| Quote: | Paul Apyan Named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar
Paul Apyan
July 9, 2009
HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss men's golfer Paul Apyan was named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar, announced Thursday afternoon by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
A total of 108 players in Division I, 37 in Division II and 11 in NAIA earned the honor.
Apyan, a Chattanooga, Tenn., native is a four-time C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll recipient, as well as earning Dean's List and Athletic Director Honor Roll on several occasions. In 2007, Apyan was awarded the C-USA Academic Medal.
The redshirt junior has played in 84 rounds over his career and has averaged 74.4 strokes per round. During the 2008-09 campaign, Apyan averaged 74.2 strokes per round and enjoyed his best finish of the year in the season opener at the Aldila Intercollegiate in his hometown of Chattanooga.
Last season, Apyan tallied a third-place tie in the Conference USA Championship to earn all-tournament honors.
This is the third postseason honor for Apyan, having earned the Southern Miss Male Athlete of the Year Award, as was as the Conference USA Spirit of Service Award.

haugy, Thank you sir. Not too bad for a public school Tennessean huh? Is Nashville as split around public and private high schools as Chattanooga? The greatest thing is the 3 Academic All-Americans from Chattanooga all went to public schools... point us
ontrider, I'm doubting a yes answer

Amen to that one. It's rough being young.
1. Put as many hours on the lake as I used to.
2. Burn through at least two boards on my totally illegal 50' Shasta rail.
3. Start my KTM for the fourth time since I bought it. Lake may interfere.
4. Not get hit by other California drivers. I will demand to speak to President Palmer if I have to call Allstate one more time.
5. Date only girls with deductive reasoning skills. Will set a first for mankind.
6. Stop winning bids at work so that I can accomplish the aforementioned. |

So how did everyone fare?
09 has certainly had its ups and downs, but I managed to achieve most of what I set out to. I definitely did some growing up as well.
| Josh R wrote: | - Keep having as much fun as i did in 08. Pretty hard to quantify, but yeah, still had plenty of fun in 09
- Live in Florida again, for longer this time and get more involved in the industry there. Yep
- Make another film. Yep, in the works at the moment
- Get a 'real job' for a while and get some cashflow. Not really
- Move in closer to the city with some mates. No, but on the cards this year
- Make it to CWC. Yep and it was awesome
- Write more magazine articles, take more photos. Yep
- Lose weight. Yep

6. Start running again, get back down to a steady 175lbs or so (I'm hoping I can accomplish this because I only weigh 185 right now.)
7. No babbys. |
1. Check, new goal is to finish out college with a 3.8GPA, I'm pretty close and just have two easy terms left that should be easy to bang out.
2. Fail, applying to schools anyways. If need be I'll take a year off and retake in September.
3. Fail, still haven't gotten my applications in. This is probably the fail that is most disappointing, because it was totally in my control but the reality of 6 figure debt, especially going into a saturated legal field makes me nervous. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I think I subconsciously sabotaged myself here.
4. Success, her and I are finally done for good.
5. Doing better at this, but I'm still pretty focused on school right now.
6. Success and then fail, I am picking it back up again though.
7. None that I am aware of.

I am a bit disappointed that I didn't post any goals for '09, it would have been nice to look back and see if I accomplished them....
But....I am sure I would have listed continue to be smoke/tobacco free. Last year at this time I was 6 months(ish) tobacco free.... I made it a solid 16 months, I still do not chew or smoke cigarettes, both of which had a firm hold on me. I have taken up cigar smoking.... 
Completed a few triathlons & the Tour of Park City bike ride....that was pretty cool.
I love my wife, my kids are healthy and all of my immediate family made it through the year without issue....that is a win in my book. |

4. make 6 figures. NO CHECK
5. follow through w/ threat to ride the texas mtb circuit this spring. NO CHECK i hate to blame this on anyone else, but i was all ready to ride a race in lajitas and my friend kind of screwed me over on the ride down there (and another of our friends) and that killed it.
6. read more books, watch less tv, spend less time on the internet. NO CHECK - massive fail, in fact. |

My roommate and a bunch of buddies went to law school. I opted out because I couldn't figure out if I truly wanted to practice law. In reality I wouldn't want to do insurance defense, plantiff (slip/fall), criminal or any of those general areas. I found my niche and am a lobbyist making more than all of them, I will partner sooner and I don't have 6 figures of loans. That being said I was paid $hit for 4 years to get here. As they all say to prospective law students, make sure you TRULY want to practice law and are willing to make mortgage payments on those loans for 30 years. I think you made a good decision waiting. A good percentage of those who passed the CA Bar this year do not have jobs still.
