Wanna know me?

My current assignment is to interview myself. So without further adieu, I will ask myself four questions and answer them. At the current moment, I am sitting in my dorm room suite (a three room set up, with three men). It is 12:34 at night. I am wearing an Alabama pull-over sweat shirt that I bought for an amazing $27.75 at the Supe Store on campus (reg. $75.00). I have just finished 4 pieces of a large ham and cheese pizza from Domino's, and am listening to my room-mates conversation with his girlfriend, because my door is open. Also, his TV is on, and the sounds of the comedy "Super-Troopers" is coming through the speakers.
I am setting this up a lot like the story "Homeless Man Interviews Himself" by Albert Bliss (Seeing & Writing, pgs. 354-357), because I found it very enjoyable to read and liked his format. So that no one gets confused the interviewer will be Mr. WilliamJ, and the interviewee will be Will (both of whom will be one person, myself).
Mr. WilliamJ: Tell me a little bit about your current conditions at The University of Alabama, (i.e. school, relationships, parties).
Will: Well, school is amazing. Being this is my freshman year in college, I'm adjusting to school and the changes as well as I imagined. I'm trying to balance everything as best I can. Our football team just beat the ever living mess out of The University of Florida and their classless fans, 31-3 (chomp on that, Gators). Needless to say, I'm very hoarse and VERY pumped about our next two games (Ole Miss (boo) and UT (BOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO OO OOO)). My relationships are growing. I'm meeting new people as well as getting closer to my girlfriend. And, in meeting new people, I'm obviously going to fraternity parties.
Mr. WilliamJ: You seem very enthusiastic about Alabama football. Has this team always interested you? Was it the reason you came to The University of Alabama?
Will: Haha, well no Mr. WilliamJ. It wasn't at all. To tell you the truth, I could have cared less about what type of football was at this school when I came. Football was never a deciding factor in my choice of schools. I wanted to go to a school that I thought I would enjoy for four years. I was never a big college football fan, but knew I would grow into it, when I attended college. Fortunatly, I came to the school in the SEC that has class, fashion, and football to brag about. I believe I have become an Alabama football fanatic now that I have seen the home games at Bryant-Denny Stadium. So, in answer to your question, I didn't come here for the football, and I was never interested in college football until I saw the Crimson Tide play this year.
Mr. WilliamJ: Thats very interesting, I find that that was my stance on college while I was in attendance. I think you'll find that the love you have now for Alabama football will follow you into your years after graduation.
Will: I think so as well.
Mr. WilliamJ: In talking about after graduation. What is it you plan to go into at the current moment, given that the average college student changes majors 3 times while in college?
Will: Well, I am currently very interested in Finance. I don't really know why I want to do that other that the fact that I've seen money in it. I also may follow my mother in becoming a Lawyer. I have always had a way with words and find it exhilarating to be in an arguement and win. I really want to be wealthy as I get older, and I want something that is going to hold my interest. I like helping people, and I'm good in math (I actually surprise myself sometimes with numbers). I'm not 100% sure as to what I want to do, but one of those two appeal to me at the current time.
Mr. WilliamJ: Well, I think we are coming to the end of the interview here. Is there anything you want to add that may interest some of the readers?
Will: Um, well, I would like to add, that my father (Buddy) and I have successfully started a club hockey team. We plan to be on the ice either this week or next. We do need players for this season, so if you know of anyone, put them in contact with me. Also, I enjoy eating out, watching movies, going to---
Mr. WilliamJ: Thats nice Will. I'll be sure to put anyone I know of in contact with you. Thank you for you time. You are quite an interesting person, with no lack of wit (which, because of the content, could not be printed).
Anyone wishing to be in contact with Will can reach him on his facebook account. Run a school search for Alabama and then type in "playin hockey" in "Search All Feilds." I'm the first entry. Thanks!

I have yet to attend a game (too expensive), but I wonder if I'll turn into a UA football fanatic afterwards, like you!
