I’m sitting up here in the computer lab at school.. we recently got a connection though maf here. Makes browsing the web neato. Especially when I STILL don’t have netscape at home… I was up here chatting with Gandalf and Lorax and some other wizards earlier. Rivendel is such a cool place… Anyway, I just came back from the library where I watched a video about African religions that i missed while I was out of town and couldn’t attend world religions class. I also was trying to read John Locke’s first treatise on government because I asked Dr. Schaefer…
I was sitting at my desk doing Greek homework when I noticed something was buzzing in my room. A wasp was hovering nearby, so I returned Stalin to his cage, walked out, shut the door, and ran downstairs for a fly swatter, fogetting that, due to the current construction on our house, everything that was once in the laundry room is now in boxes distributed around the dining room and the floor of the new laundry room.

As I was gathering my books strewn across my desk in preparation for school this morning, I caught sight of my mouse standing up on the cardboard tube in the aquarium where he lives (I call it the “mousepad”), with his forepaws leaning up against the glass, and shouting “Take me with you!” Well, okay, maybe it was more like, “Come and get me!” I haven’t quite mastered rodent-speak.
