Yeah, Friday's great but...

I don't understand it...Saturday should also be a perfectly acceptable day for partying. However, people seem like it all has to end on Friday. I don't know if it's some sort of moat party mystique or something, but people devote Saturday during the day to studying, and Saturday night to rest. Rest for what!? The exam coming up on Sunday? Yeah, whatever. This brings me to a bigger point, and that's the expectations by students upon students at this school.

I'm expected to study all day today. If I tell someone that I'm not, it's procrastination. You have a good handle on the material? Doesn't matter, should be studying for another subject. People often forget that undergrad years are 4 years that we'll never be able to get back. So rather than spend all your free exam time studying, how about daring to go out on the night before a reading day. Dare to have fun during these next 10 days. Don't lock youself in a study prison and just succumb to the study demon. Have fun. Enjoy not having classes. Write that paper early so you can go out on Cinco De Mayo! Take study breaks to watch movies, to hang out with friends, or just to watch some crappy TV. Don't be a slave to college exam culture. It's amazing how much better you do the more relaxed you are. It won't just benefit you, it'll benefit your grades...just don't overdo it...

Following the Trend

So, "HOLY SHIT" I've decided to add a new post to my blog. Shocking I know, but I've been really busy over the past few weeks, but since it's the last day of classes, and I'm deciding not to derail really early, I'll post about the favorite sports teams a la Jeff, Jimmy, Dan, Rell, and anyone else who has done it using the Markman rating system:

Critical "would cut off my left hand for this sport" teams:
Carolina Basketball. About all other things, my life is dictated by the months between October and April. It's the overarching reason of why I'm at UNC. I wouldn't have been nearly as interested as I was in UNC if it weren't for UNC basketball. Hate Duke B-ball. Apathetic to State B-ball.

Very Important:

MLB: The San Francisco Giants: Yes. I like Barry Bonds. Yes, I know he's on steroids. Yes, I know he's an asshole. No, I am not a bandwagon jumping Barry Bonds fan. I loved the Giants before they had Bonds, and will continue to long after he's gone. I cried in 1992 when the Giants went 103-59 and missed the playoffs by 1 game bue to a miserable loss in the last game to the Dodgers 12-4. Of course, I hate the Yankees and Dodgers.

Carolina Football, along with other non revenue sports (in particular Women's B-ball, Baseball, Volleyball, Soccer): Crucial to my love for this U (call me KWII if you must), but I just don't get as into it as much as I do for men's basketball. There's just that mystique there.

NFL: San Diego Chargers: A sentimental favorite. My dad loved the Chargers, and therefore, so do I. They are my team forever. Hate: Redskins, Rams.

Important:

NHL: The Lowly Pittsburgh Penguins: I lived in Pittsburgh when I was really young, with my grandparents, and they turned me onto the Pens. Not sure why else I like them. but they suck. They used to be good though, with Lemieiux and Jagr. Hate: Red Wings.

NBA: The Orlando Magic: I don't really care about the NBA, but I like the Magic. I loved T-Mac when he was there, and now I loved Stevie Franchise. Unfortunately, they aren't good either...hopefully Dwight can bring them to prominence. I obviously was the Hornets before they peaced out of Charlotte...used to go to their games all the time. I LOVED that last season before they left. So much emotion from the players. I used to play basketball with David Wesley and Eddie Robinson...very cool.

Cursory Interest:

NBA: Pistons: Rasheed is probably second to T-Mac in favorite players. Add in Larry Brown, and my idol, Ben Wallace (cause he, like me, can't shoot), and their hardcore D, and I like them.


And that's it...

Poll: Should I keep blogging? Let me know, yes or no with some feedback comments...
