    Default Ain't it Glorious!?

    Well Gents,
    It would appear I have survived my first semester of grad school and while grades aren't official yet, it appears I've done so with a 4.0 GPA. Not bad for a restless young lad from Port Tampa, huh? At the moment I'm enjoying something I have been appallingly lacking in recent weeks LEISURE TIME! I'm sipping a cold suds, watch my first Rays game of the year (tonight the Bronx Bums are in town). Summer semester doesn't start until 11 May 13. I feel like I could easily crawl in bed and sleep away at least half of that. Summer semester shouldn't be bad, a teaching class and a creative writing-Poetry class. It IS glorious! Planning to have several cocktails on Friday night along with several delicious cigars.

    Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

    Good job! I haven't had the experience but have been living vicariously through my daughter. She graduates shortly with 19 years straight of schooling.

    You should be studying, or at least worrying about studying. You are not a proper graduate student if you are not constantly feeling guilty about work you haven't done.

    Whatcha' Major?.. I am trying to get into a Penn Stat Geospatial, but it has proven to be pretty hard just to get in... I figured already having an MBA would help, but nope.. Apparrently they have standard, or something... Good luck!

    Creative Writing. Looking forward to a career teaching at whatever college will have me and being a part time starving writer.
