“Well its that time of year again...when ya gotta pack away the camping stuff and trudge to school.... I cant complain tho...the summer was the best ive ever had with all my new trail expirences... I'm still a newbe by most of you ppl but i know ive learned much about myself.... So good luck to all you starving students out there and to the rest of ya too.” 9:24:03 PM 8/19/02 “School is great! Enjoy it while you are there! I just graduated from college and I always looked forward to the day of not having to go to school anymore. Well that concept isnt as great anymore. School is fun and full of experiences you will always remember!” 9:57:59 PM 8/19/02 “Yes it is school time again and I am offically broke. I now have both kids in college (MTSU in Murfreesboro, Tn). One is a Junior and the other is a Freshman. We moved my son into school yesterday (daughter lives in an apt near the school) and today is the first day of school, well at 10:00 AM I get a call from him telling me his car has been towed. I am like you just started and you got your car towed the first day. Well I was going up there this evening to take some things he had forgotten so I left work early and drove up to pick him up. One thing that I had told him yesterday was that I don't pay for parking tickets and being towed, needless to say he wasn't to happy to pay the $ 47.50 towing charge, then he found out he has to pay a $ 20.00 parking ticket at the school. Finally after about 2 hrs we get him taken cared off and I am heading back to work in Nashville at least I thought I was. When I was about 10 mintues from work I get a call from my daughter telling me she has a flat tire so I get off the interstate and turn around and head back to the school. Well by the time I changed her tire and put on the so called spare tire to get her through the night it was to late to go back to work. What a first day of school, just wondering what tomorrow is going to bring.” 10:45:55 PM 8/19/02 “My college freshman... had a great day! He liked his classes, he liked the dining hall, he saw a girl he knows. He's excited about school! I need to call the health center, because he must be ill.” 10:50:32 PM 8/19/02 “AHH college...i remember the first time i went to the UA health clinic...the side of my med bottle said "take with 2 beers and forget to call in the morning"” 12:54:10 AM 8/20/02 “Ewker - what a great dad you are. Some of those little life lessons (like they really do mean don't park here) are tough to learn alone.” 5:51:16 AM 8/20/02 “I'm already officially broke, and I have five smart kids that haven't een STARTED college yet...” 6:44:03 AM 8/20/02 “Alabama #3 party school!!!!” 8:22:24 AM 8/20/02 “At least BAMA is #3 at something!” 9:06:49 AM 8/20/02 “Thanks for the good luck wish Spirit. We will all need it. Ewker, you are one good dad.” 1:51:39 PM 8/20/02 “Well the second day of school brings the phone call I am out of money that you gave me for books and I still have 3-4 more books to buy. I need to go in the book store business at schools, they make a killing and then don't give you crap when you sell them back. At least he is enjoying school so far. He was a little angry that he got up at 7:00 for a racquet ball class at 8:00 and had to walk across campus for a 20 minute class meeting then walk back to his dorm room where he went back to sleep until I woke him up at 9:30...poor baby..lol I can't even imagine having to play racquet ball at 8:00 AM. I am not a morning person.” 5:36:53 PM 8/20/02 “Hey MSDHiker.. we are also the #2 students rarely study school. Check out the princeton review.. its so true the things it says about Alabama. School Rankings” 12:09:56 AM 8/21/02 “cool. I checked out UNM on that page and the first thing mentioned was an excellent photography program. My son is going to work on a double major in photography and journalism. The only list they made was #19 for "too many teaching assistants teaching upper level classes".” 6:41:07 AM 8/21/02
