senior year, here i come
and summer comes to a close, both in weather and in the break from classes. tomorrow is the first day of my senior year of college.
yeah, i’m a senior, and boy, i feel it. i now greet things that used to be impressive, or intimidating, or at least interesting with the seen-it-all assuredness of a 3 year veteran. unflappable, i know. the freshman girls in skin-tight jeans? whatever. the legions of frat guys doing their best state-school impressions? whatever. it just seems kind of silly.
as for the upcoming school year, i’m concerned first and foremost about my thesis. i don’t want to half-ass this thing. i want to do a damn good job on it and be able to hold it up against other academic works. i honestly believe there’s a good niche for me to write this thesis, so i don’t want to drop the ball.
socially, Ben and i are committed to having a good time this year. that means actually going out and doing shit. and hey, we took a big step on Sunday by actually throwing a party — a fairly successful one, too, since about 35 people showed up. especially since i’m 21, i think i should be doing something halfway interesting on Friday and Saturday nights.
hmm, welp, i guess i should get back to work. Web Comm’s going fine, although the HR site build continues to lumber on and slowly strangle me. the RovCon stuff is going fine. yep. all systems normal, except for this cold. :( over and out.
