My Slightly Less Than Amazing Day :)

So, here it is. This is my first blog ever for a class. In writing that last sentence, I realized that the word “blog” is not in the glossary of my version of Microsoft Word. It seems strange since I have the 2003 edition and blogs have been around longer than that. Oh well. Enough rambling. I do not really know what to talk about, so I will tell you about my day and then myself.
My name is Ryan. I am nineteen and somewhere in the neighborhood of 5’7”. I hate being short. My basketball game suffers due to my severe height disadvantage, but I think that I would make an excellent Roman-Greco wrestler. Maybe I am not stocky enough for that though. So anyways. Back to me. I love music (listening to it, not playing it. However, I am taking an intro guitar class next semester). I have an extensive CD collection that spans over fifty years of music. I like everything from country to rap. If you do not believe me, just look. I have Hank Williams next to Immortal Technique. My real passion is folk music. Give me some Cat Stevens or some Decemberists any day. I also like art. I am not such a big fan of paintings but I love anything in pencil. That is not to say that there are no amazing paintings, color just is not my thing. I am relatively cynical, but I love to laugh and have fun. If you asked my friends what they thought of me, they would probably say that I am a sarcastic asshole. This is true for the most part, but I have many close friends, so I must be doing something right. I think that I am relatively intelligent. I ranked twenty-third of around 450 students. That is not that great, but it is not terrible either. I have two dogs, a wonderful, though quite pissy, mother, and a girlfriend that I love dearly. I am a freshman at the University of Memphis. This is my second semester. It is not bad, but I did not think it would be quite this hard. So that is me. Stalkers, you know where to find me and what I look like now. Seriously. Do not stalk me
That is just creepy. Thanks for the admiration though.
Now onto my day. I HATE CHEMISTRY! Even worse than the class, itself, is the fact that it is a night class taught by the most boring person I have ever met. Chemistry is bad enough already, but when you put a lazy kid in a night class with a boring teacher, you are just asking for sleep. I have managed to avoid it thus far, but I can feel its comfortable tentacles grasping at me. English makes me even madder. By all accounts, I should hate this class. It is at eight in the morning and about as far from my dorm as you can get, but I cannot bring myself to dislike it. Today I finally met the famous/infamous Wendy Sumner, and I must say that the class sounds interesting to say the least. After English, I have Calculus I, which is the number one most failed or dropped class in the United States. I think that it is easy, but it will probably get harder. We got to do a driving lab to get information about velocity today. Then I had a short break, which was subsequently followed by a class that I absolutely loathe. It is called UNHP. It is like a sociology class, but not even relatively interesting. Honestly, I have no idea what the class is meant to teach us. It has something to do with globalization being the evil spawn of the Satan that is America. It is depressing to say the least. Then I am done…for four hours. Then we have already talked about my least favorite class. Therefore, that was my day. It had its ups and its downs.
After the actual class day, I ate some dinner with a friend/ex-girlfriend, who I have not seen in months. She is pretty cool, so it was good to play catch-up.
It feels good to just sit back, vent to my computer screen, and watch some TV. It would almost be a break if it were not for this blog. The great thing is that tomorrow, I only have two classes and I am done at 11:15 A.M.
I realize that I sound mean and bitter about my day, but all in all, it was not that bad. There was even one good aspect to chemistry. I aced a pop quiz, which I rather excited about.
