An End To The Great Exodus

First off, I would like to apologize to anyone who has made a habit of reading this blog. I know I’ve neglected it for a while now. Ok, more like a month and a half. Hopefully my absence will be thoroughly explained.

Well, as anyone in college or a relative of someone in college will know, semester final are wrapping up and everyone is on there way home for the winter break. I’ve been home for a few days now. The time between the end of thanksgiving week and the end of finals is possibly the busiest time for any college. Classes need to be wrapped up, finals need to be studied for, taken, and graded.  Things need to be packed to get ready to go home for a month. On top of all of that, you need to enjoy the last few days with friends before you leave.  As you can probably understand, my blog was kind of low on the list of things I needed to get done.

However now that I have the time to sit down and write, I do have a couple of interesting stories to tell.

The first story isn’t much of a story really.  Me and one of my roommates are in the same chemistry class. We both wanted to do really well on the final. We decided to go and study in an IHOP for as long as we could manage on the evening of the last day of classes.  That ended up being around five hours. In that time I consumed three pots of coffee. My roommate drank four. For those of you saying, “Josh, wouldn’t staying up all night hurt your grade?”, the day between the last day of classes and the first day of exams is a free day to study or recover from hangovers or whatever. I spent most of it studying for my Calculus exam that was on the same day as the chemistry. Both of which were on the first day of exams. And if you were wondering, we both got a C on the exam.

The second story is also not much of a story. My appologies for my lousy stroy telling. To celebrate being done with our first semester of college, we decided to go see a local tradition. This guy who calls him self Piano Man plays every Tuesday in a local bar. He takes requests but usually plays songs that are good to sing as a group. We went and saw him and had a generally good time. You can see a video of him I took here below.

Well, that’s really it for now. Hope everyone has a festive holiday season and if I don’t write again soon have a happy New Year.
