Another week at THE Iowa State University. This week was not bad just full of homework and you know school stuff. Other than that it went pretty well. My roommate decided that the air is too dry here for him (he is still wearing too pairs of pants when he leaves) so he bought a humidifier, I now live in a rain forest, if you would like to tour my rain forest it is free (however donations are accepted, cash or check only please). Whenever he leaves I shut it off and keep the heat on to try and even out the moisture distribution, but then it gets too hot. The only time I want it to be this hot and muggy is if there is a nice strong cold front about to come through, and that will not happen in my room, oh well.
I am writing this just before heading home for the weekend. It's my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary so I will go celebrate that with them in Garwin on Sunday before heading back here. I am debating leaving my pyramid of empty pop cans so I can finish it, only 14 more cans left! I am also looking forward to seeing a couple good friends that I have not seen since break and one that I hardly saw over break. Tomorrow is a big day in ISU basketball, #4 Oklahoma comes to Hilton with the conferences leading scorer (I am pretty sure he is at least) to face the second leading scorer my man CRAIG BRACKINS!!! Hopefully we win, if we don't I just hope it doesn't get too ugly. GO CYCLONES!!!
Anyway back on topic. My roommate likes to bring up random topics to talk about while I am laying in bed watching TV late at night. One time this week we got on the topic of religion (which took awhile for him to translate). After finally getting the right words conveyed he talked a little about how in China they are not allowed to have any religion or believe in anything, due to the dictatorship, he did say however that his great grandparents or something like that used to be Buddhist. Once he said that it made sense but it just goes to show how we as Americans take a lot of things for granted. We are allowed to on our own free will to go and worship whatever god or anything that we believe in, or not. Every person in this country is allowed to believe in anything and do anything, as long as it's not against the law for their and others safety.
Overall I think we all need to slow down and just look at what were doing and how blessed we are. This country gets too caught up in politics and splitting into two sides to remember that we are all one and we are all free to have those thoughts and beliefs, not to mention we are free to have this government. We also have our own brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers here at home and overseas fighting, and some giving their lives for this freedom, a lot of people say it but I don't think it will hit home until each person in this country has a loved one go fight for this great country. Do yourself and and everyone a favor this weekend and take a minute or two and remember those unalienable rights given to you in the constitution. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Have a great weekend! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

A Broken System...
As some of you may know school has always been a hard thing for me. I try not to dwell on it and jut do my best but at times it scary and confusing. There are other people out there that have problems in school as well. I am going to focus a little bit on college athletes and the standards that they have to abide by when it comes to academics.
Earlier this week Anthony Tucker who was a member of the Iowa men's basketball team was indefinitely suspended after his GPA fell below the limits set by the NCAA and the Big Ten (Eleven) Conference. To my knowledge Tucker was a freshman and after doing a little research that means that all he has to do for the first semester is get at least a 1.65 GPA and after by the end of the second semester (first year) he has to have a 1.80 GPA. I know that most schools will allow a coach to recruit and the school will admit a couple players a year if they do not meet the schools standards but once they are in they must adhere to the ncaa's and their conference guidelines. However I did not know that the guidelines were this low.
I am currently on academic warning which means that my GPA dropped below 2.0. I know that athletes are treated differently but there is a HUGE difference between 1.65 and 2.0. I can get kicked out of the school for having a GPA below 2.0 and they just get kicked off the team for gpa's at or below 1.65!
I really do not know how they can have grades that low. Every school requires their athletes to put a certain amount of time each week in at "study tables", which is where they go somewhere to study with other athletes and tutors just for them (here at ISU they go to the third floor of the Hixson-Lied Student Success Center, the whole third floor is just for them). A friend of mine that is on the softball team here has told me that she has to put in at least 10 hours a week just at the study tables, which equates to about two hours a night. Some schools do this and also employ glorified babysitters that go to classes that the athletes are in to make sure they go to class and stay for the whole class period, others have electronic tracking systems to do the same thing. It floors me that some schools will put this much effort and money into making sure their athletes maintain their d or c- average. I know that most athletes do maintain at least a 2.0 or better and a lot have very good gpa's, while succeeding in competition as well. Just last year a female track runner here at ISU graduated after three years, she also happened to win a couple national titles and demolish a record or two at the same time. She is now on the cross country team and in grad school here.
I met with my advisor earlier this week to figure out what will best help me to succeed this semester and get back on the track to academic success, so far so good. I have been doing very will in meteorology and I feel my other classes are going just as well. I had several people tell me this past week that they enjoy my posts, if you do too please let me know by e-mail to jbcook89@gmail.com I would also like to know your comments and suggestions! I am hoping to go home next weekend depending on if I can get a ride or not and if the weather will co-operate. Thanks for listening to my rant today! Have a great weekend! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

