a lovely friday

its friday, finally. this week went some what slowly, of course it is the first full week of classes..that could be why.
this is going to be s tough semester reading wise, it takes about twenty minutes to read just about 5 pages in my introduction to international law text book. and thats just the first of four books. i am pretty sure that my favorite class is going to be US National Security Policy. that might be because its my minor :)
i am going to Illinois this weekend for yet a nother forensics tournament! if i do well (3rd place or higher) in one of my speeches im going to NATIONALS!!!! im also debuting a new speech this weekend. im not the nervous type but by golly im a little nervous.
i think ive determined my favorite time of day in ripon. now that i dont have an 8 am class, i come into work at 830 or 9 most days, everybody is either in class or still sleeping. and when the sun is shining and the wind isnt blowing to much, the way the snow has fallen or the trees are resting is just perfect. its like one of those calenders you would find in a bookstore with picturesque places.
last night my roomate sarah and i had a long discussion about whether or not she should shower in the morning or afternoon... those are the moments i love the non serious ridculous conversations right before bed
have a lovely weeknd

New Semester

Well the new semester is finally under way. its a different semester than i have had before. during the day i only go to two academic classes, as i have a monday night class. I am excited about that one but not sure i have the attention span all the time. and this semester im trying something new by having an internship at the National Forensic League. its a little werid getting 4 credits without ever stepping foot in a class room but i am learning a lot.
the forensic season for me is going really well, i only need to place one more time and if i do i can go to nationals. i am really excited about the prospect of going to nationals!!!!
today was founders day a celebration of the founding of Ripon College, it was interesting though not really what i had expected, but thats half the fun of attending new events.
tomorrow is our first radio show of the semester! Hawks View News is at it again!

its so cold today, i think my nose might fall off!
