Breaking my heart

So both "my" college teams lost today. Purdue lost to Wisconsin and Iowa lost to Michigan. And to make matters worse, Notre Dame came behind to beat UCLA. The only brightspot for the whole college football Saturday was the fact that Penn State won. So hopefully fans will leave Joe Pa alone. Seriously though, you do not even think about firing Joe Pa, you let him retire. I think it should be a rule, once you have coached at one college for more than forty years, your job should be secure until you either retire or die. I had a pretty rough Thursday as well thanks to an almost impossible test in Cell Bio. When I started I was really worried because no one else looking like they were freaking out, but slowly lots of people started asking questions to the TAs so I took that as a sign that everyone was equally confused as I was. And then the next day in class the (new) lecturer said "I heard you guys had a rough night last night with the exam", understatement of the century to say the least. But that leads me to the conclusion that everyone did about as bad as I assume that I did. C'est la vie...

BOBBY: Do you really think the Cowboys would move to Arlen?
HANK: I sure do, son. Just imagine what it'll be like. We'll go get autographs, and Troy Aikman will toss the ball around with you. I wish I had Dandy Don Meredith or Roger Staubach throwing me passes when I was your age. Even Craig Morton would have been okay. I love you, Bobby.
BOBBY: What?!
HANK: Uh... nothing. Hey, look, a bird!

And just because I can't resist this quote (and the likelihood that I will every write an appropriate posting is probably zero)
DALE: Hank, a hunting trip's not just about getting drunk or shooting deer. It's about getting out in the woods, away from the government, where your paper money is useless unless you run out of leaves. Where a man can let down his guard and share his biggest fear.
HANK: Dale, you with your guard down is my biggest fear.

sorry to hear your test went badly. my first cell bio test was horrible too. i kept flipping through the pages to find a question i knew how to do, and suddenly i was at the end of the exam.

It was actully the second test. I did just fine on the first test. In fact I was happy with some of the questions on the first exam.
