The District....so, the past to times I've been I got to know myself better. The latter was senior year in high school when I did one of those "meet the government" programs for a week. I got to learn about my political beliefs and I got to come face to face with "crazy" Massachusetts Liberals. ...Good times ( Read more... )

Yes, this does require a separate post. The idea: recap your year by posting the date, title, and first sentence (or so) from the first entry in your journal for each month.

Christmas in the Rockies was fun. Freezing and snowy, but fun. Maybe next time I try skiing I'll be a little more adventurous, but I was pretty lame and only did the easy slopes. We left Apsen a day early, Christmas Day, to escape an impeding snow storm (didn't want to get snowed-in). We spent the night in Denver since that's were we had to fly out ( Read more... )

Final Grades have come in and I did pretty well. A big improvement from mid-term, anyway.

(Which was pretty fun, but would have been better if the bars had anticipated the gi-normous crowds of people that would show up for $1 Abita, I also love how BR overlooked the open container law on 3rd St, because they pretty much had too with that massive ( Read more... )

So, since I know you all watched the LSU game this weekend (there isn't life beyond LSU football, is there?), can I just ask how ridiculously radical that game was??? The ups and downs were crazy, I only wish it could have been in Tiger Stadium, but I guess we still have Georgia and Alabama to go ( Read more... )

So, now that life has returned to some sort of normal in the BR area and school is in full swing, I can comment on my life.

Tiger Band keeps me busy, as usual. Compounding this are my new duties to Civil Engineering: I'm doing hurricane evacuation research for Dr. Wolshon, I'm still the website over-lord for our chapter of ASCE, and I'm now the ( Read more... )

All is well in Mobile. Even though the Weather Channel predicted impending tornado-doom for the area, we never experienced...well, much of anything besides some occasional wind gusts, on/off rain, and cloudy weather. Several areas near the bay flooded, but what do you expect when you live next to an open body of water?
