A day in the life of David Bequette. Part I

Part I
8:15 am: My alarm on my phone goes off, time to wake up for my 9:00 am class. I look at my phone, turn it off, and think to myself "is it really worth it to get up and go? you already have a degree, I think sleeping would suit you better".

8:17 am: Turn on Sportscenter, watch some highlights, fall asleep.

10:21 am: Wake up look at my phone, think, hey it's 10:21 I'm supposed to be in my other class right now, well it's too late for that I'm gonna sleep some more. Continue to sleep through my 11:00 class as well.

12:42 pm: Wake up to greet the day!! Hello day, why are you so bright out? Fix the sheet over my window to block out any sign of life outside my room.

12:45 pm: Lay in bed, watch some more ESPN shows that just reiterate over and over and over. Mike and Mike, Jim Rome, 1st and 10, Around the Horn etc etc (Note, I didn't watch all those shows)

1:30 pm: I have arisen from my bed and moved to the computer chair. Check my UST email, nothing of consequence. Skip checking my UMD email for fear that my spanish teacher has sent me an angry email. Facebook is next, respond to messages, read my wall, snoop some profiles, oh hey so and so put up pictures from spring break...nice bikini pics.

2:08 pm: Still Facebooking, and RSDing, what's with RSD now a days, damn spam ruining everything. Email NIKE, to see if there is anything they can do to stop this nikeshoesshow.com company from spamming. I'm guessing....no.

2:19 pm: Play some N-blox evil addition, and I dominate as usual. I'm getting hungry, but that would force me to leave my comfy, warm domain and enter into the realm of light.

3:00 pm: Ok ok, now I'm getting really lazy. Oh wait, it's Friday who gives a fuck.

3:45 pm: Same old sports shit on tv, I have now heard that Greg Oden played in a pickup game at a health club on 8 different occasions. Is the NCAA on yet? Two more hours. fuck.

4:00 pm: Update the blog, let people finally realize how lazy I am this year, and now I shall attempt to leave the domain, shower, brush the chompers, and find nourishment.

Part II coming later today....

Northwoods Sectionals 2k8

Sectionals is approaching fast, faster than in previous years now that the whole series has been pushed up. Northwoods sectionals will be on April 12,13th this year in Maple Plain. This has been something I have been waiting for, for a long time. I haven't played in the series since my junior year when St. Thomas qualified for Regionals for the first time, last year I was out with the broken wrist. So, I've been waiting for this for a long time. Here is the list of teams I think will be at Sections.

Teams
1) MN-Duluth
2) MN-TC
3) Carleton
4) Winona St.
5) St. Olaf
6) Gustavus
7) St. Thomas
8) Macalester
9) Carleton-GOP
10) Hot Karls
11) St. Johns
12) Hamline
13) Mankato
14) St. Olaf-B
15) St. Thomas-B
16) Random Team

Here is my shot at seeding these teams...

Pool A: CUT, St Thomas, Mankato, Random Team
Pool B: MN-TC, GOP, Gustavus, St Thomas B
Pool C: Winona St, St Johns, Hot Karls, St Olaf B
Pool D: St Olaf, Duluth, Hamline, Macalester

which means the seedings would go as....
1) Cut
2)MN-TC
3) Winona St
4) St Olaf
5)Duluth
6) St Johns
7) GOP
8) St Thomas
9) Mankato
10) Gustavus
11) Hot Karls
12) Hamline
13) Macalester
14) St Olaf B
15) St Thomas B
16) Random Team

Then assuming our section gets six bids, which I wouldn't be surprised if we got 7 since we have a big section that is normally stronger than all the other sections here are my picks for regionals...

1) CUT
2) MN-TC
3) Winona St
4) Duluth
5) St Olaf
6) GOP/SJU

These are just my thoughts for now, we'll see what happens in two weeks.
