The Finals Countdown

Well UNH, we have made it to yet another finals week. This is my second to last time I'll be taking finals as an undergrad and from what I can remember it might be the only time I've had a final in all of my classes. Although, two those are papers so I only have two exams.

It has been one hell of a semester. Late night drinks and late night research sessions is probably the best way to describe it for me. Stumbling home from the bars and stumbling home from Dimond Library... although I did most of my research in the comfort of my room. Got to love the online data bases. EBSCO and JStor (among dozens of others): the ultimate tools for lazy students.

I can honestly say this has probably been the fastest semester of my UNH career and I'll admit the blog was lacking at times. I had a hard time staying on top of all things UNH and for once it took a back seat to my work load. That being said, I think it was a decent semester of blog posts and columns and I look forward to rejuvenating the blog after break. I have a few surprises in store and others in the works, one of which is sure to shock campus. Muhahaha.

But for now, good luck on your finals, study hard and have a great break. I'll see you in January. As usual I will try to post at least once a week during break, so don't be a stranger.

Stay classy, not UMassy.

The Final Countdown

Ladies and gentlemen of Nonsensical Nation,

We are approximately 1,000 visitors away from hitting 100,000 visitors since this blog started in late March of 2009. This is a huge milestone for us and I thank each and every one of you who has come back to read it again and again. We've shared laughs, been through good times and bad (and good posts and bad) and it has been a wild ride. Some of you may have noticed a new writer "STAN" joined last night. Yes, it is the same "Stan" as my story about my roommate from last semester. He is currently abroad in Australia and will be sharing stories and thoughts from down-under for this semester.

With that I also have one final announcement.

Next year will be my senior year here at UNH and I've been giving it a lot of thought. I have decided that the blog will return to how it started: just me as the one and only writer. I have been contemplating this idea for a while  (actually since last summer) and I decided I want everything to go and wrap up exactly how I want. I was bouncing back and forth between "hiring" more people, but I decided it really is more work and time consuming having more contributors. The others will still be listed as contributors until the end of this semester and have access to write, but after that it's back to just me. So there it is. One more year and back to the way it started, giving UNH hell, holding nothing back all on my own. I don't see it being that much of a difference since the others only posted on rare occasions, but I still wanted to make the announcement. 

Stay classy, not UMassy.
