seems like i just turned in my mather paper and i already have a latin paper due.
Sensie Leo was in a big tournament this weekend (7 different international teams attended) he took a first and a second place, both in sparring. He gave me the medals he won as thanks for helping him get ready (and possibly for not teaching class for over a month now ;) I told him he needs to get me a picture of the competition so i can make a "shrine of leo" if i ever open a martial arts school (which is most often done as a hobby anyways). im reading a book on the history of tia kwon do also. which dosnt mean that i spelled that right.
Ive been holding two seperate karate classes now so that the juniors (who have seminar at our normal time) can attend.
My mother and father are going to be absolutly addicted to the TV sieries im going to make them watch over spring break. House MD... http://www.fox.com/house/
I have a brilliant plan to start an icecream shop on campus but i cant find an electric icecream machine for less than 180$ and i would have to bring my car up to be able to go shopping so i guess its not going to work. actualy i could probably pull it off without the car but i still have to find a cheaper machine. I made some great ice cream in a little metal bowl inside of a large bowl of ice though this sunday just for fun.
hope all my readers are doing well (although at this point im pretty convinced that my readers consist of my mother and my girlfriend, if somebody else still reads this leave a comment please!)
phone is buzzing so i need to sprint out of the library. ciao

well
the weekend was a lot of fun. we took a hike on which we had completely no idea how to get to the punchbowls from the trail we took and ending up on the top of a very steep very tall hill (very tall like.... 400 feet of elevation tall. in flat areas it would be a mountain) which was fun. played DOTA with about 10 different people from my school. argued with about 3 other people whether ants could be accuratly simulated on modern technology and if this meant they were just robots. in general it was a good weekend.
I have a latin paper to write sometime in the next 14 days.
presidential candidate senator brownback is coming on friday to speak at our presidents day dinner. http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/jan/07012601.html for a bit of information (it was the first thing that came up on google, looks like a good candidate though. would be nice if he had a chance of winning (which right now he doesnt.) we all got a memo in our boxes saying that due to his security we will not be permitted to come or go from the dinner. anybody who wishes to attend must arrive on time and remain seated the entire time. thats a bit much.
well, not much else to say and people are waiting for this computer. more in a week or so.

W00t!
for many reasons i say w00t! (definition)
First becuase lucas is coming to visit for a three day weekend. we plan on hiking and playing video games and my mother has sent me a box of candy that we will consume. this in all should be amazingly fun.
second because said weekend is a three day weekend. monday is off for presidents day and it sounds like the school has managed to get the presence of one of the presidential candidates for the upcoming election to come visit (and that should be interesting). im not sure which candidate, actualy i havent kept up on who the candidates are yet so i simply didnt recognize the name when it was said. more on that in some future post.
third, my parents have helped me sign up for taglit birthright israel, a foundation that sends people between the ages of 18 and 26 to israel. that would be amazingly cool. first because i have never made it outside the united states, second because its israel and third because its free (or almost free).
Oh, and another reason to say W00t! Nicole and i have been officialy going out for two years as of yesterday and I can't possibly take enough opportunities to say that she is the most wonderfull person. thanks colie :) hope its embarassing being on my blog :-p
hope you all have your own reasons to say W00t! cya round.

look, another one of those "updates"
Yah, I'm actualy posting without somebody bugging me, amazing isnt it ;)
It's been busy busy busy. jack and i spent this saturday (from 7AM-3PM) working at a local ranch. there are pictures linked in my facebook profile for those who have facebook.
other than that its been homework and work. leo terrified some people in the kitchen today. heres the story in ridiculasly dramatized narrative form since i dont really have much else to post about ;)
I was mopping floors, same thing i do twice a week. the latecomers to dinner milled around like a herd of dazed sheep, or college students, its hard to tell the difference. i had just finished the long strip by the serving area when a group of girls walked by. blocked from continuing my work i looked up. one of the chefs stood there, i shot him the "what can i do" look that every worked has to learn to survive, then i shrugged and turned around to continue mopping. there was a sharp intake of breath from behind me as i saw the shaddow of the 6 foot 3 black man loom over the serving table. "Hey! you three, my man is trying to mop here! Next time you come after closing walk around to the other side." a disgruntled shweh of breath marked his leaving. he girls stood dazed, eventually they looked around cautiously to make sure no other cleaning tasks were in danger of being threatened by their movements. there was a scared silence as they slunk away to eat there late dinner somewhere where people were not so loud, or so tall. i kept mopping, just another night in the kitchen.

lol, yes, i really do need to write more in my little stories so these things dont end up online. that was an absurdly exagerated version of what happened.oh, i also drew a picture this weekend, its been improved a bit since this version but i would have to walk back to my dorm to get the most recent one. Im sure nobody can guess who its a picture of ;)
I did a prop today in math. it went ok, im liking theology, lab and philosophy more than ever. math and Latin are a little better than last semester, but i still just cant memorize the amount of information needed in the amount of time i have.
the girl sitting next to me in the computer lab just burst out "hey, TAC is on the internet!" she's a sophmore and she just found the website. lol. i mentioned to her that she should try googling her name. that was even more of a shock. heheh. wow, she placed in the top ten of a triathlon.
That reminds me we have a guest/potential student who is on the interesting side. i noticed him because he sat in our common room for three hours in the same spot. he is 40 years old and owns a chocolate factory in the Caribbean. my school attracts the oddest people. i study latin with a 35 year old with a masters in biochemistry. jacks section has another 30 year old with a degree in architecture. yup, discontents with good degrees welcome here. were gonna put up a sign that says "TAC, population 300 philosophically interested youths and 3 grouchy old men" ;)
well, this has rambled on long enough. thanks to whover has mad it this far reading.

its a bird, its a plane, its a post?
yes, i know i haven't posted in a while, again...
Latin is just as evil this semester as it was last semester, i have a better handle on how to study it but the language gets increasingly more absurd as you get into more complex principles (like perfect passive paraphrastics... thats a part of speech i never want to think about again).
In world news im deeply disturbed that Hillary Clinton is trying to run for president, peewee herman is making another TV show, and apple computers is making cell phones. all of these hurt my sense of right in the world.
my dorm had a "dorm party" tonight. we invited a couple of the tutors and the priests on campus, cooked steaks and sat around and talked, it was very fun, though i was starting to sound like gollum when the other people manning the grill tried to overcook the steaks "nasty hobbits, your ruinsing it!" the upper class men of course do not appreciate being called nasty hobits.
I have a paper due in math two weeks from now. i dont know what on earth im going to write about in a math class but i guess i should look over the recomended prompts.
I will try and post at least once a week, do post a comment to let me know people read this (with a name! not unintelligible initials!)

2 too go
Lab and philosophy are my only finals left.
Theology and Seminar were both extreemly good. i think i did very well on both.
we studied philosophy (myself and 3 classmates) for 4 hours last night. we will likely pull something similiar with Lab today. its intense but its amazing how much you can learn in that much time.
well, not much else to say. hope your all having a good last few weeks of school.
