grove city YMCA

Today my friend and I drove up to the YMCA in Grove City to do our service learning for fitness ed class. We got there around 2:15 and I wasnt sure what to expect. I wasnt sure what we were going to be doin i just knew it was helping kids out at the Y. About 50 kids showed up and it was an after school program for kids to be active until their parents picked them up around 5. We played flag football and basketball with them. We helped the counselor control them and get them rounded up because some kids from Grove City high school were going to talk to them about bullying. It ended up being a great experience because i had a lot of fun playing basketball with some 5th and 6th graders. I enjoyed practicing working with kids like a phys ed teacher would. I used to not want to teach in the elementary school but after this i want to. I saw how pumped they were to play football and basketball and you dont get that in secondary schools.

scheduling

I dont know if its just me but scheduling always sucks. Every time i make out a nice schedule for the next semester of all the classes i want and then they fill up so fast. Monday i looked at Math as a liberal art and half the seats were already filled. I need a math to get into the college of ed next semester and now im going to have to take a higher level math because i need one. Im also going to have classes through out the day instead of all at once. I might have class at 8 then not again until 10. I hope some of the classes i want will still be available because i dont want to end up taking only 12 credits.

Pirates Game

Right now i am watching the home opener of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They were down 7 to nothing going into the 5th inning. They scored 3 runs and gave up another run to make it 8 to 5. in the 6th inning the pirates scored 2 more runs to make it 8 to 6. If the Pirates can pull out a win they will be 4 and 3 on the season and please a sell out crowd at PNC Park. Im definately going to watch the rest of this game while i eat because i love the Pirates and i hope they win.

The Final 4

This Saturday college basketball will play the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas. Kansas, North Carolina, Memphis and UCLA will all play for a chance to compete in the National Championship game on April 8th. Kansas beat Davidson in the elite eight to make it to the Final Four. North Carolina beat Louisville. Memphis beat Texas and UCLA beat Xavier. On ESPN.com's national polls the majority of people have North Carolina and UCLA playing in the Championship game. Personally i think Kansas will beat UNC and UCLA will beat Memphis but thats just me. If UCLA wins the championship game it will be about their 12th or 13th national championship ever. If your not doing anything saturday night i suggest you turn on CBS around 6 to watch two great games that will be played

backpacking trip

Yesterday was supposed to be my outdoor pursuits backpacking trip. When we got to the the field house with all our stuff Jeff told he had to resort to "plan C". When he rented the vans for saturday we were supposed to get 2 vans but somehow someone screwed up and all the vans were taken. So instead of going somewhere we went to the high ropes course and set up our tents there. It was fun but i think going to Minister valley would have been a lot more fun. The ropes course was fun because we got to ride the zip line and do the triangle course. I think they need to make the zip a little longer or steeper because it wasnt as much fun as i thought it would be when i got up there and started going down it. It takes a long time to set up all the stuff at the ropes course but i hope we get to do it again.

Pryor picks Ohio st.

last week the highest recruited high school football player decided he would go to ohio st this fall to play football. I thought for sure he would pick michigan because ryan mallet transfered and rich rodriguez has an offense built just for him. I dont know who ohio states qb was last season but i know he was a freshmen and did pretty good so i dont know who will start. I knew he wouldnt go to penn state but thats where i wanted pryor to go. He said penn state was too country for him. State college is a big town so i dont know what he was talking about. I guess because all around state college there is nothing.

outdoor pursuits

This weekend my outdoor pursuits class is going backpacking in minister valley. Most people in the class have never been camping or dont spend time in the woods. Unlike others i am very prepared to go backpacking because i spend a lot of time in the woods because i love hunting, fishing, camping, and just being in the woods. I have all the equipment i need to spend a couple days in the woods. Hopefully it wont rain because no one likes being in the rain especially if its cold out.
