A letter of recommendation, St. Brett, and fantasy football ire

So I just finished the task of writing a letter of recommendation from the perspective of my professor for a national scholarship through my fraternity for Journalism and Mass Communication majors. When I approached her about doing it, she said she was always happy to do those types of things for students, but she also required them to draft up a letter she would revise and add her personal voice to. I really didn't think much of this at the time, realizing that she is probably quite busy and even though I know her better than I know most of my professors, she may not know me quite as well as your standard constantly-visiting-office hours, brown-nosing student. When it came time to actually write the letter, it was initially a bit of a struggle to write good things about myself without wondering if I was being over the top and if all the things I was saying were true. That's when you remember that $2500 is on the line and all of that goes out the window.

For those football fans of you out there, particularly of the Green and Gold persuasion, I hope you had the opportunity to watch the legendary #4 work his magic again this week. While I really hate the Pack making me sweat out these close last-second wins, it's always awesome to watch Brett completely takeover a game and orchestrate the game-winning scoring drive in the final minutes of a game. Like him or hate him, you've gotta admit he's one of the best ever.



Finally, I want to give a big screw you out to the New England Patriots defense for giving up too many yards to Trent Green tonight, allowing my fantasy football team to lose by 2 measley points. I guess I could've started Kevin Jones over Rudi Johnson and everything would've been fine but who saw Jones rushing for 100 yards coming? Okay, maybe everyone should've considering the Vikings defense as of late. I still blame the Patriots 'D' for my team's loss though. With a record of 5-6, it's time to put the rally cap on.
