Today has been pretty much a normal day. School, rain, walking--all the way to Nat's apt. from the parking garage to eat a delicious dinner, I might add--, and doing homework--all night long. The homework thing is where I am really running into trouble....it has taken me three hours to write a two page paper about myself....yeah, I know. It's suppose to be simple...i know who I am, where I have been, and what I have done, but I just can't seem to put it in words.....just taking a break to clear my mind, then back on it again...good luck to me. HASTA

I made a quick trip back to O-Town tonight for a ghetto battle downtown. No shootings or anything like that to report, but there was some poaching goin on. Eagles I mean. North downed Central 22-19. I drove into town, shot the game (without getting shot at myself) and then drove home. More pictures on chrisvankat.com to come. Congrats Gnat on choosing a new hip major (even if you are copying Steph). One Love.

I'm finally unpacked at my new home in Lincoln, after what seemed like an eternity. I moved my stuff down Wednesday and Thursday and I still have some unpacking to do. The weird thing is that I didn't even bring that much stuff with me. I have just been shifting it from one side of the room to the other. The room won't be completely finished until I get my new bed stand in, which should be arriving sometime Wednesday evening. Until then, I have a lowrider bed.

Classes started bright and early (7:45am) this morning with me knocking a light fixture onto my head and it breaking on the floor next to me. I knew I was in for a long day with that kind of start. Because I hadn't picked up my parking pass, I was forced to park on Charleston street (like forever away from campus). All four classes went well although I do have two uneventful gaps in my schedule. I am trying to get those replaced with classes. Maybe that will be done by Wednesday.

For anyone that cares:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: class from 9:30-3:30
Tuesday, Thursday: class from 2:00-3:30

After being hounding for months, by nearly everyone on the planet, I have joined the blogosphere. I will start slow, but as time rolls on, I just may learn to love it.
