Paper Assignment, Winter, and Club Hockey

Back in the library. I have some time before my calculus tutoring starts, so I came here to do some research on my article. My research consists of reading through blogs from Iraq. I'm pretty well read up now, but I don't have my article saved to my thumb drive, so I can't work on it. That's fine, because I really need to do some catching up here.

I got an assignment from the school paper. It was a little vague, so I am adapting it to what I want it to be. Basically I want to write an article on the presence of military blogs from Iraq, so that students can be aware that they can find news about the war somewhere other than CNN. Hopefully I can get all my thoughts down before its due. I have until Saturday.

It's starting to feel like winter here. The temps been in the high fourties, low fifties. I guess that's a pretty far cry from -20, but it sure feels like winter. I could see some of the taller mountains yesturday, and they are pretty well covered in snow now. The lower mountains around town here are getting dusted every couple of days, but the snow isn't really hanging around too long. I'll try to get some pictures and post them, but light hasn't been cooperative. A couple of weeks ago when the semester started the sun was good and up by the start of my math class, 8:30 am. Now the sun comes over the mountains during class. It wont be long, and light will be at a premium.

I found out last night that the other club team goalie is getting his wisdom teeth out today. This means that he can't play tonight's game. I'll be the #1 until he's able to play again. Then we'll go bak to alternating. I wasn't planning on playing tonight's game, so I wasn't really worked up for it. It'll be ok though, just another game. My last three games have been wins. I'm not sure what my win/loss is so far this year, but it's like 3/4, maybe 3/3.

The club team is a strong team. We have lots of talent, and I was shocked at how disciplined the team is. They take coaching well. Last game the coach had them hold back for the first two periods, after two the score was 3/2 us. Third period the coach let the team loose. The game ended 10/2 us. That's some disciple they showed in the first two. We'll see what tonight brings. The game's at 10:30 tonight, so we only had ten players volunteer to play, out of 30.
