Russian
I would like to have a longer entry, but life has been incredibly busy and I'm taking Russian at UW this summer. I had no idea how time consuming learning Russian would be. -

Babies and organizing, and a lot of butter
Tayissa has just made the big Facebook announcement that she's expecting. This is very exciting and there are lots of things to get done before December now. All the baby things I was going to pass along are now getting stored in tubs.

Soc Student
It's official: my major is now Sociology. I applied at the start of this quarter and just got the welcome email. No, I'm not going to go in Social Work when I graduate (I would equate that with a self-imposed purgatory, but I do like the research). So far, it has been full of interesting classes.
