5 down, 3 to go

Seeing that it's been three months since I've posted, I feel compelled to put something up here. So yeah...the whole keeping this blog up-to-date over the semester has been a roaring success. And next semester promises to be even bigger. Yes, that's right: there might even be two posts then! Contain your enthusiasm now, I'm not finished. Hold the celebrations until after the post is complete.

So I finished my fith semester here at Tech on the 14th. Hard to believe that it went so quickly. Hopefully I did decently in all my classes, I won't know for sure until final grades are posted. In at least one of my courses I had an A, so that is reassuring. I definitely enjoyed my classes this semester...for the most part very interesting. We'll see how next semester goes. I'll probably have less freedom in choice, seeing as how the number of semesters I have remaining at Tech has hopefully dwindled to 3.

Speaking of "5 down, 3 to go", my dad has a story that he tells me every time I mention how quickly time seems to be passing. I think he might forget that he's told it to me before, I don't know. But anyway, he talks about remembering distinctly finishing his last exam fall of his freshman year and thinking "One down, seven to go." In almost no time at all (at least according to the story), he was walking out of his final exam fall of his senior year and thinking "Seven down, one to go". Of course, he might be rubbing off on me, as I think I've shared that story five or six times since Thanksgiving as I've thought back on where the semester went. Isn't it funny how we experience time? I wish I could experience time the way I will when I'm middle-aged and then in old-age, just to compare to what it feels like now. I imagine it will only get faster, but still...I wonder.

Well, it's now 0200 and I've had around 7 hours of sleep in the past 63. I'm hitting the sack
