Too much fun

The first full week of classes is starting to wind down. I've gotten 100% on both of my quizes so far so all is well. The past two nights have been pretty laid back, me just living. I did laundry by hand for the first time the other night. My roommate and I engineered a sweet setup for a clothes line for maximum dryness. It worked sweet.

Being in a hotel full of engineers is a lot of fun. The other night, I was in the third floor lobby just hanging out, doing some hw (not really), with a friend of mine from class. People kept walking by and talking to us and by the end of the night, there were atleast 15 of us in the lobby. Everyone was drinking except for my friend and I and it what we saw was hilarious. Only engineers would sit around getting excited about math problems while they were drunk. One of the guys is in calc 1, we call it baby calc, and had some questions. Right away, everyone started doing the problem, and this kept going for atleast 2 hours. Thats the technological future of America for ya. Honestly though, if these are the future inventers of the world, I think we will be in good hands. The people here are so nice and so much fun. I can't get over how many good, new friends I've made in such a short amount of time.

Of course I miss everyone back home though, even Missy. I haven't had a chance to buy postcards yet, keep meaning to but never have the time, so sorry if it takes a while. I buy phone cards every weekend and make calls late at night, so in the afternoon time back home. The number comes up as "restricted" so answer it. Keep the emails coming, I love reading them and hearing about how everyone is doing. What the heck is up with the Pistons?

This morning I heard tires screeching and then a crash. Somehow, the ambulance was right there. Which reminds me, a few posts back, I mentioned an accident. Well, that one, there was a ambulance right there seconds after it happened too. We have a theory for all this but I might be in danger if I share it here.

It was 80 degrees today and I put on a jacket, I'm screwed when I get home. Look up the weaher in Volgograd and you'll see that its 110+ degrees consistantly.

I have girls pants and underwear hanging up in my room to dry. It's kind of funny.

Don't even lie, no one would ever miss Missy. Today I was telling Ben about the time that Ba chased Caine around your yard with a hammer. I miss Ba. Oh yeah, and you too.
