The Stony Brook Phone Call

This undergrad calls me to ask for money to donate to the "Parents for Students" Donation, where my parents-> The struggling minorities, are to donate what little money they have to a school where we already pay full tuition because we aren't poor enough for financial aid. This isn't the first time I have been called from Stony Brook asking for a DONATION. So I say to the girl on the line.. "I am sure you have some sort of list that you scroll down and call each one, speaking to parents, asking for their hard earned money, now can you get me off of it?" She says "NO, I would have to speak with your parent, so I won't get in trouble with my supervisor" I decide to be an asshole. I know what your thinking, its not her fault.. but you know what she decided to take on this awesome job for whatever student council club memeber she is and I have a gut feeling this chick on the phone's parents have donated a hefty fund to our "PARENTS FOR STUDENTS" little donation club. So I ask her.. Are you midterms? she replies.. yes. I responde with "Thats great so am I, and you would you like to know what I was doing before you called?" She replied ..okay. "I was studying for my midterms. You know.. it's 8:35pm on a tuesday night, and I have to study because I don't have the time to volunteer for useless clubs where I solicit parents for money, because I have to work two jobs." She responds "okay I get".. I say "do you get it? really? really? cause I have the feeling that you may call me again." She goes to say "Well, I can't take you off the list because my supervis-" I hung up.

Stony Brook going to the finals!

Today Stony Brook beat Vermont in the semi-finals of our conference tournament so we get to move on to the finals. This is Stony Brooks first appearance in the finals. We were the underdogs going into today's game with Vermont being the regular season champions. But stony brook looked pretty impressive today with some good defense and long range shots. The final score was 69-47 with stony brook leading for the entire game.

Stony brook is going to verse either Boston university or Hartford this Saturday depending on whichever team wins tonight. If it turns out to be Hartford then the game will played at stony brook which would be awesome and I'd definitely be going to that. Either way it should be a good game and hopefully stony brook will win and then we'll get a bid in the NCAA national tournament which would be cool.

Blogging

Now that I have been blogging (over and over again) I feel like I am complaining about a lot of things.

Why does blogging make everyone look at the negative? Truthfully, I do not see it as a necessary tool. Why am I doing it? Is it because it is what everyone else is doing it or is it because I may get asked in a job interview if I bog? Perhaps I am just a zombie and I need to do it to get a good grade in this class?

I personally do not feel the need to put my feelings on a blog site for everyone to see and I never read anyone's blog. I don't really care what people think.

But as I go through the process (like a Zombie) I am going to make an effort to have an optimistic look on things. So, all you bloggers out there, stay tuned.
