OMG. Normally, I don't watch football, but last night's Oklahoma vs. Boise State game was by far the best one that I have pretty much EVER seen. The ways Boise State came out and dominated for the first three quarters was extremely impressive and their final two possessions, including the pass on 4-18 that went for a touchdown and the OT touchdown that ended in the Statue of Liberty (http://youtube.com/watch?v=lmy1jQRaqGw&mode=related&search ) 2 point conversion.

And people don't televise this team more? I bet a lot of people, after this game, will be calling for more Boise State games, and more inclusion for really astounding teams like this one. I heard that their quarterback was a senior, and I wonder if he might come for a fifth year just to keep that really strong kind of game alive.

That was far more exciting than USC-Michigan, which my dad had on throughout the day, as well as the other ones that were one..Wisconsion-Arkansas? West Virginia and someone and Nebraska and some name like Audobon...Auburn. That's it. I would look for a couple of minutes and they were pretty boring looking.
Why did I watch? Well, for years I had this obsession with Idaho. For like 4 years, I wanted to move to Idaho, become a potato farmer and eventually a senator. I know, talk about a change of events. For the first two years of high school I intended to go to some university in Idaho, either Boise State or the one in Lewiston. I know the geography of the state pretty well, and all these weird facts. Plus, this year Oklahoma (actually it's in this next week) celebrates its centennial, and I wanted to know if that would provide motivation. Obviously, it didn't provide enough. Everyone looks over certain states, Idaho, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Alaska, Montana, Vermont, etc. and it's nice to see the little guy whoop up on the big one.

So I was looking at various graduate college information things and I was surprised to see that I could go to any university in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico with a certain GPA--3.0 in most cases, but in the larger states, like WA and OR, I need a 3.7--and pay in state tuition costs because of the Western University Exchange program. I looked on our National Geographic Map which gives all these random things like colleges, geological sites, etc. and Colorado only has 12 universities worth mentioning. Comparatively, South Dakota has 10, North Dakota, 9, Nebraska, 12, Wyoming, 1, Montana, 7, and New Mexico, 10. Colorado has about an equal population to all of those states COMBINED. Of course, there are probably more, like the Buddhist college that's like a block from CU-Boulder--Naropa University--which has 10 degree programs in like "Traditional East Asian Arts" and has a core which includes "the artistic process" and the "mind-body connection". I walked by the place, it's seriously like two buildings that are about 3 stories high at most in a residential area. Not high on my list of schools that I would ever consider.

Ok, so today, I have to do things. In a couple of hours, I have to go to the dentist and at some point today, I probably should get a haircut.

maybe tomorrow on the hair cut.

I'd like to pick up some kind of craft thing. Sure, I paint (not very well) and I cook (pretty well, for such a novice), but I'd like to do something else. I'd like to start something like cross-stitch or knitting, or something like that. Apparently, it increases patience, which I seriously need.

Anyways, I need to do things like bathing and grooming before I go to the dentist.

And I need to think about college things eventually, but not right now.
