And so begins another year of school at Case. Although this is my fourth year here, it seems as though it was only yesterday I was wandering around Adelbert gym aimlessly, scared as all get-out, at Playfair.

I am taking a new approach to this year. I am determined not to let Case consume my life, as it has in the past. I am prepared to go to battle with this institution, fighting to maintain my sanity and my happiness. It will not be easy.

On a brighter note, I can't be happier about my living situation. I have been blessed to have eight (yes, eight) of the greatest roommates a guy could ask for. I am looking forward to all the great times to come: the destruction of hallway sports, the late night NHL conquests on xbox, the dominance in IM floor hockey, and most of all the company of excellent men.
