Found out I’ll be spending my summer in Istanbul, so I don’t have to keep looking for a summer job, which seems impossible for 1L’s.
As for how I’m coping with the lack of football, I really enjoy ruby too. I’m watching French Top 14 because it’s easily available on ESPN3. If only the World Cup happened every year, I’d be a happy, happy man.
amazingtaters - February 10, 2012
World Cup would get boring then..........careful in Istanbul, bring me bag soem hashish
Masons - February 10, 2012
Congrats! Istanbul's awesome.
Spent a few days there. Soooo many things to see and so few barriers. One of my co-workers earned some cash there over a summer as a print translator. Lots of people and culture = lots of writers, so native English speakers have an automatic niche if you want a side job.

Finished my first semester back to college in a while with straight "A's"
And Im currently dispatching trucks this weekend, which means Im essentially the supervisor until Monday. Not a huge deal, but feels good to be me.

How do you finish a semester in Febuary?

I guess my body needed it lol.
Victory of the week would be….getting my move to Tennessee promised. Started looking at houses and stuff. If there’s anyone from the Knoxville area or knows it, you’re more than welcome to help me out.
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
leaving Cali huh?
Lucky dog!
I have an aunt outside of Knoxville. They wouldn’t be much help to you since they’re old retired hillbillies but it is beautiful out there.
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Yep, finally getting out!
Mom got a new job so I’m gonna take off with her. We’ll see how it goes. I went to Nashville a few weeks back and it’s beautiful, but I just found out we’ll be in Knoxville instead.
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
Make the most of it
I’d bail on Cali if I could… in a heart beat.
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Where in Cali are you at again?
I know we talked about it before so forgive me
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
I'm in San Diego
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Gotcha
Yeah I’m in the Inland Empire, which is pretty much one of the ugliest parts of SoCal…

I’m jealous. I’d love to move to Tenn.
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Yep, really dry

I’m trying to figure out which game I should go to this season….Went to the Pittsburgh game last year because it was a primetime game. Regret it now because it was between that and the Packers game.
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
Colts, Falcons, Panthers, Ravens and I want to say Cleveland
ForeverRanger91 - February 10, 2012 via mobile
Panthers might be a fun one to attend

That'd be an awesome game
And if it did happen, it’d be primetime for sure…Hmm…
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
I think you need to sub Bengals for Browns
then you got it
ExRoyalsFan - February 10, 2012
Ravens or Falcons
If Manning comes to us, Colts for sure. That’s not too bad of a list.
SoCalChief17 - February 10, 2012
I am thinking of Falcons for sure
and maybe the Colts. I hope we get the Colts in the first week that way Tamba Hali and Justin Houston can “welcome” Andrew Luck to the NFL.
ForeverRanger91 - February 10, 2012
That'd be awesome
I live in Cali though and I only get one game a year in KC so we’ll see.

VOTW (or Non-VOTW)
For nearly half my life music has been a huge part of it. Some of my favorite memories from high school involved marching band, and I was very good at it. However, in college I only had time to do pep band, and our last game of the school year was today. So, with no real motivation to play my instrument after I graduate, I can’t justify keeping it and not using it since it’s so expensive. So tonight may have been the last time I ever played my euphonium, and I’m kind of sad.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012
oh man
That is kinda sad. I’m sorry man. Isn’t there anything you can do to stick with it at all?
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
I could if I really wanted.
But I just don’t think it would be worth it. My Euphonium is worth over $2,000, so I don’t think anything would really be worth as much as just selling it.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012
Oh Gawd wustl
that’s turrible
I feel like my puppy just died or something
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Eh, it's fine.
I always thought it would be fun to join that chiefs band led by Tony DiPardo, but I’m not sure where to sign up.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012
there you go
gotta get outta St. Louis first :)
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
I've thought about it, and I already know the two happiest days of my life up to June 1st
The top spot goes to the day when I finish my last final, marking the end of my school career.
A close second is after my graduation when I drive out of St. Louis for the last time, never to return. That will be the greatest feeling ever.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012
I'm hoping you chronicle the odyssey here on AP open threads :)
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
I will.
I may actually start crying as soon as I go from 40 highway to I-70 in Wentzville, since that’s where it transitions from “still in St. Louis” to “on my way to KC” in my mind. I can’t wait.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012
give us the blow by blow
it’ll be there sooner than you think
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
I'm pretty sure you have to sign up at the Golden Gate to play with Tony...
I took a buddy of mine last year to his First NFL game… I state this as he played in UK’s pep band from 94-98, played in the big bball games and a bowl game during this time. The game that I took him too was the playoff game… and it was interesting to see his perspective as a musician. Even if he hasn’t played in 12 + years.
That type of stuff never leaves you…
ravenhawk - February 10, 2012
If you own it keep it
Or years from now you will end up wishing you had it and buying a cheaper shittier version. 2 grand might seem like a lot now but in time you might find the instrument to be more valuable.
Eh fuck it sell it Drinks on You?
ArrowheadHunter - February 10, 2012
If anything, I want a marching Baritone.
I love pep band because I love playing loud, so a marching baritone would be better for me than the concert euphonium I have.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 10, 2012

It just started to get busy for me, and it will be nonstop like this for the next 3-4 months.
ravenhawk - February 10, 2012
what's your topic?
Buck'O - February 10, 2012
Its an Interdicsiplinary approach... so I have to use at least 2 schools (Natural Science and Education)
The chapter I’m currently working upon is about the research study that I have been working on for the past 2.5 years. This involves the work on tracking box turtles and recording invasive Amur Honeysuckle data. Hopefully this portion gets published in a scientific journal.
The 2nd chapter will involve the use of education of this subject… I haven’t fully talked this out with my adviser yet. So this part should be challenging.
ravenhawk - February 10, 2012
jeez man. that's heady stuff.
masters thesis or doctorate?

I've been playing NCAA for like 5 hours
Almost to the national championship, but Jesus recruiting is difficult. I think I’d lose my mind if I had to do this in real life.

Being in Singapore yesterday and before getting on a plane back to Japan, meeting some NFL cheerleaders coming back from a USO visit (Bills, Titans, and Texans). Talked to one of the Buffalo Jills for a minute, told her I hate Stevie Johnson, and she nodded understandingly; told me there’s folks in Buffalo who don’t even like him.

Some guy on here is married to a Chiefs cheerleader.
I want to give that guy a high five.

Right on.
The ol’ handshake/hug could be in order for that (no homo).

VOTW…three gallons of homemade wine ready to go. Survived another week at work, not much time for this place though. Hopefully getting back to normal soon.

Just read it.
Maybe that’s what Clark Hunt meant by modeling the Chiefs after the Steelers. J/K.
