Week 1 of Classes Done

So the first week was easy. Classes didn't start until Wednesday and I don't have Friday classes, so basically I just had to show up at my classes two days so far. We did nothing but pick up our syllabi. I think it's going to be a pretty manageable schedule. Things went smoothly except for my very first class on Wednesday. I'm taking this one class, statistics, at the nearby community college called Shelton State. I was relegated to doing this because the only openings for that class at The University of Alabama were MWF from 8 to 8:50 a.m. Obviously that wasn't going to work. So, I headed down to the community college and arrived at like 12:58 for my 1 p.m. class. I asked some lady at the desk where my classroom was because I couldn't find it. She informed me that there was another campus, lol, and that my class was there. I got directions and arrived 18 minutes late on the first day. Nice. Didn't matter though because all we were doing was watching some film informing us what "Statistics" was about. One of my professors seems like she might be a real bitch, but I also have a couple professors who are seemingly interesting people. Ok, I won't bore you with any more school stories.

Other than that, things have been really cool. I've been sort of punishing my body with lots of alcohol over the last week. Whatever, it's the first week of classes, so it's standard to go out a bunch. I'll chill a lil bit once classes start. It's definitely been a really good time though so far. My biggest leak at the bars has been buying like EVERYONE I know tons of shots. The nice thing about it is that going out like 5 nights in Tuscaloosa only hits the wallet about as hard as one night out at the Vegas nightclubs. I can handle it though.

Other than that I've been to the gym a couple times this week with my boy Zack. Spent significant amount of time in the sauna too sweating out the impurities.

One other thing. College dudes (and others) that are reading: don't bet football this fall. I made a mental note to blog about this the other night. I remember when I was a freshman in college and just getting into online poker how I got stuck for the first like 9 months and just played ALL the time. The sickness that is online poker and gambling took over my life. There was a period of time when I wasn't even interested in doing social things because I needed to stay home and get my fix. I know this is already the case for a lot of you guys reading this, and I can only hope you find your way out. Things, I guess, worked out for me in this business, but I think it's a lot more important to get the most out of your college experience. Gambling can only detract from that. That's my public service announcement for the day. If it saves one kid from turning into a complete degen then I've done my job. Hope this paragraph wasn't too weird.

Cheers.
