Update: Click-Click-Click
Although I never received a notification, apparently the maintenance department visited my room and checked out the fridge and the very loud clicking noise it was making. Well the fridge still makes noise but it is not loud any more and only lasts a few minutes. It is GLORIOUS!!! I can sleep at night now.

Did he just blog about football???
Why yes, I did/about to blog about football!
On Saturday, South Alabama faced their first real competition since the football program was created, and that was North Carolina State. Everybody I talked to or listened to said that we were going to lose so I didn't expect much. The Jags have been undefeated since the first game and the record was 19-0! Obviously from my use of past tense, you can tell that we lost to NC State. The score at the game was 35 - 13....which doesn't seem too bad to me! We scored! I was expecting, from everyone talking, that we were going to lose with a score of 40-0 but that was not the case.
So the streak has ended but the Jags should be proud! 19-1 is a great record for a new program and we are going finish the season out strong. The next home game is Oct. 15.....a little break for those of us who have to work at the games. The weather will be great and it should be fun!
GO SOUTH!!!

God is Amazing
God is amazing! He does things for you when you don't even ask.
This week was going to be a very long week! I have the first Radar test Wednesday and then my first Differential Equations test on Friday. Each course require a lot of studying and there was no way I would be able to study for both of them as much as I needed. On top of this I woke up this morning with a slight soar throat and I'm afraid that my allergies are beginning to mess up.
I went to Radar class today and he barely went over what was on the test and he told us how much we had to know. Kind of freaking out. I went to Different Equations class after that this morning and the first thing the teacher said was "we have a test this Friday, I am pretty sure that I am going move it." BLESSING!!!
This was a huge burden lifted off of my shoulder and I can breathe and relax a little bit now. As for the sickness part, I just woke up from a two hour nap and feel a little better.....enough so that I can study for Radar. The pollen in the air is currently being washed away by the rain, and its not over yet, there is rain forecasted for every day this week!
Yep, God is amazing!

Click-Click-Click
Can you imagine hearing that noise non-stop, all day long!?
Welcome to my life! My fridge a few weeks ago started to do this clicking noise and it is SOOO annoying! It has gotten so loud that I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. I couldn't take it any longer and just put in a maintenance request to fix the noise on the fridge.
Yeah....pretty annoying!

Cheers!!
First of all lets stop there.....if you are asking what is Cheerwine then let me tell you! It is one of the best sodas ever created and it started in the Carolinas in 1917 and it is a unique sparkling cherry soda (according to Wikipedia). Now it contains no alcohol or wind, contrary to what the name says. It is VERY exclusive and pretty hard to find unless you are in South Carolina, North Carolina, or Virginia. Before the other night the only place I knew that sold it in Alabama was in Birmingham. So now that we all know what this Cheerwine thing I speak of is....back to the post.
So yeah Cracker Barrel now sells it in their stores and I am very excited. You can buy it in the 4-pack or by the bottle. So most likely I will be getting at least a bottle every time I go!
GO CHEERWINE!!!!

Ready to Settle
I am ready to find that girl that I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I have been thinking about this a lot lately as everybody around is celebrating their two-year anniversary, or getting married, or are just happy together.
It sucks being the single guy and hanging out with a group of couples. No matter who you are and who I am with, there are times that I feel like the 3rd-5th-7th wheel. There are some days that I just need to get away from all the couples as it bugs me at some times.
But anyways back to the original topic. I am about to end one chapter of my life and begin a new one in about two months! I am not sure what is going to happen but it would be nice to have somebody there beside me, going through the next chapter with me, and all of the other chapters to follow.
Needless to say, I am praying, looking, and waiting for that right girl.

Football = Boring
Can I go on the record and say that I do NOT like football? Well of course I can, this is my blog!
I do NOT like football! Its not that I do not like the sport itself, its the fact that everybody lives for it. Yesterday was the first game of college football teams and everybody, and I mean everybody, was talking about it. Twitter and facebook was flooded with football scores, reference, you name it! Then if one person insults another or makes a comment about another team, this huge debate happens.
Meanwhile a Tropical Storm is hitting the Gulf Coast and no body is paying attention to it. It seems very weird to me and I don't like it.
Now this was not to start some debate in person or on this blog. I am just expressing my opinion. I know there are things that I am interested in that some people might find boring.....I get that. I just needed to express my opinion on this.

Tropical Storm Lee: Advisory 6
The biggest threat to the Mobile area from this storm is rainfall. Mobile is expecting around 17" of rain over the next 5 days according to the Hydrological Prediction Center (HPC). Just a few hours ago Mobile was put under a tropical storm warning. Mobile is also under a flash flood watch through Monday evening.
The best chances for tropical conditions for Mobile is on Monday. Right now everybody is watching New Orleans as Lee is sitting nearly stationary to the south of New Orleans dropping a lot of rain onto the city and whether or not the levees will hold.
USA vs W. Alabama
Yesterday was the kickoff to South's football season against West Alabama. After weeks of preparation the bookstore was ready for this to be a great game!
We didn't leave until noon and did last minute preparations in the morning. At least we were leaving.....we hit traffic going to the stadium but it didn't ruin our spirits. We got there and unloaded tailgate 1 (venue) immediately and then the east venue. We moved on to tailgate 2 and the two west venues. We get tailgate almost completely unloaded and things went downhill! A huge thunderstorm from Tropical Storm Lee hit the stadium and it poured and the wind blew. I was stuck in the truck with 3 other people while about 7 people were stuck inside the tailgate 2 venue. They immediately through everything to the center so the shirts and stuff didn't get wet but they didn't predict what would happen. All the rain washed down the tiny hill that tailgate 2 was sitting on the bottom of and the bottom of the boxes got soaked!!
Tailgate 1 didn't get hit as bad but they still got a few things wet. After the storm passed the two bosses drove over to look at the damage and decided to shut tailgate 2 down as there was not much left to save. Tailgate 1 was to remain open for a while. We quickly unloaded the west venues and then went back to tailgate 2 to load up tailgate 2. As soon as we finished that they announced that tailgate 1 was going to shut down as well. We helped them load up the rest of that tent.
Just like that our two biggest venues were shut down and the estimated damage to shirts and stuff was about $1,000.....just from a thunderstorm. We all filled up the inside venues and tried to sell as much as we could. Our jaguar spirits were broken but we finally got them back. We brought out the tutus and people wore them around trying to raise some spirit up in the stadium. The venues inside did sell a lot of stuff and I have not heard how damage was done or if we made a profit.
Although it was the worse football game for the bookstore in the 3-season history, the JAGS are still undefeated as they beat W. Alabama 20 - 10 and are now 18-0!!! GO JAGS!!!!!!
