Looking Back: Senior Year - Semester 1 (11)

With a little more time on my hands, I guess now is a good time to get this final look back over with.

The year began with the addition of two new roommates; Mr. Eric Larsen and Mr. Kurt Ravenfeld to bring the grand total of four to the rooming situation. Obviously, living with 3 roommates has been different compared to just having one other person, but that is in no way a bad experience. I am enjoying it thoroughly thus far this year.

As for the academics, my first semester consisted of nothing but classes that I needed for my major, with the exception of Horror Fiction, which I greatly enjoyed. The only downside was that it was an 8:45 class, but that took nothing away from the subject matter. The class did take a trip to Eastern State Penitentiary which was a truly great and educational experience. Outside of learning the crazy history of one of Philadelphia’s greatest landmarks, I also learned the spelling of “Penitentiary”. I don’t think I even know it well enough yet to spell it without the help of spell check, but I press on. It’s not an easy word to spell.

I ended up taking Logic and Knowledge as my final Philosophy credit that I needed and I have to admit that I think the class was going to be much harder than it actually was. I ended up enjoying the class and grabbed an A for the class. I recommend this class to anyone.

I am working, I mentioned the two new jobs in my last post as well as my Angel posting job, and those 3 are keeping me on my toes. I got promoted to being the Sports editor of the newspaper as well as the head editor of our school’s literary magazine.

Overall, first semester seemed much busier than it actually was, but it turned out to be my easiest semester overall. I earned the Dean’s list for the first time in my entire career, which I must admit thrilled my mother more than it did me, but I guess it’s worth mentioning on here.

So, I guess it comes down to the final semester. The first full week has begun and it already seems to be flying by. I guess we’ll see what happens.
