We're in Slocum on the third floor again but not in the same hall. My RA's name is Jennie Vader
and she's nice. Sammi and I are getting along very well, as usual. We purposely arranged furniture in our room to leave a ton of space,
because we want to put in a table and a couch. This weekend we'll be perusing craiglist and/or garage sales for sub-$30 furniture.
This one looks good.
It seats 8. And it folds!
Send Me Things
Sammi's in Lit Theory this block, and reading Heart of Darkness, so please send my stack of DVDs, especially Apocalypse Now. I have a box of things I'm sending back (including some useless NCL care package things from last year, so don't falsely harangue me for buying a leopard-print wallet.)
Block One
Intro to Some International Relations
I made some contributions to the discussion today, which blows, because now the professor's going to expect me to have insights on future discussions. Sometimes I just don't have something to say on a particularly obvious topic, ya know?
I translated French for my class today (even though our class has a French major, who couldn't do it. heh)
Montesquieu: Une maladie nouvelle s'est répandue en Europe ; elle a saisi nos princes et leur fait entretenir un nombre désordonné de troupes. Elle a ses redoublements, et elle devient nécessairement contagieuse ; car sitôt qu'un Etat augmente ce qu'il appelle ses troupes, les autres, soudain, augmentent les leurs ; de façon qu'on ne gagne rien par là que la ruine commune. Chaque monarque tient sur pied toutes les armées qu'il pourrait avoir si ses peuples étaient en danger d'être exterminés, et l'on nomme paix cet état d'efforts de tous contre tous. Aussi l'Europe est-elle ruinée.Visitors
When are the Petruskas coming over for volleyball?
2008 women's cross country preview
Future looks bright for young Tigers (ha ha)
My running is going really well. I adjusted to the altitude with no problem; start with daily doubles in the pool tomorrow morning. Just keep swimming . . .

Thanks for the update but you still need to call us.
The Petruskas are coming to watch Caitlyn/Whitman play CC in volleyball the weekend of the 13th. I'll email you Mrs. P's email address & cell phone # so you can connect with them. But if C. is your Facebook friend, touch base with her that way too.
Your room...what can I say...
I don't care if you want to send home a box of stuff. The bigger question is, do you still want me to send the stuff that's in your room here? You want more stuff?
And did you close out the storage unit?
Call.

I gave Montesquieu my best shot. Something about how a new malady is running amok in Europe with princes/monarchs/the State/what have you trying to accumulate so many troops that they get all disorganized; and it's contagious in that it makes other states/monarchs increase their manpower, gradually causing "la ruine commune." So...then...the monarch who has all of his armies on the ground ready to go against one army might not realize other dangers threatening his people, and then...the free-for-alls begin...and voila! That's why Europe is in ruin.
I should stick to Spanish and Italian for now.
