New Beginnings

It seems that the world is now in total chaos, and in my little microcosm it seems that way as well.

The situation in New Orleans is really awful. I know you didn't need me to tell you that. It sort of puts everything into perspective.

My best friend moved to Seattle yesterday. Sad. But happy for her. She's going to establish residency and then she's going to become an acupuncture and I get free treatments for life! We decided to get together for what seems to be the last "mid-week weekend" yesterday. "Mid-week weekend" is Wednesday and we would get together somewhere, preferably with a pool and we'd grill stuff and swim and act like it was the weekend. Shahnon made Thai Burgers. Mmmmmmmmm. SOooooooo gooooooooooooood. :D It was still slightly sad because Heather and James weren't there. :( But we're planning a trip for New Years where we are going to rent a ski chalet on Mt. Baker and have a grand old time.

I just started school yesterday. UNLV's classes for me this semester are Math 283 (calculus III) and Women's studies 113. Then on Tuesday, I start at CCSN (for my final semester there) taking Physics 181 & 182 (plus a 3 hour lab for each) and an English Lit class (232). Parking at UNLV is retarded. They have a whole bunch of construction going on and it's screwing up the parking for now. It's so funny, it feels like January 1st at the gym. You go to the gym January 1st and it's totally packed! There is a wait at all the machines and you just want to scream, "OK! Everyone who is really going to work out for more than the week of January the 1st please stay, the rest of you LEAVE!" And half the gym would empty. It's the same with school. Everyone goes the first couple of weeks and then by the end of the semester there's 1/4 of the students left. It's sad, really.

Brandon and I are finally living together. After being married for 3 months, we've decided to take another big step in our relationship and move in together. I know, it's a big step, but sometimes you just have to trust in fate! ;)
