Frank's Last Stand

For my last blog post I thought it would be appropriate to talk about how much I enjoyed this class. Being able to write and respond to topics on a blog every week was very engaging, and was something that I never would have expected for a Comm B course. It was also fun to have discussions during class time. Being a senior, it seems that a majority of the classes that I’ve taken over the past two years have been people going for the same major, and it was refreshing if not reminiscent of freshmen year, to be able to interact regularly with people going on different paths once again.
For the remainder of my blog, I think I’ll talk about what I did today (yes this may seem like a lame move, but play along this could be fun). I started off the day by waking up at around 8 o’clock and deciding right away that I was going to skip the first and only class I had today. Instead I decided to go for a run with my black lab, Jaeger. After cleaning myself up and having a bite to eat I started to do some laundry, while convincing myself that I was doing homework; in reality I was actually playing video games with my roommates. Not to soon after my distraction I put in another round of laundry, and went outside to work on my truck; the four wheel drive has been giving me some trouble lately, but I think that I can get it to work better if I could just engage the actuator manually, as opposed to using the malfunctioning, electric, push-button in the cab. After much fiddling and cussing, I emerged from beneath the truck both cold and greasy, however my frozen keister seems to have not been in vain, for my scheme seems to be working. In order to reward myself I made a delicious meal of jambalaya and a venison steak marinated in my own secret jalapeño BBQ sauce, with some homemade pecan pie for a dessert (I really enjoy cooking- a skill inherited from my mother I believe- and though unorthodox, pies have always been my specialty). Finally at the end of the day, I find myself at my computer writing this blog. Perhaps later I may go out and have a beer at the Essen Haus, with my roommates, but that has yet to be determined.
As this is my final post, I would like to thank all you dedicated fans for following my work these long months. I would also like to give a special thanks to my most dedicated fan, Christine, who has followed all of my posts. Thanks again, and please be gentle on the grading.
