Uneventful week

Since next week is going to be packed between the College Fair, an exam, interviewing day and covering a game story I needed to rest this week. The week started out with getting my ass handed to in a one-on-one basketball game against Melissa. Coming into the match-up I feel that my greatest strength is my defense. My physicality is my bread and butter and I have some quickness. Against Melissa my defense did not show up. She kept making shots no matter where she was. She also made some circus shots which always makes me frustrated. I did not rotate well at all and I was not physical, which lead to my demise.
Other than going to class and going to the gym, life has been uneventful until last night. Yesterday was a typical Thursday. I have three classes while going to the gym during my break between class two and class three. It was raining all week, but yesterday's weather just pierced through your body between the rain and the wind. I went back to my dorm at around 7 pm., showered, dried up, read the school newspaper and watched the Celtics game until 10 p.m. and then the dorm lost power. Naturally, there are some people that scream for no reason because they can't see. There are some areas in the dorm that has emergency lights. One hour later the emergency lights went out. Now the dorm is all dark. 15 minutes after, the fire alarm sirens initiated. The procedure when the fire alarm goes off is everyone walks outside and stays out there until the firemen come over and shut off the fire alarm. Since it was still raining outside and was very windy, the hall director, Taras, told us to go to Scott Hall which is right next to Smith Hall. So we all went to Scott Hall and spent maybe 10-15 minutes there and we were allowed to go back to Smith. 30 minutes later, the fire alarm sirens went on again. This time, we waited in the main hall and had to wait for at least 20 minutes for the firefighters to turn off the fire alarms. When the fire alarm was fixed at around 1 a.m., the residents all went their separate ways and went to bed. The power turned back on at around 2 a.m. I did not go to sleep until 2:30 a.m. because when the fire alarm sirens goes on, my room has a light that flashes every five seconds which kept me awake.
Today the university had curtailed operations. It doesn't affect me because I don't have class on Fridays anyway. I have been dragging ass all day. It showed with my performance at the gym. Lifting weights was good, but running was awful. I just need to rest today. I am going to see "Shutter Island" tonight with Melissa and Kendra. I am going because I do want to see the movie and I also want to see Melissa. I haven't seen her since Monday and I am starting to like her a little more whenever I see her.
Mom and Ken are coming tomorrow and I am extremely excited. They are going to arrive at UNH at around 4 p.m. Mom and I will show Ken UNH, then we will have some dinner and then go to the hockey game together. Mom and Ken have never been to a hockey game so it should be a new experience for them. I am excited to see my mom and hug her again. It has been almost five weeks since I have last seen her. The weekend has finally begun!
