well damn

Well damn it's been close to two weeks since I graced you all with my virtual presence. I'll assume you missed me dearly and that this blog is basically your salvation...you're welcome.

Things have been going! I took my first calculus exam today which went just swimmingly! Swimmingly in the sense of swimming in shark infested water with about 500 lacerations all over your body. Needless to say, it ate me up.

On the other hand I absolutely dominated my Drugs and Behavior exam. 350 definitions/concepts, 100 notecards, and 7 hours of studying later I got a 96%. I believe there is some calculus involved in that. First, you take the derivative of notecards, use the quotient rule for hours studied, then take the inverse  of definitions and put all of that over a common denominator of 52817093250124 then you can find the answer.

I got an 88% on my psych exam. bleh.

I also have something like a 98.9% in Economics. Mike Quinn, you raised me right.

Aside from schoolwork my intramural soccer team competed in our first league game. We won 4 to 3 against a much taller team. If you added up all the other teams height, then added up all of our height and subtracted our total height from their total height they were basically playing with an extra man. (More calculus reasoning there.)

I'm still looking for more ways to get involved. Aside from intramural soccer I am not sure what intramurals are left to sign up for. I saw they have racquetball and although I have never played I assume that with the help of a few Youtube videos and my natural athleticism I will be a pro in no time. If I don't do intramural racquetball I may very well start making trips to Trees Pool for some self taught swim lessons. Lifting everyday is good, but it gets repetitive and running on the treadmill is modern America's version of Chinese water torture.

I also think I'm going to start doing some exploring. Maybe go wander around Schenley Park or other various areas around Oakland. It would help if it wasn't so damn dreary out all the time.

Anyway, this Pittsburgh life isn't too bad. Still just a kid figuring out what the hell he wants to get out of the world and what the hell the world wants to get out of him.
