If I said November could get any better, I'd be a big fat liar BY TRRVIS ESTVOLO Columnist Youwon't believ.e the time I had at the beginning of November. Senously, my luck was impeccable the first week of this month. On Monday I woke.up before my alarm went ~ff and had a bunch ofextra energy. Oddly, it wasn't all that ~old outside, so I got up early and ran a couple of miles. As soon as my classes got over, I finished up a group project that wasn't due for another two weeks. At a burger joint I ran into a girl from one of my classes that I've had a crush on for a long time, and managed to get her phone number. Tuesday meant I had to go to work. Just before I left my house my boss called and told me that there wasn't enough work for me to do, but since I was a student employee working on campus, they would BSU renders still pay me. Man. How could that get any better? So I drove over to the mall area and went shopping most of the day.

I got all of my stuff done early and Skipped my lunch, so they let me go home an hour early. I laid around the rest of the day watching movies I borrowed from friends. famed On Friday, I had a hot date at an expensive restau- rant. The girl was hot, the food was amazing, and then, near the end of the meal, I found a small piece of fingernail in my fettuccine, complained about it, and they camped my entire bill. talent On Saturday, there was a "Smurfs" marathon on Cartoon Network. I got to watch all of my favorite episodes. It was awesome. After I laid around all morning, Iwent down to the gym and jumped into a pickup game of basketball. I was on fire.
