Phew!! What a looonng day! I am not only talking about the day Andrew spent at class, football practice, and trying to find a spare second in his day to text me updates, but just trying to get a hold of him, let alone throughout the day was a tiring ordeal. If you're sitting next to a football player in class and don't find yourself too intimidated to talk to the big guy, strike up a conversation and ask to have a look at his schedule for the week.(They'll have a written copy because nobody could remember all the things they have at certain times). The Clara Bell Smith Center and Student Athlete Support Services(SASS) help these guys find tutors and provide them a place to print off work and study all hours of the night. Andrew has tutors this semester, but I don't think he's doing half bad with a 4.0 grade-point average as of now. Andrew's classes range from business accounting classes to your statistics class with a sports feel to it.
With the Purdue going well and Maxwell seeing some playing time, practice this week must have been worth it when Maxwell texted me around noon that he was heading to practice and closer to 6p.m. he was happy practice was finally over. Across from Spartan Stadium is the football team's practice field which is guarded by high fences and covering, blocking any outsiders from watching the Spartans prepare for the upcoming game. They have their own set of lights and high platforms where football staff can record practice footage on the day.
Maxwell was ready to fuel up after practice and went to the new and improved Brody cafeteria, if you can even call it your typical cafeteria and grabbed some grub before heading home. At home Andrew was able to relax with him roommate who is a football player as well and watch some Thursday night NFL football on TV.
Maxwell shouldn't expect too many more relaxing moments with a hopeful Rose Bowl game in the future along with finals coming up!
