Beginning of the End

my senior exams start tuesday so last week the pressure was really on.
in order to optimize our cramming the teachers fit as many of us into their classes as they could.
needless to say, we didnt learn anything.
i dont know about everyone else but for me it was because being around all those guys made me remember the good times.
like back when i used to hit wang li like it was going to help find a cure for cancer.
or that time finnegan was totally emasculated by his "girlfriend" when she made him do her homework for her so she could spend more time with her real boyfriend.
oh wait.
that was just this friday.
i guess im in a sentimental mood because im going to be leaving them all behind soon.
turns out im the only guy at my school going to midamerica nazarene university.
everyone else is going to wvu. i applied there but they rejected me because i was, quote unquote, "proponderous".
now i dont know what a 'nazarene' is (i should probably look that up on wikipedia before i go there), so to the extent of my knowledge i wasnt lying when i told them i was one.
all i know is that they were so blown away by my essay "what would the great nazareneth do?" they gave me an awesome scholarship.
i was just guessing when i said "smite the wicked." that was my whole essay. just that phrase. complete with lack of capitalization.
anyway, mnu is in kansas which i think is going to work out great.
i mean, anyone who knows me knows i hate inclines (life in west virginia has been hell).
the only problem is its an hour behind us so its probably going to take me a few weeks to get my body clock adjusted. ill just have to prepare myself for the embarrassment of wandering around going "man it must be 4:30" when its only 3:30.
