Fall Break

The first half of the semester has been really intense. I've been caught up with class work, club meetings and other obligations and its not even yet winter! But anyway I was able to cool off abit during fall break. I was able to go up to Madison to hang out with my aunt and cousins. It was cool, although mood at the time was a little bit off. University of Wisconsin lost to Penn. State 48-7 ouch, word is they haven't had a defeat like that since 1989. It was interesting seeing all the wisconsin fans in all red leaving the stadium and walking all aggrevated.
Anyways Madison was fine, but I spent most of my time here on campus. It was nice and peaceful as most of the students had ventured off either back home or elsewhere to take a relaxing break. I spent most of my time catching up on other work that I hadn't touched upon since the summer. I updated my work on the katrina project and looked back on some transcrpits on some of the interviews I had conducted this past summer. On the other hand I also had some time to catch up on sleep. It had been a while since I had gone to bed at around 9 or 10pm, so i took the opportunity to respond to my deprived-self. I also caught up playin "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"!!. Ok i dont mean to brag, but this is probably the best simulation of morden warfare to date. This game just blowed my mind with its visual effects and graphics. The first person shooter can gain access to some of the moderm weaponry that you would find in present time. The game play gives you an opportunity to act as a special opps, a soldier in the army and you get to view the story in two views. They focused a lot on the light effect and how reflects, bounces off certain objects. One of the coolest things about the game is when a character has taken damage, the edges of the screen glow red and the character's heartbeat increases!!!
