So I joined two half-semester P.E. classes for the second of this past semester. One instructor registered me right away for the class, but the other instructor didn't. Now I've been informed that if I wish to receive the credit for having successfully completed the course, I need to petition this academic board. Petitioning involves attending ( Read more... )

Found out why room mate didn't ever use the blender more than once. Room mate broke the blender.She cracked the pitcher and broke off one of the four plastic leg-like things that you attach the pitcher to the base by twisting. It's not so bad, though.

I got an A in Japanese, thank God, or otherwise I would have climbing the walls. Voice was also an A. It's still a ( Read more... )

So, Final Fantasy VIII made its Olympic debut in 2004. Even more amusing, it was the American team that used the song. I'd love to know who the gamer was in connection with the water ballet.

First semester of college is complete. I finished my finals on Wednesday and went home late that night.  I got to spend some time with Lindsay, which was wonderful and, of course, too short.

Attempted some Christmas shopping with Kate. It turned into quite the misadventure. First I-95 had a major delay, so we circumvented it via Route 1. We catch ( Read more... )
