Being a football fan takes dedication. Growing up I was always brain washed to like and cheer for the Steelers by my dad. Ever since I was little, I wouldn't miss one game. This wasn't that hard because the Steelers were always a pretty decent team and won most of the time. Now that we have received a new offensive coordinator we are not doing well. The Steelers record to this date is two and four. Under mike Tomlin as head coach, the Steelers record has never been this bad. Because they are doing so bad, it is very hard to stay loyal to this team. Tonight, the Steelers played one if their biggest rivals ever, the Ravens. We ended up sticking it out till the end and one the game in the last thirty seconds. I have never been so proud a this team. Even thought they haven't been doing to great, they could still pull it off to beat their rival team. I am forever a Steelers fan.

This weekend I finally got all of my things out of my old room. My old roommate were not getting along so I moved to a new room in Clinton. I love my new roommate. We get along so well and it makes me happy that I can finally start on a positive note. I feel that now I can be happy in my dorm I can be happy everywhere else at Wartburg. Changing roommates has not only been beneficial, but it has also taken a lot of stress off of me.

Today my mom picked me up and we went for lunch at Pizza Ranch. A lady my mom knew stopped by our table to chat about a new church they tried today. It's was a church where they speak in lounges. Growing up in a Baptiste church this fascinated me. They were dancing in the isles and talking but you couldn't understand what they were saying. Supposedly they are speaking to God and only God can understand them. I find its fascinating. How do u know what to say when you are not making sense? Does God really understand? Then I started thinking about other religions. Worshiping Mother Mary, the statue Buddha, and other statues. How does one choose a religion? Is it predisposed by what you grew up with? Do people usually follow the religion of their parents? If you were raised not believing in religion do you go your whole life not believing? All of these questions rushed through my head. I feel no matter what religion you have, there always going to be unanswered questions

I am beginning to think outfly is something that the alumni and upper classmen tell the freshmen as a prank. I swear everyone says " outfly is going to be tomorrow" everyday. This topic is so suspenseful that it makes me mad at the idea of it. I am the type of person who hates surprises so not know when outfly is, is hard for me. The things that people say are signs of outfly are seeing the president on campus, seeing the cut fruit for breakfast, and seeing the huge cinnamon rolls. I am looking forward to having a day of fun but I hate not know when outfly will be.  

This week I started my first pre season practices as a knight. The tasks we endured were not particularly fun but made us better. Monday and Tuesday we started off by lifting weights. Because I didn't do much weight lifting over the summer it was a struggle for me. I could feel all my muscles tightening up by the end of practice and I knew I was benefiting from it. On Wednesday, I went through one of the hardest running practice I have ever done. It was so intense that once I thought I had nothing left the coaches pushed us even harder to complete the work out. Thursday was a relief. We lifted weights but didn't add much weight. This was a chance for my muscles to relax and get a break. I am really looking forward to a wonderful season.
