It is getting close to the end of the semester and it is kind of bittersweet to me. I cannot wait to finish all of my work and leave for our glorious break. And i cannot wait to spend time with people at home and i love christmas. However, i really enjoy my friends here and i am truly going to miss them. I think i might plan a road trip to see some of them over the break so it isnt too bad but i assume that many have things to do over break so it will be hard to plan. I know that i am going to Lake Placid one of the weeks over break which will be fun. Either way the break will be really nice and i am excited.
My Buffalo Sabres just keep rolling through teams. They have a 20-4-2 record and are in 2nd place in the NHL because they haven't played as many games as Anaheim. The whole team is playing well though. I mean they played shaky against Washington but still put up 4 goals. Tonight they play the Tampa Bay Lightning and i am pretty confident we will bounce back from the loss and win. This team is without a doubt going to the playoffs, yes it is early in an 82- game season but they are killing teams and i dont think anyone can stop them. Of course they will lose more games it is too long of a season to not lose. But at this point i would bet on them doing well this season and in the playoffs; besides i want them to. We will see though. Leave a comment if you agree that the Buffalo Sabres are NASTY!
Now that i am back here in Cortland, everything is pretty much the same. But practice for hockey is gonna be intense. This weekend we have a tournament and we all want to win. I am pretty pumped myself, because i am playing in one of the games. I cant wait and it is going to be really intense. This will be only my second start of my career here so i need to be on top of my game. I work hard in practice everyday and during games i have been known to play even harder. I just want to win and prove that i will be able to replace Lasky, one of the starting goalies that is leaving this weekend due to graduation. He was a greta mentor and a good friend. He will be missed by everyone so i really need to prove myself. That is about all for now, i will update you on the game.
Thanksgiving break was awesome. When i first arrived at home i got to see my two best friends in the world. That night i stayed at one of their houses because i was going to high school with him. It was pretty cool, i know this is going to seem cocky and arrogant but i am a legend in my high school; so it was good for me to back because everyone that wanted to see me could see me and i didnt really have to do anything. After school we went to get some food before class for hockey. Now that sounds odd but our high school team has class for hockey. Here the team learns about what forechecks we are gonna run, along with special teams and stuff like that. Anyways, after class we went to practice and i got to skate with my old team. It was really fun. That night i went over to another one of my friends houses and watched the sabres game and that was really fun because we all love the sabres and i havent watched a game with my friends for a really long time. Wednesday i was supposed to go with my friends to MCC but i had to pick up my glasses so i couldn't do that but we hung out later that day after practice (i went again). Thursday arrived and i had the greatest meal of my life. It was all good and i got to play with my cousin and talk to my family. We had it at my uncles house this year and it is really nice so that was fun too. Friday i went to the high school hockey game and saw all kinds of people. I had to talk to so many of them i could barely watch the game. i even knew a lot of people from the other team. Once again, i am a legend; what can i say. That night i went to the Rochester Amerks game with some of my guys and girls. That was fun because i havent seen a live game in like a year and the people i was with made it fun. That night we just hung out and went to ice skating at Brockport college but there was no one there and we left. Saturday i spent the whole day at the mall with my parents, it was fun because we did some shopping and i havent done that in a while either. That night i went to spend a little more time with my friends before i went back to school and we had a lot of fun. Sunday i didnt do much, i juust had to get ready to come back to good old SUNY Cortland. That was my Thanksgiving break, I had fun and did a lot of things. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving to.
Now I know that i havent posted in a long time, however it is because i have planned these out before hand and i am now putting them onto this blog. Nothing much has been going on. Thanksgiving break is coming up and i am really excited. One reason is i cant wait to see my family and friends. I have tight relationships with many people back home and i can't wait to see them. Also, i can't wait for a good homecooked meal, whether it is thanksgiving dinner or not. One of the problems though about being this excited is that i cannot wait to be back. I have so many things to do that week that i can't stop thinking about it. It is almost so bad i can't sleep. But i guess it will come soon enough and i wont have to worry about that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
