Yet another test has gone by the wayside. Now it's just Solid State Devices on Thursday night, and I'm finished. In the meantime it's a whirlwind of activity of seeing friends before the semester breaks, and trying to get in studying. Plus I bought the first season of The West Wing on DVD. Best show on TV, and now I can watch it whenever I want: Life is gooooood

So I'm sure everyone's heard by now that Saddam has finally been captured. And then the obligatory talk about what it means for Bush's re-election and Dean's hopes. Which in a theoretically perfect world wouldn't matter since Bush had nothing to do with finding him, and he wasn't in any kind of power position, nor ever could be. But it is a nice morale boost, and at least they finally did catch him. My favorite reaction to the news was on a message board discussing how the trial would work. "It'll be easy to convict him with all the WMD evidence that we found over in Iraq. Oh wait...."

So for whatever reason 6 people on my floor decided to try the "Drink a Gallon of Milk in One Hour and Not Puke" challenge. And yep, every single one of them failed, some in trully spectacular fashion. If you're not familiar with the bet, it's physically impossible to drink a gallon of milk in one hour and keep it down for at least another hour after that. But people for whatever reason refuse to believe it, and well, the results were to be expected. It wasn't a pretty sight to say the least. See, this is what finals do to people!

Our basketball team might not be doing so hot (lost two in a row last week after being ranked #1) but our volleyball team is continuing on it's way to a National Championship. We've swept every team so far, and so UF is now in the national semifinals, which play on Thursday. Football may get the most attention, but our other sports teams are spectacular. I think they can definitely do it, they're amazing to watch and maybe we'll get to face USC in the national finals, and redeem our only loss this season. Go Gators!
