the week's gotten much better since monday. first, i realized that physics wasn't as bad as i had first thought... nice to know i still got a little luck when i need it. it's been really fun hangin out with the other pledges... gettin all our requirements done and stuff. most of 'em are really really cool. best thing about our pledge class is that it's really diverse. 17 pledges from places like hong kong, taiwan, india, korea, china, panama... and of course the US (and there's even a bit of diversity amongst those from the US). we got gifts from our "big brothers" today (who remain anonymous for now). mine got me the latest ESPN the magazine, a huge piece of chocolate cake, a hershey's cookies and cream milkshake, and tons of ghiradelli chocolate miniatures. how freakin awesome! i think i was able to figure out who my big brother is, but i'll find out for sure later. soccer was pretty fun today. we lost, but it was still fun... until i got kicked in both shins. i guess i could've worn shinguards, so it's partially my fault. whatever... hopefully the pain'll go away by tomorrow morning. i really need to get bigger... that way i don't get hurt so often when i'm playin. this weekend should be rather relaxing... catching up on work, scholarship applications, learning how to play badminton (should be interesting...), and definitely catching up on sleep.

birthday shoutouts to eric and michael (even though neither probably read this).
"feel better soon" shoutouts to michael, ronak, and miss jenny zhang... and anyone else who may be sick that i don't know about