Pondering...
So I am pondering several things, I gave up and went with pondering. Well that's one decision down. This semester should not be too hard, I have three 101 classes, English 250, and Meteorology 206. Since I am on academic warning (stupid chem class) I do not mind this semester being very easy.
Last week went surprisingly fast. Hopefully these next two weeks are the same way. I go home in ten days on the 30th and am very excited! By then I will be in need of talking to someone that actually understands everything I say. I don't intend to sound mean I am just confused at why you send your child to this country and all he is doing this semester is learning how to speak English, granted it's obviously a better education but I think that a semester just to learn English would be quite expensive. Oh well not my choice. Yesterday he brought back some beef that he wanted to learn how to cook, it ended up not being as bad as I thought it would be, it was actually easier than when he wanted to learn how to make easy mac last week.
I thought our football coaching staff would be complete by now and we would be hard on the recruiting trail. Coach Rhoads is working on the recruits however we do not have a defensive coordinator and several other position coaches. While I was home on break I was watching TV-9 (go figure) and John Campbell did a story or something on some coaching thing or something and at the end of the segment Bruce Aune asked him if Chizik was still at Auburn, John replied with yes looking confused and Bruce explained that he was just making sure that Chizik had not moved on already. IT WAS AWESOME! Probably one of the best things I had heard in awhile along with the verb "Chiziked" getting adopted by many people, by the way it means to unexpectedly leave when you are firmly entrenched or just walk out, look for it in this years edition of Merriam-Websters dictionary. ISU even got chiziked again one of our newly hired position coaches was on the staff for a whole 11 days!!! He was hired on January fifth and left on the 16th to coach at Mississippi, I guess the cold got to him.
I am joining Kappa Kappa Psi which is a national honorary band service fraternity. It is a non residence frat and is also co-ed. I have my first degree tonight. If you are unfamiliar with the process of joining a fraternity or sorority you have to take a class learning all about the university and the respective group. You have to take quizzes and stuff and then there are also degrees which are little ceremonies I do not know what is involved in the ceremonies and I probably won't be able to talk about it so sorry! As I said my first degree is tonight and the other two are over the coming weeks. I actually have a busy week with KKCy, degree tonight, class tomorrow night, and regular meeting Wednesday.
It's also a very exciting time in my family, I have THREE cousins that are now pregnant with the first one due in March. I am very excited for this! With all these baby's and toddlers this means there will be a lot of cool new toys to play with at my families houses (they all live in rural Tama county on farms where there is poor cell phone reception and they don't have wifi or cable TV which means all of my toys are not very much fun) so ya I am looking forward to loud toys for kids! It will also be a chance to get revenge on my cousins (I am the youngest) for all the things they did to me growing up... (insert evil laugh) good times will be had!
I e-mailed my boss last week haven't heard back yet, hopefully that's just because he is taking time off. I also helped my girlfriend get a job! (You owe me by the way) It looks like I will also be interning at TV-9 again this summer which makes me happy! I will also probably getting a different job, my friend works for Witwer Senior Center delivering meals for their meals on wheels program, it's pretty good money and since target probably won't be giving me many hours when I get back for the summer I figure that's my best option, and it's only from 9:30-1:00!!! This is a random thought but I am amazed at how quickly Twitter has gotten into the mainstream. I have been on it since last spring and many more people have gotten on it lately. It is quite useful in the media industry, I have heard of people getting story ideas from their followers along with storm reports, some TV weather departments even have their own for this exact reason. Feel free to follow me if you aren't already I am jbgcook. Oh well that's about it from here for now have a great week and I will talk to you in a couple of days! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

