It's Friday?

This week just flew. I can't believe its Friday already. I could have used a couple more days. I've been running my ass off just to stay a step behind in school. Next week I have four or so midterms, and am pretty far from being ready for them. I will have to go without a life this weekend.
Tonight is the first night of the hockey classic here in Anchorage. UAA invites a couple of teams up every year for a tournament, so this is the first chance to see our team in action. I'm going with some people from class, my girlfriend has to work.
I turned in my article on military blogs for the school paper. Many thanks to Some Soldier's Mom and TCOverride for their help. I need to do a little tweaking to it before it can be printed. It needs a local flare. I need to find a local blog or someone that reads milblogs to give it the local angle. This is proving to be a little difficult, but I hope an angle or two will pan out.
I have another assignment, not as interesting. I'm writing about a potential fee-hike for the concert board here on campus. That's truly local.
Hockey update: its been a tuff week. Back to back losses early in the week. Actually one may have been a tie, depending on if they got the ref's decision overturned. Last night the ref didn't show up, so we played a scrimmage. It went really well, and the score board said 8-5 at the end. We had the 8. It's not really a win, since it wasn't a game, but it feels good to finish on top.
I dropped a mask off at a paint shop to get airbrushed. I'm pretty anxious about it, its a lot of money to buy a mask and get it painted. I've seen the guy's work though, and it's good. I'm sure it will look good. I'll get some pictures up when I get it, should be in a week or so.
