Senior Year is shaping up exactly as I thought it would: I’m incredibly busy and time seems to be flying by. My horrid math class is going OK so far, but I’m saying that before we’ve had our first test. I’ve done good on the quizzes, but those questions are usually just a taste of what you see on the tests. The wierd part is that I do very well on the Calculus and higher math, but the Algebra always gets me. Oh well.

I’m off to get a haircut in a minute or so. I decided I don’t like shaved-head Trav so much. So I’m going back to regular-hair Trav with Kung-Fu Grip™.

Today ends the second week of classes. My first impression is that I’m not going to have too many problems. My Econ 300 class is going to require a lot of studying, but other than that, I dont’ think I’ll have to work too much.

I have an art class that’s really interesting. It’s an art & computer class. All of our work is done either in Illustrator or Photoshop AND on a Mac. So far, I really prefer my PC over the cutesy, slow machine from Steve Jobs & company.

I have been playing Star Wars Galaxies for about a week and have managed to achieve the title of Master Artisan. I have never played a massively multiplayer online game that allows you to gain a useful position in the society so fast. Some sociologists should study the dynamics of these kinds of games. There is a lot of player interaction.

I’ll head off to my first class here in about 15 minutes…I slept good last night, which is a first for me on a night before classes begin. It’s amazing how confident I am…Not a care in the world really. I guess it should be that way after 17 years of the first day of class. I’m going to break this semester in half!!! The marathon is almost over. As tempting as it would be to get my masters now, I just don’t think I want to. Trying to do something academically without doing it wholeheartedly is stupid, so, I’m going to jump straight into the job market. Carpe Dium!

In a few days, I’ll no longer be one of the boys of summer. That’s cool though. I’m ready to get this show on the road. Senior year feels somehow different than the years before. I guess it’s because the marathon is almost over. I’m going to see Freddy Vs. Jason here in a few minutes. It’ll probably be the campiest, dumbest piece of trash ever, but it’s free!!

Four days from now, I’ll be back in Morehead. The summer has been ok. I got to do pretty much whatever I wanted and Mom and Dad paid me really well to run errands three or four times a week. I think I’m ready to be really busy again for awhile. By Halloween, I will regret saying that, but that’s the way it always goes. I’m hungry. I think I’ll shower and go out.
