Can A Young Horse Pawn a Grizzly Bear
Okay it's just been 2 days since my last post and here I am blogging again. I need to curb this incessant yet sporific blogging habit. Not to mention I still have an exam on 8 chapters of genetics tomorrow. So what brings me here to my digital asylum for some creative writing about a battle between a young horse and a grizzly bear?
It's the 41st Super Bowl Game, that's why!
I'm not really into football fandom (both american version and elsewhere's) but since the past week my roommate had been volubly high about Indianapolis Colts and its chances of winning the first super bowl ever for the state team, I was infected with the fever also. Of all the players in Colts, I remember Peyton Manning the most, the highly celebrated quarterback for the Young Horse team.
Opposing Colts in today's Super Bowl is Chicago Bears, not famous for its quarterback but for its impregnable defense lineup. As I am typing this sentence, the game has commenced for 10 minutes, and the Bears had done a magnificent touchdown in the first minute, drowned by the cheers of Bear fans in my neighbors' rooms and also by my roommate's super loud cursing and groans.
In West Lafayette, we Purdue students are thrown into a unique geographical location: 2 and a half hours up north is Chicago, the Bears hometown where half of the football fans in Purdue come from, and 1 and a half hours down south is Indianapolis, where the other half are strongly affiliated with. While the game is played in Flourida, Purdue became the epic battleground for the fans who, being poor college students, root in front if TVs in dorms, apartments and halls alike, to witness the game and lash out whatever verbal encouragement or mudslinging they like. It is one big phenomenal night.
And where am I in the midst of all this excitement?
Lilly Hall Life Sciences Library.
Quiet, calm and full of chromosomes, dosage compensation and this trusty digital asylum.
I'll check the score online after the game finishes.
Oh, talked to bro just now. Hey, If you read this, and even if you don't believe this sort of thing, I'll pray for your success in finding an internship.
Peace out.
