I'm really not that drunk...


Last nigth I went out with some dear old friends. Not just old friends, but Old, old friends. No seriously, they're all either married, have extreme facial hair (Evan now looks like Captain Ahab), or work 40 hour weeks (inconceivable!). But yes, we met at our traditional Round Table Pizza, in the mall (I'm starting to wonder if that was a good tradition to start). It took 20 minutes to find parking. I didn't even know there were enough cars to fill our parking lot.

After reminissing over how old we were, we went and bought beer (thank you Sean), and went back to Danny's for the traditional: movies, chips, poker (+ beer). Other than that, I don't really remember what happened. Kidding! I only had 3 beers over the course of a few hours. Although everyone else will tell you my brain was on vacation. I will rebut that now and say it was not.

Coincidently, I lost horribly at poker. I blame the chips. The tortilla chips.

But all is well now. It's too close to Christmas for me to just come out and say I'm really bored. I'm really enjoying next semeter's reading list. And by that I mean I'm doing homework.

Agh....but I've yet to finish my Japan study-abroad application. My passport is somewhere in the mail on it's way here. And my letter of rec is somewhere in the mail on it's way to berkeley (hopefully). And I'm almost done with my Letter of Intent. Why can't i just fill out something like...one of those scantron sheets. Just fill in 10 bubbles and that's it? *sigh*

Anyways. . . maybe i'll start working out again. I could use an ab & back class.

Hmm.... I'm considering applying for the Honors Thesis program. It's a year long (2 semester) program for seniors. It's basically just another class in one's schedule, except you meet with your faculty advisor (of whom you choose), read a lot, and write a lot. Requirements: 3.7 major gpa, 3.5 career gpa and all pre-requisites finished. Surprisingly, I'm elligible. (I just have to *stay* elligible at this point). However, this would mean foregoing Japan. I won't know about my Japan app for a while, but the more I bury myself in the work of two highly esteemed professors, the more I'd like to attempt an honors thesis with either of them. (And, i'd be done with my major, giving me the time to devote to such a feat). If I don't get into the Japanese Program (40-50% chance) I will definitely apply for the Honors. Other than that, I'm trying to adjust to 6 hour class days, and the 3 hours of reading that follows class. Thank god I have monday and

Losing My Religion (and Health Insurance)

I must confess: the importance of health reform just got real. For some time now (since August of 2007) I've lived under the good graces of group health insurance. And not just any group health. We're talking: awesome group health (as in, cheap, sub-$300 deductible, $2,000 out-of-pocket, 80/20 co-pay insurance, huge networks, nearly all practices/procedures are covered, etc.). The corporate overlords informed us last week that the above mentioned health insurance is being dropped, with no replacement plan. They managed to work out a deal with the insurance overlords to allow us to keep the insurance in place until March of 2010 (they were actually considering just dropping it, immediately, as in: "sorry you no longer have health insurance, effective today; you should probably go get health insurance"). After reviewing with another health agent today about what choices we have available to us, as a small business, and to me as an individual--I AM COMPLETELY AND UTTE

Skipped a Few Seasons

::blows away the dust:: Well, somehow we're right back to Summer again.   The last nine months have been something special.  It's hard to believe that in that time I've been fortunate enough to snowshoe frozen lakes, dive the depths of Whiskey Town, scale the heights of Shasta, and otherwise hike much of the Northern hinterlands.   I'm in the middle of a dead zone as far as formal education goes.  I'm still another year out before I can start much of the course work I had planned (I realized much of it has ridiculous work experience requirements).  But, this has been a blessing.  I was able to take some time off in January and completed the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course--a necessary certification brought on by a close call at Mt. Lassen with a flipped car and several injured people.   So Summer is starting again, and though I'm sure I'll find myself in some exciting positions, I really am looking forward to those relaxing days where the only th
