Hey Everyone! Happy Leap Year day!! I am writing on a day of big activity on campus! As I type, there is a huge Pep Rally going on to celebrate our men's basketball team going to the PAC Championship tonight!! We are playing Gwynedd-Mercy in our gym, and it was really tough for people to get tickets, as there is a limited amount of space availiable. Unfortunately, I will not be going to support our Macs tonight, as I am actually going home. In addition, the Senior ball for the seniors is tonight, and as my girlfriend is a senior, we were going to go, and decided not to. So, on and off campus, Immaculata will be bustling today and tonight! I wish the best of luck to the men's basketball team as they go against Gwynedd-Mercy tonight!
As for next week, Mr. IU is next week, and I'm entering the competition. It's like Miss IU in the fall, but with guys, and it's always a good show!! I still have to work on my talent. So, if youre in the area next week, I need all the support I can get ;)..ha..anyway.until next week!!

It took a while, but a full snow day has finally come around to Immaculata..even though it landed on a day that I only have one class! So, otherwise, I can't win with getting a lot of classes off..ever!! Anyway, the big event on campus now is that our men's basketball team got to the playoffs!!! We played a very tough game against Eastern University, with both sides there in full fashion at our gym to cheer for their teams. MAC and the cheerleaders were there in full fashion, cheering on our Mighty Macs. And, we won by ONE point, 64-63, so the school was in amazing spirits!! I look forward to the playoffs next week!!
Other than that, I have nothing to report on what is going on in my life, or at least what's coming my way. I'll keep you posted.

Well, last night there was a mini snowstorm followed by freezing rain, which left a sheet of ice on the ground. As I was walking back to my room last night from my girlfriend's room, I realized how slippery the ground actually was, as I fell on the ice not once but twice. Therefore, I, along with the rest of the student body, was wishing for no classes! However, we still managed to have classes today, even with the melted ice and puddles around! But, that's what I'm here for I guess!!
Last Friday, I helped run a Movie Night for Valentine's Day in which we showed Hitch and License to Wed, both really good romantic comedies. We had a good amount of people show up too, which was great!! Also, on Saturday, I went out with my friends Laura and Betsy and we tried the local cuisine at Carraba's, which, if you come to Immaculata, you must go to because the food is excellent!!! That was practically my weekend, but I have a bunch of homework, a dinner trip home, and a IU girls basketball game this Saturday!! By the way, our guys basketball team is doing excellent this year, and I think you all should come down and see how good they are doing! Hopin for the championships this year!!! Well, until next week!!

As February sets in (Phil said theres going to be six more weeks of winter, John McCain, Hilary Clinton, and Barack Obama knock out the primaries on Super Tuesday,), I'm starting to feel the pressure of my classes bearing down on me like I havent felt for a while! I have a lot of reading to do, especially for my history classes, so every week its like a project finishing those books. Also, I have these little assignments that just seem to pile up out of nowhere and decide for you that time spent less with friends, videogames, and Sarah, my girlfriend, come by. Ah, the life of a college student!
Anyway, Lent begins today, as Ash Wednesday was celebrated at IU today! Many people, including myself, have ashes on our forehead reminding us of our small existence on Earth. As for what I am giving up this Lent, I have decided to give up root beer, which, if you know me, is a huge sacrifice, as I would drink it all the time. Right now, I am doing fine, but soon I will come to savoring the flavor of root beer on Easter. Well, I have got to get ready for my Theology class, Intro. to Christian Ethics, so I will leave it at that.
