Gwen Sattler, the most photogenic kid in the world, shows off her cuteness with the snowy mountains in the background. 

Justin and I at the top of the world (or that big clump of dirt thing...) 

Attention: new song

In deference to my good friend, Justin #2, I have changed my song from it's "depressing" Three Doors Down original, to a more upbeat tune, namely that of Sara Evans' "Born to Fly". This is only a temporary change however, because he is being a brat about it.



Thank you.

Something wicked this way comes...

... or something like that. I think that's the tagline for Harry Potter, although I've never seen it- I just like the way that phrase is worded. And the wicked thing is the unbelievable amount of papers that are required over this semester. Here's a rundown of my classes and how I feel about them thus far in the semester (four days).



English Lit II-- pretty much the same as English Lit I: ten-pound book, three essays, four tests, and Dr. White. Enough said.



Nutrition-- should be fun. The book cost 78 dollars and it's not even all that big, and it's paperback, so somewhere somebody's making a lot of money. A good chance to feel guilty about what I eat during the day. But Mrs. Peterson teaches it, so that makes it a thumbs up. No big projects this semester, but four research articles.



The Novel-- EIGHT STINKIN' PAPERS!!!!!!!!!! You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!



Ethics-- Another ten papers, belive it or not, these ones focusing on the deep recesses of my mind (where most people should not be permitted to go) to find out what I belive and why. That's a lot of soul- searching. And a lot more papers.



Those are my only CHC classes. Advanced ASL has not yet started up, but I'm sure it will be pretty hard. Beginning was cake, intermediate was pretty crazy trying to keep up, and I'm sure advanced will be insane!



This is all just to say that if nobody sees me for four months... this wickedness is why.

Conclusion of the picture trip

Anyway, hopefully those pictures show up on here. You have to look at them from bottom to top to go chronologically. After Starbucks we headed to Jessica's, where I made the guys try Sardines for making me try Starbucks (Jessica claims that was not a fair trade), and then we all watched Wicker Park, which was not at all what we expected it to be. Not bad, just not what the previews made it to be. Then we stayed up till one making new ring tones for Jesse's cell phone. It's been four days, and the boys still laugh hysterically everytime they hear one go off. Yeah, it was really late. Good times, good times.

And after a quck trip to the bathroom.... 

Hmmmmm......
