Last Week and the First Day of School

Last week was busy. I went Monday to moms to dye her hair. Then that evening I went to Chase's game. The Tuesday Chase and I drove up to Cincinnati for the Cardinals v Reds series. It was awesome. The hotel, not so much. It had a great location and the lobby was super nice. But the we got in the room, it was small, had two double beds, an old tv with a terrible dark picture, and the bathroom had an entire other list of things wrong with it. But whatever, it was only $82 off hotwire, although I am not sure Id ever use that site again. Anywho, we headed to the night game on Tuesday and we could walk there, so that was nice and that part of downtown Cinci is nice. The game was lots of fun, we got there like 30 minutes early and had good seats. About 15 minutes into the game the sun went down the other side of the ballpark and the temperature greatly improved. Even though it was a hot night it was bearable with the sun not beating down. We saw the awesome fight that was started by Brandon Phillips and Yaddy Molina. For those of you who dont watch sports, it was a bench clearer and super long and awesome. Both managers got ejected for the entire game. Then we saw this girl and guy behind us both go head over heels for a foul ball, which was sweet. We also saw a grand slam, had a couple of skyline chili-cheese dogs, and the Cardinals won. Then we went back to the hotel and had a drink and went to the room. We then realized since we werent so hot that we were hungry and got a Papa Johns pepperoni pizza and ate the entire thing. The next morning we got our stuff together and checked out of the hotel. Then we went and bought two tickets off one of the many scalpers. This game was at 1215 on Wednesday and it was super hot. We had tickets in about the same spot which was great. We sat through the first 3 innings then had to get out of the sun for awhile. Once we sat back down with our ice chills, a couple innings later the clouds came rolling in then in the 7th it rained. We had to take a rain break for about 40 minutes then it cleared up and we finished the game. Cardinals won again, we swept the Reds! Then it was time to get on the road home. We got to the 75 71 split in N. KY and 71 S was closed, so we decided to drive past it and get off and drive around the 8 car wreck that was in the way, which is a good thing because even with a 40 minute delay on the detour the road was still not opened when we got to 71 again outside of Warsaw. But it was smooth sailing home for us!
The rest of the week involved work, work and more work, for no money what so ever. I am not going to comment on that any longer since you have heard that before.
Today I went to school for the first day. It sucked to have to get up that early at 640, to leave by 710, to get to school before 8. Gotta love east end to downtown traffic. We had all three of our classes today but the lectures were a little shorter than normal, so we got out at 2, but they said not to expect that to happen again or often. Normally, Mondays we will be there until 4 or 430 at least. I just hope we can get out before 5 when downtown goes to all hell and the drive home takes forever. I really like the teachers and think that it is going well. I am getting to know a few other people in our class slowly and everyone I have met seems nice and fun so far. It seems like there is going to be a lot of information to absorb and mostly it seems like it will be hard to discern what material is for which class because they all sort of cover the same basic information. I am sure it will be more clear as we get a little more into things.
Tomorrow I am going to see JoJo, Chase is going to Illinois with his dad for two days to check out this hunting property he is going to hunt on once or twice in the fall. So, tomorrow night I am going to be lonely and bored it seems, I guess I will look over my school stuff.
