Got Tiger? Apparently Not.

Three weeks. No entry. Surely that can't be right.

I think its more a sign that I have got myself into the swing of things here in the U of A. The past few weeks have been pretty busy, with basketball and study taking up a fair portion of my time. Unfortunately this doesn't leave much time for sight-seeing, but I knew this when I signed up, so I'm more than happy to stick to the task at hand.

The team travelled to Missouri, where we came away 3-2. It was a really good weekend from a basketball standpoint, because I got to play against the two best teams the US has to offer, in Illinois and Whitewater. Whilst there are lots of things that need improving, it was good to know that I didn't get blown off the court, and can stick it with these guys. Certainly a big confidence boost.

One thing I am perfectly happy to admit is that I am completely useless at geography and directions. So much so, that unlike your stereotypical man, I have absolutely no problem in asking for help, in fact its generally advised when travelling with me. That said, I don't care how good you are at geography, it makes little sense that Kansas City, is in fact prodeminately in Missouri and only a little bit in Kansas. That absolutely spun me out. I'm playing the FES (Foreign Exchange Student) card on that one.

The trip also included a visit to a fast-food outlet that you can only get in the mid-west. Apparently they are famous for their 'butter-burgers'. Being the Cheeseburger expert that I am, I was pretty excited by the prospect. I then followed that up with the Sundae from hell. So my heart pretty much took a pounding.

Also I somehow lost a bet, which I'm really sure was a bet, so much as a 'heads I win/tails you lose' situation. The endgame is that I have to die my hair blonde. The upside is that at least I don't have to die my hair blue.

The only other really exciting thing to happen, was an asthma issue. Woke up. Couldn't breathe. Went to class. Really couldn't breathe. Went to medical center. Put on machine for an hour. Breathe better. Given Medication. Week later, totally fine.

Tiger Woods was also in town this week. I had planned to go out and watch him play. Golf isn't really my primary interest, but you have to respect what Tiger does. However the plans hit a snag when Tiger got bumped out in the second round. Lame. Super Lame.

Spring Break is coming up, my options at this stage are either, Mexico or California. I'd prefer Mexico, but would be satisfied with Cali.
