Snnow dayy (:

So yesterday (January 12th, 2010) we had a snow day! surprisingly.... cause usually Bedford NEVERRR closes. So anyway, I woke up from my friend jumping on me because it was around 12-1 o'clock. After that we had to go outside and shovel the driveway which ended up in a snowball fight. After that I left because she wanted to go snowmobiling and I couldn't because I had my last appointment for the fracture in my growth plate in my ankle. After I got my x-rays he told me new bone was growing, and then he used tons of big words I didn't understand... and then he released me to play full time for basketball (: After that my mom and I went home and I made brownies while my mom made dinner, being it was my dad's birthday we wanted everything to be done when he got home from work. And pretty much the rest of the night we celebrated his birthday. (:

I think it was completely wrong of the shooter to do anything like this. I think its stupid that he killed so many people and injured just as much, but he said nothing while he was doing it...sort of like he was enjoying it, or at least that's how I see it. Once he was held down on the ground by someone who had to fake being dead, because obviously he didn't want to be killed by this physio, so once he was being held down, once again he said nothing. He showed no sign of a struggle at all, because well, he knew that even if he did there was security that saw him and he knew that even if he ran he wouldn't be running for long because he would have gotten caught.

I don't know what else to say right noww, so this is it (:

Basskkettbballll.

"Basketball is basketball, but basketball is also a sport where the physical differences in talented players shows up the most"
The blog that I read was all about scholarships that are given out and how they think its "unfair" to their school because they can't afford to give out as many as a Division-1 school.
The UConn's basketball team has a 90 win streak, but once they were asked to play a division-1 men's school with a 19 loss streak they thought they would have a nice easy win. 
Something that really stood out to me was, "I respect women's basketball, but the differences in the men's college basketball game and the women's college basketball game would be too much for them to overcome to beat a Division-I men's college basketball team. In a one game playoff, I think the men win."
I found this interesting because of all the comments on there, such as "I wonder if Gene Wojciechowski ever bothered to put the question to Geno Auriemma himself. Because I imagine he'd have told Woj that his women wouldn't stand a chance."
Something else that I found very interesting was that the Division-1 team was a men's basketball team! I was surprised that they would allow the guys to play the girls on a college level.
