Recent developements in my life are fairly significant, and I’m relatively sure at least my parents would like to know, so I’ll publish them.

My current plan for classes that I got signed off (things might change if classes fill or something) is to take Introduction to Mechanics (basic physics), Molecular Cell Biology (hard probably), Introduction to Computer Science (pretty much my elective), Independant Research with Dr. Murphy (dunno what exactly, or how much time it will take), and maybe Yoga or Badmitton or something. I need an activity sometime. If all of that goes through that’s a total of 17 credits. Keston will be taking physics with me supposedly, and might be a roommate of mine next year, so that could be cool.

John’s been trying to get me to play Magic: The Gathering. It seems fairly interesting, although I don’t think I’ll ever be motivated enough to spend my own money on my own cards. I will definately play with his cards every now and then though. I had to go to the Taste of Moracco (sic) last time though.

8 didn’t tell the story behind the clean comedian, so I will. I’m not much of a story teller, but 8 and her friend Cassy are happy about it cause it makes the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) look bad. Apparently the comedian cost $2,500. Also apparently someone from the FCA signed a contract, which they don’t have the authority to do, however, it is still binding because on the comedian’s side they had no way of knowing the FCA kid didn’t have the authority. So anyway, I guess basically the FCA forced the college activities board (student run) to pay $2,500 of the last $4,000 for the year a week before the comedian showed up. The board was mad and told the FCA they can have no funds for any activites until they pay it back. They are automatically taking the $100 of starter club money every year from the club to. So basically the club is nothing but a fundraising activity until they raise it. It’s pretty sweet that the board actually did what they should. It seemed fair.

In other news I just bought the new religion book. It’s that tiny section of that huge Indian epic poem. Bagada Gita or something. It’s cool, cause we were talking about it in philosophy too. I was comparing it to Trigun I think in my head. 😀 Should be fairly interesting.

Weather here has been kinda nuts. It’s sunny and cold and windy a lot, and rains periodically. Mostly it just seems really cold for this time of year. 🙁 I wish it was warmer. *shrug*

That’s all. Read the new blog, it’s got a lot of activity so far.

I went to class. Took the test. Went to class. Took the test. Went to advisor. Got that done 2 hours early. Went to micro lab. Streaked a bad plate. Talked to Murphy. Cleaned out my drawer. Went to registrar’s office, got form. Went home. Filled out form. Now I wanna go eat and check my mail. Not much work do I have to do today.

I have two of them today. I have nothing else except a meeting with my advisor about classes next semester, and lab work and homework and smeg. What I mean is Philosophy was cancelled. The tests tomorrow are going to suck… specifically chem test is going to suck. Oh well. Can’t really do anything about it. 😛

Yesterday went to see Ruthie who was on the Real World Hawaii. I never saw the show. She was brought to the school to talk about being bisexual and drinking and such, cause she’s experienced in those areas. Fusion did the organization, so I was obligated to go via 8. 😛 I think she looks like Tiger Woods.


She had a hat on… it makes it more obvious. You sorta have to ignore the hair too.

Yeah, she talked about half the time about the Real World… which I guess is probably what people wanted to hear. *shrug* Wasn’t bad though I guess.

Finished my chem homework today. Now all I have left this weekend technically is study. Plenty of that though.

Going to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering from John at 5. Going to Taste of Moracco (sic) tonight at 6. There is a clean comedian coming at 8:30 which I might go to. There’s an interesting story behind it. Maybe 8 will tell it? If she doesn’t I’ll post it next time. After the comedian they’re showing some movie… about a coach/principal something to do with basketball. Also tonight from 7 – 2 there is Halo going on. I don’t know how much of that I’ll do after the dinner. That’s just what’s on the table.

The suffix be- apparently in Old English means away from… which is why behead is behead instead of dehead or something like that. I didn’t know.

I know you all have been reading the blog I post on with Kait http://viviiixiv.blogspot.com/. And the other blog we made that’s just quotes http://ohpiu.blogspot.com/. But now you should start reading our new blog http://tehdigerati.blogspot.com/. It has us two again, and so far another one of our friends here at Linfield, and Kait’s brother. The idea is that we’ll post what we learn in our classes, and then discuss them and such. By reading what others learn, and explaining to others what we supposedly learned, we will be uber knowledgeable and smart and r0x0r! So join in, comment, and if you want you can maybe get added to the list of contributors and can post what you learn.

😛 It’s not actually that bad. I just wanted an excuse to show this picture.

I had my interview with the professor leading the English Jan Term abroad course that I applied for. He seemed to like me, said I was in. So I’m in. Going to go to England next year. Yay! He says that he usually sees a play or two a day when he’s there… so I’m thinking about spending my money on that. 😛 He said my interview was good, so the fact that I’m male wasn’t the whole reason he was taking me. Apparently with me it’s 2 male students and 13 or 14 females. I’m hoping I can divorce myself from the melodrama and shopping. I’ll be supposed to read a lot, so I suppose I can just disappear with that excuse a lot. Anyway, it’s all good.

I’m glad it’s the weekend. This weekend will be busier than most, due to tests, but it’s ok. Weekends still involve sleeping in :).

I posted a huge update at our new blog if you want something to read.

Aftenposten Norway, Norwegian news in English

Wow. That’s pretty nuts. They’re also letting a psycho killer off, cause he’s psycho. 🙂

did you know they reported that the pope was dead 26 hours before he actually was? They also reported the lead judge of the Saddam Hussein trial was dead and showed his face when he wasn’t. Then there’s the famous forged Bush military record stuff. And I’m sure much more.

Seems like the news people suck. Granted… I’m getting this information from the Daily Show. But if what they say is right… then it’s not really much worse then getting news from a real news source. If what they say is wrong… then it’s just entertaining and the Daily Show still wins. That’s a sweet gig.
