Yawn.

So yesterday was our first playoff game, and I can honestly say that it was the most boring game of my life.

We ended up winning 13-12 with all the points scored in the first half. For defense, in the whole game, the opposing team ran three plays to the side I was playing. On offense I played wide receiver and we had one pass play... which was to the other side... and intercepted... Basically I took up space the whole game. Fun stuff.

In other news, psychology is silly. We are doing a project on help in emergencies and decided to make a little experiment of our own. So I went to a classroom where I did not know anyone under the excuse that I am an exchange student who was there to listen. Then I pretended to have an epileptic attack complete with slipping myself a pill so that I was foaming at the mouth . I am happy to say that my ability to pretend to convulse erratically has not decreased at all in the last 8 months, and they were totally convinced that I was having a genuine epileptic attack. On the scientific note, I was helped immediately and one girl even knew exactly what to do. Oh and yes, this whole thing was my idea.

Losing can be good sometimes.

So as some of you already know, we lost our game. What you all probably do not know is the details, and that is why I am here.

They won by a lot. I got a concussion in the 4th quarter after throwing three interceptions. Alex (the other QB) threw five. Add 2 fumbles on top of that and you get the final score: 50-6. We do not need to talk about this anymore.


But in the end, it worked out nicely. For one thing the second place medal looks a lot cooler than the first place one. Second, losing made people realize that we are not invincible and there are teams that are a lot better than us which is an incredible motivator. And last of all losing put us in a better bracket for the playoffs. Bwhahahaha.

On a totally unrelated note, I finally got accepted to the U of I. Also got an apartment now and will be living at in the 500 block of South van Buren. Coolio.
