Scrabbled Minds

Took my first midterm in over 3 years for a graduate class I'm taking this Fall semester. And it wasn't a complete disaster, but the waters were definitely choppy on the Open-book Seas of Midterms. Our professor definitely threw a curve ball at us, and mentioned he had a reputation of giving easy tests. Well, apparently he's trying to change people's views of him. But I'm glad to be over with it. At least until the next exam.

Yesterday, my roommates and I decided to play a little game of Scrabble. And now we're hooked. Dan won 3 of the past 4 games we played, but I dominated our last game for once. I was board game champion of the house for a week until I lost to Scrabble yesterday. The games I won prior to Scrabble were called Puerto Rico, Carcassone, and The Farming Game. The Farming Game is based on areas located in eastern Washington, which was told to me by my roommates from farms in Northern Minnesota and Central Iowa. As lame as the Farming Game sounds, it's much more complicated and intriguing than it's big brother, Monopoly.

I plan to reign as the Board Game Champion of 5047 Manor Brook. Muhahaha (not a valid Scrabble word).
