I’m trading grandmas with my friend Wayland.

I’m walking out of class, and I run into Charles.  He has a silly grin on his face and says to me that I have a package in the office.  What the hell?  I wasn’t expecting any packages.  I go upstairs and find my package.  It’s from someone named Mrs. Britton from California and it’s huge.  This is ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, I experienced a lot of firsts but perhaps the most ( Read more... )

A few days ago, I went to my first international punk show. I think my favorite part of the show was trying to find the venue. Charles, unfortunately, didn’t feel like going so I found the address and tried locating it on my city map. However, the venue was off the map so I didn’t really know where I was going. I hopped on the tram and after ( Read more... )

There's nothing quite like being manhandled by a gorilla with a limp. I went to one of the thermal bath houses with a group of mathletes this morning. Surprisingly, there weren't many tourists around which was perhaps because the process of getting into the complex was unnecessarily confusing. I'm pretty sure that I didn't even get into the ( Read more... )

I'm getting settled into things here in Budapest. I finished the first week of a two week long language course and I'm can fairly comfortably navigate a menu at a restaurant and even place an order in broken Hungarian. I'm having a blast right now and I think it's only going to get better once I start taking math courses. I'm also going to ( Read more... )

This is too good not to mention. On saturday, I went to a Halo tournament in Wilmington. Seventeen people entered, and other than my friend Jim and I, no one was over 15 years old. I ended up winning and taking little kids' money. It was glorious. Jim and I split the $50 pot as agreed upon prior to the tourney. I took my winnings and bought ( Read more... )

My friend Jim has this theory that once women turn 35, they immediately turn into evil bitches. After today's little altercation, I think he may have a case. Or maybe women just can't drive ( Read more... )

Last night, I played Pick Up Sticks with Holly until 3 in the morning. It was really awesome. About 30 minutes into the game, we started accussing each other of cheating and getting mad about it. I really felt like a little kid and I recommend that everyone play sometime. The rules are incredibly subjective and getting angry over stupid things ( Read more... )
