It is very likely that I will be taking classes this semester in an attempt to get some kind of degree within the next 12 months. Unfortunately, these classes are not at a convenient location. Even more tragically, I need to get out there four times a week. Either I drive or I rely on public transporation.
According to my calculations, it takes 90 minutes to get to school on the bus, whereas it takes just 20 by horseless carriage. Still, having a free pass for the bus > paying more for gas.
Next week being spring break, I will not have school. That right there is awesome.
However, the schedule at work is also changed to reflect that it is spring break, and as a result, I do not go to work until next Wednesday, giving me five days of no school and no work. So, I get to catch up on some movies I have not seen yet and do some other top secret stuff.
Maybe if “top secret” meant sleep in a lot…
It has been almost ten years since I first publicly embarassed an old classmate of mine in fifth period creative writing class by turning him into a tragically clueless cartoon character in The Adventures of Avery Later. Ever since I started collecting my old website stuff in an archive, I have wanted to put the original Avery website in there for completeness’ sake. Well, it’s finally arrived, complete with all the original graphics and even the few comics that were available to download.
I still have the comics (my favorites, the Star Wars-inspired ones, are sadly missing and may have been lost to time), and would like to eventually put them all online when I get the motivation and the free manhours it would require. In the meantime, enjoy what was probably the biggest in-joke from my high school years. It is probably worthy of mention that my online nickname was derived from Avery’s insatiable appetite for bagels.
I did make some necessary alterations to the pages to remove the RSAC rating since they are defunct and have fixed all broken images. Any external links (especially the email links) are unchanged and do not work. You have been warned!
It’s that time of the semester again. I took two finals exams this morning, in Financial Accounting and Anthropology. I have a written take-home final in English Literature that I have completely blocked from my mind until at least tomorrow (since it isn’t due until Friday, of course). With that exception, the semester is over for me 😀
Gauging from how hard it is these days to get up in the morning and go to school, we really are close to the end of the semester.
