The Week of Leap year and the beginning of March!

Well...

This last week was a very eventful one - probably mostly because BYU soccer tryouts time again (alot of waking up 6:30 a.m. and earlier...) like i said in my earlier post, i went to the Jazz game (see previous post for details). Then Thursday started the tryouts (5:30 is when i woke up...) i did ok, but i didn't even make it past the first cut. Once again though, i feel like that was the best choice; i had all of the rest of my senior year/summer after not straight up making the team last March to work on my game... and i didn't, then i had more motivation in the fall when practicing with the team, but i didn't. So i basically am not very good anymore, but at least the blame falls completely on me. We'll see how easily I'll let go of my dream though...



but Saturday was pretty eventful:
I went to like a floor date thing the girls put on, which was pretty fun - basically just chilling together really. We then had an intramural basketball game (Jordan, and my team - Jon is on it too), we had 9 and the other team only had 5 players, so we beat them pretty easily. but mostly i was happy to score (I'd been on a scoring drought, more accurately a shooting drought) as well as got a block - which always makes me feel good about a game. Then there was a birthday party/dance at a girl in the ward's like relatives house. It was a "shorts" party (I've heard because the guys who's birthday it was are all really short) and so when i happened to be at DI with Harry, Jordan, and Mack D, i bought some basically booty shorts (see pic). It was a really fun party, and i danced it up with my short shorts, bow tie, knee-high socks, and my sneakers. (you can kindof see the end of my shorts in the pic, just imagine where they are in relation to my thigh... hehe...)



Oh and then when we got back we found that someone had been able to get into our room and take our mattresses, chairs, our desk drawer (the whole thing), and our underwear. This was after we had just pranked some other guys by taking their chairs, pillows, food/cupboard that has all their food, their socks, and their drawers. So we knew who did it, and decided to stick it to them and pretend like nothing happened. So come night time, they felt bad because they still had our mattresses, and we just ignored them. Jordan slept on some couch cushions, and i just got alot of blankets and my comforter. I slept pretty well for on a bed frame, and we still have the upper hand on poor old Bennett and Tanner. I'll give some pics that show personality of the two: Tanner is the blond one w/ the jean jacket in the power stance. Bennett is the black haired fellow who's picture needs no explanation. Then the next one is me in Chris's (another guy in the hall) black stretchy suit about to be slapped by Tanner.
