it will be fine. I tested out of all freshman required writing/literature classes by taking the AP English test this last spring. So basically I'm getting my sophomore writing stuff out of the way and will have only one more writing class after this one.

College has been good and I've been enjoying it. The dorm life is good as well, it's not that bad once you get settled in and adjusted to not living in 2200 square feet. We also discovered the West Dining Center, which is a really nice place to eat, albeit a bit of a hike (10 minutes).