Back to school...
Okay I have something to admit, I miss being at home with my parents. As I have stated before I love it here but there is something about Marion that I miss, who knows. I got so used to being home for the first time in awhile that leaving was very hard so I am trying to remember one thing "If god brings you to it he will bring you through it.", it's very hard to remember and live by but it's very true I am a very good example of that.
I am a third generation Cyclone and have always dreamed of coming here and to be in the band. I am a diehard Cyclone and as much as I think about going somewhere else to be closer to my best friends from high school nothing would be able to take me away from this awesome place. I did not fully apply myself in high school and it almost cost me admission into Iowa State. I ended up getting all the requirements met to get into ISU but I was not in the top half of my class (I have some complaints about that but it there are a lot of politics in it and I try to stay away from that). In order to get into ISU I had to come here last summer and take a couple classes in order to prove that I was able to work at the level needed to go here. I passed those classes and was admitted as a full time permanent student. Some people ask me why I am here as a journalism major when there are other better journalism schools like Missouri and Wartburg, I don't really care It's ISU.
Staying on the topic of school my schedule this semester does not look that bad thankfully except for English. I went to English today and the professor is russian with not too bad of an accent however she will be very strict and a tough grader so I will be getting some help from my sister (who just graduated from UNI with a degree in Journalism if you know of any job openings) along with the Writing help center. Other than that my meteorology, statistics, and economics classes should go well. My music class, well it's there.
I am sorry if my last few blogs have been downers, I feel selfish for feeling so homesick when there are people who are away from their families for months and years fighting for our country. I will do my best to not be a downer from now on. I hope everyone who reads this has a great week! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

All Good Things...
Must come to an end. I hate this feeling! I love ISU, and Ames but I have gotten very used to being at home and seeing everyone. I am excited to get back into the swing of things over there though. I am worried about my new roommate, he's from China and has been in the country for less than a week. I know it will be a learning experience but it will be tough none the less. I am excited for my first meteorology class.
Some people say that I am wishing my life away and I am not enjoying it. I am enjoying it though. I just look forward to seeing my favorite people in the world. I will be in Ames for three weeks before coming home for the weekend on the 30th. I figure by then it will be time to get out of my dorm (which is a complete pit) and away from a school for a couple of days. It is also my grandparents 60th anniversary. From there I will come back home every other weekend like valentines weekend, and the weekend of Linn-Mar's W.P.A. a week and a half after that it will be spring break which includes an Eagles concert in Davenport. Right after I get back to school spring practice starts and goes through VIESHA week. Basically I probably won't be going home during April except for Easter, which I just looked up and is April 12th so the week before VIESHA.
This semester will be hard and I will put forth my best effort and will make it through great. The last month has gone fast and I know the next three weeks will. Thats all for now on probably my last post from home for a while. Sorry it was such a downer, I am just not feeling that hot. Have a great weekend. GO STATE!!!GOD BLESS!!!

