It’s October 28th
What’s happened in the last 2 months?
– I turned 25
– I went to work a lot
– I gained 15 pounds in Jacksonville
– The Illini are 2-5 and apparently, on probation now
– The Redskins are 4-2 and playing well.
– The Chicago White Sox won the world series.
The last one is a bit of a shocker. Since I came to the U of I, I’ve always had a fondness for the Chicago White Sox. In the late-90s they had some good teams but were always overshadowed by their AL central counrparts, the Cleveland Indians. Anyways, I was amazed during my freshman year at Illinois, that Chicagoans were a 70/30 split towards the Cubs. So I always felt for them. Anyways, after the game on Wednesday night, Tom, Anshul and I popped some Champagne. And even though I was cheering for the Sox the whole playoffs, it was strangely an empty feeling once they won. I guess in my heart, I’ll never stop loving the Orioles. And although I’ll always be fond of the Sox, its not close to the same for me.
So congrats to the few but proud Sox fans out there. These Sox are what the Illini were to basketball last year — A really fun team to watch.
