Mr. Tucker's Opus

The first goal I set for myself this second semester in Rolla at the Missouri University of Science and Technology was to beat Roller Coaster Tycoon, having learned the first day we returned to this fair town that neither Mr. Gardner nor myself had ever completed the game, let alone made it through a certain level. Having nothing better to do Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays past the noon hour (both of our schedules are such that the class day ends at noon, after starting at eight and going strong for four continuous hours), we have spent countless hours already in this first week completing each level one by one, meeting the criteria for advancement and proceeding on, our goal getting closer daily.

If our goal is met, our lives will be complete and we will combust upon completion, smiling with great joy and satisfaction as our bodies instantly vaporize in a tremendous explosion.

Good luck to all in their own special endeavours, we'll see you on the other side.
