hey there everyone. I'm, back on the blog after a long break. I would have written more earlier but I had to spend a few days to read all the other entries first. All is awesome. I'm basking in the relative green warmness of portland now, however it is also annoyingly wet. I'm going to try to do it all this semester; picked up another class for a maxed-out total of 19 credits. also climbing twice a week, swimming three times a week, sailing (I took over the sailing club yesterday, yarrrrr), jamming, backpacking, and just about everything else. The classes are all good except one, I have possibly the worst (assistant) professor at the school for a class (Inventing America) that I don't even want to be in. Her name is Bond. Kelly Bond, and even though she's young, shes scary as hell and never smiles and we spent the whole first day being lectured about the difference between a D paper and an F paper. no fun. I'm tying to be optimistic but its fading quick. Also interesting is my calculus professor, who almost instantly--in manners of speech, movement, and blinking alot--reminded me of Ms. Copley. I then almost fell out of my seat when she passed out the syllabus in the standard Copley font! I'm going to have to fingure out if they're related. Maybe she's copley's evil (except good) sister.... Recent events include a huge mud fight (I'm still finding dirt in random places like my belly button) and an airsoft-gun war in the physics building and around campus.... I think that's all for now... the sun is coming... Instead of playing in it, I have to write two papers... already... ugh...
