Summer is Finally Here
My summer school class ended last Wednesday and I can say that summer school really is awesome. Like I said earlier, we lift weights, go to class, and play pickup. Something like 95% of the student body at Furman live on campus and to accommodate this need the school built 11 apartment buildings with 4 bedroom apartments on campus. That’s where we stay during summer school and its a great setup.
Now I’m home in Alpharetta and I was trying to do something really fun to kick off my summer. I know most of you are thinking that having sinus surgery wouldn’t be on the top of your list but that is probably because you are not a D-1 basketball player. Having sinus surgery to kick off my summer was a dream come true. I must have broken my nose as a kid but not realized it so I had a very deviated septum which made it pretty much impossible for me to breathe through my nose.

I had surgery at 9am on Monday morning and am still recovering. I was doing pretty well until my post-op this afternoon. Today they removed some rather large sponges from my sinus cavities and it was extremely painful. Now I’m back to laying in bed trying to get rid of a major headache.
Before the packing was removed I was feeling pretty good and went and saw The Dark Knight with some friends at 10am to avoid spending double digits on our movie tickets and because we had nothing better to do. It was a good movie. Really good. Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was amazing. He really played the role of a villain better than I’ve ever seen before. I don’t usually get into all of the other comic book movies (Hulk, Xmen, Ironman for example) but I really liked this movie. Anyone else see it?
Yeah, The Dark Knight was so awesome! Hope you’re feeling better man