Tidbits
Why do I have to go back? This break has been AWESOME! I do want to go back and start my first Meteorology class but at the same time saying goodbye is tough. I am looking forward to having a roommate this semester though, it will be hard and weird at first he is from China and I don't think he has ever been to the U.S. until this week.
I am still fighting my contacts. I have lost one and ripped another, I can get the right eye one in but the left eye won't go in. I have another appointment with him Friday morning so I am going to ask him if I can get some with a little bit harder lens. I really love having the contacts but they can be such a pain, and I have no patience which does not help at all.
I love and hate this time of year. As a Cyclone fan I am looking forward to spring practice and what we will look like with the new coaching staff and talent. At the other time it's bowl season, and it ends tomorrow night. I love college sports specifically football and basketball. Everything has to come an end eventually but it's not fun when it does. My pick to win the national championship is Florida. I think that their ultra high power offense will be a little too much for the Sooners to handle. Not to mention their big defensive line coached by one of the best in the business (Dan McCarney) will play very smart and do a good job getting pressure on Sam Bradford. The only real concern I have with their defense is I am not sure their defensive ends and corners have the speed off the edge to contain Bradford in the pocket. The biggest things for Florida are to score early and do NOT let Sam Bradford get hot, if you do it will be tough to get back in it. We will see.
MacWorld is this week. So far the biggest thing that has come out of it is that they will be releasing DRM free music on itunes!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!! They are also changing the price scale on some music. Here is a link to the story http://tinyurl.com/9b2aa6
Well I don't have much else to talk about today. So far I am happy with Coach Rhoads hires for his staff. I hope everyone is having a great year so far and a great week. GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

I don't have a title...
As you can see from the title of this post I don't have a main topic.
I would like to congratulate the Iowa Hawkeyes on their Outback Bowl win. I did predict them to win just not in that manner. Everyone knew the hawks would win but by how much was the question, everyone that knows sports had a feeling that it would be close (basically the hawk fans that don't know anything and are just there to drink, and fit in thought it would be a blow out which is their prediction for every game). Give it to the hawks they came out and played very hard unlike South Carolina and took advantage of every mistake that usc made, specifically the quarterback. I think Shonne Greene made the move that everyone was expecting when he announced he would forgo his senior year to go pro. Ferentz on the other hand I believe will be up in the air to a degree. He still has a son in college and his youngest is 15 and still in highschool, however he is getting to that point that most coaches move to the pros if given the chance and his chance is pretty high. He has also said in the past that he would love to coach in the pro's, so who knows but my guess is that he would stay. I have also heard hawk fans saying that since they beat Penn State that they should have gone to the Rose Bowl...ARE YOU BLIND DRUNK CHILD!!! They played USC, the same USC that has won three strait Rose Bowl's, the same USC that just reloads and demolishes everyone in their path, if they didn't have an early season hiccup at Orgeon State I have no doubt they would be playin next Thursday night. Basically if you are one of these people go back to your parents basement and stop bother us and wasting our air with your blowtorch of a mouth.
Being a diehard Cyclone fan I would like to Congratulate Cy on being the mascot of the year. TAKE THAT HERKY AND THUNDAR!!! The prize is a $10,000 donation to the schools scholarship fund, very nice!
My new years night was EPIC!!! If you are my friend on facebook just look at the new pics I am tagged in and the video of me rapping...haha that was fun with no alcohol at all! Sadly I do have to go back to school in eight days...not cool but oh well what can I do?
I also got contacts today. I am getting used to them and I think I will like them. My deep set eyes which cause problems for me on tv are now giving me problems with contacts, it's hard to gety my eye lids all the way up. I willl learn. I don't really have much else to say and most people probably didn't want to know that list bit of info so thats bout it for now. Be careful with the weather this weekend specifically Saturday night, this will be a tough one so cut them some slack. Have a great weekend! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

I also got contacts today. I am getting used to them and I think I will like them. My deep set eyes which cause problems for me on tv are now giving me problems with contacts, it's hard to gety my eye lids all the way up. I willl learn. I don't really have much else to say and most people probably didn't want to know that list bit of info so thats bout it for now. Be careful with the weather this weekend specifically Saturday night, this will be a tough one so cut them some slack. Have a great weekend! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!
