I'm at Starbucks in Charlotte right now, and I'm really enjoying this venti 4-pump mocha. This is a really nice store, very expansive floor plan. I'm here because I came to pick up a faculty member from the airport in an hour. I'd love to stay a little longer and tell you how things are going, but I really have a lot of studying to do. Maybe another time I can bring you up to speed on the events of the semester. See you later.

P.S. The weather got cold yesterday and today, and it is soooo nice.

Thinking about Portland

Hello, Everyone. I haven't been on here in a while, but I'm hoping to try to keep a little more regular update. (I know I've said that before.) On the airplane on the way here, before we got off the ground in Portland, these two guys that had been in town for the Dew Tour were asked to leave the plane for being unruly. They obviously didn't like it. One of the young guys was saying how they were under-aged so there's no way they could have been drinking. I shrugged; it was interesting. Then I put my head down and went to sleep. I woke up occasionally during the flight. The full moon shone in my window and glinted off the wing of the aircraft. When I got to the airport, I had to wait for my ride, so I tried napping in at least three different positions.

Now I'm back at school. All the guys in my dorm arrived on Friday, and we're ready to start this semester. More news later. And Timbers beat Vancouver 2-1. RCTID.
