It's been a while...

Alright, so I haven't updated this in a while, so it's time to catch up. Let's do this in a abbreviated mode.

Greek Week:

Sig Ep finished 2nd place over all. We placed 2nd in stroll which disappointed me because we finished in first last year. We won volleyball after finishing 2nd last year and made a good run, but just finished short. We didn't place in the talent show but we had a great time changing the words to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge." Made it to the semi-finals in football during with I hurt my hand, but we will talk about that later.

Spring term:

Finished the term with a 3.73 GPA, so I was very happy about that. I took 20 credits so it was a lot of work and I was worn out by the end of the term. (Macroeconomics, International Business, Intro to Entrepreneurship, Intro to Finance, and Organizational Behavior.) My hardest class by far was my Management class, Intro to Entrepreneurship. I was selected group leader, so I had to make sure that each assignment flowed and was submitted on time. It also meant that I would be up till 2 AM every night before the assignments were due. We had to complete a Feasibility study for a Kinetic Cell Phone Battery. After 6 weeks of assignments ranging from presentation, elevator pitches, and 40 pages pages, our team was ranked first and we received As. Thank God. My favorite class was Macroeconomics thanks to my professor Maria Olivero. If you ever get a chance to take a class with her, do it.

The highlight of the term was on the softball field. Sig Ep with me at shortstop won the IFC Softball Championship for the first time ever. We finished in 2nd last year so it felt great beating both TKE and Pike each by one run on the same day to win the championship.

Break week:

So I went back home to Reading for the break week and decided to finally get my hand checked. During Greek Week, I jammed my right ring finger in the final down of our flag football game. It swelled up and I simply assumed that I jammed my finger. A week or two later when the swelling went down, I couldn't bend the tip of my finger. It didn't hurt and I had finals coming up, so I let it go until term break. Well when I got home, I got an X-ray and the results showed that I had fractured the top joint in my right ring finger. I went to an orthopedist to get an opinion and they sent me to a hand specialist. It was there that I found out that I also torn the tendon in my hand and would need immediate surgery that would take 4-6 months to rehab. So I had the surgery and will be spending summer term without my right hand... AWESOME!

Summer term:

So summer term has started. I only have 15 credits with classes only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Even though I have a bum hand this term should be fine because none of my classes require much writing. My classes are interesting and the term looks to be a relaxing one. I looked at the classes I have left to graduate and I only have 11 classes left, let the countdown to graduation begin.

~352 days and counting

I'll tell you all how the rest of the term is, hopefully more often. Have a good one.
