My boring weekend

This weekend my parents went out of town, and my sister went to her friend’s house. I stayed at home, and did a whole lot of nothing. I did watch the Tar Heels go down 40-12, and eventually lose embarrassingly. The over achievers finally played someone, and got their tails kicked. Other then that I pretty much did a little of everything like watch movies, play 360, get on the computer, and sleep. The storm kept knocking the direct tv on Friday night, so I got really bored, and watched a movie. The movie was 3-10 to Yuma, which is one of my favorite movies. I didn’t get much sleep because I stayed up late doing nothing. My weekend was pretty much boring, so im going to stop wrtiting now.
