day 3 and 4

The library was closed yesterday so i didnt get a chance to post. I spent the early half of the day attending mass, reading and begening my homework for this week. In the afternoon I took a hike up to "the punchbowls". The weather, vegitation and general envoirnment out here is amazing. I almost stepped on a snake, thankfull it didnt take offence at this neer miss.

Today was metriculation. The bishop of colorado springs siad mass and we all signed the official registrar of the college. Later I have meetings on library use, dorm rules, and workstudy.

I'm starting to read "insect world" by Fabre. The man is so intensely interested in bugs it is amusing.

Hopefully I shall get to post in greater depth later.

---- It is now later. Much later. Almost 9PM actualy. My workstudy job is kitchen. It wasnt bad tonight, i worked 2 hours. 99% the same as what I did at subway.

Comment moderation has been turned off for those of you who that was anoying. I saw it and though "more power!! WHAHAHAHA" but aparently its just plain anoying so I shall let you all have your little posting powers to yourselves.

To answer some questions: Yes, signing the registrar was very much like signing any great document. except that we got aplauded.... I dont know if the signers of the declaration got that.
to aunt Jenny: Jack is a perfect roomate so far. keeps everything clean. does his homework, dosnt stay out late. Lets me set my alarm clock for whenever (i have a dual alarm so he gets his own seperate time should he choose).
Lastly: the hike was just over 2 hours... over rough terain, it was no less than 4 miles... probably that was about as far as it was though becuase it really was up and down hills and such.

Thanks again to all for reading and especaily those who comment.

P.S. Fabre was an evil man, he pretty much expirimented in what you could do to bugs untill they starved to death.. puting them in mazes and such with food just out of reach..... I'm sure there is something significant that i am missing though.

Patrick and Jack, Tiana and Becca expect a very strange man to be visiting you soon....This is not a chinese fortune, Uncle Dan is in San Jose for a retreat and said he's stopping by TAC afterwards. Jack, make sure you share your humidor selection with him.
