For UNCW Football Team

In my opinion, UNCW should most definitely have a football team. School spirit would increase dramatically! Having school spirit makes Universities successful. Having this athletic sport would give students another way to become more involved and connected to campus. This would encourage the students who live off campus in the town of Wilmington to go to games and help support their school. Students would not have to go to other North Carolina Universities just to experience events such as "tailgating." Also, the acceptance rate would be much more competitive because of all the athletes that would want to attend. Another important reason for UNCW to have a football team would be the income. This sport is capable of bringing in thousands, if not millions of dollars. When the economy is in the horrible shape that it's currently in, all Universities are required to make budget cuts for "unnecessary" things. The extra money that football would make could easily support UNCW academically. Money could pay for extra resources to make this school a better place. Having a football team could only help in a positive fashion.

Weekend Extravaganza

So this weekend I am going to Chapel Hill to visit some friends...hopefully, it will turn out better than the last time I was up there. I am so ready for classes to be over and to get on the road.

Thursdays mean..work alllll day. So that's what I am doing, after my lunch break. I work at State Employees Credit Union. I have been there for about 3 years now and I love it. Even though I am the youngest one there, I love my co-workers. I am currently debating on whether or not to take Summer school which would mean that I would have absolutely no time at all to work during the session...this also means no money :-/ I really don't want to take classes during the Summer because I think that it is a time for relaxing and catching up with friends...but what teenager doesn't think like this?

I also have a lotttt of homework that needs to get completed during this weekend, including my final draft of the compare and contrast paper. Looks like it will all have to wait until Sunday when I get back home. Let's just say I am not looking forward to that...

ADD

I am beginning to think that I have ADD because I cannot focus on ANYthing...Sunday night I told myself that I was going to be productive this week and get ahead on all of my work so the work that I will have to do over Spring Break will be limited. I have already had a test this week and I have another one on Friday in Calculus. I think I did okay on the first one, but we will see.

All I can think about is Spring Break and all my friends that are coming home. I am not going anywhere exciting but this doesn't really bother me because my best friend will be here. Thus meaning, I will have plenty of things to do. Not complaining but I find it weird that almost all the major colleges in NC have the same Spring Break as UNCW. UNC, Appalachian, ECU and maybe even more will all be on SB as well. :-)

I do not want to do extra work on top of the regular weekly work that I have to do. This is probably going to bite me in the butt later..but oh well. Another thing that I am excited for is the upcoming warm weather that we have in store for Wilmington. All next week it is supposed to be low to mid 70's. I HATE COLD WEATHER! I just wish that it would stay at a constant temperature instead of teasing us when its warm, and then the next day it is literally freezing.
