maybe less of a book than usual today...hehe...

frikin hand that i have problems which is not being nice today, so this is gona b a shorter one. plus i figured that i better since i will b on a field trip all this weekend (FRI SAT and SUN) to Nemea, Isthmia, and Olympia for my Ancient Greek Athletics class. only this class of all of CYA is going, so no free weekend for us. i am really excited to go, but at the same time i am going to be fighting major fatigue and the need to write 3 papers in the next 2 weeks. so yeah, it's gonna be a long haul for the next few weeks. BUT it seems to be the last push before finals...and then leaving.... *tear & smile*.
Probably by the timeyou hear from me next, (prolly next mon-wed), Nate will be here! he's coming next Tuesday and staying for a week over my 4-day weekend for Thanksgiving!! yay!! good times, i say. i have to write 1.5papers while he's here tho, which is NOT going to be fun. oh well, he'll have to just have to go out into the city for a while w/o me or just read something while i work. either way, it's a nice vacation for him, i'd assume.

well, Athens has finally been officially biten by what i would call 'Duck Opener' weather. seriously, today i was FINALLY able to put on a sweater and not be too warm by 10am in the sun. it's finally what we Minnesotans call 'chilly,' and the Athenians call 'cooooold.' HA! it's pretty funny seeing some of the other kids from aroudn the US dressing differently too. one girl was wearing a long skirt, prolly too chilly for those southern girls, so i gave her my props. plus, those flip-flops man!; theyre good any time of year. and no, not all the time... NATE!!!

in other news (um, this is getting long isnt it?) Catherine (best friend girly) has perhaps found her niche in the psychological world of deaf culture and is applying to a school in D.C. for next year. go Cat!!!!!!!!! oh yeah, and she's still alive, contrary to popular assumption in my brain in which i feel like i have no idea sometimes..... hehe... love you!

ok, need to study and get goin on those papers. perhaps go get a philosophy headache too, and this aint no ice cream headache!! it's much, MUCH worse!!!
ok ciao
