To Much Fun in Cedar Rapids

Dear Readers,

I come to you today with tons of updates. First off, school is going well minus the fact I have two papers to work on this week that I am not looking forward to. Secondly I have found two new hobbies; Cedar Rapids hockey games and paintball. I had no clue that there are a few paintball courses in Cedar Rapids and after a little bit of research I was able to find a pretty sweet one that me and a few of my buddies went to check out this past weekend.

Besides getting all bruised up from paintball I was able to go to my first ever hockey game. Even though I am from right outside Detroit I have never been to a Red wings game so this was an experience to remember. The cool thing about it was that I got to go to the game with two of my bosses from academic computing on campus. We decide to start off the night with a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings ( which happened to be a great idea) and devour as many wings as possible. After stuffing my face we headed to the Roughriders hockey game were I was given a free shirt and also got to sit 1st row!!! Not second or third but first row right next to the goalie.

To put a proper ending to my long and exciting weekend I decided to take some friends out to the movies to see Cabin in the Woods. Overall the movie was pretty funny and glad I was able to put aside a couple hours to go and check it out. Only bad decision of the night was purchasing the $12 drink and nachos combo (way to expensive). Is it just me or does nachos at the movie theater always taste good even though its nothing special about them besides the price? Well who knows but I do know the movie was great and so was my weekend.

I am looking forward to an exciting week as well that I can't wait to fill you all in on!

Thank you for your time,
