The three Shoolies—we go together like spinal cords and car seats…

Well, what can I say? The internet and power were totally shut off all day at NPIC yesterday (Saturday—which means no students on campus), so I read a lot, played the guitar a bit, and ate some food. I also did some sit-ups and push-ups, but I don’t want to brag about it too much; I’m just trying to stay in shape for the American soccer season. What else? I am now sitting at Java (surprise) and it’s a hot muggy day. I woke up early this morning, shaved, dressed, and drove the old diesel all the way into town: it only died on me three times. I then dropped my chapter four and five tests off at the copier, headed to Java where I ordered the Big Breakfast Set #1, and Skyped Andrea. Yes, it’s been a productive day.

Tomorrow I start early with my Automotive class. They are always fifteen minutes late on Mondays, because, as they say, “Our real subject before this class Cher, so we must come late.” Awesome, what does that make English then, your fake subject? Yeah, I’m trying not to be hurt by it. So, after Auto, I have my IT class (my best class), and will have a good time reviewing for their upcoming test. If you’re reading this and thinking to yourself, “Sounds like a whole lotta fun,” then you’re in good company. It’s going to be a blast.

What else? Well, not much really. I am currently reading James Joyce’s Ulysses, it’s a whirlwind. Actually, it’s like wrestling an ancient Irish bear—the preface said, “Ulysses, an extremely difficult book to read, but well worth the effort.” To which I say, “If by extremely difficult you mean: I’ll have absolutely no idea what’s going on, then yes, I whole heartedly agree.” So, if any of you out there in blogland have any pointers feel free to let me in on your secrets.

Alright, not much else is going on. I’ll try to update the blog again when I get a chance, but who knows when that will be. Until then, have a great Sunday.

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Ben

Missing Andrea and Regan meter: I did all the dishes and sprayed for ants (again, Andrea will understand).
