I will have a more substantial post for you later on but since it’s been so long since I’ve put up anything I wanted to share just a little bit. I am officially a senior. I finished my last exam this morning. Now all I have to do is pack everything up, go to my storage locker a few million more times, and fly home. I’ll be home this Saturday.
So here’s the final word on my housing situation. I’ll be living in Kellum 519 next year. It’s one of the big Kellum rooms (the ones that include the width of the hallway). My roommate will be Aaron Gavila. I’m really pumped about it. Next year Kellum will boast not just the two of us but also Andy, Curtis, Jason, and Suzanne. Rock on!
The worship team meeting this past Sunday went very well. Four of the seven people interested showed up, and I’ve since been able to talk to the other three. I’m excited about the talents that they all have and I can’t wait to hear us all together. Only a few short months away!
So I’ve taken 1.5 out of 5 final exams as of right now. What? Well my Organizational behavior exam is split up over two days. I take the other half tomorrow (open notes, cakewalk). This morning I took my Spanish oral exam. I conjugated a couple of verbs incorrectly and I completely forgot the verb tomar (the guy needed to take some aspirin, what can I say). Friday I have an exam in Christian Tradition which technically is optional. If I choose not to take it my grade overall will be a B. But I think I can pull up my grade by taking it so I’m going for it. Next week, the real exam week, I’ll have tests on Wednesday (3 PM – 5 PM, Spanish written) and Thursday (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM, Religion & Science). I usually get pretty nervous about this time of year. So much is riding on a single test of each class. But this semester a combination of confidence, cockiness, and good grades has taken all the pain out of the process.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything, but there hasn’t been too much to report. I do have one outrage to pass along. Remember university housing? Yeah, they’re idiots. Freshman year they made me attend a second orientation (costing me $1300 in travel fees) just to sign a paper. Sophomore year I tried to live with three other guys in the same Salley Hall; the other three were put in Kellum, I was put in Deviney and it took a total of eight separate switches to get two of us in the same room in Salley. Junior year I tried to live with three other guys in the same McCollum Hall room; two of us got in (including me), one got put in Smith, and one didn’t make it on campus at all. As a result Scott and I moved over to Rogers Hall. This year I’m thinking that with my senior priority number nothing can stop me. All three of my potential roommates are coming from on campus unlike the year before. We’re all trying to get into an upperclassmen dorm (McCollum) which is easier than getting four people into a freshmen dorm. So what could go wrong?

Last year at this time I was feeling very old. I was officially leaving my teenage years and was beginning my third decade of life. Now here I sit at 21 years old and I don’t feel nearly as old as I did a year ago. I can’t quite explain it. On top of that, everyone told me that this was supposed to be one of those landmark or milestone birthdays. Whatever. So I can drink. I’ve had alcohol before today. So I’m able to buy alcohol. I’ve legally bought it before, just not here in the U.S. There just isn’t any drama to this day. Just another birthday, just like every other birthday is just another birthday.
