What's up?

Well here we go. I tried this journal thing once before, and I didn't keep up with it that often, so let's see if I can do better. This wasn't really a good time to start this thing either, since I have a Physics test tomorrow, but what can you do? I guess I'm just procrastinating like always. Anyway, for those of you who don't know me, I come from a small town in Northeast Missouri called Hannibal, about 17,500 people live there. I'm a sophomore in college right now, going to the University of Missouri Rolla and majoring in Electrical Engineering. Not to be boastful or anything, but I used to be a hell of an athlete. I swam competitively for 10 years and played tennis for 8 years. Swimming in high school, I was a state qualifier for 4 years and earned All-State honors my Junior and Senior years (8th place in the 200 IM both years). I still love to do those things, but I'm not anywhere close to the level I was 2 years ago. I'm pretty involved with music, especially jazz, I've been playing Clarinet and Saxophones for 8 years now. Other than that, I'm an extremely busy person with a lot to complain about. So sit back, relax, and hear my ranting and raving about the world and its inhabitants.
