Quick Update + Web Redesign

I've been working really hard to change this pattern of laziness since I've been back in Tuscaloosa. I know I've blogged endlessly about this. I think it's really important to be able to get stuff done though and to be able to be relied upon by others. I still have a long way to go though. As I write this, we are in our tenth week of classes at The U of Alabama. I just got back from Target where I bought groceries for only the second time for the semester. It's laughable how embarrasing this is. Also, I am completely unorganized. I have all of my shit from all 5 of my classes in one, like, 49 cent folder that I found lying in my room at the beginning of the semester. Luckily, I've been able to find everything when I've needed it and I've still been able to do really well in classes. I long for the rewarding feeling that I used to get from being completely on top of everything. Also, my schedule is so weird because I have classes during the day then have to come home to take a break before going to my night classes. This kind of sucks, but it's a product of me waiting until the last minute to register for classes this semester. I'll set up something nice for the Spring. Ok I'm rambling.

This past weekend was a really great time. Some friends from Birmingham came in town and the whole weekend was insane. We got the scare of our lives from Ole Miss despite being up 24-3 at the half. Bama played horrendously in the second half and was held scoreless but able to fight off a potential game winning drive from the U of Mississippi to hold on 24-20. We're now 7 and 0 and still ranked second. I'm almost positive I'm not going up to Knoxville for the game against U of Tennessee next weekend. I'll likely go to Birmingham, so if anyone wants to chill this weekend lemme know.

Quickly, a poker update. As usual I'm playing only on Sundays. I played this Sunday and lost a little bit. The highlight (lowlight?) of the evening was a 13th place finish in the 100r on Stars for insignificant money. Oh also I got some of the best (financial) news of my life the other day when I learned that money I thought I'd invested in a mutual fund was never entered into the fund (per my laziness not responding to mail from my broker). Therefore, I didn't lose the 30 percent market downfall value and thus saved myself a really sick figure. I'm leaving it in there very long term, so it's basically just a paper figure, but still.

Gotta go to class.
