Well I'm in the home stretch - 2 more weeks of classes and then a week of exams. I'm cautiously optimistic about my success this semester. I was afraid I bombed that Calculus exam, and I did, a 15 out of 30, which curved up to a C+. So I don't see how I could really fail the final. In history, I'm on top of everything. In Literature, I have ( Read more... )

The week is over and I can say that I deserve this weekend more than any weekend all semester. I finally got my ass in gear - did nothing but academics all day and night Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The results? I'm fighting my way back into 3.0+ land. I thought I failed my calculus exam but I heard there's about a 25 point curve so I'm ( Read more... )

One more week of school and then I have the whole week off for thanksgiving. Then 2 more weeks of classes after that, then finals, and I'm done. 5 semesters down, 4 more to go. But I've got a long way to go just to get through this one. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me lately, I just can't get any work done. I haven't read a single ( Read more... )

On my walk back to my dorm today, all I could think was that I have to write a live journal. (weird huh?) There's two main things about Uconn that have been driving me crazy - the school of business and residential life office (the dorms ( Read more... )

Let me start this journal with a word about a little thing called the face book. It's tough to explain but it's worth trying. It's this thing at Uconn - you make a profile for yourself like on aol except you put your picture on it, what classes you're taking, and who your friends are at uconn that are also on face book. So then face book links ( Read more... )

As I expected and as I feared, George W. Bush won the election. I really wanted Bush out, but I knew Kerry wasn't a good enough candidate to do it. The democrats blew it. When I look at the map of the red states and the blue states, a couple of things come to mind. First of all, I notice that every state that actually matters in this country ( Read more... )

My weekend started on a Wednesday and ended early Monday morning. Nice way to finish strong on the last good weekend at Uconn before it gets. I already talked about Wednesday night and Thursday night at the bar ... Friday I got into costume and stayed in it the rest of the weekend. Dale Earnheadt Jr baby! People loved it. Every now and then ( Read more... )

Girls at the bar at Uconn ... Who do they think they are? It's my birthday, I want a fun night. I finally start dancing with this one girl tonight at Huskies (Slutskies) ... This girl looks at me and turns around, gives me the hard core rejection. Most guys just brush this off and find another girl, but not me, I take it personal. Now if the ( Read more... )

Just like last year in October, my academics took the back seat to baseball. I really haven't done anything for an entire month ... In American Lit, I'm about four stories behind that I have to read and write 1 page papers on each. In history, I haven't done any of the reading that's assigned twice a week but somehow managed to guess my way ( Read more... )

Well, that was quite a weekend. I should've went to the casino and bet it all on red, I would've won a fortune. Boston was crazy, obviously ... I've never seen a city so happy. It didn't feel real until walking into the ticket office and getting my tickets. After that me and Max, or Dallas as he now calls himself, went to the bar to start pre- ( Read more... )
