One of my absolute favorite pictures of Michelle. Even with the poor quality you can see the happiness, it's one of those moments that makes everything worth it.

Anyway, as some of you already know I'm going home this weekend for a wake for my aunt's mother (not my grandmother), its not shocking since she's been ill for a long time but I just saw her at Easter. It's too bad I didn't know her better.

On a lighter note, I just have to give a public thanking to Sam for reccomending me for work at the library.

Oh, and Katie, here is a track list for that 'history' of rock that I gave you: (remember this is volume 1 only. I hope you've been listening to it. It's good stuff.

It's a fair sampling I think one song from each year except for 1959 (it was going to be Kansas City but it wouldn't fit) from 1958-1983. I didn't double artists (except with Eric Clapton who was in Cream but no one's counting), I think I went a little too soft, Black Sabbath was left out by lack of space.

This picture didn't come out too well...

Well I got all of the classes I wanted except for the Economics ones, which is a tragedy I'm sure. So it will be 16 credits I will be taking next semester which should turn out nicely.

Room selection came and went, Taylor and I are still roomates and Shawn will still be in our suite. We didn't get into the new buildings or into Castleton Hall but we moved up a couple of floors in Morril so we will have a balcony. Which is awesome. We know two other people who will be in our suite, well, we don't "know" them, but we know their names. The rest will be Freshman I guess.

The end of the year is fast-approaching and I'm not really feeling any anxiety. I have a couple of big projects coming up and some papers but I really can't feel nervous. I'm in a state of meh.

We've had trouble with the bathroom all year, but recently the toilets have begun leaking. We have been informed that no such leak exists its just condensation from the showers appearing in reeking puddles around the toilets.

With that lovely image I'll leave. I can't wait to see you all again at the library or at Ashley's birthday.

P.S. Thank you Katie and Megan (Katie's roomate) for the Clam Chowder and pop-ices.

Well I just got back from effective speaking, I completely bombed. I did a persuasive speech on why history doesnt suck. For some reason though I did fine every other time I rushed and stumbled through this one and ended a 7 minute speech in 3 minutes.

Easter was nice, school is so so, I'm signing up for classes tomorrow 19 credits! It should be interesting.

World History II
French I
Education Psychology
Early Field Experiance
Intro to Exceptional Populations
Economics and Society
English Literature: Anglo-Saxon to the 18th Century

All of the above are required listening. Though Disciplined Breakdown and Youth are probably my favorites, but the others are pure awesomeness. And I mean pure.

Anyway, as I've told many of you, on returning from Spring Break I left behind one thing: that was the power cord for my computer. So all week I've been without. I'm currently using Shawn's so I can do a powerpoint. I am taking time from that to write something so you'll quit complaing about the awesome epileptic joy that I left for you. I'm glad you guys arent or I would have felt bad.

I'll fill in a longer post after Easter when I get back. I really need to finish this project.
