The Ring Goes South

Back in the US(SR)

Low res view of the quad. Snow.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything substantive here, and I’m sorry.  But Read more » and then you'll be all caught up.

February Break, Lost Traction and Radiators

Today Erika and I dropped Grace off at the bus station in Portland so she could get to Vermont for a few days. It started to snow just before Erika and I started to drive back to Bates. I had Erika drive because I had never driven in snow...well she hadn't either but was a more experienced driver. Our Prius lost traction in the snow three times, within 5 minutes of each other, all only 2 miles from school. We first almost ran into a stopped car in front of us, and then almost glided into oncoming traffic, and then almost hit a car that was driving forward as we were turning left but couldn't stop. Luckily Erika utilized snow drifts to stop our car. I was intensely impressed with her accident-avoidance skills. I would have probably got us killed. 

Starting your Valentine's Day Right

I was going to send this to Derek, but I bet you'll all appreciate it.

More to come later, promise.

I just lost a pint of blood.

HAHAHA BECAUSE I DONATED BLOOD TODAY.

Oh Shoot

It's all about capture

and display

the way I see it

If take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.

Our Friends, the Creationists

Ready to reinstate your belief that we live in the GREATEST, SMARTEST, BESTEST country (???they're/their/there???) is?!

She has a point, their.

SNOWWWWW DAYYYYY

So today a large storm hit and it snowed the entire day. Because of this I've been neglecting most of my duties and my work for the day. So I have a lot of reading to do that's due tomorrow and I've started it very late in the night so I cannot create an entire blog post tonight.  I will, however, update it tomorrow so that I can fully explain to you what wonderful things are going on in my life. Also fun fact I'm using the microphone dictation tool on the iPhone keyboard to write this message out. 我想你们都奇妙。Oh my God I can do it in Chinese too this is amazing. Okay goodnight you gorgeous popsicles!

I have an hour before my club meeting so I will try to cram all that has happened in my life lately into this blog post in that short span.  Wish me luck.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,

It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . .
