7 Weeks of School Complete, Flying to Williamsburg

It's early Friday morning, and as I write this I'm one of the few people in the Birmingham airport. I'm en route to Williamsburg, VA where my mom currently lives. I'll fly into this cool town nearby called Newport News. I'm really looking forward to seeing my Mom as it's been some 2 months or so since I last got to see her.
Since my last update I attended the Alabama vs Arkansas game in Tuscaloosa. Bama looked fantastic,won 35-7, and improved to 4-0. In the last 6 years or so, I've only missed a few Alabama home football games. This one was extremely memorable as it's one of the few games I can remember where we got absolutely soaked by rain. The rain let up in the first quarter, but it made for an interesting time. The team has a ton of depth this year and has sort of answered any questions people might have had. A lot of top teams have fallen, too, so maybe just maybe this will be Bama's year for a shot at the National title. Other than that, I played the online tournaments last Sunday and they went miserably. I mincashed the warmup and bricked the other 15 or so tournaments in which I participated. I really feel like I should contribute some poker content to this blog, as I see the traffic declining :)
We're also now done with 7 weeks of school. In general, I'm pretty miserable during the weekdays and just try to grind through the classes. When I graduate in May, I'd planned on putting some resumes out because I felt like I owed it to myself to atleast see what would be out there with my degree (lol at getting a job in this economy). I might save myself the time though, as I remember being mostly happy while playing poker professionally. If the corporate 8-5 world is anywhere near as boring as classes, I don't think I'd enjoy it.
