My plans for the summer

Well, the summer is looking very promising. I leave for Greece in 6 days. I haven't started packing yet, but I know just about everything I plan to take with me. One of the few "comforts" I'll be carrying is a small bag of golf discs. A fellow golfer informed me the other day that my golf has reached across the ocean to the Mediterranean. On a separate, but equally exciting, golf note I placed in my first golf tournament this weekend. I placed low, but I placed, won two frisbees too! Back to Greece, it's looking to be a promising trip. I'll see much of Ancient Greece, and as an added bonus there's a topless beach less than a mile from the hotel I'll be in for the bulk of the trip. There will be learning as well, but this opportunity offers much more than a book education. It's total immersion. Greek food, greek customs, greek women. My sister even talked me into the Byzantine rights offered by the Greek Orthodox Church. I'll be back this fall!!!

Wish I had been on Beale Street

So I'm a little displeased that the one and only trek I missed this semester was on Beale Street (a fallacy I plan to correct just as soon as I finish these last few assignments). So instead I'm gonna blog about the end of my semester.
Aside from the mad rush to play catch up, the end of the semester is going extremely well. All of my finals are now finished and, with the exception of E-mailing my final assignment for Honors Inquiry, I have finished everything on my to do list. All of my professors prepared their classes extremely well. I feel confidant about all of them and all A's for the semester is an in-reach dream. I've finished my FAFSA and registered for the fall semester. Also, I'm applying for a tutoring scholarship for the fall. I now know the wang short form of tai chi, some quantum and nuclear physics, more about Memphis, and more French and Spanish than when I began. I am very pleased with the semester and how I am finishing it.
