hey hey, it's only been a month and a half, keep your pants on, I've done worse...oh wait haha, that last post I did was never actually posted..I see it here... 12/27. Well It's going up now as well I suppose.

Anywho. Time has raced by these past few months. By some odd distortion of relativity, November was yesterday and June seems like 10 years ago.

Being on BH (Boarding House) duty (which means dishwashing) has been a real drain. The lack of weekends mash everything together to make me really wonder how time flies by. It's good hours though...after dinner when one would normally slack off anyway. Man do I miss weekends though..

And there ain't gonna be much of that until about august, cuz I'm on Dairy! Starting March 2nd, I'm gonna be up at 5:30 every day for 7 weeks, and then another 7 weeks of it during July. excitin'!

Milkin' Cows, Milkin' Cows...(to the tune of Jay-from-Jay-and-Silent-Bob's Schmokin' Weed, Schmokin' Weed...)

Olof has moved to Sweden, my parents are freebirds.

My summer plans are all sorts of screwed up. I'm waiting on a job that would throw a wrench in a whole lot of promises people think I made...haha.

Valentine's Day was...well...hmpf.

Time is a-flyin'. sheesh, that's all I can really think about right now.
The past term has been speckled with a hog slaughter, a handful of hikes, academics, mild self-governance scandals...oh I dunno.

There was this one hike...
We left at 5:30 in the morning under a full moon with clear skies...Cat Steven's Moonshadow came to mind. It was amazing hiking through what is normally alien terrain under sterile blueish white lighting. And the silence of the desert was ever-present.
We made it to the top of mount L (on in a chain along the lake..Mount L, Mount L, Mount Nunn...L.L. Nunn founded DS..it's cute)... just in time to witness a divine convergence as the moon set to a greenish purple backdrop in the west and the sun rose to a blood orange backdrop in the east. Standing atop a rock monolith doing disciplined yoga-ish moves, washing the skiles from east to west as the heavens transformed.

mmm.
all that, and I may be a step closer to knowing what I want to do with my life...haha.
