Summer Keeps going

This is the part of the summer when most of the fun and unusual things end and work and stuff keeps rolling. This is where I am now, and it is not that great.

I am working with the hooks all the time now. Every game, I am there, working down in the tunnel area now. I still like the people there and I think they still like to see my face, haha. Check out the schedual along wit promotions and score updates at www.cchooks.com

I was supposed to help the football team a bit at my old high school as an assistance summer coach, but that hasnt worked out too well thus far. Hopefully I can put more days into it as my baseball schedule waves around.

I started an accounting class at Texas A&M Corpus Christi on the 7th of July. The class is exactly 1 month long, so I will finish it the 7th, giving me plenty of time before going back up to Ann Arbor. It is the intro to financial accounting, acc231 transfer to Michigan. Econ101 just ran me over in Michigan. It was my only C- and it was so frusterating. Accounting is supposed to be 4 times harder. Remember, Michigan has the number one business school in the nation. All the basketball managers told me to take it at my local college during the summer. So that is what I am doing...I ended up having my first midterm on the 16th...it was THE EASIEST test I have ever taken in college! It was rediculous! Super easy! I got there 5 minutes late, everyone had started, and I finished befroe most people...I mean, it took me 10 minutes to do! ¡Dang! But hey....I have no complaints. I really want an A to carry back up with me to Michigan. I have yet to make an A, only a few A-s so it would be nice.


I have to back track a few weeks ago to the Wimbledon Finals. That was THE MOST AMAZING FINALS I HAVE EVER SEEN! Federer is always the man. His stroke is so smooth and he can place it just about wherever he wants. Nadal is the come up kid, the fresh legs, still working his way up the ranks, and in this case, is #2 in the world...Nadal won the first 2 sets, needed 1 more, but in tiebreaker in the 3rd, after winning in the tiebreaker, Federer comes back and wins the 3rd. In the fourth, same case...Nadal needs one more, is doing excellent, but Federer manages to grab his second set with the tiebreaker win. It is amazing to consider how somone so dominant as Federer only won his 2 lone sets by tiebreaker. But in the 5th set...it was beautiful. Nadal just wisking his way, win point by point until his biggest challenge, the All-England Club, was finally his for the record books. Truely an awe-inspiring match. Amazing. I will never forget this one. And let me tell you, neither are the fans or the sport junkies...this one was all over ESPN after it was over. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/wimbledon08/news/story?id=3475473


Well, people, I want to hear your words...what do you want to talk about? Table tennis? The Olympics? Team USA Basketball? What do you want?
