Sundays are usually reserved for relaxation, for groaning because Monday brings school or work or waking up early to take your brother to school... But I digress. So I wanted to talk about things this week that have made me happy and what I'm looking forward to this week. Ready? Okay!
1) Hockey is BACK! Well, almost. I attended the Ducks' training camp the past two days and it gets me super-excited for the season. Getzy and Perry were pushing each other (playfully, of course!), Bobby Ryan was goofing around with his teammates, Hiller was nearly back to his best (but vertigo is scary to have for a starting goalie), and my personal favorite Dan Ellis, is on top of his game! I also found a couple of players to watch out for (crossing my fingers that they make the team): Andrew Gordon and Mark Bell.
2) I start school on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous (I know an actual university is different from a community college but I'm not quite sure what those differences are yet and as such, can't prepare) but the closer it gets, the more excited I am. I am planning to go to sporting events (Why can't UCI have a football team? Why?) and socialize. I'm hoping that UCI is where I'll belong, not just for academics but because I care about the school as a whole. Plus, there's a bunch of cool activities during Welcome Week including screening X-Men: First Class on the Green.
3) Demi Lovato's new album comes out on Tuesday. I love her, her voice, and her songs, and I am looking forward to hearing what she has to offer.
4) TV. I'm a confessed couch potato who works out, okay? All my favorite shows premiere this week (Community, The Office, Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family) and new shows that I'm looking forward to checking out (Whitney, Two Broke Girls, The New Girl, The X-Factor, Last Man Standing) and new shows that I checked out last week that I like (Free Agents, Up All Night). Granted, I will/have watched a lot of these on my computer because I can't watch everyone at once. I'm sad that I have to wait until October for Bones and all year until True Blood. But I'm sure some shows (and hockey) will tide me over.
5) Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper by Geoffrey Gray. You know my love for Depression-Era gangsters. D.B. Cooper is kind of like that, but for the 1970's. He's polite and charming and jumped out of a flying airplane with two hundred thousand dollars strapped to his chest on a rainy night after threatening to blow up said plane with a bomb. No one was harmed and to this day, nobody knows who Mr. Cooper really is. I love this stuff. Especially when the author wrote about an old woman who compared D.B. Cooper to John Dillinger. The gangster-geek in me squealed like a school girl! If you're into this kind of stuff, I definitely recommend it!
What about you? Any things you're looking forward to this week?
