Okay, so evidently nearly all of my friends are too grown up to use this livejournal anymore. I imagined that maybe I was the only one who had left, and that the conversations had continued up to this point, but not so. Anyway, the only reason I decided to post was to announce that I have made my grad school decision. This fall I will be ( Read more... )

Rachel met all my dad's side of the family at Kirk's wedding yesterday. Fancy wedding. Too many people at the reception. Went to aunt Peggy's cabin today. Uncle Glenn followed us, and hung out for a while, then went on his way to just drive around the mtns for a while. rachel, steve, and I went tubing. Fun, but the water was low, so our butts ( Read more... )

Then you take that new number (1908) and circle one of the digits ( Read more... )

So I rode my bike back home today for lunch. Then on the way from work I was riding down Woodland, going pretty fast, and my right foot slipped off of the front of the pedal and got caught between the frame and the front wheel. The wheel wobbled really bad, and for a split-scond I thought I could recover, but no, the bike wrecked and I did a tuck ( Read more... )

I don't understand it when a student shows up on the second day of summer classes, asking why he can't register for his classes, when it turns out he hasn't even been admitted to the university for this term. And what's more, he has been a tech student before, but withdrew from school! You'd think he'd know what the hell was going on, based on ( Read more... )
