Boston

Ok this weather thing is ridiculous. Its just silly. I look at the weather report and get all excited because its going to be in the 30's but then when the day comes its says something like "27 degrees feels like 7 degrees" and thats when I get sad. Because I'm excited and thinking that i might actually get some decent/livable weather and then its not there.

But I'm going to Boston today which is good because I get to see andy and eat real food and bad because I have a shitload of reading and work that needs to be done. eek. but I'm not taking a class at Amherst that i thought I might take, so that makes things better since with 4 classes and a gym I think I have my hands full.

Alright so now on to the joy of packing.

You are 27% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.


You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!


Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!


You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

I'm back!

Okay I've been a very bad blogger and I apologize but life and laziness got in the way of things. I've started classes and they're all pretty intense and I'm trying to decide if I really need to take 5 classes or if 4 and a gym is okay for me (I normally take 5 but most people take 4)...I just dont want to be bored, but my classes seem intense enough that it wont be a problem. We'll see though.

Both of these maps make me sad:


create your own visited country map
or write about it on the open travel guide



create your own visited states map
or write about it on the open travel guide


I must travel more. Thats the plan.

oh also think of this as a public service announcement.

okay this is it, tonight I will leave for Miami, and tomorrow morning I shall be on my merry way to Cuba! Strangely the flight doesnt leave until 1pm but we have to check in at 10am. But the flight only takes an hour so thats good.

Before I leave I still need to pack and translate some papers. eeek. kinda cutting it close but its okay.

okay kiddos, when i get back i'll post some pictures and tell some stories and it'll be like I never left for 11 days.
