The Math Empo

I figured since I am currently sitting in the Math Emporium waiting for my ride to finish their quiz I should blog about the place! In all honesty I really don't hate the math emporium as much as some other people. Don't get me wrong i certainly don't like it here but hey, there are far worse places to be. The only thing I don't like is that it is SO FAR AWAY. I mean, I get that it is easier for the University to have a place for tests and stuff but COME ON. You either have to take a bus, catch a ride, or walk. And I mean, who wants to walk that distance in the Blacksburg winter weather. If they could just relocate it or something it wouldn't be so bad.

Another thing is the classes that are all online for math are so dumb. I really hate having to either listen to the teacher just rant for 30 minutes or having to just teach myself the material. Sure, we're in college now and should start becoming more independent but they have the teachers! Instead of recording themselves talking like the lady did for Linear Algebra she could stand in front of us and lecture so we could ask questions. Now, some of y'all might say "well, that's what the tutor room is for!" well that tutor room is ALL the way at the Empo! BAH! It's just really inconvenient sometimes is all I'm saying.

How do you feel about the Empo? Hate it? Love it?(if that's possible)
Leave a comment and tell me how you feel!

NCAA Tourney and NIT

So, as most of you probably already know Virginia Tech did not make the NCAA Tournament. A lot of people were upset that the Selection Committee did not put us in the Tournament. I however, saw this as blessing in disguise. Think about it, what would have happen if we made the tournament? We probably would have lost in like the second round. Now we are in the NIT. We actually have a game tonight against UConn. We have a legitimate chance of winning the NIT, something we wouldn't have had in the tournament.

Now on the other hand, with all the chaos that has broken out in this year's tournament we may have won it. I mean c'mon! Northern Iowa over Kansas?! Thank you for killing my bracket!! And Georgetown and Villanova...really guys? Really? Those 3 teams were in my elite eight...and 2 of them (Kansas and Villanova) were in my championship game. There is no way I am winning the pool at my mom's work now...worst 5 dollars I ever spent.

Now back to the NIT! Tonight's game should be a good one. I'm pretty excited for it. I'm getting to Cassell around 1:30 to start waiting in line..too stoked!! It's general admission so me and my friends are hoping to sit front and center and maybe get on TV! If you wanna look for me cut your TV on to ESPN at 7pm and look for the guy with the orange crazy wig and orange shutter shades haha. So watch the game tonight and GO HOKIES!
