As I enter my last year at The Georgia Institue of Technology, I find myself in the midst of surprising triump over Tech’s typically evil registration process.
My schedule of classes for Fall 2006 (R = Thursday)
- Health (MW 2-3)
- History of Ancient Philosophers (MW 3-4:30)
- Philosophy of Science (TR 9:30-11)
- Reel History (TR 1:30-3)
- Thin Film Science (TR 12-1:30)
- Senior Design I (R 3-4)
A quick glance at my schedule reveals that I have no courses which meet on Friday. In other words, I have no class on Friday. Perhaps this is not a big deal at some schools (Georgia State has no Friday classes period) but at GT this is monumental. My attendance in Friday classes was never good… but this is a school sanctioned reason to enjoy every thirsty Thursday special the city has to offer!
The question is though, what should I do with my new found leisure time? I could devote that time to studying and further pad my GPA, but where’s the fun in that? After some careful thought I came up with these ideas:
- Learn to smoke a pipe and grow my own tobacco
- Become a cigar connoisseur
- Get really good at the banjo
- Pick a type of music and become an uber snob for that genre (something obscure)
- Expand my culinary skills
- Sit on my ass, waste my youth
As tempting as that last option sounds, I’m sure whatever I pursue will be a combination of several things from that list. Further cooking and banjo practicing are definitely in order and I have wanted to try to grow my own tobacco for some time after stumbling across this site.
Who knows what this fall semester has in store for me. I just hope I don’t lose my appreciation for the three-day weekend as a whole.

Since we all know that smoking is “bad” for you, you should make your own cigarettes with home-grown tobacco, and sell it around campus.
Organic cigarettes, yeah. a big hit.
