It’s been a busy couple of weeks, it really has. First off, I finished my second Humanities paper and my Humanities midterm exam. The best thing about the Honor Principle is that you can take some of your exams in your room - if I had wanted to, I could have taken it in bed! Meanwhile, I’ve been wasting a lot of time playing Super Smash Brothers (which involves a lot of Kirby being thrown around) and watching movies with my dormies. We had a great time watching the Emperor’s New Groove last week, and tonight we’re watching the Incredibles! Last night we watched the Nightmare Before Christmas, and then stayed up late running into doors, standing on couches, and trying to do various stretches. We’re weird, I know. :)

The other big thing is that I’ve stopped going reactor training. The problem with working at the reactor is that the idea itself is just so awesome! But in reality, it’s mainly just memorizing technical specifications and learning safety procedures. The nuclear physics I was excited about is limited to about three lectures over the entire year. I felt really bad quitting, but I also don’t want to waste my time doing some I don’t love.

On the other hand, I’ve gotten myself into Mock Trial, playing Bailey Reynolds, a kidnapping victim. Peaches and Jacob are most excited about seeing me in pigtails…

Well, with all my work behind me, it’s off to enjoy Fall Break! A whole week of sleep and relaxation… and trying to make some progress on my secret project (the Illiad Game). Oh, and checking out the beautiful new toys from Apple.
