Well, I've been working/hanging out at the Honors program office for about a month now, and I'm beginning to comprehend the fact that I will be leaving here in a week and a half.  It's really sad.  What's going to end up happening is I'll wake up at 6 am in my bed in Memphis, and, after figuring out where I am, try to figure out what I'm going to do now that I'm up.  I'll probably end up waking everyone else as I get groomed and dressed, then head out the door to search the local job market.  I'll most likely end up working at Kroger's or the donut shop.

The time I went home before last, my dad, brother, and I smoked some Cuban cigars.  During that same trip, I had a CAO MX2 (my personal favorite) as well.  The last time I went home, my dad and I had some Bolivar cigars (pretty good, but not as nice as the MX2 or the Montecristo).  So, sitting around up here in Cookeville, I decided I'd like to have a cigar.  Unfortunately, gas stations here carry Swisher Sweets, Phillie Blunts, and an assortment of little rinky-dink things.  The tobacco shops I've found carry the same, plus a few CAO and Baccarats.  That wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that these places have no idea how to keep cigars, so they're all drier than hell.  Or perhaps "dryer" is the right word.  Anyway, Hell has more moisture than these cigars, which means that they don't smoke very well at all.  So I've resorted back to my old-time cigar: the Chocolate Aroma Phillie Blunt (or Chocolate Phillie).  I mean, it's not as bad as it could be - after all, Black&Milds are sold in the gas stations (see "little rinky-dink things"), but my Cigar Walks with Jesus just aren't as nifty as they were when I took an MX2 with me.  Ah, well...as I said, it could be worse.

I've been taking this calculus course online; when I finish it, I will be able to substitute my grade for this course for my previous calculus grade.  I've determined that, if I get an A in this course, my cumulative GPA will be 3.56, which will not only let me keep all of my scholarships, but will also make me a full member of the Honors program again.  Yippee!  Of course, in the highly unlikely event that I make a D in the class, I'll have a 3.1 or so, which will still keep my scholarships, but that's beside the point.  My grades thus far:

Aside from Quiz 3.2, I'm doing very well, I should think.  And I'll get that one back.  Anyway, time to get going.
