My brain is weary from studying for my Sociology test so I thought I would take a break and throw a couple more photos up here.
Both of these are cropped a little abnormally. I wanted to show Cooper Hall in the background of the photo on the left; it is a really neat old building.
Once again we are graced with a single day of good weather here in Lyons/Sterling KS. I took full advantage by going out to the Warriors baseball game, and snapping a photo or two hundred. As usual for Sterling the wind was whipping around like crazy and I feel like all of my skin is covered with a nice layer of dirt. The Warriors easily defeated Central Christian University.
After the game I came back to Lyons and spent some more time outside walking with a little jogging too.
The rest of the week will be pretty busy; basketball, more baseball, and the Hesston indoor tournament this weekend. I hope the weather stays on the reasonable side for the remainder of it.
The past couple of games I have had some amusing interactions with Coach Morris' daughter who is at the extreme silly age. I was kneeling down shooting photos by the entrance to the gym so she came and sat down next to me with a bag of popcorn. Obviously she dropped some pieces here and there but out of the corner of my eye I saw her snatch a piece off the gym floor and eat it. I immediately interrogated how she could possibly eat popcorn off the filthy gym floor."If I eat it fast enough it's Ok!"
Speaking of silly.. here is the home crowd doing the "Cheerleader Pose" aka Spirit Fingers(Good luck for the free throw shooter)
Depending upon age may determine your answer to that question, but in this case it is Play Inside.
This weekend was the annual Barton indoor tournament out circa Great Bend KS. I did not go and watch the girls play but from what I heard I was probably better off watching the baseball game. Sterling had two men's teams that entered and although some of the games were awesome to watch they failed to make it to the finals. I'm not sure why I took the camera since I knew my photos would not turn out, but we might as well try. There were definitely some photos that I really wished would have worked out because they would have been awesome!
It was plenty nice out today so I actually put on the sunscreen and headed out to catch a double header for the men's baseball team. They delivered a brutal 19-1 win over Hutch Community College in the first game. I got bored and was hungry waiting for the second game to start so I headed back home to enjoy the rest of the day with some pizza and a nice long walk.
I spent last night doing a photo shoot for the newspaper covering the CAB (campus activities) Coffee Night. It was actually pretty fun to hang out at.
It was a little difficult to take photos because they turned off most of the lights except over the performers and left little tea candles and Christmas lights on the floor for people to get around by.
The music was great; several people played guitar, piano, and an amazing spoons and poetry performance. It kept me up a little late but that's ok because they had a wide variety of Coffee, Hot Chocolate, and Apple Cider to keep everyone happy. (and some really awesome snacks!)
Wow there are so many things to blog about today!
Obviously today is Groundhog Day, the holiday that could be either good or bad depending on the weather. This year it turned out to be double bad..
1. It is really cold this morning.. bah
2. The Groundhog saw his Shadow..No early Spring.. Bah!In other news the Super Bowl was awesome to watch even though I was rooting for the Cardinals and they lost it was still quality entertainment right down to the end! Pepsi had both the Best and Worst commercials in my own opinion.(raise eyebrow now) I was highly disappointed with the MacGyver spoof attempt with R Dean Anderson trapped on an exploding ship. My favorite being the Diet Pepsi commercial with guys randomly getting beat up by their friends; good old slapstick for the win.
More stuff to Blog about but it is time for me to go back to class!
The image is my desktop background, something I threw together real quick this weekend.
Nakupenda is "I love you" in Swahili.
