Game on Sunday

The game on Sunday was a little more important than the others. It was senior night, after just a few short months of playing with the seniors we recognized them of their great success at the university. In that short amount of time I have learned so much from them. The game started off well we were dominating play hitting the post a couple times and holding possession. But then on Hartwick's first shot they put the ball in the back of the net stunning our entire team. We tied the game with about thirty minutes left in the second half and then found the go ahead goal ten minutes later to win the game. It was a great comeback win and one that the 5 seniors will remember for a life time.

Thesis Statement

Alienated people that are different than the norms are looked at differently by three main characters in the movie Avatar.

Sleep Deprivation

The Sleep Deprivation play was very interesting, the plot was a little confusing and it ended on a cliff hanger that had me and everyone else in the room thinking. The play was very dark for almost the whole time and when someone was talking there would just be a single spotlight on them. When the set was being rearranged, the characters dressed in all black with masks would make growling noises. I took the play as being a nightmare of a living hell for the young boy who was assaulted by a police officer. The slutty lawyer showed how corrupt and unfair the legal system was at the time and that it could be cheated. The slutty lawyer symbolized how easily it could be cheated as well.

From good to almost catastrophic

My soccer coach granted a weekend free of practice. Which was very nice, a perfect opportunity to go back home for a while. On Saturday, me and two of my teammates went to my girlfriends house. The house was crowded with neighbors and friends. and the best part was my dad and sister were able to make it. We watched the Michigan state game and then watched the Michigan game. It didn't really matter what was planned I was just happy to be home with my friends and family. As it got darker we car pooled to a haunted house. The line took forever, after 2 and a half hours we finaly took our first steps into the empty dark house. Growing up me and my friends have always gone to the same haunted house, "The Haunt". It was just a fun hang out spot for guys and girls. On the way back about halfway from Grand Rapids. A deer ran into the side of the car, it was 2 in the morning and startled the car full of 4 people. Fortunately  just a couple dents were in the car and a couple lights were broken completely and no one was hurt. The cop that arrived on scene was really polite and handled the situation well. A perfect day almost turned to the worst.

Prior to class yesterday, the class was assigned two separate readings. Once class started the class had to take a short quiz on the readings to make sure that every one was reading them and that we comprehended what the purpose of the readings were. After the readings we were assigned groups, each group was assigned a different task. One group had to prove why the mom in Carrie was the biggest monster in the movie. Another group had to prove why Carrie was the biggest monster in the movie. And the group I was assigned to had to prove that the classmates were the biggest monster in the movie. After all the presentations it was easy to see some weaknesses in each. For an argument to be strong you must connect with the audience emotionally, and logically. Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Each argument has to be super descriptive and clear so someone who believes other wise can not find a spot to pick you out on.

Florida Atlantic vrs. Western Michigan

The game against Florida Atlantic was a must win for the soccer program. If we were to lose the season would have been lost. But right from the kickoff we dominated play, the problem was the final third, we were struggling to find that first goal. At half time we lead 2-0, and until 41 minutes into the second half we lead 2-0. The whole game I was just hoping for a couple more games so I would get a chance to get in the game and get some playing time. Something that is hard to get in my position, defenders in soccer do not get subbed to often unless the other team is scoring goals, our defense has been outstanding this year so my chances are very limited. So when I heard my name from the coach I was a little surprised but thrilled, in the last four minutes of the game I was subbed in as a forward to just get some playing time, and on my first touch I scored a goal, less than thirty seconds of being on the field. The pass was perfect and it came from an unselfish play from a teammate, all I had to do was tap the ball into the back of the net. The feeling was great and I was speechless after it happened. Unfortunately my parents were not able to make the game, but I am looking forward to the Cincinnati game on Wednesday.

Class on the 4th

Class today was very easy going, which was a great way to end the long day. In class today we watched a movie called Carrie. In the movie, the main character Carrie is a misunderstood teenage girl, and to many girls and boys at her school Carrie is a little on the weird side. Carrie's mom is a little different than the other moms she is extremely religious but the values she believes in are taken to an extreme level. Carries mom is always paranoid, of the devil possessing Carrie and Carrie sinning which would allow the devil to possess her.

Carrie discovers a hidden power, she has the ability to move objects with her mind. A talent she discovered at school one day when the girls in her gym class were making fun of her. When Carrie gets asked to the high school prom by the "quarter-back" of the high school she wants to go but her mom feels differently. Her mom does not believe in boys and that to be affiliated with one is a sin. After a mean prank at the highschool prom Carrie looses her temper, and the power she discovered is taken to the next extreme, she kills every one at the prom for the cruel joke.

October 1, 2012

Preceding a long night after staying up late and writing a paper, the fitness session this morning was pretty tough. It was an optional fitness session, but in my scenario it was a must for me. For players that do not get much playing time on the field, are suppose to keep their fitness up to par with the rest of the team. So at 9:00 a.m. this morning the day tipped off with a running session. I do not have a problem with this and completely understand why the coaches want the players to do this. However I was disappointed that some of the players I thought that should have been there did not make it to the session this morning. It went well, but today is going to be a struggle to finish through all of my classes and finish up some homework later tonight. Time management has to be a lot better, so there is no more late nights doing homework for the sake of school and doing better in school. And for the sake of my position and role on the team. I need more sleep before practices so i can perform better and have a more important role on the team come game time.
