Quadruple-Double Achievement

After probably a zillion games played of NBA Live 06 on Gamecube, I finally, FINALLY achieved a quadruple-double - a first in a long, long time. I was playing with an adjusted roster (I added players like Blake Griffin, John Wall and Kevin Durant as Create-a-Players) in the Sophomore-Rookie game in my dynasty mode - my starting lineup (Sophomores) consisted of Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin, J.R. Smith, Josh Smith and Devin Harris. Yeah, I know, Blake and Dwight are NOT the same year, but that's how the game worked out. Well, here's Howard's quadruple-double stats:


No cheats were involved in getting a quadruple-double, and I was playing 5-minute quarters under the HARDEST difficulty; the whole game I just double-teamed their point guard (rookie Chris Paul) - yeah, the years do not make sense - into easy fast-break turnovers. J.R Smith finished with 57 points, 11 assists and was 6/9 from 3-point land.

Well, that was a good break - now onto more studying for an Astronomy exam on Thursday!

It's Scheduling Time, Again!


Yup, Terp undergrads, Venus is now up-and-running, so your registration date should now be posted on my.umd.edu. Mine is on the 7th of next month.

Here are some possible classes that I could be taking next semester:

GEOL204 - Dinosaurs: Early Humans, Ancestors, and Evolution


HLTH377 Human Sexuality (I heard that this is a VERY popular class - at the beginning of each semester, there are 180 filled seats AND 180 students ON THE WAITLIST!)


KNES100O Coed Basketball (Intermediate) (I've already taken beginning basketball and it was too easy, and I want to up my game)


GEOG445 Climatology (A course that is required for my major)


GEOG473 Geographic Information Systems (Ditto like above, but for my minor - it's an upper-level course for the introductory course I'm taking this semester)


AOSC401 Climate Dynamics and Earth System Science (Ditto, but for my OTHER minor)


My Temporary/Possible Schedule for the Spring of 2012:
