Week 11 of the NFl season was another memorable week to remember. There was many upset game that highlighted the week. First of the Washington Redskins were able to upset the Green Bay Packers. It was a back and forth game most of the game until the end. The Redskins ran away by scoring 3 touchdowns in the final quarter. With this loss, the Packer are now 4-6, the worst record the Packers had in a Decade. It also knocks them out of playoff contention. While the packers are struggling, the Dallas Cowboys keep rolling. They won this week against the Ravens with the score of 27-17. This makes it 9 straight wins putting their record at 9-1, the best record in the NFL. Once again the two rookies Dak and Ezekiel, played another incredible game. The patriots coming off a loss against the Seahawks, won their game against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon. Tom Brady had 4 touchdowns to lead the patriots with Gronk out of the line up. Colin Kaepernick had a solid game, but it wasn't enough to overcome the patriots. Over all this week was an entertainment filled week, with many good games played. The NFL playoffs are now only a few weeks away. I have my money on the New England Patriots to win it all come February. Who’s your bet to win it all?

Week 10 of the NFL season was  full of memorable games and moments. Let's start with the New Orleans Saints versus the Denver Broncos. It was a back and forth game between the two teams. It all came down to a the extra point try in the last seconds of the game. After the Saints trailing by 6, they scored a touchdown to even it out at 23. The extra point was suppose to be the winner for the saints until it was blocked. The broncos took it back home for 2 points. They ended up winning 25-23. Another exciting game was the Dallas Cowboys going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was also another back and forth game where it went down to the wire. There were 7 lead changes in the game. The steelers ended up losing 35-30 in the final seconds. With 15 seconds left Elliott ran down the middle for a score with them trailing 28-35. Dak Prescott had 2 touchdown passes, while Elliott had 3 total TD’s. Prescott and Elliott are both rookies and playing like they are super stars. The Cowboy's wouldn't be 8-1 without them two playing at a high level. The final game was between the Patriots and Seahawks. It's their first time going up against each other since the infamous super bowl 49. The Seahawks ended up getting their long awaited revenge. But I believe that they got away with a foul in the last play that the patriots could had potentially tied the game. Overall week 10 was a full of fun and exciting games played.

Old vs. New Generation of Call of Duty

Call of Duty is one of the biggest games in the history of video games. It has sold millions of copies around the world. No other games stands a chance  going against Call of duty head to head in sales. But over they years the Call of duty franchise has been dying down. Year after year the same game gets recycled into a “new” game, which basically is a reskin of the old game. In all,  their has been 8 call of duty games in total. Each of those games are very similar to how they run. It all started back in 2007 with the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. That game is praised to be the best Call of duty game ever made among the fan base. The Call of Duty games were like able until the release of Advanced Warfare. The addition of the jet pack movement in my opinion was the game's downfall. It didn't feel like a call of duty game to many people. Call of duty was meant to be played as a run and gun game, not a jump and gun. The decline of sales proves that how this new system of playing has hurt the franchise. This years Call of Duty Infinite warfare did not change a thing.The fanbase has been asking for a boots on the ground, but instead they got the opposite. To make them happy they decided to remaster Modern Warfare, a 10 year old game that came out in 2007. For the most part this strategy did make many people happy for the time being.

So to continue from lasts week blog on my sports intramural's league. We won this past week's game which was our first actual game that counts toward our record. We played a team called “Techs R Us,” who weren't that bad of a team. The where made out of mostly older people which gave us an advantage. We were able to outrun them and tired them out as the game went along. The final score ended up to be 56-33. It was close in the beginning but as the game went on we increased our lead. I finished with 8 points. My goal for every game is to get at least 10 points a game. My stamina is starting to built and get better. I'm not where I need to be just yet, but hopefully in a couple weeks I will. Stamina is important in being able to play basketball at a high level. Basketball is a fast paced game where you need to run up and down the court. Without some kind of stamina, you won't be able to keep up. Our first game we only had 6 players available. We got tired out quick because of the lack of available substitutes, which I believe is the reason we lost. But this time around we had a total of 10 players available to play. We were able to pick up 4 other players before Wednesday. Hopefully we will be able to win this week's game and go undefeated on the season.

Throughout my highschool years, I always played sports such as tennis and basketball. Before attending college I was worried about not being active in playing sports. In stanislaus they offer a program called Sport Intramurals for its students. To join it costs 20 bucks per semester to join, which isn't a bad deal at all. We get access to sports such as basketball, flag football, and soccer. I was glad when I found about sport intramurals from a friend of mine. I immediate decided to join and play basketball. I joined a team called “Warriors,” which was awkward because I didn't know anyone on that team. We had our first game as a team on wednesday of last week. We lost to a score of 48-52 to a team called“Who do you know.” We started off the game on a good note leading by 20 points. But as the game went on, that lead decreased and eventually we saw ourselves falling behind. We made a good push in the end to make it close, but we weren't able to win in the end. I myself had a pretty good game finishing with 17 points. The only think I need to work on is my stamina. Right now i’m really out of shape and need to get back to basketball form. As fun it is being able to play basketball again, I won't be neglecting my school work. I made a promise to myself that taking care of school will always be my number 1 priority in college.

I am currently undecided into what to major in. I have been thinking long and hard in what I want to do for my career. Two months into college and I'm still getting ideas. My plan is to find a major before the second semester starts so I could get working on it. Also I don't want to be behind in my classes while I take my time deciding what to major in. I’ve had many ideas on what i would major in, but in the end I knew they weren't for me. The first major I thought about was majoring in criminal justice. What influenced me was that I recently had a cousin graduate from a training program for becoming a correctional officer. But after talking to him about his on the job experience I decided that it wasn’t for me. He described how stressful it is dealing with rude and disrespectful inmates. The second was majoring in business management. After doing some research and learning the skills needed for the job, I decided not to. I Know my strengths and weakness and the skills needed for management did not match up. My mother has been pushing me to study and become a Xray technologist. Becoming a Xray tech is something that interests me but hesitant in doing. I need to do more research into it before deciding to major in it. Doing research before choosing a major in my opinion is crucial before deciding. It gives an idea of what classes to take and the road to getting their.

I have been enjoying the group discussions that are taking place in our English class. I like how we discuss varies essays and topics as a class. The discussions gives as a chance to speak our mind of what we personally think about the topic being discussed. We can also relate to what is being said through our own experiences. This is a great opportunity to learn about our classmates and the opinions they have on the topic. We can agree with what they said or disagree with what a person said in a friendly matter. It is a great way to get new ideas and to enhance your thinking. We have discussed many topics and I just like how everyone is speaking their mind without any judgement taking place. The discussions are taking place in a good and healthy environment where everyone can voice what they think. But only a few selected students take part in the discussions. I encourage anyone to speak up if anything comes to mind or you're itching to add an idea to the discussion. This can be a great opportunity to be part of the discussion and not an outsider. I understand that not everyone can relate or has anything to say, but we should make the effort to be part of the discussions. I myself try my best to say or add something to the discussion when the best time arises. Remember, part of our group discussion grade is audience participation so help out your fellow classmates by participating!
