first semester of college...check.
so my first semester of college is over, pending the next 11 days when i take finals. and wow. it's been pretty interesting. college obviously has its ups and downs. being far from home turned out to be both. making new friends went pretty well. grades are eh but we'll work on those. social life can sometimes be eh despite lots of friends but we're going to work on that too. overall things are good. can't wait to go home and see everyone.
i watched it's a wonderful life last night with jess and anthony. it was awesome. good mr. ross memories and it put me in a christmas mood.
we're playing vcu tonight in basketball. richmond rivalry. should be pretty intense, man. inner-city kids versus rich suburbanites.
