In Friday, Nov 18th issue of the Technique, GT Vice Provost of the Undergraduate Studies and Academics Affairs Anderson Smith is quoted as stating the benefits of summer program changes at Georgia Tech: “Freshmen can come in and take a couple of courses and prepare themselves…”
All current and former Tech students can fill in those ellipsis with the truth; for example: “… for sleep deprivation from all-nighters, mental insanity after the first two weeks, etc.” And, we all know this is just Tech’s attempt to reduce the average number of years needed by undergraduate engineering students to graduate.
In the end, at least we know for sure Reggie Ball won’t be spiking the ball on third and throwing it away on fourth anymore. It’s just enough to put the ball up in the air on 1st & Goal when the games on the line.

Why was it that I couldn’t tell you how beautiful you are? How fun it was with you? How your smile was the true reason for my frigid nature that prevented me from getting closer? Thinking back, there were so many things… I’ll call them mistakes for now. Now, it is merely a diminished afterthought and yet I was lying in my bed trying to fall asleep tonight where I relived memories of the past that lasted for a relative while after the fact. I draw up a long and thick line between two boundaries and whenever I get close to this boundary, I shut the door so neither I nor you can cross the line. I felt like it was the right thing to do but in reality it was simply because I feared the next step into the other boundary thinking it would destroy what we had. Ironically, my unforthcoming reaction to the next step was my achilles’ heel that deteriorated everything instead.
Merely an afterthought … from years and years ago. It shocks me to think how young I was back then… how young we all were.
