So it still looks like Jason will be visiting me in January. This is both thrilling and nerve racking.
grades are continueing to be good. This wont be an aced semester for me, but the materail is hard and the friends are fantastic so that doesnt worry me too much.
This coming spring break I will be in Washington DC volunteering at the largest homeless shelter in the USA! It is an Alterntive Spring Break program which should be incredibly eye opeing. Sometimes the desire to do good overides the desire to sleep on the beach. I've made it through my own weird life, time to pay to pay forward all the kindness that had been pain to me and my family.
I keep switching towards being convinced that I need to loose weight and likeing that I'm not a tiny person. Particuarly since Mat likes really skinny chicks. Most of the time I am very confortable with my appearacne but I know I have a bit more insulation on the abdomin than is required.
This week has been expensive but terrific fun. Eating out, seeing movies with friends and watching Hellboy. I dont know why I love that movie so much but it probably has something to do with their being monsters, explosions and a romance element. Thats how you get me to care about charaters falling in love, make something/people/creature blow-up around them! Its wonderful that people are coming to get me to do things more often, but cant we do more free stuff? C'mon guys! I'm not made out of money, if i was the previous paragraph wouldnt be and issue!
The 208 comic was a huge success, people seem to really like it and only Dewey had trouble telling who the charaters were. Who trusts the opinions of math majors anyway? Its still mostly a joke, but getting a marine bio degree and becoming a comic book writer is wonderfully apealing. if you want to see it and dont bump into me much just leave a note and i can e-mail scans to you.
OOOOO! I might be working with Dr.Baker and his research. My friend Ally was signed up for it but is skeptical that she would be useful and get along with the team so she is seeing if I can snatch her spot. How freaking sweet is that? This is actually a type of research I could wind up doing and Dr. Baker is this semester's icon.
Like chris I am wondering how to spend my summer. There are a few internships or volunteer activities I can apply for, but the thought of not having to do physics or stats next year is a brillant argument for taking summer classes. Maybe i can combine the ideas and do research with a USF person?
Fencing? Hmmm, the helmets are very flattering on me...
So pretty much life is absolutly wonderful right now and i'm enjoying being me. Hurray for living!
