My first B and TEAM USA!!!

Hey there!

Last night I had my second exam in my management class... In the first I got a 91/100 without studying for the test so I just figured I would do the same this time. However, this test was a bit harder and I ended up getting 82/100 which correlates to a B. The teacher is soooo boring in this class that I just can't bring myself to do anything at all and my grades will eventually be translated into pass/fail no matter how good I do over here. Now, I don't wanna complain about getting a B since that is what I usually get back home but I was sorta getting used to all the A's over here ;)

Also, my intramural soccer team made it to the play offs and we played our semifinal last night too. I was a close game all the way and it really could have went either way. They scored the first goal, then I scored to 1-1. They scored again and now Sam made the equalizer to 2-2. Same story again, they scored and Sam equalized. Then I scored and they made it even 4-4.

Now we had to play overtime. 2x5 mins, first goal wins. We owned them hard and Eileen scored the winning goal after 1.30 mins :D

The championship game will be tomorrow night and I can't wait!


I also played a good half an hour session of poker today winning 65$, so hopefully it won't be too long before I will be back in plus even though I probably wont have time to play before I get back home to Denmark.

That's it for now,

Concert, TEAM USA is in the ropes, and NY!

As I wrote earlier I went to a concert with a band called Jack's Mannequin last Friday. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, so I can't show you any pictures from it... I had never heard about the band before but they were actually not half bad - I just wish I had taken some time to at least get to know one of their songs! But the best thing about the concert was the guys who warmed up... They were two guys on stage, one with a guitar singing and another playing on a box. The guy who was singing is called Kevin Hammond and I will bet a lot of money that he is going to make it big one day, or at least I hope so :)


Soccer
Up until Wednesday last week, Team USA was undefeated in the indoor soccer tournament but we only managed to make a draw. So, technically we were still undefeated but tonight we lost the game 4-3 against the number one team. If we had won, we would have been number one in the league but because of the loss we are now 3rd :(


On a side note, I had another exam today in Sociology and even though I only looked over the slides yesterday, I still managed to get a perfect 100 :) So far, the exams have been pretty easy but this one was by far the easiest one! But I shall be the last one to complain about that since I'm on exchange and wanna be able to a lot besides school...


The Big Apple
I also got the plan for the NY trip on Thursday:

6:00am: Depart Bloomsburg
9:30am: Arrive United Nations
10:15am - noon: United Nations Tour and Briefing
Noon - 2:00pm: Lunch at Rockefeller Center on your own
2:00pm - 3:00pm: Travel to Battery Park and Wall Street
3:30pm - 5:30pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art
5:30pm - 7:30pm: Dinner on your own
8:00pm - 11:00pm: Broadway Musical - Memphis (anybody heard if this is good)
2:00am: Return to Bloomsburg


So, it's gonna be a long day but 50$ for the whole thing was just too good an offer! The only thing that is bothering me a little bit is that my new favorite singer, Kevin Hammond is playing at a place called Piano's in NY that night at 9pm and it's free to get in - but I guess that a Broadway show isn't too bad after all ;)

Just to finish off with something that looks good, here is another song by Mr. Hammond:

Team USA still undefeated!

Tonight, we (Team USA) played the second game in a co-ed indoor soccer tournament. My roommate, Lain, asked if I was interested in joining the team. I don't know how much I like the name though. Basicly, it's 6 on 6 with 3 guys and 3 girls from each team playing at a time. Hugo (France), Sam (England) and my other roommate, Tim are also on the team. And I got a pleasant surprise because our girls are so good at soccer... it's actually unbelievable compared to Danish standards! No offense to my Danish readers, but as we all know, Danish girls can't play soccer! At all - period...

Anyways, I couldn't play in the first game (Monday) because I had my !"#¤#"¤# stupid management class that night. However, they managed without me beating the hell out of the other team. When the whistle blew, Team USA had annihilated the other team 12-2 - Well done!

Tonight we had more resistance but we pulled through and won the game 5-2. I can't wait until next Wednesday when, hopefully, we will be 4-0!


What else? Hmmm... have gotten a few more A's on various tests and assignments, so it's all good! Also, today the weather was fine but the next few days it's gonna be between 22 and 25 degrees and sun :D

Finally, Lain is taking me and Hugo to his house this weekend. He lives out in the country side but we're gonna have lots of fun. He has his own pool table and he says he is gonna beat me. I don't know about that though, since I beat him pretty convincingly last time we played... broke the 8-ball in the whole winning the game in one shot!

Then on Sunday (Easter), I have been invited to a dinner at Dr. Ganahl. He is my professor in my Online Journalism class and also PR class. Apparently he invites all his international students on Easter every year. He said I could bring a friend, so I asked Hugo. I look forward to that too since Dr G is a pretty cool teacher.

I think that's it for now...
