Where did this week go? For not having a huge class load, this week sure flew by. This week Campus Ministry hosted our annual Mardi Gras celebration before Ash Wednesday, with pancake races topping the event list at the celebration. Pancake races are particularly fun because I get to make the obstacle course every year. Since this would be the last time, I made the course extremely difficult and the competition was exciting this year with the winners losing their first race only to come back to win it all. It is a blast to see your friends try to complete an obstacle course while balancing a pancake on a spatula.

Yet the Mardi Gras celebration was just the tip of the iceberg. As I am a semi nerd, I love my computer games, and Age of the Empires tops the list of all time best games. So what better time can a guy like me have then to have a bunch of his friends get together and duke it out on the battlefields? I am by far the best among my friends and Chase, Turk, and Cody always have to play a few games just to warm up to face me. 3 v1 is so much fun, especially when you come out the victor.  Of course 3 v 1 is not the easiest thing to do, so having Rachel and Tia come up to distract the guys in their new pjs was brilliant as I sent my knights to flank Chase's army in his moment of disorientation. Haha! Take that Chase!
          

For the second week in a row, we had a crisis on the Mock Trial team. One of our attorneys pulled out leaving a vacancy just a week before regionals. The position fell to me since I am the only one who has the experience and can memorize the needed material in a week's time. So while last week was fun, this coming week will be rough as I spend most of my time learning materials that most of the other teams have been going over for the past few months. However, I am confident that we will prevail.

So if you do not hear from me for a while, I have gone off the deep end never to be heard from again.
