I’m still here. I’ve just been swamped with homework lately. Spring break starts after classes tomorrow, so I should be able to catch up on random facts at some point soon!

I was on my way to school this morning when I received a text message from my brother-in-law with the news. Brett Favre, the legendary quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, had announced his plans to retire.

I don’t think this is tremendously surprising news. Though immediately after the Packers’ season was over, I figured that Brett would be back for at least another season, I slowly began to get the feeling that he was calling it quits.

School has been going very well for me. My first semester back after like five years off has gone as well as can be expected. I got straight A’s in my four classes for a GPA of 4.00.

This semester is also going pretty well. A couple classes are more difficult, but … Continue Reading
