It's February already...and we're still getting snow...and it's a Wednesday.  Intense stuff.  But the good news is that Kandyce, Tyler and I are going to Cairo in March before we leave on academic travel.  We booked our tickets and our hostel today, so everything is official.  Nothing but pyramids and Arabic and trying to stop myself from thinking ( Read more... )

 Today Professor Saveau stopped me and Kandyce and demanded to know why we were leaving the pub at 9 last night.....I want to know what he was doing that he saw us leave ( Read more... )

Jazz night was last night.  I had this weird moment today where I thought about all four years of jazz night's that I've been to.  Crazy, right?

 The idea of the end of the world came up in conversation yesterday and I've been sort of pondering it today.  What happened was that someone was talking about the theory that our galaxy would implode or something in the year 2012, and my first response was something like, "well if that's the case then I'll change my plans".  So I was thinking ( Read more... )

 It's been a pretty long week, and today is the first day of classes.  WInter orientation this year was really different than it was last year.  The new students are cool for the most part, but they just seem so apathetic to us and what we tried to do.  So it was a little frustrating and weird.  But I thought the OL group was really fun, so ( Read more... )

So I lied about my phone number....I mixed up a couple of the numbers and ended up giving out the number to a fax machine or something.  Anyway, my REAL number is 503-960-7070.  This one works, I promise.  Kandyce already tried it out. :)

It's been a weird day.  But I have a new phone number!  Woo!  So now my number is: 503-690-7070.
