Let me first say that I can't even believe how incredibly awesome my website looks on the 15" MacBook Pro glossy screen. Words cannot describe it. Too bad I want to change the CSS.

The apartment that Mark and I have moved into, along with Stuart (a kid from my International Relations class last fall) and Jon (a guy in my fraternity) is pretty nice, save the fact that the Illinois basketball players that lived here all last year did a number on all the desks and floor lamps. It's party central, but more on that later.

Classes are going to be tough this year, that much is certain. In one class we are reading three different texts simultaneously, while reading at least one book per other class, meaning that at any time I could be reading and trying to retain upwards of seven books. I'm not complaining, just observing.

So, as the year starts, I'm already getting tired of the partying. Mark, Jon, and Stuart aren't; not that there's anything wrong with that. Yet as the year starts and I find things out about people that I thought I knew, I'm glad that I'm here in Champaign and not back in Alton comiserating on the past. Special thanks to Sarah for the good conversation today; way to keep me on my toes.
