So I just noticed that if I put the title as a link, you don't know unless you hover over it. Sorry about that. Anyway...
I'm exhausted. I had to deal with some stuff tonight and help people with some homework, and I just really tired. I was planning to do some things, but I'm just now getting back to my room to be alone since the soccer game - when I went to the TV room at 6:45. Having a cool head under pressure is a good thing. Being in the Boy Scouts is also a good thing. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again: "Every boy should at least TRY the Scouts." It'll change their lives. I'm also thankful that I actually do have a cool head under pressure. Critical thinking skills are good too.
I must sleep now.
May a thousand blessings fall upon you.

Shooting, futbol, and ... Christmas?
First time to be called Mr. Jumper by more than one person:
THIS WEEKEND
First time to watch a Christmas movie this year:
TODAY
That's right. I am currently watching Home Alone on TBS. It's not even Halloween yet and they're playing Christmas movies. That's just not right.
I played in my first men's intramural soccer game tonight. It was fun. The season started last Tuesday, but I work on Tuesday, so Sundays are the only days for Ben to play. Our usual goalie wasn't there tonight, so I played. Clark Hall has 2 teams, and I'm on the more competitive one. We won like 6-0 or something. We were so much better than the other team that I only had like 2 shots on the goal to defend. There were a few balls kicked in my direction, but they said I couldn't count them as shots. Tomorrow night = co-ed futbol.
In other news, I went camping with my old boy scout troop this weekend. It was awesome. I love camping. I also love shooting. This weekend, my dad and I were teaching everyone the rifle and shotgun merit badges. It was frusterating because I could only get one guy to qualify on the rifle range (my dad was running the shotgun range). Several other guys were doing well, but their skill level eventually leveled off. They stopped getting better. Oh well...you win some, you lose some.
But the weird thing while I was there was that all the kids were calling me "Mr. Jumper." I tried to tell them that Mr. Jumper was my dad - I'm "Ben" or more formally, "Mr. Ben" not "Mr. Jumper." But they wouldn't stop. Every time I heard someone call out for Mr. Jumper, I ignored them for a split second before I rememberedt that that's me. They can't call me Mr. Jumper yet. I'm not old enough to be a "Mr."
Am I?

I'm so aggravated!
So I'm getting really pissed at my alarm clock. I have an 8am class, so I set my alarm for 6:45. This gives me 15 minutes of snooze, time to take a shower, check some email, and maybe grab a quick bite to eat. In the past, my alarm has failed me miserably. I hit snooze once and it never goes off again, causing me to miss my class. So I switched to my phone alarm, which works perfectly. I went back to my alarm clock last week and it's been working fine. Until today. I hit snooze at 6:45 when it went off, then woke up at 8:51. MAY A THOUSAND CURSES FALL UPON MY ALARM CLOCK!!!
In other news, intramural football playoffs are going on this week. Both the men's team and co-ed team I'm on made the playoffs. Our first games were back-to-back Tuesday night--my working night, so I couldn't go--but the teams we were supposed to play forfeit. Sweet. I didn't miss anything. Somehow the men's team had a bye last night, which puts us in the championship game tonight. But the co-ed team had to play a team called Aggravated last night.
Aggravated is a group of students who have been playing intramural flag football together ever since they arrived here at UNT 4-5 years ago. Each year, they go to the National NCAA flag football championship, where they dominate and win everything. In their history as a team together, they have never lost a game. Last year, we became the first team to ever score against them (which we only did once in the last game against them), and we scored once again this year in the regular season. Each time we play them, they get fewer points against us. They started beating us with like 63 or something. Last night, they only scored 26. It was 8-0 all the way until about the last 3:00, but then they got two quick TDs. MAY A THOUSAND CURSES FALL UPON THAT TEAM! We'll get 'em next year.
