I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last updated, and then the site was down for nearly two weeks, but everything is better now!  The reason I haven’t been posting is because a) getting to the internet requires actual work (Jeff’s apartment doesn’t have wireless and there is only one place to plug in a landline… his roomates room) and b) I always have something else I could be doing.  Be it hanging out with my friends, or working on papers.

But I’m here now, that’s what counts right?

So what am I doing in my life?  Going to class mostly.  I like all of my teachers, but my African American History professor is my favorite, Dr. Fallin… if a grown man is allowed to be cuddly he totally is.  I just want to hug him when he can’t get the tv to work properly.  I’m working on my papers for Germany, they are due in March which is right around the corner… eek. Tomorrow I’m going to the history honors society’s potluck lunch.  I’m bringing hotdogs!  Which I cannot WAIT to have one of.  Ever since I saw those hotdogs in the store I’ve been thinking about how delicious they will be.  Mmmmm.

On a personal level, I’m spending most of my time with Jeff which is nice, kind of weird, but nice.   Being gone for five months makes things weird when you get back.  The other person has a new vocabulary (I don’t know about you but Jeff and I tend to pick up the vocabualry of however we hangout with) and each has funny stories that don’t involve the other, which leaves to someone feeling left out.  Which is gernerally me.  All my friends were all here together, all of my stories involve people that no one knows around here, and require far to much explanation so that what ever funny story I am trying to tell usually fall flat.  The other frustrating thing, is that Jeff and I have to re-learn each others tells.  The small subconcious things that you know about someone that you spend a lot of time with.  The way they smile or sigh or sound when the feel various things.  I used to know all those about Jeff, but now they’re gone.   I have to learn them all over again.  It makes things weird and slightly awkward.  At first I thought it was only me and then I talked to Jeff and he said that he was feeling to same way, so I feel much better.  Our three year anniversary is this Saturday.  We’re having sushi (yum!  I have been jonesing for some sushi for like two weeks) and then going back to the apartment and watching a movie.  Jeff’s friend has lent them a HUGE tv which is now occupying a fifth of the living room.  I cannot WAIT!

As far as tv shows go, America’s Next Top Model just started back up, which is convinient because my other show Psych just ended.  I’ve also been watching Avatar the Last Airbender a cartoon from Nickoldeon.  I’ve also been playing with Tommy’s (Jeff’s roomate) cat, whom everyone beleived to be a girl until one day he grew boy parts.  So yes it is a he, and he has an oral fixation and like to suck on peoples hands.  Its unbeleivable cute until he bites to hard.  As I type this he is sitting next to me watching the cursor move across the screen waiting patientaly for me to lower one of my hands.  Oops not so patiently, he just pounced.  I’m now typing one handed.  I’ve never really been around cats but I think he is weird.  I think he likes me.  I was kind of worried he wouldn’t.   But I’ve got enough claw marks on my hands and arms to prove his over exuberant affection.

One of the school’s clubs is hosting a photo contest.  I’m hoping to enter, but I can’t narrow down the three that I want to enter.  Feel free to recommend any that you liked paticularly well.

Okay this is a pretty long update so I’m going to end here.  I think it is time to go to bed anyway.  Goodnight!
