Lie! I really can't stand this fad. That's all I'll say about that.
3. I'm a proficient drummer.
Another lie! I've attempted to play drums but trying to use 4 parts of my body in different rhythms is really tough. Maybe someday though.
4. Lebron James is my favorite basketball player.
NO. NO. Nonononono. The way he handles himself both on and off the court are a disgrace. Also, he's not as great as people make him out to be, he just barrels to the basket and lets the refs bail him out. And I'm more clutch than him, probably. I'm also a Laker fan, so my allegiance lies with Kobe and co. And of course, the guy is as big of a d-bag as there is:

| That kid is like 15, come on. |
5. My favorite album of all time is older than I am.
Nope! My all time favorite record (Deja Entendu by Brand New. Go listen to it.) is 8 years old. I'm obviously older than that.
6. I can dunk a basketball.
I wish! I can slap a backboard though, so if i was just 2-3 inches taller...
That leaves....
2. The longest book I've ever read was 1,000+ pages.
Yep! A couple of years ago I read David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, which clocks in at 1,079 pages. It was worth the 3-ish months I invested in it, and it's easily my favorite book of all time.
As for the semester:
This is just my second semester here, and I feel much more comfortable and settled than last semester. Before, I sort of sat around and kept to myself during classes, but now, I tend to chat a bit more, and I've met some pretty rad people so far.
As expected, math gave me an absurd amount of trouble; yet recently it hasn't been as bad despite the material getting harder. I don't really understand why. I've always been extremely proficient at basic algebra, but throw in the letter y, some fractions and a radical or two, and I'm dunzo.
English has been a pleasant departure from the essay-read-essay-test-essay-random video-test-essay format from high school. The essays have been enjoyable, and the blog portion helps me learn about the people in my class more so than if I just casually talk to them in groups or whatever.
The rest of my classes thus far have been pretty straightforward, that is, they've been exactly as I expected them to be. Hopefully my next semester will be just as enjoyable as these last two.
That's good things are going well. The Lebron comment I agree I am a Laker fan as well.
