At least the bodies aren't moving

No, I'm not talking about dead people.

I'm taking a study break from Statics...the land of objects in complete equilibrium and thus "static" movement...i.e. no movement at all.

Sounds fun, right? You know you want to take this class.

Thought I'd just get on here and leave a quick little update, but knowing me it'll probably turn into some long, rambling entry that just proves I like to talk about myself and all the stuff going on in my life, or something like that.

The Presbyterian Student Association Fighting Llama football team took to the field last Tuesday night, and as will hopefully be the custom over the next few weeks, I'll continue to leave you updates on how our team did. This week, taking note from our idols, the Clemson Tiger football team, we stepped out on the field this Tuesday decked out in brand new uniforms. No longer were we a mismatched group of royal blue, robin's egg blue, and navy blue warriors without a sense of identity - as we did last week in our tie against Delta Sigma Pi. We felt then that we were truly members of a cohesive unit, prepared to fight tooth and nail to ensure victory over any worthy opponent that crossed our path.

The first worthy opponent to test our mettle and confidence in these brand new uniforms? The Crackers.

What a silly name.

Nonetheless, our feelings of cohesiveness and strength evaporated within minute as the Llamas fell to a quick and painful 14 point deficit. Unfortunately, they got a touchdown on the second play of the game and then intercepted our first pass on the ensuing drive and returned THAT for a touchdown as well. After the intial flurry of two touchdowns however, I am proud to say the Llama defensive unit settled down and held the Crackers to only one more touchdown for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately, our offense was not able to produce, and so, we were forced to concede defeat.

Llamas are resilient. We will bounce back. Next Tuesday night, we take on "under the influence". They've only scored one touchdown in the last two games, compared to our three. It's a battle for the bottom of the table. The stakes will be high. One team will exit the game with a chance to stake its position for the best of the worst teams in the league. The other will simply be the worst team in the league.

Stay posted, and be sure to check back next week! I hope to report that we have achieved a llamarific victory. If that is the case, I am proud to report that will be my FIRST ever victory in any intramural sport since I started at Clemson. Currently, I believe I am 0-15-1 in all intramural sports I've played at Clemson. It must be a record. At least I have learned to be graceful in defeat! Haha.

Oh well, my implant is still kicking butt, and I'm loving every passing second as it continues to just get better and better.

I gave a tour in the rain today, and I actually had to concentrate more on people's questions, because the rain was just SO loud! I'm not used to hearing rain with my implant, so today was definitely an enjoyable experience to hear the patter of raindrops on the umbrellas and to know that the reason I couldn't hear someone was because I could hear TOO well!

Fall break is next weekend...definitely looking forward to headin home for a few days of rest and seeing my family and friends!

Rock on.
