Alright sports fans, we're here in the bottom of the semester with only one week left to go. Unfortunately, it is the most feared of them all...finals week. A test of perseverance; of sleeping upright in chairs betwixt Western Civ chapters; of perpetually imbibing caffeine and energy drinks not approved by the FDA; of constantly struggling between the forces of Facebook and the final English paper. However, we shall persist.

As far as school goes, this week was not too bad. The professors were pretty good about trying to review and calm us before our exams, rather than slathering on new subjects for study. Concerning my exam schedule, I have Western Civ on Monday, Botany on Tuesday, and Spanish on Wednesday. I also have a paper for English due on Friday, which will serve as our final for the class. For those wondering, I think most people's exams turn out to be on different days. The most you'll ever have on a day is two exams, and your professor might even let you take your exam on another day if they have another section of that same class.

While the past week was busy, it was crucial to at least make room for a Cinco de Mayo dinner on Monday.

We also had a softball game or two this week for intramurals. As usual, the boys at Sigma Nu cleaned up...but not really. Here are some intense action shots.

And that's about all I've got for the week. Pres, my Big Brother in Sigma Nu, took me and his past Little Bros out to dinner tonight. I have a nice shot of that right hur...

Alright, I really have to get back to studying now. I'll definitely be throwin down at least a few more blogs, so check back if you are so inclined. I might even do a few at the beginning of this summer depending on how long our subscription with TypePad lasts for. See you next time I emerge from the hole...

P.S. Special thanks to our righteous blog bosses Baker, Matt, and Dr. Boggs for taking us out to eat at the Mellow Mushroom on Tuesday night. The calzone was definitely in the zone!

Alright, with my Spanish and Botany tests down, the only thing standing between me and my finals is a research paper for English. If anybody has written any opinion papers on the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, just send me an email and we can discuss prices.

Last week was busy and pretty hard, but I realized during the middle of it that I don't so much mind studying. When you think about it, it's pretty sweet. I mean, I just sat down on Thursday night/Friday morning for many an hour to study and actually learn botany. I just filled my head up with anything and everything botany. You could say that there was a little botany plant of knowledge inside my head just growing and growing into what hopefully turned out to be a beautiful "A" on my test. But grades aside, I really am starting to like botany a lot. Possible focus in my major? ...I think possibly maybe. I guess the thing I can't stand about school is having to do pointless work or memorize material that is truly of no worth to the general population. And to be honest, Wofford and its genius professors are pretty good about avoiding that kind of stuff.

To celebrate my hard work, I went out to the "Shuckin' & Shaggin'" event at Old Main with the good old bro crew on Friday night. While I'm not a fan of southern tradition, crackin open some ooey gooey oysters is one part of it I don't mind.

They also had some events of fun going on Thursday night. I guess the school wants us to have as much fun as possible before entering into the fiery hell of finals. During the afternoon, there were some blow-up obstacle courses, sumo wrestling, and fried Oreos and funnel cakes all running amuck on the lawn.

Reppin that NFG! (Thanks Jess!)

Thursday night, this band who liked to call themselves "North Mississippi Allstars" came to play. Since I was trying to be scholarly and review my botany, I was unable to see most of the performance. However, I did take a break to catch the tail-end of the performance. It was actually pretty tasty from what I heard, and everyone seemed to be having a really good time. The drummer also played on the washboard, and it was pretty siq. Check it...

Other than that, not too much else is going on. I gotta knock out that English paper, then it's study, study, study for final exams next week (May 12-16). Peace out thugz.
