Still Kickin'!

I'm still alive. Actually, I've got a lot of time on my hands this semester, as I had to drop my 5-credit German class. I don't want to bad-mouth the prof, but let's just say that if he had any clue what he was doing, he failed to impart it to the students. Rather disorganized.

So, I'm left with a remedial chemistry course (4 creds) and my first calculus course - my parents are so proud! Ahem. Yeah. So I have 9 credits total. The labs are stressful in chemistry (time constraints) and I'm convinced that voodoo originated in 17th century Europe.

Anyhow, what I'm really excited about is my adopting a younger brother. Yah. Well, no. Not legally, but I'm involved in a program akin to BBBS. That's Big Brothers Big Sisters. For those of you who don't know, you meet with a kid one evening a week for a committed time period (mine is nine months). It's called "mentoring," but you're basically being a big bro and role model. I'm having my match meet next Monday with K_____. He's ten yrs old and I'm told he enjoys the outdoors and science "stuff." He also fosters an interest in martial arts and fencing. I'm sure we'll get along well.

Oh yeah. Old Blind Dogs is playing in concert up here two Mondays from now. If you don't know who they are, shame on you. Go to iTunes, look them up, and sample their song "To The Beggin' I Will Go."

I definately plan on going as it's only $13.50. We're getting a group together, so if you want to go let me know. We'll be buying tickets all at once so as to be sure of sitting by each other.
